Tipifarnib and Erlotinib Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of tipifarnib and erlotinib hydrochloride in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body. Tipifarnib and erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
-
To determine the maximal tolerated dose of R115777 (tipifarnib) in combination with OSI-774 (erlotinib hydrochloride).
-
To describe the toxicity profile of this combination. III. To evaluate the effect of OSI-774 on the disposition of R115777. IV. To evaluate in vitro markers of farnesyl transferase (FT) inhibition and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibition.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients receive erlotinib hydrochloride orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 (days 8-28 of course 1 as of 11/4/2013) and tipifarnib PO twice daily (BID) on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. (Closed to accrual as of 2/2/06)
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of all adverse events, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common (NCI) Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 [Up to 30 days after last study treatment]
The number and severity of all adverse events (overall, by dose-level, and by tumor group) will be tabulated and summarized in this patient population. The grade 3+ adverse events will also be described and summarized in a similar fashion.
- Incidence of toxicity graded according to NCI CTCAE version 3.0 [Up to 3 months]
Overall toxicity incidence as well as toxicity profiles by dose level, patient and tumor site will be explored and summarized. Frequency distributions, graphical techniques and other descriptive measures will form the basis of these analyses.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Best response as assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [Start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence, assessed up to 3 months]
Best Response is defined to be the best objective status recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started). Responses will be summarized by simple descriptive summary statistics delineating complete and partial responses as well as stable and progressive disease in this patient population (overall and by tumor group).
- Time until any treatment related toxicity [Up to 30 days after last study treatment]
- Time until treatment related grade 3+ toxicity [Up to 30 days after last study treatment]
- Time until hematologic nadirs (white blood cells, ANC, platelets) [Up to 3 months]
- Time to progression [Up to 3 months]
- Time to treatment failure [Time from registration to documentation of progression, unacceptable toxicity, or refusal to continue participation by the patient, assessed up to 3 months]
Other Outcome Measures
- Inhibition of EGFR from tumor biopsies [Up to day 21 of course 1]
Any change in these measures will be summarized descriptively within each patient and as whole group.
- Inhibition of FT from tumor biopsies [Up to day 21 of course 1]
Any change in these measures will be summarized descriptively within each patient and as whole group.
- Incidence of any genetic polymorphisms [Up to day 21 of course 1]
Assessed and summarized descriptively in those patients treated at the MTD.
Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:
-

-
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1500/uL
-
Platelet count (PLT) >= 100,000/uL
-
Total bilirubin =< 2 mg/dL
-
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)

-
Medically capable and willing to provide the biologic specimens as required by the protocol Note: The goals of this study include assessment of the biologic effects on surrogate markers of the agent(s) being tested and are, therefore, contingent upon availability of the biologic specimens; patients with pre-existing clinical contraindications (e.g. anticoagulant therapy) for biopsy will be excluded from participation in the study; however, those patients who develop a major complication associated with the first biopsy (e.g. bleeding) or who develop clinical contraindications (e.g., anticoagulant therapy) after entry on study may remain on the study without the requirement for further tissue biopsies; this stipulation only applies to the 12 patients enrolled in Cohort II at MTD; the stipulation for provision of biologic specimens, as noted above, excludes the optional pharmacogenomic specimen
