About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial of KRN5500 (NSC 650426) Given as a 72 Hour Continuous IV Infusion Every 21 Days in Patients With Solid Tumors

Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of KRN5500 in treating patients who have solid tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as KRN5500, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To establish the MTD and identify the DLTs of the investigational agent KRN5500 when administered by a 72-hr continuous i.v. infusion to patients with solid tumors who have failed standard therapy or for whom no standard therapy exists.

II. To establish and assess the safety of an appropriate dose for phase II studies.

III. To characterize the pharmacokinetics of KRN5500 in patients when administered by a 72 hr continuous IV infusion.

IV. To characterize the response to KRN5500 by FLT-PET scanning at the MTD.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To describe any preliminary evidence of antitumor activity. II. Establish pharmacodynamic relationships for the pharmacological effect of the drug upon surrogate markers of activity and host toxicity.

III. To compare the toxicity profiles for the 1 hr i.v. infusion and 72 hr continuous i.v. infusion administration schedules.

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

Patients receive KRN5500 IV over 24-72 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 1-3 patients receive KRN5500 at the starting dose over escalating infusion durations. After the longest duration of infusion time is safely reached, cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of KRN5500 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, additional patients are accrued to receive treatment with KRN5500 at the recommended phase II dose.

Patients are followed every 4 weeks until resolution of all toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-40 patients will be accrued for this study within 9-12 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximally tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) of KRN5500, based on the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI CTC) v2.0

    Measured: Up to 21 days

  2. Grade 2 or greater toxic effects, based on the NCI CTC v2.0

    Measured: Up to 1 month after last course of study treatment

  3. Plasma concentration-time levels of KRN5500 as determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization mass spectrometric detection

    Analyzed by noncompartmental methods and/or nonlinear least squares regression using WinNonlin (Scientific Consulting, Inc.).

    Measured: Up to 21 days

  4. Response to KRN5500 by fluorothymidine-positron emission tomography (FLT-PET) scanning at the MTD in patients with measurable disease

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Antitumor activity

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  2. Pharmacodynamic relationships for the pharmacological effect of the drug upon surrogate markers of activity and host toxicity

    Measured: Up to 21 days

  3. Comparison among the toxicity profiles between the 1 hr i.v. infusion and 72 hr continuous i.v. infusion administration schedules

    Measured: Up to 1 month after last course of study treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing KRN5500 and pharmacological study 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?

The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 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 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximally tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) of KRN5500, based on the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI CTC) v2.0 (time frame: Up to 21 days). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 11 Jan 2013.
