Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs such as SU5416 may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining SU5416 with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase I Trial of SU5416 in Combination With Weekly Paclitaxel in Patients With Advanced Malignancies

RATIONALE: Drugs such as SU5416 may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining SU5416 with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining SU5416 and paclitaxel in treating patients who have advanced cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of SU5416 when combined with paclitaxel in patients with advanced malignancies.
  • Determine the toxicities and pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the effects of this regimen on a variety of histological and molecular biomarkers of angiogenesis, including in vitro activity assays of endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of SU5416.

Patients receive SU5416 IV over 1 hour twice weekly during the first week. During subsequent courses, SU5416 is administered on days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, 22, and 25. Paclitaxel begins on the second week of therapy and is administered IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of SU5416 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.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 24 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-18 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing paclitaxel and semaxanib in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by City of Hope Medical Center at 3 sites 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 13 Jan 2010. 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 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 13 Jan 2010.
