AZD2281 and Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2015-02-13
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

RATIONALE: AZD2281 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving AZD2281 together with irinotecan may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of AZD2281 and irinotecan in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer.

• Phase: Phase 1
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

• No GI tract disease resulting in an inability to absorb oral medication, including the following:

• Uncontrolled inflammatory GI disease (e.g., Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis)

• Post-surgical malabsorption characterized by uncontrolled diarrhea that results in weight loss and vitamin deficiency or requires IV hyperalimentation

• Pancreatic enzyme supplementation is allowed

• No untreated and/or uncontrolled hypertension, cardiovascular conditions, and/or symptomatic cardiac dysfunction
