About this study

Official title: A Local Feasibility Study on Mangafodipir as an Adjunct to FOLFOX6 Chemotherapy in Patients Operated Upon Colon Cancer Stage Dukes' C

The present feasibility study is designed to find out whether pre-treatment with the compound mangafodipir lowers the frequency and severity of side effects during adjuvant chemotherapy according to the FOLFOX6 regimen in patients operated upon colon cancer in stage Dukes' C.

Read the detailed description

Mangafodipir, manganese (Mn) dipyridoxyl diphosphate, is a catalytic antioxidant and iron chelator recently (2006) suggested for cancer treatment in an Editorial in Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Preclinical research has shown that mangafodipir protects normal tissues without loss of anti-tumour activity during chemotherapy. Other advantages are that mangafodipir is already approved for use in patients as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of liver, and that the experience for more than a decade reveals high safety with mainly minor and tolerable side-effects.

The present study will include 14 patients who will be followed throughout 3 treatment cycles. Each cycle will be preceded by infusion of mangafodipir or placebo in two groups, each consisting of 7 patients. The primary endpoints will be the most frequent manifestation of FOLFOX6, namely neutropenia and neurosensory toxicity. The secondary endpoints will be the frequency and severity of other FOLFOX6-related adverse events and quality of life.

Being tested
Mangafodipir, Placebo treatment (0.9% NaCl)
Medical subject headings
Colonic Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • MangafodipirDrug

    Also called Teslascan; ACT code V08CAE05

    Treatment will be undertaken with a ready-to-use investigative drug formulation identical to what is in diagnostic use as a contrast medium for MRI.

    Formulation content: MnDPDP 10 mmol/ml

    Administered dose per cycle: 2 μmol/kg b.w. Administration form: Ready-to-use formulation (solution). Mangafodipir or placebo (0.2 ml/kg b.w.) will be administered as an i.v. infusion over 5 min about 30 min prior to start of chemotherapy.

  • Placebo treatment (0.9% NaCl)Drug

    Intravenous infusion, 2 micromol/kg, pretreatment 30 minutes before the start of FOLFOX treatment (during the first three FOLFOX treatments)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Mangafodipir in people with Chemotherapy and Colon Cancer, run by Egetis Therapeutics AB (publ) at 1 site in Sweden.

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 8 inclusion and 15 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 4 May 2010. 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 Sweden. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 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?

Neutropenia (time frame: Before and after completion of one, two and/or three FOLFOX6-cycles). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00671996, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 4 May 2010.
