About this study

Official title: Treament of Spontaneous Tumor Metastases With IL-12 DNA (NSC #709933): A Phase IB Trial

RATIONALE: Inserting the gene for interleukin-12 into a person's skin tumor cells may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-12 gene therapy in treating patients who have skin metastases.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the safety and toxicity of interleukin-12 gene in patients with spontaneous skin metastases.
  • Determine the antitumor immune response in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Compare the toxicity of this regimen administered for 1 week vs 2 weeks in these patients.
  • Compare the local and systemic antitumor response in patients treated with this regimen administered for 1 week vs 2 weeks.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to number of tumor sites (1 vs 2 vs 3 or more). Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Group A: Patients receive interleukin-12 gene intratumorally over 5 minutes on days 1, 3, and 5.
  • Group B: Patients receive IL-12 gene intratumorally over 5 minutes on days 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 12.

Patients with stable or responding disease may receive 1 subsequent course beginning on day 29.

Patients are followed at 3, 6, and 12 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12 patients (6 per treatment group) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing interleukin-12 gene in people with Metastatic Cancer, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2019. 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 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.

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 13 Dec 2019.
