About this study

Official title: A Phase I Dose Escalation Study of the PKC Inhibitor, Aurothiomalate (ATM) in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Gold sodium thiomalate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of gold sodium thiomalate in treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine the maximum tolerated dose of gold sodium thiomalate in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
  • To describe the toxicities associated with this treatment.
  • To describe any preliminary evidence of biologic activity.
  • To further assess the correlation between PKCι expression and the antitumor effects of gold sodium thiomalate.
  • To study the association of clinical (toxicity and/or tumor response or activity) with pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters.
  • To describe anti-proliferative activity of gold sodium thiomalate through 3-deoxy-3-[^18F]-fluorothymidine positron emission tomography imaging.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of gold sodium thiomalate.

Patients receive gold sodium thiomalate intramuscularly on days 1, 8, 15 and 22. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive gold sodium thiomalate once every 4 weeks until a total cumulative dose of 1 gram is delivered.

Blood samples are collected at baseline and prior to therapy in weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. Samples are analyzed by mass spectometry for pharmacokinetics. Paraffin-embedded tumor tissue samples are analyzed for PKC_l expression and antitumor activity. Antiproliferative effects of gold sodium thiomalate are analyzed by 3-deoxy-3-[^18F]-fluorothymidine positron emission tomography imaging.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing gold sodium thiomalate, gene expression analysis and fluorine F 18 fluorothymidine in people with Lung Cancer, run by Mayo Clinic at 3 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?

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 9 Oct 2018. 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 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?

Maximum tolerated dose. The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Oct 2018.
