Erlotinib and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Basic Trial Information

Phase Type Status Age Sponsor Protocol IDs Phase I Treatment Active 18 and over NCI MAYO-MC0112 NCI-5351, NCT00045201, 5351

Objectives

1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of erlotinib and irinotecan, in relation to presence or absence of UGT1A1*28 polymorphism, in patients with advanced solid tumors that overexpress epidermal growth factor receptor.
2. Determine the dose-limiting toxicity of these regimens in these patients.
3. Determine whether erlotinib alters the disposition of irrinotecan using a previously described limited sampling model.
4. Determine factors that influence the disposition of these drugs, including genetic variation in UGT1A1 and BCRP, in patients treated with these regimens.
5. Detemine factors that influence the disposition of these drugs, in terms of tumor BCRP-expression, in tumor samples from patients treated with these drugs at the MTD.
6. Evaluate the effect of this regimen on epidermal growth factor receptor phosphorylation in these patients.
7. Assess, preliminarily, any antitumor activity in patients treated with these regimens.
8. Correlate, preliminarily, EGFR phosphorylation and/or BCRP -expression with response in tumor samples from these patients.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

• Histologically confirmed malignancy that overexpresses epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)

Ophthalmic

• No abnormalities of the cornea (e.g., dry eye syndrome or Sjögren's syndrome)
• No congenital abnormality (e.g., Fuch's dystrophy)
• No abnormal slit-lamp examination using a vital dye (e.g., fluorescein or Bengal-Rose)

Expected Enrollment

A total of 92 patients (20 in stratum 1 [closed to accrual as of 9/15/04], 42 in stratum 2, and 30 in stratum 3) will be accrued for this study within 3.25-5 years.

Outline

This is a dose-escalation study. Patients are stratified according to UGTA1A genotype (all patients regardless of genotype [closed to accrual as of 9/15/04] vs UGT1A1 6/6 genotype vs UGTA1A 6/7 or 7/7 genotype).

Patients receive oral erlotinib daily on days -6 to -1. Patients then receive irinotecan IV over 90 minutes on day 1 and oral erlotinib once daily on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients per stratum receive escalating doses of erlotinib and irinotecan until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Additional patients are treated at the MTD.

Patients are followed for 3 months.
