About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Multi-Dose Dose-Escalation Study of Elesclomol Sodium, Administered Once Weekly to Subjects With Solid Tumors

The aim of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of elesclomol sodium at escalating doses (ultimately identifying the maximum tolerated dose). This study will also characterize the pharmacokinetics of elesclomol and evaluate its anti-tumor activity in advanced solid tumors that are metastatic and unresectable.

What is being measured

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

  1. To characterize the safety and tolerability of elesclomol sodium administered once weekly to subjects with solid tumors

    Measured: Jan 2011

  2. To determine the pharmacokinetics of elesclomol in this population when administered once weekly as a 1-hour intravenous infusion

    Measured: Jan 2011

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To inform dose selection for future study using a once-a-week schedule

    Measured: Jan 2011

  2. To evaluate anti-tumor activity in advanced solid tumors that are metastatic and unresectable

    Measured: Jan 2011

  3. To assess the effect of elesclomol sodium on the development of peripheral neuropathy by rating sensory symptoms, strength, tendon reflexes, and vibratory sense

    Measured: Jan 2011

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Elesclomol Sodium in people with Metastatic Solid Tumors, run by Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. at 3 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 5 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Mar 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 characterize the safety and tolerability of elesclomol sodium administered once weekly to subjects with solid tumors (time frame: Jan 2011). The study lists 2 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 9 Mar 2009.
