About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial of AEG35156 Administered by 2-Hour Intravenous Infusion in Patients With Advanced Cancers

This study is designed to find the maximum tolerated dose, safety and toxicity profile, and to identify any dose limiting toxicities of AEG35156 administered in 2-hour infusions to patients with advanced cancers.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I study, single-arm, open-label, dose escalation study to establish the recommended dose and activity of AEG35156 administered as a 2-hour daily infusion over 3 days initially followed by weekly 2-hour intravenous infusions in patients with advanced cancers. Subjects eligible for study entry must have proven advanced or metastatic cancer refactory to conventional treatment or for which no conventional therapy exists. The starting dose will be a fixed dose of 60 mg/day with escalation by steps of 50 to 100% in successive cohorts. Approximately of 30 patients will be entered in the study to determine the maximum tolerated dose.

What participants receive

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

  • AEG35156Drug

    weekly IV solution infused over 2 hrs

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose level at which AEG35156 is well tolerated based upon development of toxicities during the first cycle of therapy unless delayed or cumulative toxicity is encountered. Assessments done weekly.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Determine the impact of AEG35156 on inhibition and apoptosis in tumour biopsies or circulating tumour cells.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Determine the occurence of XIAP knockdown in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Determine the plasma pharmacokinetic profile of AEG35156.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Determine the possible anti-tumour activity of XIAP.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AEG35156 in people with Advanced Cancer, run by Aegera Therapeutics at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2008. 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 Kingdom. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Dosing cohort (650mg) exceeded current 350mg dosing in other trials.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Dose level at which AEG35156 is well tolerated based upon development of toxicities during the first cycle of therapy unless delayed or cumulative toxicity is encountered. Assessments done weekly. (time frame: 1 year). 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 21 Aug 2008.
