Official title
Phase I/II Evaluation of Continuous 24h Intravenous Infusion of Mithramycin, an Inhibitor of Cancer Stem Cell Signaling, in Patients With Primary Thoracic Malignancies or Carcinomas, Sarcomas or Germ Cell Neoplasms With Pleuropulmonary Metastases
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Background: Mithramycin is a new cancer drug. In another study, people with chest cancer took the drug 6 hours a day for 7 straight days. Many of them had liver damage as a side effect. It was discovered that only people with certain genes got this side effect. Researchers want to test mithramycin in people who do not have those certain genes. Objectives: To find the highest safe dose of mithramycin that can be given to people with chest cancer who have certain genes over 24 hours instead of spread out over a longer period of time. To see if mithramycin given as a 24-hour infusion shrinks tumors. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who have chest cancer that is not shrinking with known therapies, and whose genes will limit the chance of liver damage from mithramycin Design: Participants will be screened with: * Medical history * Physical exam * Blood and urine tests * Lung and heart function tests * X-rays or scans of their tumor * Liver ultrasound * Tumor biopsy * Participants will be admitted to the hospital overnight. A small plastic tube (catheter) will be inserted in the arm or chest. They will get mithramycin through the catheter over about 24 hours. * If they do not have bad side effects or their cancer does not worsen, they can repeat the treatment every 14 days. * Participants will have multiple visits for each treatment cycle. These include repeats of certain screening tests. * After stopping treatment, participants will have weekly visits until they recover from any side effects.
