About this study

Official title: A Phase I and Pharmacokinetic Study of Oral 3-Aminopyridine-2-Carboxaldehyde Thiosemicarbazone(3-AP,Triapine) in the Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of 3-AP in treating patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. 3-AP may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the safety, tolerability, and toxicity of oral 3-AP in patients with advanced solid tumors.

II. Determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose of this drug in these patients.

III. Determine the oral bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of this drug. IV. Assess tumoral expression of genes involved in response and resistance to 3-AP.

  1. Observe and record any tumor response in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study.

Patients receive a one time dose of 3-AP IV over 2 hours on day -7. Patients then receive oral 3-AP twice daily on days 1-3, 8-10, and 15-17. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of oral 3-AP until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis are collected periodically over 8 hours after the IV dose of 3-AP and after the first oral dose of 3-AP during course 1.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

Being tested
triapine, pharmacological study, laboratory biomarker analysis

Study groups in NCT00390052
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm IExperimentalPatients will receive a 2-hour infusion of 3-AP once in week 1. Beginning in week 2, they will receive 3-AP by mouth twice a day 3 days a week for 3 weeks. Treatment with 3-AP by mouth may repeat every 4 weeks for as long as benefit is shown.
Receives: Drug: triapine; Other: pharmacological study; Procedure: laboratory biomarker analysis

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose of oral 3-AP determined by dose-limiting toxicities graded according to the NCI CTCAE version 3.0

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Serum pharmacokinetics of oral triapine

    Summary statistics of the pharmacokinetic parameters will be tabulated using the logarithmic scale where appropriate. The relationship of the AUC to the dose will be assessed by least-square regression analysis.

    Measured: Baseline, day 4, and day 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing triapine, pharmacological study and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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?

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 16 Dec 2013. 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?

Maximum tolerated dose of oral 3-AP determined by dose-limiting toxicities graded according to the NCI CTCAE version 3.0 (time frame: 28 days). 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 16 Dec 2013.
