About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of WST11-mediated Vascular Targeted Photodynamic Therapy in Non-resectable or Inoperable Cholangiocarcinoma

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety of Vascular Targeted Photodynamic therapy with WST11 in patients with non-resectable or inoperable biliary carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, prospective, multicentre, phase IIa study, evaluating a new therapeutic agent in the management of patients suffering from inoperable or non resectable biliary carcinoma. The patients will receive the dose of WST11 according to order of inclusion. The first 3 patients will receive 2.5 mg/kg. In the absence of toxicity, the following 9 patients will receive the dose of 5 mg/kg.

The patient is to receive anesthesia. WST11-mediated therapy will consist of the combination of single IV administration of WST11 at doses of 2.5mg/kg or 5mg/kg, using 753nm laser light at a fixed power of (150mW/cm) and light energy (200 J/cm) delivered through a diffusing fiber. The fiber is introduced in a transparent standard ERCP catheter and positioned under radioscopy in front of the lesion.

What participants receive

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

  • WST11Drug

    Also called WST11-mediated VTP

    WST11-mediated VTP will consist of the combination of a single IV administration of WST11 at doses of 2.5 and 5 mg/kg, using 753nm laser light at a fixed power (150 mW/cm) and light energy (200 J/cm). Illumination in the bile duct is performed by inserting a diffusing fiber, with cylindrical uniform light distribution, in a transparent standard ERCP catheter and by positioning, under radioscopy, the illumination tip of the diffusing fiber in front of the lesion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the safety based on analysis of adverse events , clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, physical examination, absence of local or general complications and phototoxicity of WST11 in inoperable or non resectable cholangiocarcinoma

    Measured: Patient inclusion - Month 6

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Evaluation of the antitumor efficacy of WST11-mediated VTP therapy by comparing the objective response rate on the tumor.

    Measured: Month 1, Month 3 & Month 6

  2. Evaluation of the effect of WST11-mediated VTP therapy on cholestasis and on the incidence of biliary complications of obstructive origin.

    Measured: Month 1, Month 3 & Month 6

  3. Evaluation of the effect of treatment on patient quality of life QLQ-C30.

    Measured: Month 1, Month 3 & Month 6

  4. Evaluation of the global survival after WST11-mediated VTP

    Measured: Month 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing WST11 in people with Cholangiocarcinoma, run by Steba Biotech S.A. at 1 site in France.

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 9 inclusion and 16 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2016. 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 France. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Early end of enrolment with regards to difficulty met to enrol patients .). 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?

Evaluation of the safety based on analysis of adverse events , clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, physical examination, absence of local or general complications and phototoxicity of WST11 in inoperable or non resectable cholangiocarcinoma (time frame: Patient inclusion - Month 6). 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 18 Apr 2016.
