Abstract

PURPOSE: To evaluate intraperitoneal (IP) nab-paclitaxel in patients with advanced malignancies that are primarily confined to the peritoneal cavity in a phase I trial.

METHODS: Using a 3 + 3 dose escalation of IP nab-paclitaxel on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle, we evaluated six dose levels (35-175 mg/m

RESULTS: There were no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in cohorts 1-3. There was a DLT in one of six patients in cohort 4 (112.5 mg/m

CONCLUSIONS: Weekly IP nab-paclitaxel has a favorable toxicity profile, a significant pharmacologic advantage, and promising clinical activity.
