Measure
Phase I
Cycles will be of 4-week duration. Carboplatin was administered on day 1 intravenously for 3 weeks (days 1, 8, 15) and paclitaxel weekly intravenously for 3 weeks on days 1, 8 and 15. Capecitabine was given orally twice daily days 18-21 followed by 1 week rest.
Phase II
Phase II trial combination at the recommended doses from the Phase I portion in patients with adenocarcinoma of unknown primary site.

Population: The Phase II study was prematurely terminated at 25 patients due to cessation of funding

Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 6 years

For patients enrolled on the Phase II portion of the trial Progression Free Survival (PFS) was measured from the percentage of patients that were still alive, without evidence of disease progression for 6 months following the initiation of treatment. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions

For patients enrolled on the Phase II portion of the trial the time to progression was measured as the time from when the patient started treatment to the time the patient is first recorded as having disease progression or the date of death if the patient dies due to causes other than disease progression.
