About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of the Safety, Distribution, and Radiation Dosimetry of Ultratrace Iobenguane 123I-mIBG-Nanodosing: the Path to Higher Sensitivity and Lower Toxicity Radiopharmaceuticals

The goal of this proposal is to produce and test high specific activity Ultratrace iobenguane I 123 in normal human volunteers.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this proposal is to produce and test high specific activity Ultratrace iobenguane I 123 in normal human volunteers. The low specific activity iobenguane I 123 has been shown to be useful for the detection and staging of neuroendocrine tumors in adults and children and imaging neuronal activity in the heart. The innovation in this proposal is through the use of patented solid phase technology to produce a proven diagnostic agent at extremely high specific activity to increase sensitivity and specificity and lower radiation exposure to normal organs without the pharmacologically active cold carrier compound. The FDA considers iobenguane labeled with two different isotopes of iodine [I-131 and I-123] as two distinct drugs requiring distinct regulatory applications.

To meet the required quality standards for the chemistry, manufacturing and controls component of an IND application, GMP quality polymer drug precursor is used to generate the Ultratrace diagnostic iodine-123 agent. Analytical methods were validated with the proposed final drug formulation to demonstrate the final drug does not interfere with tests used to define the identity, purity, and strength of the agent. The drug product was verified for apyrogenicity and sterility before human testing. The IND application was written and submitted to the FDA and the Duke Medical Center IRB. MIP produces clinical trial material, and will conduct human testing of the radioactive drug substance for safety and superiority compared to conventional iobenguane I 123 in normal healthy volunteers.

What is being measured

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

  1. Radiation dosimetry

    Radiation dosimetry was measured by imaging at several time points. Blood and urine samples were also collected to correlate with imaging parameters. Side effects were also assessed after drug administration.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing no carrier added metaiodobenzylguanidine in people with Neuroendocrine Tumors and Heart Failure, run by Bennett Chin 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 6 inclusion and 9 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 21 Nov 2012. 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?

Radiation dosimetry (time frame: 2 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 NCT01730417, 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 21 Nov 2012.
