About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Perifosine With Temsirolimus for Recurrent Pediatric Solid Tumors

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of 2 drugs, perifosine in combination with temsirolimus in children with solid tumors. Neither drug is currently part of the standard treatment of solid tumors in children. Both drugs have been tested alone to treat solid tumors in children with little success. There is now new insight that if given together, perifosine and temsirolimus may work together to stop the growth of solid tumors and may also make them shrink. The doctor wants to find out what effects; good and/or bad, perifosine in combination with temsirolimus has on the patient and the cancer. The doctors are testing four different dose schedules of perifosine with temsirolimus and the patient will be asked to partake in one of the dose schedules. The dose schedule will be lower for those enrolled early in the study.

What participants receive

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

  • perifosine + temsirolimusDrug

    The patient will take oral tablets of perifosine at a dose and frequency to be determined their height, weight and time when they enter the study as those entering early will be treated with lower dose levels (dosing frequency will vary from once a week to daily). The patient will receive an intravenous injection of temsirolimus once a week at a dose to be determined by their height, weight and time when they enter the study as those entering early will be treated with lower doses. In addition they will be asked to keep a medicine diary.

Study groups in NCT01049841
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
perifosine + temsirolimusExperimentalThis is a single arm, phase I study. Eligible patients will receive a loading dose of oral perifosine on the first day, followed by a maintenance dose starting on the second day until progression. Each patient is assigned to a group according to their body surface area (BSA). Temsirolimus will be combined with perifosine at four dose levels to determine the MTD for the combination therapy. Temsirolimus dosing will start on the same day as the perifosine load.
Receives: Drug: perifosine + temsirolimus

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of perifosine + temsirolimus combination in children with cancer.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To determine whether pharmacokinetic serum levels of both perifosine and temsirolimus correlate with toxicity.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. To record preliminary data on the efficacy of the perifosine + temsirolimus combination.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. If previously resected tissue is available, determine whether molecular features predict response including, Elevated PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling, Elevated RAS/MAPK signaling, Cell cycle markers

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing perifosine + temsirolimus in people with Pediatric Solid Tumors, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 19 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 10 Mar 2017. 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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of perifosine + temsirolimus combination in children with cancer. (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 NCT01049841, 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 10 Mar 2017.
