About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Multicenter, Open-Label Dose Escalation Study Evaluating the Safety and Tolerability of Multiple Hematide Injections in Subjects With Refractory Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Breast Cancer, or Prostate Cancer Who Are Anemic and Receiving Cytotoxic Chemotherapy

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of peginesatide used to treat anemia in subjects diagnosed with recurrent non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer or prostate cancer and who also receiving a taxane chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Currently approved erythropoiesis stimulating agents have been used successfully to increase hemoglobin levels, reduce fatigue and other anemia-related symptoms, improve daily function, and alleviate the need for transfusions of red blood cells in subjects with chronic kidney disease-related anemia or in cancer subjects with chemotherapy-induced anemia.

Peginesatide (hematide) Injection is a parenteral formulation for administration by intravenous or subcutaneous injection that is being developed for the correction of anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease, including patients on dialysis and patients not on dialysis, and for the treatment of patients with anemia due to concomitantly administered chemotherapy.

This is a multicenter, open-label dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of multiple doses of peginesatide Injection in subjects with refractory non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, or prostate cancer. These subjects must have anemia diagnosed as a result of taxane chemotherapy.

What participants receive

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

  • PeginesatideDrug

    Also called Hematide

    Peginesatide 0.075, 0.1, 0.125, 0.15, 0.175, 0.2, 0.225 or 0.25 mg/kg administered subcutaneously every 3 weeks for a total of at least 2 doses. Subsequent injections given every 3 weeks thereafter regardless of the schedule of subsequent chemotherapy cycles.

    Following Study Day 43, subjects may continue on Peginesatide treatment, dosing every 3 weeks until 4 weeks after discontinuation of taxane-containing chemotherapy regimen, the occurrence of a dose limiting toxicity, documented disease progression or change in chemotherapy regimen.

    Measured: At All Visits for every cycle.

  10. Clinical Laboratory Tests and Electrocardiograms.

    Measured: At All Visits for every cycle.

  11. Electrocardiograms.

    Measured: At Final Visit for every cycle.

  12. Signs and symptoms for thromboembolytic events.

    Measured: At All Visits for every cycle.

  13. Proportion of subjects who have incidence of Hgb values >12 g/dL.

    Measured: At All Visits for every cycle.

  14. Proportion of subjects who have Hgb increases by more than 1 g/dL in a 2-week period.

    Measured: At All Visits for every cycle.

  15. Tumor progression.

    Measured: Every 2 cycles of chemotherapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Peginesatide in people with Anemia, run by Takeda at 2 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 17 inclusion and 30 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 1 Dec 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 was stopped early (reason given: Due to the uncertain regulatory landscape for erythropoiesis-stimulating agents in oncology indications.). 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?

Maximum tolerated dose. (time frame: End of Treatment.). 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 1 Dec 2011.
