About this study

Official title: Phase I Evaluation of the Safety of PS 341 in the Treatment of Recurrent Gliomas

Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of bortezomib in treating patients who have recurrent glioma. Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of bortezomib with or without anticonvulsant drugs known to be metabolized by the P450 hepatic enzyme complex in patients with recurrent glioma.

II. Determine the biologic activity of this drug by measuring proteasome 20S activity in these patients.

III. Determine the effects of hepatic enzyme-inducing drugs, such as anticonvulsants, on biologic activity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to concurrent anticonvulsant drug use (phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, primidone, or felbamate vs gabapentin, lamotrigine, valproic acid, or no anticonvulsant drugs).

Patients receive bortezomib IV over 3-5 seconds twice weekly for 2 weeks. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of bortezomib until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, 10 additional patients are treated with bortezomib at the MTD. Patients are followed every 2 months.

Receives: Drug: bortezomib

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum tolerated dose of bortezomib defined as the dose level below that at which > 1 of 3-6 patients experience DLT

    Graded using the CTC version 2.0.

    Measured: 3 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Biological effectiveness estimated using 20S proteosome activity

    Simple descriptive measures will be used to examine the association between biological effect and the probability of toxicity and response.

    Measured: Up to 6 years

  2. Frequency of toxicity, graded using the CTC version 2.0

    The proportion of patients with serious or life threatening toxicities will be estimated along with 95% confidence intervals.

    Measured: Up to 6 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing bortezomib in people with Adult Anaplastic Astrocytoma and Adult Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma, 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?

The sponsor lists 22 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. 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 24 Jan 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 was stopped early (reason given: Administratively complete.). 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?

Maximum tolerated dose of bortezomib defined as the dose level below that at which > 1 of 3-6 patients experience DLT (time frame: 3 weeks). 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 24 Jan 2013.
