Objectives

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of CC-5013 in patients with refractory solid tumors and/or lymphoma.
  2. Characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of this drug in these patients.
  3. Determine whether any correlations can be made between plasma concentrations of this drug and toxicity or clinical activity or biological activity in these patients.
  4. Characterize the side effect profile of this drug in these patients.
  5. Determine the dose-limiting toxicity of this drug in these patients.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically confirmed refractory solid tumor and/or lymphoma


  • No brain metastases or primary CNS malignancies

  • No concurrent cytotoxic chemotherapy

Endocrine therapy:

  • At least 4 weeks since prior hormonal therapy
  • Concurrent luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist required in patients with prostate cancer unless prior orchiectomy has been performed

Radiotherapy:

  • At least 4 weeks since prior radiotherapy

Surgery:

  • See Endocrine therapy
  • Prior surgery allowed

Other:

  • Recovered from prior therapy
  • No concurrent anticonvulsants (e.g., phenobarbital, phenytoin, or carbamazepine)
  • No concurrent rifampin
  • No concurrent grapefruit juice

Patient Characteristics:

Age:

Performance status:

  • ECOG 0-2

Life expectancy:

  • More than 3 months

Hematopoietic:

  • Granulocyte count at least 1,500/mm3
  • Platelet count at least 100,000/mm3

Hepatic:

  • Bilirubin normal
  • ALT and AST less than 2.5 times normal

Renal:

    OR

  • Creatinine clearance greater than 60 mL/min

Cardiovascular:

  • No unstable or newly diagnosed angina pectoris
  • No myocardial infarction within the past 6 months
  • No New York Heart Association class II, III, or IV congestive heart failure

Pulmonary:

  • No chronic obstructive lung disease requiring oxygen therapy

Other:

  • No uncontrolled seizures
  • No concurrent acute critical illness
  • No serious untreated infection
  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception during and for 2 months after study participation

Expected Enrollment

A total of 3-51 patients will be accrued for this study.

Outline

This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive oral CC-5013 on day 1. Within 4-10 days, patients begin second course and receive oral CC-5013 once daily on days 1-21. Subsequent courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of CC-5013 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.

Patients are followed at 2 weeks.

Trial Start Date 2002-04-01

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.
