About this study

Official title: Phase I Trial of 4'-IODO-4'-Deoxydoxorubicin in Primary Amyloidosis (AL)

Iododoxorubicin may dissolve protein deposits and be an effective treatment for primary systemic amyloidosis. Phase I trial to determine the effectiveness of iododoxorubicin in treating patients who have primary systemic amyloidosis

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of iododoxorubicin in patients with primary systemic amyloidosis.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the safety, especially cardiac safety, of this drug in these patients.

II. Determine the survival rate of patients treated with this drug. III. Determine, preliminarily, the clinical efficacy of this drug in these patients.

IV. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive iododoxorubicin IV over 15 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Treatment repeats every 12 weeks for a total of 4 courses or a cumulative dose of 400 mg/m^2 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of iododoxorubicin 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 at 3 months.

Being tested
4'-iodo-4'-deoxydoxorubicin, pharmacological study

What is being measured

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

  1. MTD of IDOX defined as the highest safely-tolerated dose where =< 1 patient experiences DLT with the next higher dose having at least 2 patients who experience DLT

    The number and severity of toxicity incidents will indicate the level of tolerance of IDOX in the treatment of primary amyloidosis. Non-hematologic toxicities will be evaluated via the ordinal CTC standard toxicity grading. Hematologic toxicity measures of thrombocytopenia, neutropenia and leukopenia will be assessed using continuous variables as the outcome measures (primarily nadir and percent change from baseline values) as well as categorization via CTC standard toxicity grading.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Laboratory correlates

    Descriptive statistics and simple scatterplots will form the basis of presentation of these data. Correlations between these laboratory values and other outcome measures will be carried out by standard parametric and non-parametric correlation procedures (Pearson's and Spearman's coefficients). Prerequisite normality testing of these data will be carried out via standard Shapiro and Wilk (25) testing.

    Measured: Up to 3 months post treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 4'-iodo-4'-deoxydoxorubicin and pharmacological study in people with Primary Systemic Amyloidosis, 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 42 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 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 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 (reason given: Administratively complete.). 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?

MTD of IDOX defined as the highest safely-tolerated dose where =< 1 patient experiences DLT with the next higher dose having at least 2 patients who experience DLT (time frame: 12 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.
