About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Trial of Amplimexon® (Imexon, Inj.) Plus Taxotere® (Docetaxel) in Previously Treated Inoperable Stage III and Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), Locally Advanced or Metastatic Previously Treated Breast Cancer or Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer

Protocol AMP-010 is a Phase 1b study of imexon plus docetaxel for patients with previously treated breast cancer, previously treated lung cancer or hormone refractory prostate cancer. Docetaxel is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a second line therapy for these cancers. The imexon is administered on days 1-5 and the docetaxel on day 1 of every 3 week cycle. The objective of the protocol is to determine the highest dose of imexon which can be given with a full dose of docetaxel, and to provide information to enable the design of a future study focused on one or more specific cancer types.

Being tested
imexon, docetaxel

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the tolerability

    Measured: duration of study

  2. determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD)

    Measured: duration of study

  3. determine the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of increasing doses of imexon in combination with standard doses of docetaxel

    Measured: duration of study

  4. correlate changes in plasma glutathione (GSH) levels with imexon dose levels

    Measured: cycle 1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Record any objective tumor responses which may occur

    Measured: duration of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing imexon and docetaxel in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Breast Cancer, run by AmpliMed Corporation 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 1 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 24 Jun 2015. 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 the tolerability (time frame: duration of study). The study lists 4 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 NCT00327288, 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 24 Jun 2015.
