What participants receive

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

  • Plitidepsin and SorafenibDrug

    Patients will receive i.v. plitidepsin over 1h on days 1, 8 and 15 every 4 weeks (d1, 8, 15 q4wk) and continuous oral sorafenib twice daily (bid) (a cycle is defined as an interval of 4 weeks).

  • Gemcitabine and PlitidepsinDrug

    Patients will receive i.v. gemcitabine over 30 minutes followed 1 hour later by plitidepsin over 1 hour on d1, 8, 15 q4wk (a cycle is defined as an interval of 4 weeks).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Plitidepsin and Sorafenib and Gemcitabine and Plitidepsin in people with Advanced Solid Tumors and Lymphomas, run by PharmaMar at 2 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 11 inclusion and 24 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 7 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States, France. 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?

To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended dose (RD) of plitidepsin in combination with sorafenib or gemcitabine in patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas. (time frame: Along the study). 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 7 Jun 2011; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
