What participants receive

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

  • IT-101 (12mg/m2/dose)Drug

    Patients who satisfy the inclusion/exclusion criteria will receive a blinded infusion of IT-101 (12mg/m2/dose) every other week until disease progression.

  • IT-101 (15mg/m2/dose)Drug

    Patients who satisfy the inclusion/exclusion criteria will receive an infusion of IT-101 (15mg/m2) every other week until disease progression.

  • 5% Dextrose (Placebo)Drug

    Patients who satisfy the inclusion/exclusion criteria will receive an infusion of placebo every other week until disease progression.

What is being measured

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

  1. To Compare the proportion of patients without evidence of disease progression at 30 weeks following randomization between IT-101 at 12 mg/m2/dose or 15 mg/m2/dose to a placebo infusion treatment administered every other week.

    Measured: 30 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Comparison of adverse drug experiences between each treatment

    Measured: 30 weeks

  2. Compare the frequency of drug-related toxicities between each treatment arm

    Measured: 30 weeks

  3. Compare Quality of Life (QOL, patient-reported) measures (FACT-O, FOSI) between treatment arms.

    Measured: 30 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing IT-101 (12mg/m2/dose) and IT-101 (15mg/m2/dose) in people with Cancer and Ovarian Cancer, run by NewLink Genetics Corporation at 7 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 6 inclusion and 9 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 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. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

To Compare the proportion of patients without evidence of disease progression at 30 weeks following randomization between IT-101 at 12 mg/m2/dose or 15 mg/m2/dose to a placebo infusion treatment administered every other week. (time frame: 30 weeks). 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 NCT00753740, which also lists 3 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 12 Jun 2020.
