What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Ixabepilone

    MTD is based on Cycle 1 data only and defined as the maximum dose that can be administered to 6 participants with no more than 1 experiencing a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) (or fewer than one third of participants if more than 6 receive treatment) with at least 2 participants experiencing a DLT at the next higher dose level. DLT=an event, such as neutropenia; thrombocytopenia; Gr 3 or 4 nausea or diarrhea; Gr 3 fatigue or asthenia; transient arthralgia or recalcitrant myalgia; and prolonged recovery from a toxicity, that occurs during the first course of treatment.

    Measured: Days 1 through 21 (Cycle 1)

  2. Number of Participants With DLTs by Worst Common Terminology Criteria (CTC) Grade

    Adverse events (AEs) graded by CTC version 3. Grade (Gr) 1=mild; Gr 2=moderate; Gr 3=severe; Gr 4=life threatening; Gr 5=Death related to AE. DLT is defined as an event related to ixabepilone that occurs during the first course of treatment. Includes neutropenia; thrombocytopenia; Gr 3 or 4 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea despite adequate medical intervention and prophylaxis; Gr 3 fatigue or asthenia; transient arthralgia or myalgia unresponsive to medical intervention; any Gr 3 nonhematologic toxicity; and prolonged recovery from a toxicity.

    Measured: Days 1 through 21 (Cycle 1), continuously

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Number of Participants With Death as Outcome, Treatment-related Adverse Events (AEs), and AEs Leading to Discontinuation

    An AE is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a preexisting medical condition that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. Treatment related=possibly, probably, or certainly related to and of unknown relationship to study treatment.

    Measured: Days 1 through 21 (Cycle 1), continuously

  2. Number of Participants With Abnormal Laboratory Values by Worst CTC Grade

    Measured: Days 1 and 5 of Cycle 1

  6. Plasma Half-life (T-Half) of Ixabepilone

    Measured: Day 5 of Cycle 1

  7. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Oral Ixabepilone at MTD in Fasted and Fed Participants in Crossover Cohorts

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ixabepilone, 5 mg/d, Ixabepilone, 10 mg/d and Ixabepilone, 15 mg/d in people with Cancer, run by R-Pharm at 2 sites 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 6 inclusion and 18 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 10 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Apr 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 (MTD) of Ixabepilone (time frame: Days 1 through 21 (Cycle 1)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Mar 2016.
