  • Patients known to be HIV positive or who have an AIDS-related illness.
  • Patients with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding from varices, arteriovenous malformations, Osler Weber Rendu syndrome, polyps, prior surgery, or gastric ulcerations. Patients who had bleeding not associated with a coagulopathy after surgery or gastric ulceration and who have no further bleeding or recurrence of their ulcers for more than one year are eligible for this study.
  • Patients with a total accumulated doxorubicin or equivalent dose over 450 mg/m2.
  • Patients with more than 1 risk factor, where a risk factor is defined as any one of the following (1-7):1. prior anthracyclines larger than 300 mg/m2 doxorubicin equivalent.2.mediastinum/left breast irradiation. 3.history of arterial hypertension (systolic blood pressure greater than 140 or diastolic blood pressure greater than 90, or receiving anti-hypertensive treatment).4. obesity (body mass index (BMI)[30]).5. diabetes mellitus (fasting plasma glucose level greater than 126 mg/dL American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines).6. smoking (any smoking in the month prior to study entry).7. hypercholesterolemia (greater than 240 mg/dL).

About this study

Official title: A Phase I and Pharmacokinetic Study of NM-3 Administered Orally Once or Twice Daily on Five Consecutive Days and Repeated Weekly for Six Weeks Every Eight Weeks in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors.

A study for patients who have failed standard therapy. If there is no dose limiting toxicities the patients will receive further cycles of therapy if there is no evidence of disease progression.

Read the detailed description

This is a non-randomized, open-label, Phase I study. A modified Fibonacci dose escalation will be used to determine the MTD for subsequent Phase II trials. Study duration is expected to be 12 to 18 months. Patients with a histological or cytological diagnosis of a solid tumor who have failed standard therapy or for whom no standard therapy exists are enrolled. If there is no dose limiting toxicities and if patients meet the inclusion criteria and have none of the exclusion criteria of the protocol, they will receive further cycles of therapy if there is no evidence of disease progression.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • NM-3Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. MTD of NM-3 is the dose at which less than or equal to 1 of 6 patients experiences a DLT

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Anti-tumor activity

  2. VEGF and bFGF in urine, plasma and serum

  3. Circulating endothelial cells

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing NM-3 in people with Neoplasms, run by Genzyme, a Sanofi Company 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 15 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 20 May 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 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?

MTD of NM-3 is the dose at which less than or equal to 1 of 6 patients experiences a DLT. 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 20 May 2015.
