About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Study Evaluating the Tolerance and Biologic Activity of Oral Ciclopirox Olamine in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Hematologic Malignancy

This is an open-label, single arm study. Approximately 3-30 patients will be enrolled. Patients will receive Oral ciclopirox olamine (aqueous suspension), initial starting dose of 5 mg/m2/day administered as a single dose daily for 5 days. Three patients will initially be treated at each dose level in sequential cohorts. Dose escalation will continue for each subsequent cohort based on toxicity and plasma drug concentrations observed during the previous cohort. Dose escalation will continue until establishment of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) has been met.

Patients who have demonstrated response to treatment, up to 6 total cycles of treatment may be administered. If additional cycles are warranted, ciclopirox olamine will be given at the same dose and frequency as the patient initially received.

What participants receive

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

  • Ciclopirox OlamineDrug

    Patients will take Ciclopirox Olamine at various doses depending on which dose level they come into the study at. Ciclopirox olamine will be administered orally as an aqueous suspension without food. The starting dose will be 5 mg/m2/day administered as a single dose daily for 5 days (one cycle). Once a MTD has been determined, the new patients that enter into the trial will then take it at that level.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the dose-limiting toxicity, maximum tolerated dose, and recommended phase II dose of ciclopirox olamine.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. To evaluate maximum tolerated dose.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. To evaluate recommended phase II dose of ciclopirox olamine.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To determine the pharmacodynamic effects of ciclopirox olamine on survivin expression, and relate to the steady-state plasma concentrations of ciclopirox olamine.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. To determine the response rate of ciclopirox olamine.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ciclopirox olamine in patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancy.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ciclopirox Olamine in people with Hematologic Malignancy and Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, run by University Health Network, Toronto at 2 sites in Canada.

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 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 22 Jun 2015. 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 Canada. 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?

To evaluate the dose-limiting toxicity, maximum tolerated dose, and recommended phase II dose of ciclopirox olamine. (time frame: 2 years). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00990587, 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 22 Jun 2015.
