About this study

Official title: IMP321 Phase 1 Study in Advanced or Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients (P003)

Single-center, open label, non-randomized, fixed dose-escalation, phase 1 study, performed in ambulatory and day-hospital setting

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, single-arm, open label, non-randomized, fixed dose-escalation, phase 1 study, performed in ambulatory and day-hospital setting. After a screening period, patients will enter a drug administration period, followed by a 'post-study' period.

Four IMP321 dose levels, 50 µg, 250 µg, 1.250 mg, 6.250 mg and 30 mg will be evaluated in successive cohorts of patients. At any given dose level 3 patients will be administered one subcutaneous dose every 2 weeks for a total of 12 weeks (6 injections in total), separated by 13-day administration-free intervals.

The next (higher) dose level will be dosed to 3 new patients if the previous dose level has been well tolerated. Investigator will decide whether the safety is acceptable by performing an evaluation after the third administration (at week 8) and if the next patients can be included.

The successive cohorts of patients are summarized as follows:

  • Cohort A will correspond to a group of 3 patients receiving the 50 µg dose. If safety at this dose level is acceptable as evaluated a fortnight after the 6-week administration, the following cohort will be undertaken.
  • Cohort B will correspond to a group of 3 patients receiving the 250 µg dose. If safety at this dose level is acceptable as evaluated a fortnight after the 6-week administration, the following cohort will be undertaken.
  • Cohort C will correspond to a group of 3 patients receiving the 1,250 µg dose. If safety at this dose level is acceptable as evaluated a fortnight after the 6-week administration, the following cohort will be undertaken.
  • Cohort D will correspond to a group of 3 patients receiving the 1,250 µg dose. If safety at this dose level is acceptable as evaluated a fortnight after the 6-week administration, the following cohort will be undertaken.
  • Cohort E will correspond to a group of 3 patients receiving the 6,250 µg dose. The patients will receive their first administration one-by-one with a two-weeks interval. If safety at this dose level is acceptable as evaluated a fortnight after the 6-week administration for the last patient, the following cohort will be undertaken.
  • Cohort F will correspond to a group of 3 patients receiving the 6,250 µg dose. If the tolerability of this dose level has been judged acceptable in cohort E, the three patients will receive their first IMP321 injection simultaneously.
  • Cohort G will correspond to a group of 3 patients receiving the 30,000 µg dose. The patients will receive their first IMP321 administration one-by-one with a two-weeks interval (+/- 5 days). If safety at this dose level is acceptable as evaluated a fortnight after the 6-week administration for the last patient, the following cohort will be undertaken.
  • Cohort H will correspond to a group of 3 patients receiving the 30,000 µg dose. If the tolerability of this dose level has been judged acceptable in cohort E, the three patients will receive their first IMP321 injection simultaneously.

Once the main period of study has been completed, namely two weeks after a cohort is completed, i.e. at week 14, all patients will undergo an ambulatory 'post-study' examination.

Patients of the Cohort B, C, E, F and G will participate in a pharmacokinetic (PK) study and all patients in a pharmacodynamic (PD) study involving additional blood samples.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing IMP321 in people with Stage IV Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Immutep S.A.S. at 1 site in France.

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 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 7 Jan 2010. 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 France. 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?

Evaluate clinical and laboratory safety and tolerability profiles (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 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 NCT00351949, 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 7 Jan 2010.
