NCT00620295

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of solid tumors by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bortezomib together with gemcitabine may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib and gemcitabine in treating older patients with advanced solid tumors.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Maximum tolerated dose of bortezomib and gemcitabine

    A minimum of a 3 week period (1 cycle) must be completed by all patients within a dose level before dose escalation to the next level may occur. A cycle is defined as treatment day 1 and 8 with follow-up through day 21.

    Day 21 (Week 3 - Cycle 1)

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Toxicity

    30 Days after Last Treatment

  • Disease response as measured by RECIST criteria

    Week 4

  • Characterization of gemcitabine and metabolite pharmacokinetics (as part of co-enrollment in Population Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacogenetics of Gemcitabine in Adult Patients with Solid Tumors")

    Pre-Dose

Study Arms (1)

Gemcitabine / Bortezomib

EXPERIMENTAL

Gemcitabine will be administered as a 30 minute intravenous infusion at the patient's assigned dose on day 1 and day 8 of a 21 day cycle. Bortezomib will be given 1 hour after gemcitabine by IVP over 3 to 5 seconds followed by a standard saline on days 1 and 8 of a 21 day treatment cycle until disease progression or for a maximum of 6 cycles.

Drug: bortezomibDrug: gemcitabine hydrochloride

Interventions

Bortezomib will be given 1 hour after gemcitabine by intravenous pyelogram (IVP) over 3 to 5 seconds followed by a standard saline flush or through a running intravenous (IV) line at the patient's assigned dose (1.0 up to 1.8 mg/m\^2) on days 1 and 8 of a 21 day treatment cycle until disease progression or for a maximum of 6 cycles.

Also known as: Velcade
Gemcitabine / Bortezomib

Gemcitabine will be administered as a 30 minute intravenous infusion at the patient's assigned dose (800 up to 1000 mg/m\^2) on day 1 and day 8 of a 21 day cycle.

Eligibility Criteria

Age70 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsOlder Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced non-hematologic malignancy, including any of the following:
  • Breast cancer
  • Lung cancer
  • Colon cancer
  • Pancreatic cancer
  • Head and neck cancer
  • Sarcoma
  • Must have failed or become intolerant to prior standard therapy and is no longer likely to respond to such therapy (for all diseases except pancreatic cancer)
  • Pancreatic cancer patients may be enrolled with no prior therapy requirements since gemcitabine is the current standard of care 1st line therapy
  • Measurable or nonmeasurable disease
  • Concurrent enrollment in the University of Minnesota study "Population Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacogenetics of Gemcitabine in Adult Patients with Solid Tumors" (Human Subjects Code 0508M72989) required
  • ECOG performance status of 0-1
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mm³
  • Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm³
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL
  • +11 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Symptomatic brain metastases
  • Serious concomitant medical or psychiatric disorders (e.g., active infection or uncontrolled diabetes) that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the safety of the patient or compromise the patient's ability to complete the study
  • Myocardial infarction within the past 6 months
  • New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure
  • Uncontrolled angina
  • Severe uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias
  • Electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia or active conduction system abnormalities
  • Peripheral neuropathy ≥ grade 2
  • Known hypersensitivity to bortezomib, boron or mannitol
  • Prior radiotherapy to ≥ 25% of the bone marrow
  • Prior radiotherapy to the whole pelvis
  • Concurrent filgrastim (G-CSF) or other hematologic support during course 1 of study treatment
