Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced solid tumor for which no efficacious therapy exists, or for which a camptothecin-based regimen would be appropriate.
  • For the dose expansion at MTD/RD only:
  • The patient must have failed oxaliplatin-based first line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer. This includes patients who failed oxaliplatin-based therapy with progressive disease, as well as patients who, based on toxicity or MD/patient discretion, are no longer candidates for oxaliplatin. Patients who failed adjuvant therapy with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy regimens within one year of last dose of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy will also be considered eligible for this study.
  • Patients must have had no more than one prior chemotherapy regimen in the metastatic setting. Patients who had radiosensitizing chemotherapy during radiation treatment will not have this treatment count as a prior chemotherapy regimen.
  • Patients must have measurable disease by RECIST (version 1.1).
  • Patient must have recovered from all acute adverse effects of prior therapies, excluding alopecia.

  • For patients enrolled in the dose escalation phase, no more than 4 prior cytotoxic regimens in the metastatic setting.
  • Prior irradiation to no more than 25% of the bone marrow.
  • ECOG performance status of 0-1.
  • Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
  • Patients are at least 18 years of age.
  • Adequate bone marrow function as defined by ANC ≥ 1500/mm^3 and platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm^3.
  • AST and ALT ≤ 3.0 x ULN (5 x ULN if documented liver metastases) and total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN.
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN, or creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault formula* for patients with serum creatinine > 1.5 x ULN.

  • Able to understand and show willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Who cannot join

  • Prior chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or investigational therapy within 4 weeks (exception: 6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C); or prior non-cytotoxic therapy within 5 drug half-lives (or 4 weeks, which ever is shorter); or monoclonal antibodies within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment.

  • History of brain metastases or spinal cord compression, unless irradiated or treated a minimum of 4 weeks prior to first study treatment and stable without requirement of corticosteroids for > 1 week.
  • Concurrent serious infections requiring parenteral antibiotic therapy.
  • Pregnant or of childbearing potential and not using methods to avoid pregnancy. A negative pregnancy test must be documented at baseline for women of childbearing potential. Patients may not breast-feed infants while on this study.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of NK012 in Combination With Infusional 5-fluorouracil and Leucovorin in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors Followed by a Dose Expansion Phase in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase II dose of the combination regimen of NK012 and 5-fluorouracil in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

On Day 1 of each 28 day cycle, NK012 will be administered as a 30 minute IV infusion, followed by continuous infusion of 5-FU over 46 hours. On Day 15 of each cycle, patients again receive 5-FU continuous infusion. Treatment is expected to continue for 6 cycles, unless disease progression or the development of unacceptable toxicity requires discontinuation of the drug. At the discretion of the investigator, patients who show signs of benefit may continue beyond 6 cycles.

Once a MTD/RD has been determined for the combination regimen, a dose expansion cohort of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer will be treated at the determined MTD.

(Prior to Amendment 2, patients were receiving NK012 and 5-FU and leucovorin (LV). The dosing regimen was changed as of Amendment 2 to NK012 and 5-FU.)

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with dose-limiting toxicity as determinant of the maximum tolerated dose/recommended dose

    Measured: From date of first dose to off-study (or 30 days since last dose)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of patients with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Measured: From date of first dose to off-study (or 30 days since last dose)

  2. Tumor measurements, as a measure of efficacy

    Efficacy, based on RECIST 1.1, will be assessed in all solid tumors, and in a specific subset of patients with colorectal cancer

    Measured: Baseline, then every on average every 2 months until off-study

  3. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of NK012 and fluorouracil

    Measured: 15,30min, 1,6,24,46.5,48,72hrs, Wk1,2,3,4 of cycle 1

  4. Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of NK012 and fluorouracil

    Measured: 15,30min, 1,6,24,46.5,72hrs, week 1,2,3,4 of cycle 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing NK012 and 5-FU in people with Advanced Solid Tumors and Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, run by Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd. 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 16 inclusion and 9 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 13 Nov 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?

Number of patients with dose-limiting toxicity as determinant of the maximum tolerated dose/recommended dose (time frame: From date of first dose to off-study (or 30 days since last dose)). 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 13 Nov 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
