About this study

Official title: A Phase I Clinical And Pharmacological Study Of Pyroxamide (NSC 696085) In Patients With Advanced Malignancies

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of pyroxamide in treating patients who have advanced cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of pyroxamide in patients with advanced malignancies.
  • Define, qualitatively and quantitatively, the dose-limiting and non-dose-limiting toxic effects of this drug in these patients.
  • Describe the pharmacologic behavior of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive pyroxamide IV continuously over 5-7 days. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of pyroxamide 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 monthly for resolution of adverse events.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 32 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing pyroxamide in people with Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders and Leukemia, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 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.

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 5 Jun 2013.
