Study summary

This is an open label trial for patients currently enrolled in other perifosine trials.

Read the detailed description

Perifosine is an oral anticancer agent with limited toxicity and a novel mechanism of action that is distinctly different from cytotoxic chemotherapies. It has been shown to inhibit and otherwise modify signaling through a number of pathways including Akt, p21, and JNK. Perifosine has been tested in Phase I and Phase II settings in a variety of dosing schedules including daily, weekly, and daily following a loading dose. In general, it has been well tolerated with dose-related nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue being the most commonly observed toxicities.

Perifosine has induced partial responses or stable disease in solid tumors including but not limited to renal cell, sarcoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Perifosine is currently being studied in multiple diseases as a single agent as well as in combination with other cancer therapies. As studies are closed there are patients that have achieved a partial response or stable disease.

Interventions

  • DrugPerifosine

    All patients should continue therapy on their current regimen until disease progression. The trial specific intervention is specified in the arms descriptions.

    Also known as: D-21266, KRX-0401

  • DrugTrastuzumab

    Trastuzumab was given 6mg/kg i.v. daily or 2 mg/kg i.v. on day 1, 8 and 15.

  • DrugTamoxifen

    Endocrine therapy with tamoxifen will be evaluated in combination with perifosine to determine if the combination overcomes resistance to endocrine therapy .
