About this study

Official title: Phase 1-2a Dose-Ranging Study of TLK199 Tablets in Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of TLK199 Tablets in patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)

Read the detailed description

This Phase 1-2a study is an open label, dose-ranging study of TLK199 Tablets in patients with all World Health Organization or French-American-British classification types of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). In Phase 1, the safety, pharmacokinetics, and hematologic response rate with TLK199 Tablets will be evaluated. The Phase 1 dose-ranging stage is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose or optimal biologic dose of TLK199 Tablets. Evaluation of the pharmacokinetics of TLK199 Tablets will be conducted. In Phase 1, an additional 12 patients will undergo pharmacokinetic evaluation under fed conditions at the selected Phase 2a dose. In Phase 2a, further safety and hematologic responses by the modified International Working Group MDS response criteria will be studied.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Ezatiostat Hydrochlorine in people with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), run by Telik at 3 sites 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 31 May 2012. 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. 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 combined 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.

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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose or Optimal Biologic Dose (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT00280631, 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 31 May 2012.
