Trial summary

RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses light and drugs that make tumor cells more sensitive to light to kill tumor cells. Photosensitizing drugs such as HPPH are absorbed by tumor cells and, when exposed to light, become active and kill the tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) Using 2-(1-hexyloxyethyl)-2 Devinyl Pyropheophorbide-a (HPPH) for Treatment of Early Stage Lung Cancer - A Dose Ranging Study

RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses light and drugs that make tumor cells more sensitive to light to kill tumor cells. Photosensitizing drugs such as HPPH are absorbed by tumor cells and, when exposed to light, become active and kill the tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy with HPPH in treating patients who have non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the systemic and normal tissue toxicity of photodynamic therapy with HPPH in patients with early stage or centrally obstructing non-small cell lung cancer.
  • Determine, preliminarily, the efficacy of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of HPPH.

Patients receive HPPH IV over 1 hour on day 1. Patients undergo laser light therapy via bronchoscopy on day 3.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of HPPH 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.

Patients are followed for at least 6 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 15-17 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HPPH in people with Lung Cancer, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Mar 2011. 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.

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 7 Mar 2011.
