Phase I Pilot Study of High-Dose Carboplatin and Cyclophosphamide and Autologous Bone Marrow and Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Rescue in Patients With Platinum-Sensitive Ovarian Epithelial Carcinoma (Summary Last Modified 09/2001)
Alternate Title Combination Chemotherapy, Bone Marrow Transplantation, and Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Ovarian Epithelial Cancer
Objectives I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of carboplatin when combined with cyclophosphamide as high-dose therapy followed by autologous bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell rescue in patients with platinum sensitive ovarian epithelial carcinoma. II. Determine the efficacy of this regimen in these patients. Entry Criteria Disease Characteristics: Histologically confirmed advanced ovarian epithelial malignancy of one of the following histologies: Serous adenocarcinoma Endometrioid adenocarcinoma Mucinous adenocarcinoma Undifferentiated carcinoma Clear cell adenocarcinoma Mixed epithelial carcinoma Fallopian tube and extraovarian peritoneal papillary serous tumors also allowed Documented responsiveness (using established clinical criteria) to a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen required Partial or complete clinical response to the most recent chemotherapy regimen required Bone marrow aspirate and biopsy morphologically negative for carcinoma and cellularity greater than 50% No CNS involvement Prior/Concurrent Therapy: Biologic therapy: Not specified Chemotherapy: See Disease Characteristics No more than 2 prior chemotherapy regimens At least 4 weeks since prior chemotherapy (at least 6 weeks since prior nitrosoureas) Endocrine therapy: Not specified Radiotherapy: No prior radiotherapy for ovarian cancer Surgery: Not specified Patient Characteristics: Age: 18 to 65 Performance status: GOG 0-2 Life expectancy: Not specified Hematopoietic: WBC greater than 3,000/mm3 Absolute neutrophil count at least 1,500/mm3 Platelet count greater than 100,000/mm3 Hepatic: Bilirubin less than 1.5 mg/dL* SGOT less than 60 IU/mL* * Unless abnormality due to metastatic involvement Renal: Creatinine less than 2.0 mg/dL* * Unless abnormality due to metastatic involvement Cardiovascular: LVEF at least 45% by MUGA scan No active congestive heart failure No myocardial infarction within the past year No active arrhythmia No active angina pectoris No uncontrolled hypertension Pulmonary: FVC and FEV at least 50% predicted Other: No peripheral neuropathy No uncontrolled diabetes mellitus No history of other malignancy except basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer No debilitating medical or psychiatric illness that would preclude informed consent or study Expected Enrollment 18A minimum of 18 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year. Outline This is a dose escalation study of carboplatin. Autologous bone marrow (ABM) is harvested on day -11, filgrastim (G-CSF) is administered subcutaneously (SC) on days -11 to -7, and autologous peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) are harvested on day -6. Patients receive high dose chemotherapy comprising carboplatin IV over 15 minutes on days -5 and -4 and cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days -3 and -2. PBSC are reinfused on day -1, ABM is reinfused on day 0, and G-CSF is administered SC beginning on day 7 and continuing until blood counts recover. Cohorts of 2-4 patients receive escalating doses of carboplatin until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which no more than 10% of patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. A minimum of 6 patients receive carboplatin at the MTD. Patients are followed at 1 month and then every 3 months for 5 years. Trial Lead Organizations Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins
Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol. |
