Azacitidine Plus Phenylbutyrate in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors That Have Not Responded to Previous Treatment Clinical Trials Information presented on Clinical Trials Search is not designed to be a substitute for certified medical advice, trips or professional assistance with a real medical doctor. We aren't docs. Always confer with your doctor about Azacitidine Plus Phenylbutyrate in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors That Have Not Responded to Previous Treatment conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Azacitidine Plus Phenylbutyrate in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors That Have Not Responded to Previous Treatment Clinical research trials and Azacitidine Plus Phenylbutyrate in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors That Have Not Responded to Previous Treatment health trials happen in many of cities across the US. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally measure the effectualness of new does drugs. The intention of the studies / projects is to figure out particular human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to detect cures for all forms of circumstances, like Azacitidine Plus Phenylbutyrate in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors That Have Not Responded to Previous Treatment. Azacitidine Plus Phenylbutyrate in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors That Have Not Responded to Previous Treatment Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to undergo medical treatment options before they are available to the general public. Most times the subjects get treatment for free of charge, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Azacitidine Plus Phenylbutyrate in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors That Have Not Responded to Previous Treatment clinical trial. Subjects frequently get the best healthcare possible for their Azacitidine Plus Phenylbutyrate in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors That Have Not Responded to Previous Treatment condition. Hazards are a reality, however, and could include more or frequent mD visits, health risks (possibly life-jeopardizing), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with exacting guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Azacitidine Plus Phenylbutyrate in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors That Have Not Responded to Previous Treatment



Azacitidine Plus Phenylbutyrate in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors That Have Not Responded to Previous Treatment

For Condition: Lymphoma,small intestine cancer,adult solid tumor,Leukemia
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of azacitidine plus phenylbutyrate in treating patients who have advanced or metastaticsolid tumors that have not responded to previous treatment.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Evaluate the safety and toxicity of azacitidine plus phenylbutyrate in patients with refractory solid tumors. - Determine the maximum tolerated dose of this treatment regimen where maximal gene reexpression occurs in these patients. - Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of these drugs in these patients. - Determine the minimally effective dose of azacitidine in combination with phenylbutyrate that elicits a biological or clinical response in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study. Patients receive azacitidine subcutaneously for 14-21 days and sodium phenylbutyrate IV continuously for 1-7 days. Treatment repeats every 35 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses and durations of treatment with azacitidine and phenylbutyrate until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicities. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 3-24 patients will be accrued for this study over 12-18 months.
