Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Gene therapy such as GEM 231 may inhibit the growth of cancer cells and make the tumor more sensitive to chemotherapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Open-Label Safety Study of Escalating Doses of Taxotere in Combination With Escalating Doses of GEM231 in Patients With Refractory Solid Tumors

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Gene therapy such as GEM 231 may inhibit the growth of cancer cells and make the tumor more sensitive to chemotherapy.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining docetaxel and GEM 231 in treating patients who have recurrent or refractory solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose of docetaxel and GEM 231 in patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors. II. Determine any preliminary antitumor activity of GEM 231 in this patient population.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of GEM 231 and docetaxel. Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1, immediately followed by GEM 231 IV over 2 hours on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Treatment continues every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients are treated with escalating doses of GEM 231 and docetaxel until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which no more than 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicity. Patients are followed monthly for 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 1 patient will be accrued per week for this study until the maximum tolerated dose is reached.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GEM 231 and docetaxel in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by Montefiore Medical Center 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 2018. 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 2018.
