Brief summary
The primary objective of this trial is to determine the maximum-tolerated and recommended dosed of split-dosed irinotecan and paclitaxel when combined with carboplatin in patients with metastatic or recurrent refractory malignancies. Secondary objective was to evaluate the toxicity and safety of this combination regimen in this patient population and obtain preliminary data of activity. Cohorts of 3 to 6 patients will receive escalating doses of irinotecan and paclitaxel until the maximum tolerated dose is determined.
Interventions
This is a dose escalation study of irinotecan and paclitaxel given on days 1 and 8 in combination with carboplatin standard-dosed every three weeks. To investigate the maximum tolerated dose of irinotecan and pacitaxel split-dosed on days 1 and 8 in combination of carboplatin given in single effusion on day 1 before irinotecan and paclitaxel. n patients with solid tumors. Treatment will be recycled every three weeks and will continue to a maximum eight cycles in patients deriving clinical benefit in the absence of dose limiting toxicity
