About this study
Official title: A Phase I Dose-Escalation Trial of Oral Hydroxychloroquine Plus Oral Sorafenib to Treat Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Solid Tumors
Patients with recurrent, refractory or metastatic solid tumors have a dismal prognosis with few viable treatment options. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an agent that has been widely used to treat malaria. Because HCQ also inhibits autophagy, a process central to survival of cancer in the face of metabolic stress, including the effects of anti-cancer therapy, it is now in human cancer trials combined with other agents to attempt to boost the efficacy of those agents. Autophagy inhibition improves the activity of sorafenib in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Sorafenib is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor that blocks not only receptor tyrosine kinases such as KIT, VEGFR and PDGFR but also serine/threonine kinases along the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway.
The investigators propose to treat patients with refractory or relapsed solid tumors with sorafenib, to boost its efficacy while attempting to mitigate its toxicity by combining with HCQ.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Sorafenib combined with Hydroxychloroquine in people with Refractory or Relapsed Solid Tumors, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio 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 18 inclusion and 11 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 25 Mar 2016. 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?
Toxicity evaluated according to the common toxicity criteria for adverse events (AEs) (CTCAEv4.0) (time frame: 2 years). 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 25 Mar 2016.
