Trial summary

RATIONALE: Interleukin-12 may kill tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor and by stimulating a person's white blood cells to kill cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-12 in treating patients who have hematologic cancer or solid tumor. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial of Recombinant Human Interleukin-12 After High-Dose Therapy and Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Support

RATIONALE: Interleukin-12 may kill tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor and by stimulating a person's white blood cells to kill cancer cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-12 in treating patients who have hematologic cancer or solid tumor.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the safety and maximum tolerated dose of interleukin-12 (IL-12) in patients with hematologic malignancies or solid tumors who have undergone high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. II. Evaluate the hematologic and immunologic effects of IL-12 in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. Patients receive interleukin-12 (IL-12) IV as a single test dose followed by 2 weeks of rest. Patients then receive IL-12 IV daily for 5 days followed by 16 days of rest for up to 6 courses. Cohorts of 3-5 patients receive escalating doses of IL-12 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 5 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Patients are followed until death.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing recombinant interleukin-12 in people with Breast Cancer and Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders, run by Indiana 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 10 Sep 2014. 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 10 Sep 2014.
