About this study

Official title: Phase I Clinical and Pharmacokinetic Trial of Intra-Peritoneal Irinotecan

This is a research study for patients that have an advanced cancer that is confined mostly to the abdominal cavity and have failed treatment with conventional therapy, or for which no standard treatment exists. The purpose of this study is to determine the dose of a chemotherapy drug (called irinotecan) that can be administered safely into the abdominal cavity. We also wish to identify the side effects of irinotecan when it is administered directly into the abdomen. In this study, we will also determine the levels of irinotecan in the blood and in the abdominal cavity.

Irinotecan is a chemotherapy drug that can decrease the size of several different tumors. It is approved by the FDA for the treatment of colon cancer. It appears that some other chemotherapy drugs are more effective and may have less side effects when they are administered directly into the abdomen.

    Measured: One day

  2. To determine the toxicity profile of intra-peritoneal irinotecan.

    Measured: 30 days after patient receives last dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing irinotecan in people with Adenocarcinoma and Gastric Cancer, run by University of Southern California 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 3 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 22 May 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 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?

To establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of irinotecan when administered by an intra-peritoneal route every three weeks. (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 22 May 2014.
