About this study

Official title: Phase I Trial of ATRA-IV and Depakote in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumor Malignancies

The purpose of this study is to find out the highest tolerated dose of Depakote in combination with liposome encapsulated all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA-IV) in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies.

Read the detailed description

To determine the maximum tolerated dose of Depakote in combination with liposome encapsulated all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA-IV) in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies.

This will be a 2-step dose escalation study. Once the patient starts therapy at a designated dose level, it will not be escalated for that patient. Three patients at each dose level must complete 4 weeks of therapy before escalating to the next higher level. If none of the patients experience dose limiting toxicity (DLT), then 3 new patients will be treated with the next higher dose level.

Being tested
ATRA-IV, Depakote

What participants receive

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

  • ATRA-IVDrug

  • DepakoteDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose of Depakote in combination with liposome encapsulated all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA-IV) in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies.

  2. To define the dose limiting and other toxicities of the combination therapy

  3. To determine the dosing that should be used in future safety and efficacy (Phase II) trials

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To study retinoic acid receptor expression and histone acetylation status to ascertain biologic effect on peripheral blood mononuclear cells and tissue obtained from selected patients who undergo tumor biopsies.

  2. To assess for tumor responses to combination therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ATRA-IV and Depakote in people with Solid Tumor Malignancies, run by Weill Medical College of Cornell University 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 3 inclusion and 12 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 14 Sep 2006. 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?

To determine the maximum tolerated dose of Depakote in combination with liposome encapsulated all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA-IV) in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies.. The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00195156, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Sep 2006.
