Adults 3 to 21, any sex, with Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors or Carcinoma of Unknown Primary. Patients with the condition only — healthy volunteers not accepted.
What's being measured
Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.
-
Estimate the maximum tolerated dose of intraventricular topotecan on this schedule
Time frame: First 14 days of therapy -
Number of patients with dose-limiting toxicity
Time frame: First 14 days of therapy -
Estimate the dose of intraventricular topotecan that will result in cerebrospinal fluid lactone concentrations exceeding 1 ng/mL for at least 8 hours after an intrathecal injection
Time frame: Day 1 of Week 1
Sponsor's own description
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects, best way to give, and best dose of topotecan when given by intraventricular infusion in treating young patients with neoplastic meningitis due to leukemia, lymphoma, or solid tumors.
