About this study

Official title: Multicenter, Randomized Phase Ⅲa Study of Genetically Modified Recombinant Human Interleukin-11 to Prevent Chemotherapy-induced Thrombocytopenia in Cancer Patients Receiving Chemotherapy.

This phases Ⅲ trials is divided into two stages,Ⅲa and Ⅲb.The aim of Ⅲa is to evaluate the optimal dosing dose of genetically modified recombinant human IL-11 (mIL-11) in a multicenter randomized self-control trial involving 60 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.The aim of Ⅲb is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of genetically modified recombinant human IL-11 (mIL-11), using rhIL-11 as an active control, in a multicenter randomized trial involving 240 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

The investigators recently developed a mutant form of rhIL-11 with improved stability. In in vitro experimental systems, mIL-11 was shown to endure chemical and proteolytic stresses more effectively, while retaining the biological activity of the original rhIL-11. The improved stability of mIL-11 was also demonstrated in the comparative pharmacokinetic study of subcutaneously delivered mIL-11 and rhIL-11 in the rodent and primate models. Based on its improved pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic features. In Phase II study shows that mIL-11 is well tolerated and has thrombopoietic activity equivalent to one third of the clinical dose of rhIL-11, indicating the potential of mIL-11 for use in the treatment of CIT. This study is a phase III, single-blinded, randomized,multicenter,cross-over study designed to evaluate optimal dosing dose and efficacy and safety of mIL-11 on CIT patients receiving suitable chemotherapeutic regimen for treating cancer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing NL201 and rhIL-11 in people with Chemotherapy-induced Thrombocytopenia, run by Beijing Northland Biotech. Co., Ltd. at 5 sites in China.

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 3 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 16 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in China. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Recovery time of platelet counts from below 100x10^9/L raise to more than 100 x10^9/L. (time frame: During 21 days of chemotherapy cycles). 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 16 Sep 2020.
