Show all 9Show fewer
  • Subjects must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent form
  • Women of child-bearing potential must agree to utilize a birth control which results in a failure rate of less that 1% per year during the study; accepted forms of birth control for this study include: injections such as Depo-Provera and Lunelle, implants such as Norplant, and intra-uterine devices

  • Any medical condition that could be aggravated or may cause extreme discomfort during the study period
  • Lesions only on the face, scalp or other sites that would make biopsies not cosmetically acceptable

About this study

Official title: Silicon Phthalocyanine Pc4 for Photodynamic Therapy of Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma: Single and Repeated Photoexposures

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of silicon phthalocyanine 4 and photodynamic therapy in treating patients with stage IA-IIA cutaneous T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses a drug, silicon phthalocyanine 4, that becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light. When the drug is active, cancer cells are killed. This may be effective against cutaneous T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) that can be utilized for a single treatment of Pc 4-PDT (silicon phthalocyanine 4 photo dynamic therapy) on subjects with mycosis fungoides (MF)/cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) stage IA-IIA, by evaluating an accelerated dose escalation protocol consisting of a single exposure to PDT using topically-applied Pc 4 and visible light at a wavelength of 675 nm, followed by assessment of skin biopsies to analyze cellular and molecular changes induced by Pc 4-PDT. (Cohort I)

II. Determine safety and tolerability of repeated light (PDT) exposures after a single application of Pc 4 to a MF/CTCL plaque, using topically-applied Pc 4 and visible light at a wavelength of 675nm, followed by assessment of skin biopsies to analyze cellular and molecular changes induced by Pc 4-PDT. (Cohort II)

III. Identification of targets for assessment of efficacy to assist in planning for a Phase II study.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive silicon phthalocyanine 4 topically and then undergo PDT.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 24 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 30 days.

Being tested
silicon phthalocyanine 4, photodynamic therapy, pharmacological study, laboratory biomarker analysis
Medical subject headings
Lymphoma, T-Cell, Cutaneous, Mycosis Fungoides, Sezary Syndrome

What is being measured

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

  1. MTD of Photodynamic Therapy

    Defined as the dose immediately below the dose in which 2 or more of 6 patients experience a grade 4 toxicity assessed using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0.

    Measured: Up to 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing silicon phthalocyanine 4, photodynamic therapy and pharmacological study in people with Recurrent Cutaneous T-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and Recurrent Mycosis Fungoides/Sezary Syndrome, run by Kevin Cooper MD 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 9 inclusion and 6 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 May 2019. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 May 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

MTD of Photodynamic Therapy (time frame: Up to 30 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 May 2019.
