About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial Of The Epothilone B Analog BMS-247550 (NSC 710428D) In Patients With Hepatobiliary Cancer

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of BMS-247550 in treating patients who have liver or gallbladder cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the objective response rate of patients with hepatobiliary cancer treated with BMS-247550.

II. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients. III. Determine the duration of response, median and overall survival, and time to progression in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive BMS-247550 IV over 3 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 6 weeks until disease progression

Being tested
ixabepilone, laboratory biomarker analysis
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Hepatocellular, Bile Duct Neoplasms, Gallbladder Neoplasms

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective response rate (partial or complete response) evaluated by RECIST

    A 10% response rate precludes further study whereas a 25% response rate would indicate that further study is warranted.

    Measured: Up to 8 years

  2. Frequency and extent of cytotoxic activity graded according to the NCI CTC Version 2.0

    Measured: Up to 8 years

  3. Time to disease progression

    Will also be evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator.

    Measured: From the first day of treatment until the date PD or death is first reported, assessed up to 8 years

  4. Overall survival

    Will also be evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator.

    Measured: From the time measurement criteria are met for CR/PR (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that PD is objectively documented, assessed up to 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ixabepilone and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Adult Primary Cholangiocellular Carcinoma and Adult Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma, 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 44 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 14 May 2014. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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. 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?

Objective response rate (partial or complete response) evaluated by RECIST (time frame: Up to 8 years). 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 14 May 2014.
