Trial summary

The goals of this clinical research study are to see how individuals with advanced head and neck cancer respond to treatment with the new drug thrombospondin (ABT-510) and to learn how effective it is in destroying cancer cells. The safety of ABT-510 and the effect ABT-510 has on cells in the body will also be studied. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b/2 Study of ABT-510 (Thrombospondin Analogue) in Patients With Advanced Head and Neck Cancer

The goals of this clinical research study are to see how individuals with advanced head and neck cancer respond to treatment with the new drug thrombospondin (ABT-510) and to learn how effective it is in destroying cancer cells. The safety of ABT-510 and the effect ABT-510 has on cells in the body will also be studied.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase Ib/II, single-center, open-label study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and biologic efficacy of ABT-510 (thrombospondin). Participants will be patients with incurable head and neck cancer.

Patients will begin at a fixed dose level of thrombospondin subcutaneously twice daily. Cycles of treatment are 28 days (4 weeks). Patients will be treated with thrombospondin until progression of tumor or toxicity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate

    Response rate defined as percentage of number of complete response or partial response in total number of participants treated. Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST): Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR): >30% decrease in sum longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, reference baseline sum LD; Progressive Disease (PD): >20% increase in sum LD of target lesions, reference smallest sum LD recorded since treatment started or appearance of 1/> new lesions; Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage for PR nor sufficient increase for PD, reference smallest sum LD. Trial conducted by Simon's optimal two-stage design and response rate estimated accordingly. For status of PR or CR, changes in tumor measurements confirmed by repeat assessments performed at 6 weeks, no less than 4 weeks after criteria for response is first met.

    Measured: Baseline to 6 weeks for PR or CR response assessment (minimal 4 week cycle + assessments). Overall study period 3 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ABT-510 in people with Head and Neck Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson 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?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 11 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 Aug 2014. 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 combined 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Jun 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 (time frame: Baseline to 6 weeks for PR or CR response assessment (minimal 4 week cycle + assessments). Overall study period 3 years.). 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 Aug 2014.
