Scientific titleWeekly administration of oral docetaxel in combination with ritonavir for the treatment of a variety of tumour types: an optimal dosing study
Study acronymN07DOW
Study objectivesWe aim to determine the optimal dose and formulation of oral docetaxel in combination with ritonavir and investigating if the systemic exposure to docetaxel can also be enhanced by other CYP3A4 inhibitors.

Hypothesis:
30 mg oral docetaxel in combination with 100 mg ritonavir is a safe starting dose.
Ethics approval(s)Local Medical Ethics Committee approved on the 11th of October 2007
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCancer; various docetaxel sensitive-tumours
Intervention1. Oral and intravenous administration of docetaxel/paclitaxel and CYP3A4 substrates
2. Blood draw for PK and laboratory analasys
3. Computed tomography (CT) every 2 months
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Docetaxel, ritonavir
Primary outcome measureTo determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose limiting toxicities (DLT), and optimal dose of docetaxel (ModraDOC001) that can safely be administered to patients with cancer in a weekly schedule.
Secondary outcome measures1. To determine the haematologic and non-haematologic toxicity
2. To preliminary assess anti-tumour activity of docetaxel
3. To determine the effect of ritonavir on the clearance of docetaxel
4. To estimate the apparent oral bioavailability of docetaxel in combination with ritonavir
5. To establish the effect of functional genetic polymorphisms, C1236T (for MDR1) and CYP3A4*1B, on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of oral docetaxel and ritonavir
6. To determine the effect of a second ritonavir dose 4 hours post-dose
7. To determine the systemic exposure of the new oral docetaxel formulation (ModraDOC001) in combination with ritonavir
8. To determine the systemic exposure to docetaxel after administration of ModraDOC001 alone.
9. To investigate whether the systemic exposure to docetaxel can also be enhanced by other CYP3A4 inhibitors, especially ketoconazole, grapefruit juice and clarithromycin
10. To investigate whether ritonavir improves the apparent bioavailability of paclitaxel
11. To investigate whether the systemic exposure to paclitaxel can also be enhanced by other CYP3A4 inhibitors, especially ketoconazole, and clarithromycin
12. To determine the systemic exposure of the new oral paclitaxel formulation (ModraPAC001) in combination with ritonavir
13. To preliminary investigate the influence of a double dose of ritonavir 200 mg on the pharmacokinetics of oral docetaxel and paclitaxel

11. Able and willing to swallow oral medication
12. Arm F: Patients for whom weekly paclitaxel can seriously be considered therapy with palliative intent, with tumour types that reasonably will respond
Key exclusion criteria1. Patients with known alcoholism, drug addiction and/or a history of psychotic disorders that are not suitable for adequate follow up
2. Women who are pregnant or breast feeding
3. Both men and women who do not agree to use a reliable contraceptive method throughout the study

9. Neurologic disease that may render a patient at increased risk for peripheral or central neurotoxicity
10. Symptomatic cerebral or leptomeningeal metastases
11. Acid neutralizing medicines (e.g. aluminium hydroxide), should not be administered for at least 2 hours prior to and after the intake of ketoconazol (Arm D)
