Brief summary

The aim of the study is to determine the MTD of Paclitaxel in association with metronomic Cyclophosphamide.

Detailed description

The aim of the study is to determine the MTD of Paclitaxel in association with metronomic Cyclophosphamide for cancer which present no therapeutic solution

Interventions

DRUGPaclitaxel dose escalation

Paclitaxel will be administered intravenously over 60 minutes, at D1, D8 and D15, at a given dose. The Paclitaxel dose (mg/infusion) levels are as follows: * 40 * 60 * 70 * 75 * 80 * 85 * 90

DRUGPaclitaxel

Patients will be treated at the recommended dose in order to confirm the recommended paclitaxel dose in association with metronomic cyclophosphamide

DRUGCyclophosphamide

D1 to D28: 50 mg x 2/day/cycle 1 cycle = 28 days

BIOLOGICALBlood collection

At D1, D8, D15 and D21 of cycle 1 and cycle 2:2 blood samples for the correlation between clinical response and biological parameters

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Determination of the iv paclitaxel maximum tolerated dose and recommended dose in association with a fixed dose of oral cyclophosphamide28 days = cycle 1A DLT is defined below: Hematological toxicity: * Polynuclear neutrophils \< 500/mm3 for more than 7 days * Febrile neutropenia (Polynuclear neutrophils \< 1 000/mm3 and fever \> or = 38.5°C) or documented infection * Thrombopenia (Platelets \< 25 000/mm3) * Impossibility to administer D8 or D15 due to hematological criteria Non-hematological toxicity: Any grade 3 or 4 toxicity related to study treatment, with the exception of fatigue and alopecia
