What participants receive

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

  • AzixaDrug

    Also called MPC-6827

    3.3 mg/m2 of Azixa administered by intravenous infusion over 2 hours once weekly for 3 consecutive weeks every 4 weeks (1 cycle = 4 weeks)

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the progression-free survival (PFS) rate

    Measured: Six 28-day cycles from start of therapy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall survival

    Measured: 36 months

  2. Overall response rate

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Azixa in people with Glioblastoma Multiforme, run by Myrexis Inc. at 10 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 5 inclusion and 11 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 14 Oct 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 progression-free survival (PFS) rate (time frame: Six 28-day cycles from start of therapy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00892931, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 14 Oct 2011.
