About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-label Study of Pralatrexate With Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid Supplementation in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma

This study is being conducted to identify how much and how often pralatrexate, given with vitamin B12 and folic acid, can be given safely to patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) that has relapsed (returned after responding to previous treatment) or is refractory (has not responded to previous treatment). It is also being conducted to get information on whether or not pralatrexate is effective in treating relapsed or refractory CTCL.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 1, single-arm, open-label, multi-center study designed to determine an effective and well-tolerated dose and schedule of pralatrexate when administered concurrently with vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation to patients with relapsed or refractory CTCL. The start of study treatment is defined as the initiation of pralatrexate. A patient may begin pralatrexate, provided he/she has methylmalonic acid (MMA) serum concentrations < 200 nmol/L and homocysteine (Hcy) concentrations < 10 μmol/L at screening. If a patient has elevated MMA and/or Hcy concentrations, vitamin supplementation will be initiated at least 10 days prior to pralatrexate initiation. Once the patient is on study, the dosing of vitamin supplementation must adhere to the schedule defined by the protocol. Vitamin supplementation will consist of vitamin BB12

1 mg intramuscular (IM) every (q) 8-10 weeks, and folic acid 1 mg by mouth (PO) once a day (QD).

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine an Effective and Well-tolerated Dose and Schedule of Pralatrexate with Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid Supplementation for Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (CTCL)

    Response rate was used as the primary measure of efficacy during the process of identifying a well-tolerated and effective dosing regimen of pralatrexate in patients with relapsed/refractory CTCL. Duration of response was defined as the number of days between the date of first tumor response assessment of objective response (CR, CRu, or PR, whichever was recorded first) and the first date that recurrent disease or PD was objectively documented or death.

    Measured: Assessed at the end of every even-numbered cycle (every 8 weeks) for the first 6 months, then every 4 cycles (16 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Characterize the Safety Profile of Pralatrexate in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory CTCL.

    The safety analysis set included all patients who received at least 1 dose of pralatrexate. In order to be considered evaluable in the dose-finding phase of the study, patients must have

    (a) either experienced a DLT or (b) received all planned doses within the first cycle. Patients who terminated from the study prior to completion of cycle 1 for reasons other than DLTs were replaced.

    Measured: Assessed at all study visits: weekly while on treatment and at safety follow-up (35 +/- 5 days post-last dose) or early termination visit (at time of withdrawal)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Vitamin B12, Folic Acid and Pralatrexate in people with Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma, run by Acrotech Biopharma Inc. at 10 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 14 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 3 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 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?

Determine an Effective and Well-tolerated Dose and Schedule of Pralatrexate with Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid Supplementation for Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (CTCL) (time frame: Assessed at the end of every even-numbered cycle (every 8 weeks) for the first 6 months, then every 4 cycles (16 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 3 Jan 2020.
