  • triglycerides ≤ 400 mg/dL (fasting)
  • albumin ≥ 3.0 mg/dL
  • negative pregnancy test for women able to have children
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Who cannot join

  • Prior therapy with topotecan
  • More than 3 prior cytotoxic chemotherapeutic regimens or treatment with temsirolimus or any other mTOR inhibitor
  • Concomitant hormonal therapy or radiation therapy
  • Clinically significant infections or other medical problems of significant severity
  • History of unstable angina or myocardial infarction within the past six months
  • Known brain metastases unless the metastases have been controlled by prior surgery or radiotherapy, and the patient has been neurologically stable and off of steroids for at least 4 weeks.

Use of agents that potently inhibit CYP3A4 (and hence may raise temsirolimus levels), such as ketoconazole, is discouraged, but not specifically prohibited.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Topotecan and CCI-779 (temsirolimus) in people with Genital Neoplasms, Female, run by University of Chicago at 1 site 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 8 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 5 Sep 2013. 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 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?

Tolerability of regimen (time frame: 4 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 NCT00523432, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 5 Sep 2013.
