A Phase I Study of Weekly Gemcitabine in Combination with Infusional Fluorodeoxyuridine and Oral Calcium Leucovorin in Adult Cancer Patients



A Phase I Study of Weekly Gemcitabine in Combination with Infusional Fluorodeoxyuridine and Oral Calcium Leucovorin in Adult Cancer Patients

For Condition: Neoplasms
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Cancer Institute (NCI) ,
Synopsis: The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical toxicities associated with administering sequential dFdC as a one hour infusion followed by a continuous infusion of FUdR over 24 hours with low dose oral LV weekly for three weeks out of four.
Details: The MTD and biochemically active dose of FUDR as a 24-hour and gemcitabine as a 2-hour infusion will be determined first (Part A); if the biochemically active FUDR dose is less than the MTD, new patients will be entered to determine the maximum tolerated duration of FUDR infusion (Part B).

Chemotherapy: Greater than 4 weeks since prior chemotherapy and recovered from all toxic effects with following exceptions: At least 6 weeks since prior mitomycin C or nitrosourea therapy. At least 3 months since prior suramin therapy. Endocrine Therapy: Not specified Radiotherapy: At least 2 weeks since prior radiotherapy (4 weeks if at least 21% of marrow irradiated) and recovered from all toxic effects. Surgery: Recovered from any prior surgery. PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS: Age: 18 and over. Performance status: ECOG 0-2 Hematopoietic: AGC at least 2,000/microL. Platelet count at least 100,000/microL.
