Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of PNU 166148 in treating patients who have metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to previous treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study to Evaluate MAG-CPT (PNU 166148) Given as One Single Intravenous Administration Every 4 Weeks in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

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

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of PNU 166148 in treating patients who have metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to previous treatment.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the safety profile, maximum tolerated dose, and dose limiting toxicities of PNU 166148 in patients with metastatic, refractory solid tumors. II. Define a recommended dose of PNU 166148 for a Phase II study. III. Determine the pharmacokinetic profile and molecular weight distribution of PNU 166148 and the pharmacokinetic profile of free camptothecin in these patients. IV. Assess any evidence of antitumor activity in these patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation, open label, multicenter study. Patients receive PNU 166148 IV over 30 minutes. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 3-6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of PNU 166148 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which at least 2 of 3-6 patients experience dose limiting toxicity. Patients are followed for 30 days, and then monthly thereafter only for resolution of adverse events that occurred while on study and were attributable to study drug, unless another antitumor treatment is begun.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 30 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing mureletecan in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by University of Glasgow at 2 sites in United Kingdom.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United Kingdom. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 19 Dec 2013.
