About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Trial of Escalating Doses of Karenitecin Plus Cyclophosphamide Administered Intravenously Daily for 5 Consecutive Days in Pediatric Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Solid Tumors

This is a Phase 1, open-label, single-center, dose-escalating study in pediatric patients with refractory or recurrent solid tumors. Patients will be registered into 1 of 2 strata, depending upon the presence bone marrow metastases or previous treatment with intensive myelosuppression therapy. Patients will receive Karenitecin along with cyclophosphamide daily for 5 consecutive days, every 21 days (1 treatment cycle). Treatment may continue for up to 20 cycles, as long as there is continued evidence of clinical benefit and an absence of unacceptable toxicity.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalating study of karenitecin plus cyclophosphamide in the treatment of pediatric patients with refractory or recurrent solid tumors. All patients must have histologically documented diagnosis of cancer (solid tumors) refractory to conventional therapeutic modalities or for which no curative treatment exists.

Approximately 50 patients will be registered into the study in one of 2 strata.

Stratum 1 will include patients with known bone marrow metastases or those who have had prior intensive myelosuppression therapy. Stratum 2 will include patients without previous intensive myelosuppressive therapy or bone marrow metastases. Each stratum will accrue patients independently.

The primary endpoint in this study is the MTD and determining the recommended Phase 2 dose level for this study. The MTD will be determined for each stratum independently.

There are 3 defined periods in this study:

Period I (Screening and Registration)

Period II (Active Treatment): An accelerated titration dose escalation design will be used in this study. Dose escalation will function independently for each stratum.

Period III (End of Study): Once treatment has been discontinued, patients will undergo end-of-study procedures.

What participants receive

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

  • Kareniticin and cyclophosphamideDrug

    An accelerated titration dose escalation design will be used in this study. Dose escalation will function independently for each stratum. Patients in both strata will receive Karenitecin and cyclophosphamide administered as an IV infusion each day for 5 consecutive days. In addition, patients in Stratum 1 will receive prophylactic G-CSF starting 24 hours after completion of the fifth dose of Karenitecin and cyclophosphamide (and continuing daily until the ANC is over 1500/mm3 after nadir). The regimen will be repeated every 21 days (1 treatment cycle).

    Treatment may continue for up to 20 cycles, provided there is continued evidence of clinical benefit and absence of unacceptable toxicity.

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) levels and recommended Phase 2 dose levels of Karenitecin when administered intravenously for 5 consecutive days with a fixed dose of Cytoxan®

    Measured: evaluation will extend at least 30 days following the last dose or until toxicities have resolved

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary objectives include the assessment of toxicity associated with Karenitecin administered in combination with cyclophosphamide; and the assessment of antitumor activity of Karenitecin administered in combination with cyclophosphamide.

    Measured: evaluation will extend at least 30 days following the last dose or until toxicities have resolved

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Kareniticin and cyclophosphamide in people with Solid Tumors, run by Baylor College of Medicine 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 19 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 15 May 2012. 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?

To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) levels and recommended Phase 2 dose levels of Karenitecin when administered intravenously for 5 consecutive days with a fixed dose of Cytoxan® (time frame: evaluation will extend at least 30 days following the last dose or until toxicities have resolved). 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 15 May 2012.
