About this study

Official title: A Phase I Surrogate Endpoint Trial of Human Recombinant Endostatin in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors Amenable to Biopsy

Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of endostatin in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors. Endostatin may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the optimal biologic dose of endostatin in patients with advanced solid tumors.

II. Determine the safety and tolerability of this regimen in these patients. III. Determine the extent, frequency, and duration of tumor response in these patients on this regimen.

IV. Determine the pharmacokinetic profile and interpatient pharmacologic variability of this regimen in these patients.

  1. Determine the recommended phase II dose and schedule of this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study.

Patients undergo a biopsy during prestudy and after the second course of treatment. Patients receive endostatin IV daily for 4 weeks. Patients on dose level 1-6 receive endostatin over 20 minutes. Patients on dose level 7 receive endostatin over 40 minutes, with no treatment on day 2 of the first course only. Treatment continues every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of endostatin until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed for 1 month.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing recombinant human endostatin in people with 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.
