Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with etoposide, doxorubicin, cisplatin and mitotane (EDP/M) prolongs survival as compared to streptozotocin and mitotane (Sz/M) in patients with advanced adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) whose disease is not amenable to complete surgical resection.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of adrenocortical carcinoma
  • Locally advanced or metastatic disease not amenable to radical surgery resection (Stage III-IV)
  • Radiologically monitorable disease
  • ECOG performance status 0-2
  • Life expectancy > 3 months
  • Age ≥18 years
  • Adequate bone marrow reserve (neutrophils > 1500/mm3 and platelets > 100,000/mm3)
  • Effective contraception in pre-menopausal female and male patients
  • Patient's written informed consent
  • Ability to comply with the protocol procedures (including availability for follow-up visits)
  • Previous palliative surgery, radiotherapy or radiofrequency ablation is acceptable as long as radiologically monitorable disease is verifiable afterwards.

Exclusion Criteria

  • History of prior malignancy, except for cured non-melanoma skin cancer, curatively in situ cervical carcinoma, or other cancers treated with no evidence of disease for at least five years.
  • Previous cytotoxic chemotherapy for adrenocortical carcinoma
  • Renal insufficiency (serum creatinine ≥2 mg/dl or creatinine clearance ≤ 50 ml/min)
  • Hepatic insufficiency (serum bilirubin ≥2 x the institutional upper limit of normal range and/or serum transaminases ≥ 3 x the institutional upper limit of normal range; exception: in patients on mitotane, transaminase levels up to 5 x the institutional upper limit of normal range are acceptable)
  • Pregnancy or breast feeding
  • Known hypersensitivity to any drug included in the treatment protocol
  • Presence of active infection
  • Any other severe clinical condition that in the judgment of the local investigator would place the patient at undue risk or interfere with the study completion
  • Decompensated heart failure (ejection fraction <50%), myocardial infarction or revascularization procedure during the last 6 months, unstable angina pectoris, and uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia
  • Current treatment with other experimental drugs and/or previous participation in clinical trials with other experimental agents for adrenocortical carcinoma
  • Prisoners
