Trial summary

CPT-11 and 5Fluorouracil (5FU) combined with leucovorin has become the standard of care for colorectal cancer. PN401 permits treatment with higher than normal doses of 5FU, which could increase its therapeutic potential. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Escalating Doses of CPT-11 and 5fluorouracil (5FU) Plus PN401 With a Fixed Dose of Leucovorin in Patients With Solid Tumor Malignancies.

CPT-11 and 5Fluorouracil (5FU) combined with leucovorin has become the standard of care for colorectal cancer. PN401 permits treatment with higher than normal doses of 5FU, which could increase its therapeutic potential. It is hypothesized that adding PN401 to the CPT-11, 5FU, leucovorin regimen will reduce toxicity and will allow higher doses of 5FU to be well tolerated and therefore potentially increase effectiveness.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing triacetyluridine, fluorouracil and leucovorin in people with Solid Tumors, run by Wellstat Therapeutics 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 11 inclusion and 9 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 24 Jun 2005. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and Maximum Tolerated Dose. 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 24 Jun 2005.
