Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Topotecan may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. Combining chemotherapy with topotecan may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining UCN-01 with topotecan in treating patients who have recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer.

Detailed description

OBJECTIVES: * Determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose of UCN-01 and topotecan in patients with recurrent ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer. * Determine the safety and tolerability of this regimen in these patients. * Determine the relationship between clinical and pharmacokinetic effects of this regimen in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study. Patients receive UCN-01 IV over 3 hours on day 1 and topotecan IV over 30 minutes on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 21 days for at least 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of UCN-01 and topotecan until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Up to 12 additional ovarian epithelial cancer patients are then treated at the recommended phase II dose. Patients are followed at 4 weeks and then every 3 months thereafter. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 6-10 months.
