Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methoxyamine and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving methoxyamine together with temozolomide may kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Methoxyamine and Temozolomide in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methoxyamine and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving methoxyamine together with temozolomide may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of methoxyamine when given together with temozolomide in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine the maximum tolerated dose of methoxyamine given in conjunction with temozolomide in patients with and without CNS disease.
  • To determine the dose limiting toxicities of the combination of methoxyamine and temozolomide in patients with and without CNS disease.
  • To determine the pharmacokinetics of these two agents when given alone or in combination, as well as the pharmacokinetic profile of methoxyamine after single one-hour IV administration.
  • To determine relative DNA damage, as single or double strand breaks by comet assay in blood mononuclear cells which will serve as a surrogate for tumor response to the drug combination.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of methoxyamine.

Patients receive oral temozolomide for 5 days every 28 days and methoxyamine IV over 1 hour every 28 days. Methoxyamine IV administration will follow, within 5 minutes, initial administration of TMZ on day 1. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Blood samples are collected periodically for correlative studies. Samples are analyzed for methoxyamine and temozolomide pharmacokinetics, apurinic/apyrimidinic sites, and DNA strand break determination by comet assay.

What participants receive

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

  • MethoxyamineDrug

    Also called NSC-3801, MX

    For all cycles, TMZ will be given orally for 5 days every 28 days. MX will be given as a single one-hour IV infusion every 28 days. Temozolomide will be administered within 5 minutes following the initiation of methoxyamine.

  • TemozolomideDrug

    Also called TMZ

    Patients receive oral temozolomide once daily on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Study groups in NCT00892385
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Non-CNS DiseaseExperimentalA traditional 3 + 3 dose escalation design will be implemented. Successive cohorts of participants (3 participants/cohort) will be entered sequentially to each dose level. If 0/3 participants at a dose level experience dose limiting toxicity (DLT) new participants may be entered at the next higher dose level. If 1 participant has a DLT, 3 more will be enrolled at the same dose level. If the 1st participant in the expanded cohort (4th at the given DL), experiences no DLT, the remaining 2 participants can start treatment. If 2 or more experience DLT in the first cycle, no further participants are started at that dose and the MTD is the highest dose level in which <2 (of 6) participants develop DLT. If the final dose level is deemed the MTD, 6 participants will be treated at this dose level even if a DLT has not been observed.
Receives: Drug: Methoxyamine; Drug: Temozolomide
CNS DiseaseExperimentalA traditional 3 + 3 dose escalation design with successive cohorts of 3 participants will be entered sequentially to each dose level. If 0/3 participants experience DLT, new participants may be entered at the next higher dose level. If 1 participant has a DLT, 3 more will be enrolled at the same dose level. If the 1st participant in the expanded cohort (4th at the given DL), experiences no DLT, the remaining 2 participants can start treatment. If 1/3 participants experience a non-CNS DLT in Cohort B dose level 6, dose escalation will continue to dose level 7, as 3 subjects have already been treated in Cohort A dose level 6 and 7 subjects in Cohort A dose level 7, none of whom experienced non-CNS toxicities. If 2 or more experience DLT in cycle 1, no more participants are started at that dose and the MTD is the highest dose where <2/6 participants develop DLT. If the final dose level is deemed the MTD, 6 participants will be treated at this dose level even if no DLT has been observed.
Receives: Drug: Methoxyamine; Drug: Temozolomide

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose of methoxyamine

    A total of 38 patients were analyzed to determine the maximum tolerated dose of methoxyamine in this study and this was determined in the non-CNS arm. An initial 6 patients received treatment with continuous dosing of methoxyamine and based on an assessment of pharmacokinetics, in this group, the study was revised to administer methoxyamine as a bolus dose. Thirty-eight patients received this type of dosing.

    Measured: Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.

  2. Dose limiting toxicities of the combination of methoxyamine and temozolomide

    The 38 patients receiving bolus dosing of methoxyamine in this trial were used to determine any dose limiting toxicities.

    Measured: Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.

  3. Pharmacokinetics methoxyamine and temozolomide, when given alone or in combination

    Thirty-eight patients were analyzed per the schedule above (after an initial 6 patients treated per an alternative dosing schedule).

    Measured: Blood sampling during cycles 1 and 2 depending upon the PK data from initial subjects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Methoxyamine and Temozolomide in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site 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 14 inclusion and 7 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 22 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Maximum tolerated dose of methoxyamine (time frame: Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.). The study lists 3 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 22 Feb 2019.
