About this study

Official title: Phase I Study Of Tocladesine In Patients With Colorectal Carcinoma Following Therapy With 5-FU And Irinotecan

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of tocladesine in treating patients who have recurrent or progressive metastatic colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of tocladesine in patients with recurrent or progressive metastatic colorectal cancer.
  • Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicity of this drug in these patients.
  • Assess any therapeutic activity in patients treated with this drug.

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

Patients receive tocladesine IV continuously on days 1-5 and 8-12. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 10 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of tocladesine 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. Once the MTD is determined, up to 14 additional patients are treated at this dose level.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-38 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing tocladesine in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center 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?

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Aug 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?

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.

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 2 Aug 2013.
