What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or establish the recommended phase two dose (RPTD)

    Measured: From first study drug dose and at each weekly treatment visit until dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) observed or completion of dosing period (anticipated to be approximately 5 weeks).

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Assess the safety (number of participants with adverse events and types of adverse events observed)

    Measured: From screening and ongoing at each weekly treatment visit through dosing period (anticipated to be approximately 5 weeks), prior to surgery and at the final visit.

  2. Assess the tolerability (number of participants with adverse events and types of adverse events observed)

    Measured: From first study drug dose and ongoing at each weekly treatment visit, through completion of dosing period (anticipated to be approximately 5 weeks).

  3. Assess the pharmacokinetic profile by area under the curve vs. dose of veliparib

    Measured: Multiple measurements over time points (0, .5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 hours post dose) Day 1, Day 2 and at the pre-dose time point on Day 5 and week 2 visit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing veliparib, capecitabine and radiation in people with Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer, run by AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott) at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 6 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 20 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States, Australia. 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?

Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or establish the recommended phase two dose (RPTD) (time frame: From first study drug dose and at each weekly treatment visit until dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) observed or completion of dosing period (anticipated to be approximately 5 weeks).). 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 NCT01589419, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Nov 2017.
