About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Dose-escalation, Phase I Study to Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose, Recommended Dose, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of the Proteosome Inhibitor CEP 18770 Given Intravenously as Single Agent in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumours or Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas

This Phase 1 escalating-dose study is designed to assess, the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of the novel proteasome inhibitor CEP 18770, given intravenously as single agent, in patients with advanced, incurable solid tumours or NHL, and to identify the recommended dose of CEP 18770 to be used in Phase 2 studies.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, multicenter, dose-escalating study to determine the MTD and dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) of CEP 18770, a novel proteasome inhibitor. The study will also characterize the pharmacokinetics and the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship of CEP 18770, and assess the safety and tolerability of CEP-18770 treatment as well as any effect on tumour response whenever possible.

Patients will be treated intravenously with CEP 18770 on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of a 21-day cycle period. Additional cycles may be administered, up to 6, as long as patients are maintaining their performance status and appear to be receiving clinical benefit from the study.

Safety data will be collected for all patients in order to determine the toxicity and reversibility of toxicity of CEP 18770. Formal assessments will be performed throughout the study including at baseline, prior to each dose of study medication every week, and 30 days following the last dose of study drug. Patients with drug-related toxicities will continue to be reviewed until resolution or stabilization of the toxicity. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters will also be assessed in each cohort of patients during cycle 1. Where applicable, tumour measurements will be documented and any observed anti-tumour activity will be evaluated.

The study will follow a conventional MTD design with patients recruited in cohorts of 3 patients, with criteria to expand to 6 patients. Enrolment for each cohort will begin when the required number of patients in the prior cohort have completed one 21-day cycle of study drug treatment at the current dose level without experiencing a DLT. Once the MTD has been determined, additional 10 patients will be treated at the MTD to further explore the toxicity of this dose, and its suitability for Phase II studies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CEP-18770 in people with Solid Tumors and Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin, run by Ethical Oncology Science at 3 sites in 2 countries.

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 11 inclusion and 13 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 20 May 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Switzerland, Italy. 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?

Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) and Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of CEP 18770 (time frame: Within the first 21-day cycle). 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 20 May 2010.
