  • Significant comorbid condition or disease which in the judgment of the Investigator would place the patient at undue risk or interfere with the study (eg, cardiac disease such as acute coronary syndrome or unstable angina within 6 months, uncontrolled hypertension, cirrhotic liver disease, cerebrovascular accident, or other conditions);
  • History of prior malignancies within the past 5 years other than non-melanomatous skin cancers that have been controlled, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, T1a or b prostate cancer noted incidentally during a transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) with prostate-specific antigen values within normal limits since TURP, or superficial bladder cancer;
  • Women who are pregnant or lactating;

  • Screening QTc > 450 msec in males; QTc > 470 msec in females, or previous history of QTc prolongation while taking other medications; or
  • Active or recent history (within 3 months) of keratitis or keratoconjunctivitis, confirmed by ophthalmology or optometry exam.

What participants receive

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

  • IPI-504Drug

    Dose as a 30 to 60 minute IV infusion as part of a 21-day treatment cycle until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, initiation of alternative anticancer therapy, or other reasons for patient withdrawal. IPI-504 will be administered twice weekly on Study Days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of each 21-day cycle.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing IPI-504 in people with Metastatic Melanoma, run by Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 17 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?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 17 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Study closed \& recruitment will not recommence). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Evaluating the antitumor activity of IPI-504 in patients with metastatic melanoma. The primary assessment of antitumor activity is the 6-month progression-free rate. (time frame: from the first administration of IPI-504 through 30 days after the last dose of IPI-504). 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 10 Dec 2012.
