About this study
Official title: Phase 0 Trial Evaluating the Effect of Temsirolimus on Known Pharmacodynamic Targets
The goal of this clinical research trial is to study the effects of the FDA-approved drug, temsirolimus, using a new type of clinical study design called a "Phase 0." This type of study may be able to predict if a drug can affect cancer and may be able to prevent potentially useful study drugs from being discarded before they are fully tested.
The purpose of the study is not to treat the cancer, but to help improve general cancer treatment knowledge.
Read the detailed description
Study Drug:
Temsirolimus is designed to block the growth of cancer cells, which may cause the cancer cells to die.
Study Drug Administration:
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will receive temsirolimus by vein over about 60 minutes on Day 1.
You will be assigned to a dose level of temsirolimus based on when you join this study. Up to 5 dose levels of temsirolimus will be tested. Up to 3 participants will be enrolled at each dose level. The first group of participants will receive the lowest dose level. Each new group will receive a higher dose than the group before it, until the drug is found to affect the enzyme that was tested for at screening.
Study Visits:
At each study visit, you will be asked about any drugs you may be taking and about any side effects you may be having.
On Day 1:
-Blood (about 2 teaspoons each time) will be drawn before you receive the study drug and 5 times over the 24 hours after you receive the study drug for pharmacokinetic (PK) testing. PK testing measures the amount of study drug in the body at different time points.
Blood (about 4 teaspoons each time) will be drawn for pharmacodynamic (PD) testing. PD testing measures how the level of study drug in your body may affect the disease. This blood will be drawn at 1 or more of the following times, but if the doctor thinks it is needed, blood will be drawn at 2 or all 3 of the following times:
- At 4 hours (+/- 2 hours) after the dose
- At 24 hours (+/- 3 hours) after the dose
- At 72 hours (+/- 24 hours) after the dose
After the blood for PD testing has been tested and the tests show that the study drug may be causing changes to the tumor cells in at least 2 out of 3 participants, future participants will have tumor tissue collected before and after dosing for testing. Leftover tissue from an earlier biopsy can be used instead of a fresh biopsy before dosing, if it is available.
Length of Study:
You will be on study for up to 4 days. You will be taken off study early if you have intolerable side effects.
Because it takes 4 days for temsirolimus to be completely processed by the body, you will not be able to begin receiving drugs in any other study until 4 days after the dose.
This is an investigational study. Temsirolimus is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of advanced renal cancer. Its use in other types of cancer is investigational.
Up to 30 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Participants' Pharmacodynamic (PD) Responses
PD response, significant S6 Kinase 1 (S6K1) inhibition, is defined at both the patient level and the dose level, 1) as compared with baseline, at least 50% reductions of S6K1 after treatment (biological criterion); 2) differences in log transformed S6K1 activity between post-treatment and baseline should be greater than threshold of 1.8 times standard deviation (SD) of baseline, which yields a 90% statistical confidence that it is not due to chance variation (statistical criterion).
Measured: Blood drawn at 4 hours (+/- 2 hours) after study drug

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Early Phase 1 study testing Temsirolimus in people with Advanced Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 23 Jun 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?
Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.
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?
Participants' Pharmacodynamic (PD) Responses (time frame: Blood drawn at 4 hours (+/- 2 hours) after study drug). 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 23 Jun 2014.
