About this study

Official title: Phase I Safety and Tolerability Study of Immediate Post-Operative Intravesical Instillation of Chemophase® (Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase in Combination With Mitomycin) in Patients With Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and tolerability of an experimental drug, Chemophase, a combination of recombinant human hyaluronidase, (an investigational synthetic enzyme also known as rHuPH20), and mitomycin (MMC) in the treatment of superficial bladder cancer when instilled intravesically immediately after TURBT (transurethral resection of bladder tumor).

Read the detailed description

Patients will be screened and enrolled prior to undergoing standard of care TURBT for known or suspected Stage Ta, T1 or Tis bladder cancer of any histological grade requiring TURBT and who are believed to be candidates for IPOP intravesical chemotherapy regardless of the need for further intravesical therapy. Within 6 hours after completion of TURBT, patients will be administered a single IPOP intravesical instillation of Chemophase with a one-hour dwell time. At the end of the one-hour dwell time, the patient will be asked to fully void or, if an intravesical catheter has been left in place, the bladder will be fully drained via the catheter. Patients will return at 1 and 2 weeks post instillation for follow up visits for safety and for a cystoscopy at day 85 (per standard of care). Safety and tolerability will be assessed through physical examinations, vital signs, cystoscopy, hematology (CBC), adverse event reporting, and measurements of plasma levels of MMC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Chemophase in people with Superficial Bladder Cancer, run by Halozyme Therapeutics at 5 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 16 inclusion and 18 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 8 Feb 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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. 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 Tolerability of immediate post-operative instillation of Chemophase. (time frame: Day 1 instillation, and weeks 1, 2, and 12). 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 8 Feb 2010.
