About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of ISIS 2503, an Antisense Inhibitor of H-ras, in Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer

RATIONALE: ISIS 2503 may kill cancer cells by inhibiting a gene that promotes the development and growth of cancer.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ISIS 2503 in treating patients who have metastatic and/or locally recurrent colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response rate, duration of response, and time to progression in patients with metastatic and/or locally recurrent adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum treated with ISIS 2503, an antisense inhibitor of H-ras. II. Determine the safety profile of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive ISIS 2503 IV continuously for 14 days. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 14-25 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ISIS 2503 in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by University of Alabama at Birmingham 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 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 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 was stopped early. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine the response rate, duration of response, and time to progression in patients with metastatic and/or locally recurrent adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum treated with ISIS 2503, an antisense inhibitor of H-ras (time frame: baseline to survival). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 12 Apr 2013.
