Official Title: A Phase I and Pharmacologic Study of the Proteasome Inhibitor PS-341 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors and B-cell Lymphoproliferative Disorders

Brief Summary:

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of PS-341 in treating patients who have advanced cancer.


Detailed Summary:

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose and toxicity of PS-341 in patients with advanced malignancies.
  • Determine, in a preliminary manner, the therapeutic activity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study.

  • Regimen A: Patients receive PS-341 IV twice weekly for 4 weeks. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of PS-341 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 1 of 3-4 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

  • Regimen B: Once the MTD has been determined in regimen A, patients receive PS-341 IV twice weekly for 2 weeks. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed for 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 78 patients will be accrued for this study within 14 months.
