Trial summary

This is a dose escalation study. Patients will be enrolled in cohorts of three patients each, and escalation of dose to the next cohort will be determined based on dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in the previous cohort. This study aims to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intravenous L-NDDP. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Multi-Center, Dose Escalation and Pharmacokinetic Study of L-NDDP (Aroplatin) in Patients With Advanced Solid Malignancies or B-Cell Lymphoma

This is a dose escalation study. Patients will be enrolled in cohorts of three patients each, and escalation of dose to the next cohort will be determined based on dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in the previous cohort. This study aims to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intravenous L-NDDP. Once the MTD has been determined, an additional four patients will be enrolled at that dose level. While the MTD is determined based on safety data from each cohort's first cycle of L-NDDP therapy only, patients may continue treatment with additional cycles of L-NDDP at the same dose as their starting dose until documented progression, unacceptable toxicity, or another off study criterion is met. Patients who have not met any of the off study criteria and continue to receive L-NDDP therapy at the time when MTD is determined may be allowed to change L-NDDP dose to the MTD dose level. The study will also determine the pharmacokinetic profile of L-NDDP administration. Clinical activity of L-NDDP in solid tumor patients will be assessed as tumor response using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Clinical activity of L-NDDP in B-cell lymphoma patients will be assessed using the International Working Group recommendations.

Read the detailed description

This is a dose escalation study that utilizes a constant incremental dose increase of 50 mg/m2 per cohort. Patients will be enrolled in cohorts of three patients each, and escalation of dose to the next cohort will be determined based on dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in the previous cohort. DLT is defined as any adverse event (AE) of severity grade 3, 4 or 5 (including serious or life-threatening) considered possibly, probably or definitely related to L-NDDP (CTCAE v3.0), which occurs during cycle 1, excluding those events that occur and are completely resolved within 4-6 hours of the first dose of L-NDDP (infusion-related reactions). This study also aims to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intravenous L-NDDP, defined as the dose level at which no more than one out of six patients has any DLT. Once the MTD has been determined, an additional four patients will be enrolled at that dose level (for a total of 10 patients at the MTD dose level). While the MTD is determined based on safety data from each cohort's first cycle of L-NDDP therapy only, patients may continue treatment with additional cycles of L-NDDP at the same dose as their starting dose until documented progression, unacceptable toxicity or another off study criterion is met. Patients who have not met any of the off study criteria and continue to receive L-NDDP therapy at the time when MTD is determined may be allowed to change L-NDDP dose to the MTD dose level. The study will also determine the pharmacokinetic profile of L-NDDP administration through whole blood, plasma, and urine samples drawn before, during, and after L-NDDP administration. Clinical activity of L-NDDP in solid tumor patients will be assessed as tumor response using the RECIST criteria. Clinical activity of L-NDDP in B-Cell lymphoma patients will be assessed using the International Working Group Recommendations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Aroplatin in people with Malignancies and B-Cell Lymphoma, run by Agenus Inc. at 2 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 15 inclusion and 8 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 27 Oct 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 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 the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity of L-NDDP. 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?
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 27 Oct 2008.
