Trial Outcomes & Findings for Surgery Plus Chemotherapy (Doxorubicin, Vincristine and Etoposide), Mitotane, and Tariquidar to Treat Adrenocortical Cancer (NCT NCT00071058)

NCT ID: NCT00071058

Last Updated: 2012-09-18

Results Overview

Response was assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Complete response is defined as the disappearance of all signs and symptoms of tumor for a period of at least 4 weeks. Partial response is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of all measured lesions lasting for a period of 4 weeks.

Measure
Surgery Plus Chemotherapy
Surgical resection can be performed at the time of study entry, when patients have a mixed response, or if their tumors respond to chemotherapy. Surgical resection will be followed by chemotherapy with 2 grams oral dose daily of mitotane on cycle 1, day 1, 6 mg/m\^2 continuous intravenous infusion doxorubicin over 96 hours days 1-4, 0.18 mg/m\^2 continuous intravenous infusion vincristine over 96 hours days 1-4, and 36 mg/m\^2 continuous intravenous infusion etoposide over 96 hours days 1-4, and 150 mg tariquidar through central venous catheter over 30 minutes on days 1 and 3.
