About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Tretinoin (TRA) in Patients With Mycosis Fungoides/Sezary Syndrome

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of tretinoin in treating patients who have any stage mycosis fungoides or Sezary syndrome.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the efficacy of tretinoin (TRA) in patients with mycosis fungoides/Sezary syndrome. II. Evaluate the spectrum of toxicity of TRA in this patient population.

OUTLINE: Nonrandomized study. Single-agent Chemotherapy. Tretinoin, All-trans-Retinoic Acid, TRA, NSC-122758.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: If 1 or more of the first 15 evaluable patients experience an objective response, then 20 additional patients will be entered. It is anticipated that the accrual rate will be 1-2 patients per month.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing tretinoin in people with Lymphoma, run by Northwestern University at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2012. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 NCT00002479, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 May 2012.
