About this study

Official title: A Multi-center, Open-label, Drug-drug Interaction Study to Assess the Effects of Fluvoxamine on the Pharmacokinetics of ASA404 in Adult Patients With Solid Tumor Malignancies

This trial is designed to study the drug-drug interaction between ASA404 and fluvoxamine, an inhibitor of its metabolic pathway (CYP1A2). The study will consist of two phases. The purpose of the Core Phase is to study the drug drug interaction between fluvoxamine and ASA404. The purpose of the Extension Phase is to provide continued treatment for those patients that have not progressed during the Core Phase and to collect safety data on ASA404 when given in combination with paclitaxel, docetaxel or the paclitaxel plus carboplatin chemotherapy regimen.

What is being measured

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

  1. evaluate the effect of administration of fluvoxamine, a CYP1A2 inhibitor, after 2-cycles of ASA404, on the pharmacokinetics of ASA404

    Measured: approximately 2 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. evaluate the effect of administration of fluvoxamine on the safety profile (incidence of AEs or SAEs generated) of ASA404

    Measured: 4 months

  2. assess the safety (incidence of AEs and SAEs) of ASA404 in combination with paclitaxel, doctaxel or the paclitaxel plus carboplatin chemotherapy regimen in patients with solid tumor malignancies

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Vadimezan™ in people with Solid Tumors, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 4 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 8 inclusion and 16 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

evaluate the effect of administration of fluvoxamine, a CYP1A2 inhibitor, after 2-cycles of ASA404, on the pharmacokinetics of ASA404 (time frame: approximately 2 months). 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 Sep 2011.
