Brief Summary: 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 UCN-01 in treating patients with advanced cancer that has not responded to previous treatment
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the toxicity profile dose limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of UCN-01 administered as a 3 2 or 1 hour infusion every 4 weeks for patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies and chronic lymphoproliferative disorders II Investigate the pharmacokinetics and cellular pharmacodynamics of UCN-01 administered on this schedule in these patients III Obtain preliminary evidence of the antitumor activity of UCN-01 in this patient population
OUTLINE This is dose escalation study Patients receive UCN-01 by intravenous infusions over 3 2 or 1 hours every 4 weeks The first dose level is administered over 3 hours the next dose level is administered over 2 hours and the next and subsequent dose levels are administered over 1 hour One patient is treated at each dose level until unacceptable toxicity is observed An additional 2 patients are then entered at that dose level If dose limiting toxicity DLT is experienced in 1 of 3 patients 3 additional patients are accrued at that dose level If 2 or more patients experience DLT the maximum tolerated dose has been surpassed and a total of 6 patients must be treated at the previous dose level If no patients develop DLT the dose is escalated in successive cohorts of 3 patients per dose level Patients are followed for 4 weeks after each drug administration before subsequent patients can be entered at the next higher dose level Patients are followed for 2 months after their last dose of UCN-01
PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 36 patients will be accrued into this study over 18 months
