Show all 14Show fewer
  • No concurrent chemotherapy, biologic therapy or radiotherapy is allowed
  • Hemoglobin = 9.0 g/dL
  • WBC = 3,500/mm3 [= 3.5 x 109/L]
  • Neutrophils = 1,500/mm3 [= 1.5 x 109/L]

Who cannot join

  • Women who are pregnant or lactating
  • Women subjects of childbearing potential who refuse to abstain from sexual intercourse or practice adequate contraception. Childbearing potential is defined as women who are not surgically sterilized (i.e. have not had a hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy [ovariectomy], or bilateral tubal ligation) or post-menopausal (i.e., documented absence of menses for one year prior to entry into the study).
  • Men unwilling to abstain from sex or use effective contraception during the study and for 3 months following completion of topotecan treatment
  • Subjects with uncontrolled emesis, regardless of etiology
  • Active infection
  • Concurrent severe medical problems unrelated to the malignancy, which would significantly limit full compliance with the study or expose the patient to extreme risk
  • Treatment with another investigational drug within 30 days or five half-lives prior to entry into the study (whichever is longer)
  • History of allergic reactions to compounds chemically related to topotecan.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT00361803
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
All treated subjectsExperimentalAll subjects received Topotecan, administered intravenously over 30 minutes at 4 milligrams per meter^2 weekly for 3 weeks every 28 days.
Receives: Drug: topotecan

What is being measured

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

  1. CL and Vss of total topotecan

    Measured: Predose and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5, 4.5, 6.5, 8.5, 12, and 24 hours after the start of infusion on Day 1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cmax tmax t½ AUC(0-t) AUC(0-8) of total topotecan. Safety and tolerability will also be evaluated.

    Measured: Up to 77 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing topotecan in people with Cancer, run by GlaxoSmithKline 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 14 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 17 Nov 2017. 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?

CL and Vss of total topotecan (time frame: Predose and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5, 4.5, 6.5, 8.5, 12, and 24 hours after the start of infusion on Day 1). 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 NCT00361803, 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 17 Nov 2017.
