Trial Outcomes & Findings for Doxorubicin and Bortezomib in Treating Patients With Liver Cancer (NCT NCT00083226)

NCT ID: NCT00083226

Last Updated: 2014-10-30

Results Overview

Tumor response was measured by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.0. Objective response rate included complete response (disappearance of all tumor lesions) and partial response (At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum longest diameter.).

Measure
Treatment (Doxorubicin+Bortezomib)
Patients receive doxorubicin IV over 5-15 minutes on days 1 and 8. Patients also receive bortezomib IV over 3-5 seconds on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with no disease progression may continue to receive bortezomib alone in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. doxorubicin: Given IV bortezomib: Given IV
