About this study

Official title: A Randomized Open-Labeled Phase II Study of Combretastatin A-4 Phosphate in Combination With Paclitaxel and Carboplatin to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy in Subjects With Advanced Imageable Malignancies

This is a study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of Combretastatin A4 Phosphate (CA4P) combined with the chemotherapy drugs, carboplatin and paclitaxel. The full treatment and observation time should be about 5 months. During this time the patient should receive 18 CA4P infusions and 6 carboplatin followed by paclitaxel treatments. Patients will be randomized into one of two CA4P dose-level groups in order to recommend a preferred dose-level for future studies. At least 2 dynamic contrast enhanced-magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) scans will be conducted to monitor the blood flow through the tumor before and after treatment with CA4P.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase II study evaluating the safety and efficacy of Combretastatin A4 Phosphate (CA4P) combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel. Treatment is for a maximum of 6 consecutive 21-day cycles. Patients are randomized onto one of two CA4P dosing arms (45 or 63 mg/m2). CA4P is administered on days 1, 8 and 15 of each cycle. Carboplatin and paclitaxel (AUC 6 and 200 mg/m2, respectively) are administered on day 2 of each cycle. At least 2 DCE-MRI scans will be performed to evaluate the change in tumor blood flow following treatment with CA4P.

What participants receive

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

  • Combretastatin A-4 Phosphate + Paclitaxel + CarboplatinDrug

    Also called CA4P, fosbretabulin, paclitaxel, carboplatin

    Combretastatin A-4 Phosphate is administered IV at 45 mg/m2 or 60 mg/m2 on Days 1, 8 and 15 followed by paclitaxel (3 hour infusion at 200 mg/m2) and carboplatin (1 hour infusion at AUC = 6) on Day 2 of each cycle. The treatment cycle is 21 days with a maximum of 21 days. Following cycle 6, subjects that have not progressed may continue on CA4P monotherapy, which will be administered at 45 mg/m2 or 60 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 8 with rest on Day 15, repeated every 21 days until disease progression.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess safety of the CA4P-paclitaxel-carboplatin combination in advanced imageable malignancies

    Measured: From first administration of study drug through approximately 30 days following last dose of study drug

  2. To evaluate tumor response

    Measured: From baseline through end of study visit

  3. To establish the Recommended Phase II Dose (RP3D) for the combination of CA4P-paclitaxel-carboplatin in advanced imageable malignancies

    Measured: from first study drug administration through end of study visit

  4. To assess the change in tumor blood flow by use of MRI in advanced imageable malignancies

    Measured: from screening through end of study visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Combretastatin A-4 Phosphate + Paclitaxel + Carboplatin in people with Cancer and Tumor, run by Mateon 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 6 inclusion and 5 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 1 Nov 2011. 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?

To assess safety of the CA4P-paclitaxel-carboplatin combination in advanced imageable malignancies (time frame: From first administration of study drug through approximately 30 days following last dose of study drug). The study lists 4 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 1 Nov 2011.
