About this study

Official title: Phase Ib Study of Dovitinib in Combination With Gemcitabine Plus Cisplatin or Gemcitabine Plus Carboplatin in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This is a phase Ib dose escalation study of dovitinib given in combination with either gemcitabine plus cisplatin or carboplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients with advanced solid tumors, for whom treatment with gemcitabine plus cisplatin or carboplatin would otherwise be warranted, will be enrolled. The dose of dovitinib will be escalated in successive cohorts using standard "3+3" dose escalation rules. Patients will continue treatment, in the absence of prohibitive toxicity, until disease progression. The study will define the recommended phase II dose of these combination regimens.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase Ib study of dovitinib given in combination with gemcitabine plus cisplatin or carboplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors. This study will utilize standard 3+3 dose escalation rules to define the recommended phase II dose. Dose escalation will proceed independently in the two cohorts (cisplatin cohort: gemcitabine + cisplatin + dovitinib; carboplatin cohort: gemcitabine + carboplatin + dovitinib). Patients will receive treatment for up to 6 cycles, in the absence of toxicity, until disease progression

Primary Objective:

To determine the recommended phase II dose of dovitinib given in combination with gemcitabine plus cisplatin or carboplatin.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To determine the response rate to treatment as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)
  • To determine the toxicity of treatment at per the Common Terminology for Adverse Events (CTCAE v4)
  • To determine the pharmacokinetics of dovitinib in combination with gemcitabine plus cisplatin or carboplatin.

What is being measured

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

  1. Recommended phase II dose of combination regimen

    The primary objectives of this study are to determine the recommended phase II dose of dovitinib given in combination with gemcitabine plus carboplatin or cisplatin.

    Measured: Within the first 21 days of treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Antitumor activity

    A CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis will be performed after every 2 cycles (or sooner if there is evidence of disease progression) while on combination therapy until disease progression (eg, after cycle 2, after cycle 4, and after cycle 6). Response to treatment will be determined using RECIST.

    Measured: After every 2 cycles (42 days) of combination therapy up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cisplatin and Carboplatin in people with Solid Tumors and Bladder Cancer, run by Matthew Galsky 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 13 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 27 Nov 2013. 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 was stopped early (reason given: toxicity of combination of medications). 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?

Recommended phase II dose of combination regimen (time frame: Within the first 21 days of treatment). 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 NCT01496534, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 27 Nov 2013.
