What participants receive

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

    3mg/m2 or 4 mg/m2 at light doses of 150, 175 and 200 joules/cm

Light Dose EscalationExperimentalLight Dose escalated from 150 joules/cm to 200 joules/cm
Receives: Drug: HPPH

What is being measured

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

  1. Optimal Light Dose

    Using toxicity to normal surrounding tissue as a determinant and using two HPPH doses of PDT in HGD, CIS or early adenocarcinoma in Barrett's esophagus, to determine the optimal light dose at each HPPH dose

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Toxicity to normal surrounding tissue

    To determine the tocixity to normal surrounding tissue of treating at approximately 24 hours(21-26hr) post injection of HPPH

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Comparing HPPH to Photofrin

    To determine the length of time of cutaneous photosensitivity of HPPH compared to historical data on Photofrin

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Effect of injection

    To determine the effect of a 24 hours interval between injection of HPPH and light treatment

    Measured: 24 hours

  4. Efficacy of Treatment

    A secondary objective is to determine efficacy of treatment at each set of paraments, i.e. ability to completely resolve the CIS, HGD or early cancer.

    Measured: 5 years

  5. Resolve Barrett's mucosa

    An Additional secondary objective is to determine ability of PDT to resolve the Barrett's mucosa

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HPPH in people with Barrett's Esophagus and CIS, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute 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 9 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 2 Dec 2014. 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?

Optimal Light Dose (time frame: 24 hours). 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 2 Dec 2014.
