About this study

Official title: Toxicity and Activity of Periocular Topotecan in Children With Retinoblastoma

This is a dose-escalation study aimed to assess the toxicity (and marginally the activity) of periocular topotecan in patients with relapsed-resistant retinoblastoma.

Read the detailed description

Patients with bilateral retinoblastoma who have relapsed after attempts of conservative therapy with standard regimens such as carboplatin, etoposide, vincristine and external beam radiotherapy who face immediate enucleation of their single remaining eye are eligible for this protocol. Starting dose of topotecan will be 0.5 mg and dose escalation will be done by the accelerated titration method. Any Grade 3 ocular toxicity or grade 4 non ocular toxicity will be designed as the dose limiting toxicity. Grade 2 scleral toxicity will be considered for DLT. In case of grade 2 ocular toxicity or grade 3 systemic toxicity, the escalation dose will be 0.25 mg. Maximal dose will be 2 mg.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Topotecan in people with Retinoblastoma, run by Hospital JP Garrahan at 1 site in Argentina.

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 3 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 2 May 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 Argentina. 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?

Dose limiting toxicity. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00460876, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2 May 2008.
