About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study of Liposome Encapsulated Docetaxel (LE-DT) in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Liposome Encapsulated Docetaxel (LE-DT) is a novel proprietary delivery system of docetaxel developed by NeoPharm, Inc. In this Phase I study, the LE-DT was evaluated for the maximum tolerated dose and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) in patients with advance solid tumors. It was also evaluated for pharmacokinetic and anti-tumor effects.

Read the detailed description

Liposome Entrapped Doxetaxel (LE-DT) is a novel, proprietary delivery system of docetaxel developed by NeoPharm, Inc. Docetaxel (currently marketed as Taxotere®) is an anti-microtubule agent that prevents cell division by promoting the assembly and stabilization of microtubules and is used for the treatment of malignancies from breast, prostate, lung, gastric, head and neck. By removing toxic detergent used in Taxotere®, LE-DT showed reduced toxicity and comparable therapeutic efficacy in preclinical studies. In clinic, it is believed that LE-DT will offer advantages to the patient of fewer side effects at similar doses, and possibly greater effectiveness when used at higher doses. In addition, routine premedication to prevent hypersensitivity may not be required.

This study is designed to determine the following:

  • The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of LE-DT.
  • The pharmacokinetics of docetaxel following intravenous administration of LE-DT.
  • Any anti-tumor effects of LE-DT.

Up to 5 dose levels have been studied.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the tolerability and safety

    This Phase I, open-label, dose-escalation study was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of LE-DT in patients with advanced cancer. LE-DT was administered by intravenous infusion, over 1 hour, once every 21 days until occurrence of disease progression or toxicity requiring early treatment discontinuation. Dose escalation was not done until the safety and tolerability at a given dose level has been confirmed.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To evaluate the pharmacokinetic and anti-tumor effect

    The patients were evaluated for pharmacokinetic profile upto 48 hours post treatment after cycle 1. The anti-tumor effects were evaluated after every two cycles of treatment.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing LE-DT in people with Solid Tumors, run by INSYS Therapeutics Inc at 2 sites 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 15 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 4 Jul 2011. 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 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?

To evaluate the tolerability and safety (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT01151384, 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 4 Jul 2011.
