Who cannot join

  • Any of the following:

  • Biologic therapy =< 4 weeks prior to study entry
  • Radiation therapy =< 4 weeks prior to study entry
  • Failure to fully recover from adverse effects of prior therapies regardless of interval since last treatment
Show all 29Show fewer
  • Other concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, or any other therapy or supportive care considered investigational
  • Known brain metastases requiring active treatment; NOTE: these patients are excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to PS-341
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to:
  • Ongoing or active infection
  • Symptomatic congestive heart failure
  • Unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia
  • Psychiatric illness that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • HIV-positive patients receiving combination anti-retroviral therapy; NOTE: patients with immune deficiency are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy; these patients are excluded from the study because of possible pharmacokinetic interactions with PS-341; appropriate studies will be undertaken in patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when indicated
  • Any of the following:
  • Pregnant women
  • Nursing women
  • Men or women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception (condoms, diaphragm, birth control pills, injections, subcutaneous implants, intrauterine device [IUD], abstinence, etc.)
  • NOTE: this study involves an investigational agent whose genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects on the developing fetus and newborn are unknown
  • Only non-measurable disease, including lesions not clearly measurable in one dimension, small lesions (longest diameter < 20 mm), and truly non-measurable lesions, which include the following as per RECIST criteria:
  • Bone lesions
  • Leptomeningeal disease
  • Ascites
  • Pleural/pericardial effusion
  • Inflammatory breast disease
  • Lymphangitis cutis/pulmonis
  • Abdominal masses that are not confirmed and followed by imaging techniques
  • Cystic lesions

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of PS-341 in the Treatment of Metastatic Malignant Melanoma

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of PS-341 in treating patients who have metastatic malignant melanoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the progression-free survival at 18 weeks and overall survival of patients with metastatic malignant melanoma treated with PS-341.

II. Determine the objective response rate of patients treated with this drug. III. Correlate p27 levels in tumor tissue with objective response rate in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive PS-341 IV over 3-5 seconds on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3-6 months for up to 2 years after registration.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 22-50 patients will be accrued for this study within 12 months.

Being tested
bortezomib, laboratory biomarker analysis

Receives: Drug: bortezomib; Other: laboratory biomarker analysis

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients who are progression-free

    Confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated.

    Measured: 18 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Objective response is defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) in terms of tumor/lesion size and change

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Overall survival

    The distribution of survival time will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: Time from registration to death due to any cause, assessed up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bortezomib and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Recurrent Melanoma and Stage IV Melanoma, 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 10 inclusion and 29 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 16 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 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 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?

Proportion of patients who are progression-free (time frame: 18 weeks). 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 16 Jan 2013.
