Trial summary

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of decitabine in treating patients with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to previous treatment.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study Of The Toxicities, Biologic And Clinical Effects Of Daily 5 Aza 2'Deoxycytidine (DAC), NSC 127716 (IND 50733) For Four Weeks In Patients With Advanced Malignancies

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of decitabine in treating patients with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to previous treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of decitabine in patients with advanced solid tumors.

II. Determine the toxic effects of this drug in these patients. III. Determine the dose of this drug with biologic activity in these patients. IV. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients. V. Determine clinical response to this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study.

Patients receive decitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1-5 weekly for 4 weeks. Courses repeat every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of decitabine until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed at 2 weeks.

Being tested
decitabine, pharmacological study, laboratory biomarker analysis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing decitabine, pharmacological study and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Male Breast Cancer and Recurrent Bladder Cancer, 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 32 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Feb 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 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?

Maximum tolerated dose determined by dose-limiting toxicities graded according to CTC 2.0 toxicity criteria (time frame: 6 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 7 Feb 2013.
