About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Phase I Safety and Tolerability Study of the Oncolux System for Intratumoral Delivery of Non-Coherent Light for the Photoactivation of LS 11 in Patients With Refractory Solid Tumors

This multi-center photodynamic therapy study plans to treat patients with large tumors in any superficial location, sarcoma, tumors of oral/oro-pharyngeal cavity, tumors with extensive pelvic involvement, or liver metastasis. The treatment is limited to patients that have failed to respond to currently approved methods of treatment. The study involves a single, intravenous administration of an investigational drug, LS11 (previously studied in approximately 80 cancer patients) and the placement of a novel, flexible light delivery catheter inside the tumor by a minor surgical procedure. The activation of LS11 by the light delivery catheter over a period of 1-24 hrs may result in destruction of tumor tissue.

Read the detailed description

In this Phase I photodynamic therapy study, patients will undergo a standard CT scan to determine the suitability of the treatment. In those patients that qualify the entry criteria, a light delivery catheter will be directly inserted in the tumor through a minor surgical procedure. The patients will then be injected with the photosensitive drug, LS11. One hour following the drug injection, light energy will be delivered from the light delivery catheter for a period of 1-24 hours. The duration of the light treatment for a given patient may be based on various factors including when a given patient enters the study. Following the delivery of light energy, the light delivery catheter will be removed from the tumor. The insertion and removal of the catheter will be carried out under the guidance of CT scan. The patients will be asked to take precautions from external light exposure for a period of time. The patients will undergo CT scan and other tests on days 7, 14 and 42 to evaluate safety of the treatment, tumor cell death and treatment response. Blood samples will be taken at different time points to examine the clearance of the drug from the body.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing LS 11(Taporfin Sodium) and Lumaflex Light Delivery Catheter in people with Liver Metastasis and Pelvic Cancer, run by Light Sciences LLC at 6 sites 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 0 inclusion and 7 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 24 Jun 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00028405, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 24 Jun 2005.
