Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects must be refractory to or intolerant of established therapy known to provide clinical benefit for their condition, i.e., patients must not be candidates for regimens known to provide clinical benefit.
  • Patients must have measurable (as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria) solid tumors.
  • Prior chemotherapy and radiation therapy are allowed (at least 4 weeks must have passed from prior chemotherapy and radiotherapy (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C)), provided that clinically significant toxicity related to prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy has returned to baseline or National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity and Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade ≤ 2 and are not expected to recover further. The toxicities specifically exclude alopecia.
  • Age >18 years.
  • ECOG performance status <2.
  • Life expectancy of greater than 12 weeks, as estimated by Principal Investigator.

  • Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined in the protocol.
  • The effects of QBI-139 on the developing human fetus are unknown. Therefore, both men and women should not attempt to conceive and women should not be pregnant or breast-feeding while taking part in this study (or for 90 days after completing the study).
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Who cannot join

  • Concurrent treatment with an investigational agent other than the investigational agent(s) used in this study OR treatment within 4 weeks of study entry with any investigational agent(s) or device(s).
  • Failure to recover fully (as judged by the Investigator) from prior surgical procedures.
  • Patients with known brain metastases or leptomeningeal carcinomatosis
  • Patients who have had a gastrointestinal bleed requiring transfusion within the past 6 months or active Grade 2 or higher diarrhea
  • Treatment with Ranpirnase (Onconase®)
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Patients known to have HIV are ineligible
  • Patients with known immunocompromised status or organ transplants will be excluded
  • Patients must not have:
  • unstable angina (anginal symptoms at rest) within the past 6 months or
  • myocardial infarction within the past 6 months or
  • new onset angina within the last 3 months.
  • QT prolongation (defined as QTc >450 msec for males and QTc >470 msec for females)

About this study

Official title: Phase I Safety and Pharmacokinetic Study of QBI-139 Injection Administered by Weekly Intravenous Infusion in Patients With Refractory Malignancies

The purposes of this trial are:

  • To evaluate the toxicity and tolerability of QBI-139 in patients with advanced refractory solid tumors.
  • To determine the maximum tolerated dose of QBI-139 in patients with advanced, refractory solid tumors.

Patients will receive QBI-139 by IV infusion over at least one hour once weekly for three weeks. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3 to 6 patients receive escalating doses of QBI-139 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined.

What participants receive

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

  • QBI-139Drug

    QBI-139 is being administered once a week over a two hour infusion in escalating doses.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the toxicity and tolerability of and the maximum tolerated dose for QBI-139 in patients with advanced refractory solid tumors.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (three weeks)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To determine the patient response rate to QBI-139 using the RECIST criteria.

    Measured: Duration of drug administration

  2. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of QBI-139

    Measured: Cycles 1 and 2 (six weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing QBI-139 in people with Solid Tumors, run by Quintessence Biosciences, Inc. at 2 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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 2015. 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 evaluate the toxicity and tolerability of and the maximum tolerated dose for QBI-139 in patients with advanced refractory solid tumors. (time frame: Cycle 1 (three weeks)). 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 28 Jan 2015.
