About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of GRN163L in Combination With Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of GRN163L when administered in combination with a standard paclitaxel/carboplatin regimen to patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

GRN163L is a telomerase template antagonist with in vitro and in vivo activity in a variety of tumor model systems. Telomerase is an enzyme that is active primarily in tumor cells and is crucial for the indefinite growth of tumor cells. Inhibition of telomerase may result in antineoplastic effects.

What participants receive

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

  • Imetelstat Sodium (GRN163L)Drug

    The starting dose of GRN163L for this study will be 3.2 mg/kg. Subsequent dose levels will be 4.8, 6, 7.5, 9, 11, and 13.5 mg/kg. The maximum dose to be administered will not exceed 13.5 mg/kg.

    Paclitaxel and carboplatin will be administered on Day 2 of each 21-day cycle.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Imetelstat Sodium (GRN163L) in people with Lung Cancer, run by Geron Corporation at 4 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 15 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 24 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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?

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?

Safety and MTD (time frame: First 3 weeks). 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 24 Dec 2015.
