  • All sexes

  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients defined by age ≥18 years.

  • Evaluable disease, either measurable on imaging or with informative tumor marker(s), by RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) criteria.

Who cannot join

  • Pregnancy or lactation. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to enrolment.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Open-Label, Sequential Dose Escalation Study Investigating the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Intravenous Lipotecan® (TLC388 HCl for Injection) When Administered to Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

The purpose of this study is to find a safe and tolerable dose of Lipotecan® when administered to patients with advanced solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

Lipotecan® is a drug product of TLC388 HCl, which is a potent camptothecin analog with cytotoxic activities against a variety of human tumor cell lines in vitro and anti-tumor activities in several xenograft models with human tumor cell lines. Structurally, TLC388 HCl is related to other camptothecins, but it has been chemically modified to improve stability and potency, and to minimize toxicities.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Lipotecan

    MTD is the highest dose of drug that did not cause an unacceptable side effect (= Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)). A 3+3 study design was used to determine MTD. The MTD was the highest dose level at which 0 of 3 or 1 of 6 patients experience a DLT, with the next higher dose having at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experiencing a DLT.

    Measured: First treatment to toxicity up to 42 days

  2. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Number of participants with AEs that occurred during treatment and follow-up period (30 days after last treatment). Drug-related AEs and SAEs were followed until resolved or stabilized. AEs were classified by the investigator according to severity graded using CTCAE version 3.0 and relationship to study drug. The severity scale is: Grade 1= Mild, Grade 2= Moderate, Grade 3= Severe, Grade 4= Life-threatening or disabling, Grade 5= Death related to AE

    Measured: an average of 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Anti-tumor Activity

    Patients were evaluated by tumor assessment using RECIST guidelines. Possible evaluations include: Complete Response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR): at least a 30% decrease in the size of target lesions. Progressive Disease (PD): at least a 20% increase in the size of target lesions. Stable Disease (SD): neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD.

    Measured: From start of treatment assessed every 2 cycles up to 2.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Lipotecan in people with Advanced Solid Tumors, run by Taiwan Liposome Company at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 18 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States, Taiwan. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Feb 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Lipotecan (time frame: First treatment to toxicity up to 42 days). The study lists 22 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Nov 2019.
