Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of EMD 121974 in treating patients with solid tumors or lymphoma. Cilengitide (EMD 121974) may stop the growth of cancer cells by stopping blood flow to the cancer

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. Determine the dose-limiting toxicity, maximum feasible dose, and recommended phase II dose of cilengitide (EMD 121974) in patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma.

  2. Determine the safety and tolerability of this drug in these patients.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients. II. Determine the antineoplastic activity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive cilengitide (EMD 121974) IV continuously on weeks 1-4. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of EMD 121974 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Treatment (cilengitide)

Patients receive cilengitide (EMD 121974) IV continuously on weeks 1-4. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of EMD 121974 until the MTD is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
