About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of AD5.SSTR/TK.RGD; A Tropism Modified Adenovirus Vector for Intraperitoneal Delivery of Therapeutic Genes and Additional Capability of Noninvasive Imaging of Gene Transfer in Patients With Recurrent Ovarian and Other Selected Gynecologic Cancers (Infectivity Enhanced Adenoviral Vectors for Ovarian CA)

In spite of surgical and chemotherapeutic advances, long term survival for advanced and recurrent gynecologic cancers remains dismal and no curative treatment for recurrent disease exists. Novel treatment strategies are needed. This is a study to determine the maximally tolerated dose of and toxicities associated with intraperitoneal delivery of an infectivity enhanced adenovirus that expresses a suicide gene and an gene that allows imaging of gene transfer. This vector will be given in combination with intravenous ganciclovir in patients with recurrent ovarian and other gynecological cancers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ad5.SSTR/TK.RGD and Ganciclovir (GCV) in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by University of Alabama at Birmingham 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2013. 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?

Evaluation for toxicity (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT00964756, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Feb 2013.
