Trial summary

High dose methotrexate with leucovorin rescue has demonstrated activity in numerous malignancies. Although high dose methotrexate is generally well tolerated, unpredictable life-threatening toxicity can occur. Read more about this study

About this study

High dose methotrexate with leucovorin rescue has demonstrated activity in numerous malignancies. Although high dose methotrexate is generally well tolerated, unpredictable life-threatening toxicity can occur. For patients who have markedly delayed clearance of methotrexate secondary to renal dysfunction, therapeutic options are few and are of limited efficacy. Carboxypeptidase-G2 inactivates methotrexate by hydrolyzing its C-terminal glutamate residue. Carboxypeptidase-G2 could be used to rescue patients with renal dysfunction and delayed methotrexate excretion, as it provides an alternative to renal clearance as a route of elimination.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing carboxypeptidase-G2 in people with Kidney Diseases, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00001298, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Mar 2008.
