About this study

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of Carboplatin and ABI-007 (Abraxane) in combination with Sorafenib (BAY 43-9006) on Melanoma.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this phase II multicenter trial is to:

Measure the response rate (RR) of this combination and schedule in patients with metastatic melanoma

The secondary objectives are to:

Assess the safety and toxicity of this regimen in this patient population

Determine the 1-year and median PFS of patients treated according to protocol

Determine overall survival (OS)

STUDY DESIGN

This will be a Phase II study single arm study with a two-stage design with a maximum sample size of 43 patients, 18 in the first stage and 25 in the second stage.

Study duration: A minimum yearly accrual of 10-15 patients/institution is expected. Therefore, to reach the first stage, the study will take 1.2 to 1.8 years with one institution, 0.6 to 0.9 years with 2 institutions, and 0.4 to 0.6 years with 3. If the study continues to full accrual to 43 patients, completion will take 2.9 to 4.3 years with one institution, 1.4 to 2.2 years with two and 0.96 to 1.43 years with three institutions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sorafenib (BAY 43-9006) and ABI-007(Abraxane) in people with Malignant Melanoma, run by Mt. Sinai Medical Center, Miami 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 16 inclusion and 19 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 3 May 2012. 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 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 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?

Primary Objective (time frame: one - two years). 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 3 May 2012.
