  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors, refractory to standard curative therapy, or for which no curative therapy exists.
  • Clinically or radiologically documented disease. Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as > 20 mm with conventional techniques or as > 10 mm with spiral CT scan.
  • Archival tumor specimens evaluable for expression of the EGFR (but EGFR positivity is not a requirement for study entry).
  • Patients must have tumor lesions accessible for biopsy for correlative studies. In cases where there are medical contraindications to tumor biopsies, exceptions may be made upon discussion with the Principal Investigators.
  • Age > 18 years.
  • ECOG performance status of 0,1,2.

  • Previous therapy: Previous chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, radiation and/or surgery is permitted with certain restrictions as outlined in the protocol.
  • Hematology and chemistry lab results within specifications outlined in the protocol.
  • Willingness to give written informed consent.
  • Patients must be accessible for treatment and follow-up.
  • Protocol treatment is to begin within 2 working days of patient registration.

  • History of second malignancy who have a disease-free interval of less than two years (except cervical cancer in situ or nonmelanomatous skin cancer).
  • Untreated brain or meningeal metastases. Patients with treated and stable brain metastases are eligible providing that they have radiologic evidence of disease stabilisation of at least 3 months duration and are asymptomatic.
  • Untreated and/or uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions and/or have symptomatic cardiac dysfunction.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of TheraCIM-hR3 (YMB1000) in Patients With Solid Tumours

This is a phase I trial of nimotuzumab that will be conducted in patients with advanced incurable solid tumors. This is a dose-seeking study to determine the maximum tolerated and recommended phase II doses of nimotuzumab that can be safely given to patients with advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, dose-escalating, phase I trial of nimotuzumab in patients with advanced incurable solid tumors. The objective of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of nimotuzumab that can be given in a weekly schedule in patients with advanced and/or metastatic solid tumor cancer. This study will also examine the safety, pharmacodynamics and preliminary efficacy of nimotuzumab in this patient population.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Nimotuzumab (TheraCIM h-R3) in people with Advanced and/or Metastatic Solid Tumours, run by YM BioSciences at 1 site in Canada.

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 11 inclusion and 9 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 28 Feb 2007. 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 Canada. 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.

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 28 Feb 2007.
