Oxaliplatin and Paclitaxel Plus Bevacizumab in Advanced Peritoneal Carcinomatosis

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Peritoneal Cancer

In brief

The goal of this clinical research is to learn acceptable dosages of paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, and Avastin (bevacizumab) that can be given in combination to patients with advanced peritoneal carcinomatosis. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.

Age: any. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Patients must have advanced peritoneal carcinomatosis: they have either a disease where there is no established standard of care therapy or have failed one or more prior therapy. These include, but not limited to, recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer, advanced endometrial cancer, advanced gastric cancer, advanced colorectal cancer, and advanced primary peritoneal mesothelioma without significant chest involvement. Previous intraperitoneal therapy with different agents is allowed as long as their diseases have progressed.
• Patients must have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status < or = 2 (0-2).
• Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below: Absolute neutrophil count > or = 1,500/mcL Platelets > or = 100,000/mcL Total bilirubin < or = 2.0 and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) <2.5 * the institutional upper limit of normal; Creatinine < or = 2.0 mg/dL or creatinine clearance > or = 40mL/min/1.73m2.
• Patients must be able to understand and the willingness to sign an Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved written informed consent document.
• Patients must have evidence of peritoneal carcinomatosis that is evaluable by computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
• In the clinical judgment of the investigator, patients must have adequate potential intraperitoneal fluid distribution with no gross fluid loculations and adhesions that would significantly affect intraperitoneal drug distribution. This determination may be made based on documented clinical, imaging or laboratory assessment.
• Patients must have prothrombin time (PT)/ partial thromboplastin time (PTT) within 1.2 * the institutional upper limit of normal or < 3 * the institutional upper limit of normal on anticoagulants.
• Patients must have resting blood pressure no greater than 140 mmHg(systolic) or 90 mmHg (diastolic) for eligibility. Initiation or adjustment of blood pressure medication is permitted prior to study entry.

You may not qualify if…

• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV), unstable angina pectoris, symptomatic cardiac arrhythmia, active bleeding, active thrombosis, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
• History of allergic reactions to the study drugs or their analogs.
• Failure to recover from any prior surgery within 4 weeks of study entry.
• Pregnant or lactating. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to the start of treatment. Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (barrier method of birth control) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation and for at least 3 months after the last treatment.
• Any treatment specific for tumor control within 3 weeks of study drugs; or within 2 weeks if cytotoxic agents were given weekly (within 6 wks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C), or within 5 half-lives for target agents with half lives and pharmacodynamic effects lasting less than 5 days (that include but are not limited to erlotinib, sorafenib, sunitinib, bortezomib, and other similar agents); or failure to recover from the toxic effect of any therapy prior to study entry.
• Serious non-healing wound, ulcer, bone fracture (including abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation or intra-abdominal abscess), or history of bleeding diathesis.
• History of radiotherapy to the abdominal and pelvic regions or history of multiple abdominal surgeries that contraindicates this protocol therapy.
• Urine dipstick for proteinuria >/= 2+ (patients discovered to have >/= 2+ proteinuria on dipstick urinalysis at baseline should undergo a 24 hour urine collection and must demonstrate </= 1g of protein in 24 hours to be eligible).
• Grade 2 or greater neuropathy, and history of brain or leptomeningeal metastases that significantly increase risks of intracranial bleeding.
