About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Study of Interstitial Colloidal 32P for the Treatment of Recurrent Malignant Central Nervous System Tumors and Primary Central Nervous System Tumors With Poor Prognostic Factors

RATIONALE: Radioactive drugs such as phosphorus 32 may be able to kill tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of phosphorus 32 in treating patients with glioblastoma multiforme.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the dosimetry toxicity of interstitial colloidal phosphorus P32 (C P32) in patients with recurrent or poor prognosis grade 4 astrocytoma.
  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of C P32 administered directly into the tumor of these patients.
  • Determine the maximum tolerated fractionated dose of interstitial C P32 in these patients.
  • Determine the therapeutic response rate to the acceptable single and fractionated doses of C P32 in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive interstitial colloidal phosphorus P32 (C P32) on day 0. Courses repeat every 4-6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3 patients receive escalating doses of C P32 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined the dose at which 2 of 3 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 15, and 24 weeks.

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing brachytherapy and phosphorus P32 in people with Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors, run by Center for Molecular Medicine 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Sep 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. 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 17 Sep 2013.
