Description

This is a study of infusional doxorubicin, vincristine, and etoposide in combination with daily oral mitotane in patients with adrenocortical cancer. Although mitotane has been used extensively in adrenocortical cancer and has documented single agent activity, only limited experience is available in the use of mitotane in combination with chemotherapy. In this trial the primary reason for using mitotane is an attempt to enhance therapeutic efficacy, based on its documented in-vitro activity as an antagonist of P-glycoprotein. The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of this thera...

Eligibility criteria

  • Biopsy-proven primary or recurrent adrenocortical carcinoma considered surgically resectable at presentation or potentially resectable following an initial response to chemotherapy.
  • Potentially resectable disease includes primary lesion, nodal metastases, and liver and lung metastases if limited in size and number.
  • Patients for whom surgical resection is considered unlikely may be entered at the discretion of the investigator.
  • Measurable disease at presentation required.
  • A life expectancy of at least 3 months and a performance status (Karnofsky scale) of 70 percent or greater.
  • Prior chemotherapy is allowed, however, the patient should not have received chemotherapy four weeks before presentation.
  • Patients who have received prior doxorubicin may be enrolled provided they meet all other entry criteria and have an ejection fraction greater than 40 percent determined by MUGA scan.
