About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of EMD 121974 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of EMD 121974 in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors. EMD 121974 may slow the growth of solid tumors by stopping blood flow to the tumor

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the toxic effects and maximum tolerated dose of EMD 121974 in patients with advanced solid tumors.

II. Determine the biologic activity of this drug in these patients. III. Determine the pharmacokinetic profile and plasma biological effects of this drug and identify any relationship with its biologic activity or observed toxicity in these patients.

IV. Determine, preliminarily, the antitumor efficacy of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive EMD 121974 IV over 1 hour twice weekly. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-10 patients receive escalating doses of EMD 121974 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.

Being tested
cilengitide, pharmacological study, laboratory biomarker analysis

What is being measured

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

  1. MTD of cilengitide defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

    Graded according to the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria version 2.0.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Toxic effects of cilengitide described as an adverse event that has an attribution of possibly, probably or definitely related to investigational treatment

    Graded according to the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria version 2.0.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  3. Biological activity of this regimen

    Measured buy TUNEL assay, CD31 immunohistochemistry, dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, and FDG-PET scan.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Pharmacokinetics of cilengitide

    Measured: At 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 8.0, and 24.0 hours post-end-of-infusion on day 1 of course 1

  2. Observation of response consisting of complete response, partial response, or stable disease, evaluated using the RECIST criteria

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  3. Time to progression

    Measured: Up to 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing cilengitide, pharmacological study and laboratory biomarker analysis 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 39 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 25 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?

MTD of cilengitide defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. (time frame: 4 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 25 Jan 2013.
