About this study

Official title: A Non-Randomised, Multicentre, Phase II Clinical Study of CP-4055 in Chemotherapy-Naïve Patients With Metastatic Malignant Melanoma

Previously untreated patients with malignant melanoma receive a new chemotherapy drug currently under development. CP-4055 is given intravenously on days 1-5 every four weeks until complete response or disease progression.

Read the detailed description

This is an international multicentre phase II clinical study conducted in the USA and Europe. Previously untreated patients over 18 years, with metastatic malignant melanoma are eligible for inclusion if they fulfil all inclusion- and exclusion criteria. 16 or 42 patients will be enrolled in Pittsburgh USA, Lund Sweden and Oslo Norway.

The new development drug CP-4055 is administered for five consecutive days (Day 1 to 5) in a 4 week schedule (one cycle). The dose is 200 mg/m2/day.

A patient will continue treatment until complete response or until (s)he is withdrawn from the Clinical Study because of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or any other reason described in the clinical study protocol.

Efficacy is assessed at baseline and end of every second cycle with CT or MRI.

Safety assessments are done at each visit. Blood samples are taken and haematological and biochemical parameters are assessed for safety.

Any adverse events are recorded and reported.

The clinical study has been approved by the relevant Independent Ethical Committees/Institutional Review Boards and Concerned Regulatory Authority as appropriate. It is conducted according to ICH Good Clinical Practice, the Declaration of Helsinki, and applicable national law and regulations.

Patients who give an additional consent will have two additional, and not mandatory, procedures performed:

  • Biopsy (tissue sample) from particular tumours (taken only at baseline for identification of tumour genes)
  • Serum samples (from blood drawn at baseline and at end of the cycle 2 for protein sequences analyses, proteomics)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CP-4055 (ELACYT) in people with Malignant Melanoma and Neoplasm Metastasis, run by Clavis Pharma at 3 sites in 3 countries.

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 16 inclusion and 15 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 10 Jul 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States, Norway, Sweden. 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?

Objective tumour response. 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 10 Jul 2007.
