About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study Of PS-341 In Pediatric Patients With Refractory Solid Tumors

Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of bortezomib in treating children who have advanced solid tumors that have not responded to previous treatment.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of bortezomib in pediatric patients with refractory solid tumors.

II. Determine the dose-limiting toxicity and other toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.

III. Preliminarily determine the antitumor activity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive bortezomib IV on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Courses repeat every 21 days 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. If dose-limiting toxicity in the form of myelosuppression occurs in stratum I, dose escalation continues with patients meeting the qualifications for stratum II.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 24-36 patients will be accrued for this study.

Being tested
bortezomib, laboratory biomarker analysis, pharmacological study

What is being measured

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

  1. MTD defined as the dose at which fewer than 20% of patients experience DLT assessed using CTC version 2.0

    Measured: 3 weeks

  2. 20S proteasome inhibition

    The 95% confidence interval for the percent of patients who exhibit inhibition at a recommended dose level determined according to the table above is 61%-100%, if six patients are evaluated or 55%-100% if five patients are evaluated.

    Measured: Up to 2 weeks

  3. Progression free survival

    Measured: Up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing bortezomib, laboratory biomarker analysis and pharmacological study in people with Unspecified Childhood 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 41 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2015. 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?

MTD defined as the dose at which fewer than 20% of patients experience DLT assessed using CTC version 2.0 (time frame: 3 weeks). The study lists 3 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 15 Apr 2015.
