About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Glufosfamide in the Treatment of Patients With Recurrent Sensitive Small Cell Lung Carcinoma

The primary objectives of this study are:

  1. To evaluate the efficacy of glufosfamide in subjects with extensive recurrent sensitive small cell lung cancer (SCLC) as measured by objective response rate
  2. To evaluate the safety of glufosfamide in subjects with extensive recurrent sensitive SCLC

The secondary objectives are:

  1. To evaluate the efficacy of glufosfamide in subjects with extensive recurrent sensitive SCLC as measured by duration of response, progression-free survival and overall survival
  2. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of glufosfamide and isophosphoramide mustard (IPM)

The exploratory objectives of this trial are:

  1. To evaluate the effect of glufosfamide on lung cancer symptoms
  2. To evaluate the role of tumor cell glucose transporter expression on the efficacy of glufosfamide

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Glufosfamide in people with Carcinoma, Small Cell Lung, run by Threshold Pharmaceuticals at 3 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 12 inclusion and 13 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 30 Apr 2009. 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 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 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 stopped early. 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.

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 30 Apr 2009.
