Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of MS 209 plus docetaxel in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase I Study to Determine the Safety of MS-209 in Combination With Docetaxel in Patients With a Solid Progressive Tumor

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of MS 209 plus docetaxel in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of oral MS-209 when given with docetaxel IV in patients with advanced solid malignant tumors.
  • Assess the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation, multicenter study of MS-209.

Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 of a 3 week course. On day 1 of the 2nd course, patients receive MS-209 orally followed by docetaxel IV over 1 hour. Treatment is repeated every 3 weeks for 4-7 courses (including course with docetaxel alone). Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of MS-209 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which 2 of 3 or 3 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicities.

Patients are followed every 6 weeks.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 3-30 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing docetaxel and dofequidar fumarate in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC at 3 sites in 2 countries.

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 24 Sep 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France, Germany. 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 24 Sep 2012.
