About this study

This is a 2-part, open-label, single-arm, dose escalation study. Part I will define the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and optimal dose of SPI-1620 and evaluate its PK and PD properties. Once the MTD for SPI-1620 is identified, a second phase of the study will focus on dose escalation of docetaxel studied in groups of 3-6 patients. This part of the study will assess the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of docetaxel administered with the optimal dose of SPI 1620 defined in Part I.

Read the detailed description

This is a 2-part, open-label, single-arm, dose escalation study. Part I will define the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and optimal dose of SPI-1620 and evaluate its PK and PD properties. Eligible patients will receive SPI-1620 delivered intravenously over one minute on Days 1, 8 and 15. On Day 8 patients will undergo a series of four H215O PET Blood Flow (BF) scans which will be used to assess alterations in BF induced by SPI-1620 in tumor and non-tumor ROIs (Region of Interest). Fifteen minutes after receiving SPI-1620 on Day 15, patients will receive docetaxel, 60 mg/m2, administered by infusion over 1 hour. Accelerated dose escalation of SPI-1620 will be employed: one patient will be treated at each dose level with 100% increases between dose levels. If any grade 2 or higher, related AE occurs, the trial will revert to 3-patient cohorts with 40% dose escalation between groups. There will be no intrapatient dose escalation. Dose escalation will continue until there is either no further increase in tumor blood flow as assessed by H215O PET scan, or until significant toxicity is observed. Once the MTD for SPI-1620 is identified, a second phase of the study will focus on dose escalation of docetaxel studied in groups of 3-6 patients. This part of the study will assess the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of docetaxel administered with the optimal dose of SPI 1620 defined in Part I. If 60 mg/m 2 was tolerated in Part I then up to six patients in Part II will receive docetaxel at a dose of 80 mg/m2 once every 3 weeks. If this is tolerated the next group of patients will receive docetaxel 100 mg/m2 once every 3 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the safety and tolerability of SPI-1620 administered to patients with recurrent or progressive carcinoma who have failed all standard therapy.

    Measured: every three weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To assess the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of SPI-1620 administered to patients with recurrent or progressive carcinoma who have failed all standard therapy.

    Measured: one week

  2. To identify the optimum dose of SPI-1620 to be used in future Phase II studies.

    Measured: every three weeks

  3. To assess the safety and tolerability of doses of docetaxel from 60 mg/m2 to 100 mg/m2 when given following infusion of SPI 1620.

    Measured: every three weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing SPI-1620 in people with Carcinoma, run by Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc 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 9 inclusion and 20 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 21 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?

To assess the safety and tolerability of SPI-1620 administered to patients with recurrent or progressive carcinoma who have failed all standard therapy. (time frame: every three 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 21 Oct 2013.
