About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Multicenter, Open-label, Dose-Escalation, Safety and Tolerance, and Pharmacokinetic Study of Intravenously Administered CX-3543,on a Daily x 5, Repeated Every 3 Weeks Schedule, in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors or Lymphomas

This phase 1 study of CX-3543 is designed to test the safety, tolerability and highest safe dose level of this drug in patients with advanced solid tumor cancers.

Read the detailed description

CX-4945 is a first-in-class small-molecule targeted cancer therapeutic derived from the validated fluoroquinolone class of drugs. This drug was rationally designed to target a G-quadruplex (QPLX) DNA structure and disrupt protein-DNA interactions essential to cancer cells. The QPLX targeted by quarfloxin forms within ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and the QPLX is bound by the nucleolin protein.This Phase 1 study of CX-3543 is designed to test the safety, tolerability and highest safe dose level of this drug in patients with advanced solid tumor cancers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CX-3543 in people with Advanced Solid Tumors and Lymphoma, run by Cylene Pharmaceuticals 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 13 inclusion and 12 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 10 Aug 2009. 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?

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 (MTD) and Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) (time frame: Cycle 1). 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 10 Aug 2009.
