About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of VELCADE in Patients With Metastatic or Locally Recurrent Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

This study seeks to test the Efficacy in terms of rates of disease response in metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma of the standard dose of velcade 1.3 mg/m2 given at the day 1,4,8,and 11 every 21 days schedule. The study uses a Simons 2 stage design and will enroll between 15-25 patients. Secondary endpoints studied include Pharmacokinetics, toxicities, EBV viral load and molecular characterization of EBV in plasma.

What participants receive

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

  • VelcadeDrug

    velcade 1.3 mg/m2 given at the day 1,4,8,and 11 every 21 days schedule.

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy based on response of measurable disease

    Measured: duration of study (4 -6 months)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. EBV viral load

    Measured: duration of study (4 -6 months)

  2. toxicities

    Measured: duration of study (4 -6 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Velcade in people with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, run by Johns Hopkins University at 3 sites in 2 countries.

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 17 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2020. 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 Singapore, China. 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 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Efficacy based on response of measurable disease (time frame: duration of study (4 -6 months)). 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 18 May 2020.
