Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate E7107 in patients with solid tumors. This is an open label, dose-escalation study of E7107. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the single agent will be established by determining the occurrence of dose limiting toxicities during the first three weeks of therapy (Cycle 1).

Who cannot join

  • Patients with the following characteristics will not be eligible for the study.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Open-Label, Single-Arm, Dose Escalation Study of E7107 Administered Intravenously on Days 1 and 8 Every 21 Days to Patients With Solid Tumors

The purpose of this study is to investigate E7107 in patients with solid tumors. This is an open label, dose-escalation study of E7107. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the single agent will be established by determining the occurrence of dose limiting toxicities during the first three weeks of therapy (Cycle 1). Patients in this study will be treated at multiple dose levels, starting at 0.6 mg/m^2. Patients will receive E7107 as a 30-minute intravenous infusion on Days 1 and 8 every 21 Days.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • E7107Drug

    E7107 will be administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes at a starting dose of 0.6 mg/m^2 to the first cohort of patients. The same dose will be given on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle. Dose escalation will not occur until the maximum tolerated dose is reached. The selection of subsequent dose levels will be performed according to an accelerated design.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor assessments should be performed at screening and then every 2 cycles. A best response according to RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) will be documented by the investigator for each patient.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Clinical examination (either full or symptom-directed), adverse event reporting, laboratory screens, and electrocardiograms (ECGs) will be performed at every visit.

    Measured: Every 21 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing E7107 in people with Cancer, run by Eisai Inc. 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 8 inclusion and 22 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2009. 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?

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tumor assessments should be performed at screening and then every 2 cycles. A best response according to RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) will be documented by the investigator for each patient. (time frame: Every 6 weeks). 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 NCT00499499, 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 4 Feb 2009.
