About this study

Official title: Phase I Trial of Oral Topotecan Plus Temodar in the Treatment of Patients With Malignant Gliomas

Objectives:

  • To determine the maximum tolerated dose of oral topotecan when administered with Temodar to patients with malignant glioma
  • To characterize any toxicity associated with the combination oral topotecan and Temodar.
  • To observe patients for clinical antitumor response when treated with oral topotecan and Temodar.
Read the detailed description

Subjects are patients with glioblastoma (GBM), anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) or grade 3 or greater WHO astrocytic, oligodendroglial or mixed glial tumors, which were initially diagnosed by histologic examination of biopsy/resection. Modified classical "3+3" phase I design used to determine maximum tolerated dose of topotecan in combination with Temodar.

What participants receive

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

  • Oral Topotecan and TemodarDrug

    Also called Temodar - Temozolomide, Topotecan - Hycamtin

    Temozolomide is taken by mouth once day, every day for 5 consecutive days at dose of 200 mg/m2/day.

    Oral Topotecan will be taken daily for 5 consecutive days beginning 12-24 hrs after 1st dose of Temozolomide. Dose escalation of Oral Topotecan will be carried out in cohorts of 3 new subjects beginning w dose level 1 @ 0.75 mg/m2/dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Oral Topotecan and Temodar in people with Glioblastoma and Gliosarcoma, run by Katy Peters 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 11 inclusion and 3 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 25 Oct 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?

maximum tolerated dose (time frame: 6 months). 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 25 Oct 2013.
