About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Gleevec (Imatinib Mesylate, NSC 716051 Formerly STI571) in Children With Refractory or Relapsed Solid Tumors

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of imatinib mesylate in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory solid tumors of childhood. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the response rate of patients with relapsed or refractory pediatric solid tumors treated with imatinib mesylate.

II. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients. III. Determine the time to progression in patients treated with this drug. IV. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients. V. Correlate response with c-kit and platelet-derived growth factor receptor expression in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to disease (Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor vs osteosarcoma vs neuroblastoma vs other).

Patients receive oral imatinib mesylate once or twice daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Being tested
imatinib mesylate, laboratory biomarker analysis, pharmacological study
Medical subject headings

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing imatinib mesylate, laboratory biomarker analysis and pharmacological study in people with Childhood Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor and Childhood Synovial Sarcoma, 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 50 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 15 Apr 2015. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Response rate, determined using the RECIST criteria (time frame: Up to 2 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Apr 2015.
