Information provided by: | National Cancer Institute (NCI) |
Purpose
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin in treating young patients who have relapsed or refractory solid tumors or leukemia.

Official Title: Phase I Study of 17-N-Allylamino-17-Demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) in Pediatric Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors or Leukemia
OBJECTIVES: Primary
Secondary
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study.
Patients with solid tumors receive 17-N-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 17 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of 17-AAG 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.
Once the MTD is determined, up to 6 additional patients with leukemia receive 17-AAG at the MTD as above. If these 6 patients tolerate this regimen, another 6 leukemia patients receive 17-AAG IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, and 18. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 17 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients are followed at 30 days.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 36 (3-24 with solid tumors and 12 with leukemia) will be accrued for this study.
