- Antroquinonol, a novel cyclohexenone compound, is a purified compound from extract of Antrodia camphorata.
- The pharmacological effects of antroquinonol were postulated to exert its antitumorigenesis effects through interactions to primary targets of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/Akt/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK).
- In vivo study in NOD/SCID mice with A549 subcutaneous xenografts consistently showed tumor growth suppression after 2 weeks of oral 30 and 60 mg/kg antroquinonol treatment.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
AntroquinonolDrug
Also called Hocena
Antroquinonol was taken orally, daily, within 15 minutes after a breakfast at the assigned dose level: 50, 100, 200, 300, 450, 600 mg/day for 4 weeks.
Dose Level 1 (4 weeks) : 50 mg Antroquinonol; Dose Level 2 (4 weeks) : 100mg Antroquinonol; Dose Level 3 (4 weeks) : 200mg Antroquinonol; Dose Level 4 (4 weeks) : 300mg Antroquinonol; Dose Level 5 (4 weeks) : 450mg Antroquinonol; Dose Level 6 (4 weeks) : 600mg Antroquinonol.
The accelerated phase ended when either 1 DLT or MT was observed to start standard phase. Study ended when reach the highest dose level or DLT founded.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Antroquinonol | Experimental | 6 dose levels, Dose Level 1 (4 weeks) : 50 mg Antroquinonol; Dose Level 2 (4 weeks) : 100mg Antroquinonol; Dose Level 3 (4 weeks) : 200mg Antroquinonol; Dose Level 4 (4 weeks) : 300mg Antroquinonol; Dose Level 5 (4 weeks) : 450mg Antroquinonol; Dose Level 6 (4 weeks) : 600mg Antroquinonol.
A maximum of 36 patients were planned based on a criteria of a maximum of 6 patients per cohort: 1 to 6 patients were planned for each dose group in the accelerated phase; 3 to 6 patients for each dose group in the standard phase .
The method of dose escalation in the accelerated titration phase continued to the next higher dose level until a patient experienced MT or a DLT. Standard titration phase start with 3+3 patients. Dose escalation proceeded sequentially between cohorts. Receives: Drug: Antroquinonol |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
To Determind the Maximum Tolerable Dose for Antroquinonol
The study design consisted of 2 phases, the accelerated titration phase and the standard titration phase.
During the accelerated titration phase, patients were enrolled in a cohort of 1 new patient for each dose level and treated for 4 weeks at that level. Any DLT or instance of MT during any 4 week treatment at any dose level led to the initiation of standard titration (3+3) phase.
If none of the first 3 patients experienced any DLT, then dose escalation proceeded for the next cohort of patients. If 1 of 3 patients developed DLT, the cohort was expanded to at most 6 patients (another 3 patients added subsequently). If exactly 1 of the 6 patients experienced DLT, then escalation to the next dose level occurred. If more than 1 patient developed DLT in any dose cohort, the dose escalation was withheld and the prior dose level was considered as the MTD unless the present dose level was level 1
Measured: DLT is to be observed during 4 week period
Secondary outcomes (8)
Tmax After Dose
Pharmacokinetic samples will be obtained from all the patients in each dose cohort treated in all phases of the study. Patients will only be sampled during their first treatment cycle only. Individual serum concentration versus (vs) time curves were plotted in 1 graph by dose level on both linear/linear and log10/linear scales. Mean serum concentration vs time curves were also presented in 1 graph for dose levels on both linear/linear and log10/linear scales.

Number of Participants in the PP Population With Better Than SD at Target Lesion, Better Than Non-CR/Non-PD at Non-target Lesion and no New Lesion
Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for overall response by CT: Judgement by total siutation of target, non-target and new lesions.
Meaning of Target lesion: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), Sum down 30% or more from target lesion baseline; Progressive Disease(PD), Sum up at least 20% from smallest value (nadir) and Absolute increase ≥ 5 mm; Stable Disease (SD), Neither enough shrinkage for PR nor enough growth for PD.
non-target lesion: CR: All non-target lesions disappeared and All lymph nodes <10 mm; Non-CR/Non-PD: Non-target lesion(s) still present and Lymph nodes ≥10 mm; PD: Unequivocal progression; New lesion :Unequivocal new cancer lesions Overall SD response should be better than SD at target lesion, better than Non-CR/Non-PD t non-target lesion and no new lesion.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Antroquinonol in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Golden Biotechnology Corporation at 2 sites in Taiwan.
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 11 inclusion and 8 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 21 Jun 2016. 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 Taiwan. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Feb 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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 Determind the Maximum Tolerable Dose for Antroquinonol (time frame: DLT is to be observed during 4 week period). 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 21 Jun 2016.
