What participants receive

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

  • EtanerceptDrug

    Also called Enbrel

    7 days prior to treatment with docetaxel. Administered twice weekly throughout the study.

  • DocetaxelDrug

    Also called Taxotere

    Administered intervenously (IV) over 30 minutes through an infusion pump once a week (every 7 days). A cycle will comprise six weekly treatments followed by 2 weeks of rest.

  • DexamethasoneDrug

    Also called steriod, glucocorticoid

    Administered orally 8 mg 12 hours prior to docetaxel, immediately prior to docetaxel (two hours after etanercept), and 12 hours after docetaxel to complete a total of 3 doses (total dose 24 mg/week) on treatment weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of weekly docetaxel in combination with etanercept.

    Measured: up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Characterize toxicities of weekly docetaxel when administered weekly to patients with solid malignancies to determine if co-administration of etanercept can result in higher tolerated doses of docetaxel.

    Measured: up to 4 years

  2. Determine if weekly docetaxel administration is associated with increased expression of TNF and if inactivation of TNF by etanercept is associated with a decrease in the rate of moderate to severe asthenia.

    Measured: up to 4 years

  3. Preliminarily evaluate antitumor activity for docetaxel in combination with etanercept.

    Measured: up to 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Etanercept, Docetaxel and Dexamethasone in people with Tumors, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive 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 0 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 6 Dec 2017. 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?

Determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of weekly docetaxel in combination with etanercept. (time frame: up to 4 years). 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 NCT00201812, 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 6 Dec 2017.
