  • Male subject agrees to use an acceptable method for contraception for the duration of the study.
  • Cardiac ejection fraction is more than 45%

Who cannot join

  • Patient has a platelet count of <100 x 109/L within 14 days before enrollment.

About this study

Official title: Phase IB Dose Escalation Study of Bortezomib (VELCADE) Administered Weekly for 4 Weeks and Sunitinib (SU-011248) Administered Daily for 4 Weeks Followed by a 14 Day Rest in Patients With Refractory Solid Tumors

The purpose of this study is to test the effect of the combination of sunitinib and bortezomib. We will see what effects it has on your cancer and find the highest dose of each agent that can be given without causing severe side effects.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I study assessing the combination of bortezomib and sunitinib in patients with solid tumors that are refractory to standard chemotherapy.

The study will take place in two stages. In both stages, patients will receive sunitinib orally with food once daily for 4 weeks and bortezomib by injection into a vein once a week for 4 weeks. This will be followed by 2 weeks of rest. This 6-week period is called one cycle.

In stage 1, a maximum of 10 patients will be treated sequentially with increasing doses of sunitinib (and a fixed dose of bortezomib). Each dose level must be well tolerated for the next patient to start treatment at the next dose level. Whichever is the highest dose of sunitinib that is well tolerated will then be used for the next stage.

In stage 2, a maximum of 20 patients will be treated sequentially with increasing doses of bortezomib (and a fixed dose of sunitinib). Each dose level must be well tolerated for the next patient to start treatment at the next dose level.

Together, the two stages will determine the highest doses of both sunitinib and bortezomib that are well tolerated when given this combination. Determining these optimal doses is the primary aim of this study. Patients will also be followed to see whether their tumor responds to the treatment.

If a patient's cancer remains stable or improves, they can repeat the treatment cycles. There is no defined end date to this study since patients will be followed for the duration of their survival.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Sunitinib and Bortezomib in people with Solid Tumors, run by Emory University 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 7 inclusion and 14 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 26 Aug 2014. 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?

Safety and toxicity of combination therapy with sunitinib and bortezomib (time frame: every week). 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 26 Aug 2014.
