Study groups in NCT00636545
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Part 1ExperimentalCohort 1- Genasense will be administered as a 2-hour intravenous infusion once weekly for 3 weeks at a dose of 300 mg to the first subject enrolled and, in the absence of dose-limiting toxicity, in increasing increments of 100 mg to each successive subject enrolled to a maximum dose of 1000 mg.
Receives: Drug: Oblimersen (Genasense)
Part 2ExperimentalGenasense will be administered as a 2-hour intravenous infusion twice weekly for 3 weeks at a dose established based on Part 1 of the study.
Receives: Drug: Oblimersen (Genasense)
Cohort 2ExperimentalAlso in Part 1 of the study, Genasense will be administered as a 2-hour intravenous infusion once weekly for 3 weeks at a starting dose of 1100 mg and increasing in increments of 100 mg to the MTD. Patients will be pretreated with a corticosteroid.
Receives: Drug: Oblimersen (Genasense)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Oblimersen (Genasense) in people with Solid Tumors, run by Genta Incorporated 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 6 Apr 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?

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Genasense administered as a 2-hour IV infusion once a week (Part 1) and twice a week (Part 2) to patients with solid tumors (time frame: One year). 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 6 Apr 2012.
