Fenretinide in Treating Children With Solid Tumors

This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants.

Sponsors and Collaborators: Children's Cancer Group
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Information provided by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00003191
  Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of fenretinide in treating children who have solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapy.


Condition Intervention Phase
Neuroblastoma
Unspecified Childhood Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific
Drug: fenretinide
Phase I

MedlinePlus related topics:   Cancer    Neuroblastoma   

Drug Information available for:   Fenretinide

Study Type:   Interventional
Study Design:   Treatment
Official Title:   A Phase I Study of Fenretinide (NSC #374551) in Children With High Risk Solid Tumors

Further study details as provided by National Cancer Institute (NCI):

Estimated Enrollment:   18
Study Start Date:   March 1998

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of fenretinide (HPR) in children with high risk solid tumors. II. Determine the toxicities of HPR in these patients. III. Determine the pharmacokinetics of HPR in these patients. IV. Determine the CSF level of HPR in patients whom cerebrospinal fluid is obtained for routine purposes while on this study. V. Determine the effect of HPR on plasma retinol levels in these patients. VI. Determine the activity of HPR in these patients. VII. Determine the antitumor activity of HPR on minimal residual bone marrow disease in neuroblastoma.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study. Patients receive oral fenretinide 3 times a day on days 1-7. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for up to 8 courses. Patients may receive an additional 22 courses of therapy in the presence of stable or responding residual tumor. Patients with recurrent neuroblastoma, after prior myeloablative therapy with no measurable disease, will stop treatment after 8 courses. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of fenretinide 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 toxicity. Patients are followed until death.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 18 patients will be accrued for this study in 2 years.
