Clinical Pharmacology In The Elderly: Prospective Evaluation Of The Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacogenetics And Pharmacodynamics Of CPT-11 And Aging

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing
so they stop growing or die. Aging may affect the way these drugs work.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to determine the relationship between aging and the effectiveness of
irinotecan in treating patients who have solid tumors.

OBJECTIVES:

- Determine whether there is a relationship between the pharmacokinetic characteristics
of irinotecan and aging in patients with non-hematologic malignancies.

- Determine whether there is a relationship between the toxic effects of this drug and
aging in these patients.

- Determine whether the relationship between genotype (UGT1A1, CYP3A, and other relevant
genes) and phenotype (pharmacokinetics, toxicity) is affected by aging in these
patients treated with this drug.

- Analyze data collected on the co-morbid conditions and concurrent medications in these
patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to age (18 to 55 vs
70 and over).

Patients receive irinotecan IV over 90 minutes once weekly for 4 weeks. Treatment continues
in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed for survival.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 140 patients (70 per stratum) will be accrued for this study
within 3.5 years.
