About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial of Oral Penclomedine

Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of penclomedine in treating patients with malignant solid tumors or lymphomas. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and Phase II dose of oral penclomedine in patients with malignancies.

II. Determine the toxic effects of oral penclomedine in these patients. III. Determine the pharmacokinetics of oral penclomedine in these patients. IV. Determine the bioavailability of oral penclomedine in these patients.

OUTLINE:

Patients enrolled on the bioavailability portion of this study receive one dose of IV penclomedine over 1 hour followed by 2 weeks of rest. At the end of two weeks, they receive oral penclomedine for 5 days every 28 days. The starting dose is determined by a single primary patient who has been administered oral penclomedine and observed for dose limiting toxicity (DLT). [Bioavailability portion completed as of 3/98.] Those not on the bioavailability portion of study start on a standard design dose escalating schedule in which patients enroll in cohorts of 3. Patients are administered oral penclomedine daily for 5 days. This treatment repeats every 4 weeks. The MTD is defined as the dose immediately below that at which 2 patients experience DLT. Treatment repeats for 6 courses or until severe toxicity or tumor progression is observed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing penclomedine in people with Lymphoma and Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, 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.

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 11 Feb 2013. 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?
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 11 Feb 2013.
