What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FolotynDrug

    Also called Pralatrexate

    A cycle of Folotyn treatment is 28 days, with treatment on Days 1 and 15 in each cycle.

  • FusilevDrug

    Also called Levoleucovorin

    Fusilev will be administered either four times a day (QID) (6 hours apart, ±10 minutes), twice a day (BID) (8 hours apart, ±10 minutes) or once a day (QD) by IV push (3-5 minutes) at a dose of 5 mg/m2 according to the cohort to which patients are assigned.

What is being measured

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

  1. Optimal dose and Schedule of Fusilev to prevent or reduce Oral Mucositis

    The study period will begin on the first day of Folotyn treatment (Day 1). Folotyn will be administered intravenously (IV) at a dose of 190 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 15 in a 28-day treatment cycle. Twenty-four hours after the Folotyn dose, Fusilev will be administered either four times a day (QID) (6 hours apart, ±10 minutes), twice a day (BID) (8 hours apart, ±10 minutes) or once a day (QD) by IV push (3-5 minutes) at a dose of 5 mg/m2 according to the cohort to which patients are assigned. Within a given cohort, Fusilev will be administered at the same dose and schedule after each Folotyn dose for the duration of the study.

    Measured: Up to 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Impact of Fusilev on the number of Folotyn-related dose modifications secondary to oral mucositis

    Analysis will involve the number, percent and type of Folotyn dose modification as a function of Fusilev dose.

    Measured: Up to 8 weeks

  2. Impact of Fusilev on the frequency of Oral Mucositis

    Distribution of the number of cases of oral mucositis will be described by cohort and by degree of mucositis.

    Measured: Up to 8 weeks

  3. Impact of Fusilev on use of Analgesics for Oral Mucositis

    Oral mucositis assessment form will be provided by the sponsor and is to be completed during treatment visits on day 1 \& 15, days 4 \&18, end of treatment visits. Patients will complete an Oral Mucositis Daily Questionnaire (OMDQ) starting at Day 1 of Cycle 1 and ending at the End of Treatment visit. Oral mucositis assessment will be assessed in the clinic by the investigator, or designee, and graded according to AE severity as established in the NCI CTCAE scale, Version 4.0.

    Measured: Up to 8 weeks

  4. Impact of Fusilev on number of Folotyn doses delivered

    All treatment-emergent AEs will be managed per the investigator's judgment or the site's clinical standard of care. Folotyn decrease dose modifications will be made based on Hematologic Adverse Events (absolute neutrophil count) and Non- Hematologic Adverse events (CTCAE v.4) excluding nausea/vomiting for dose adjustments

    Measured: Up to 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Folotyn and Fusilev in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Acrotech Biopharma Inc..

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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Optimal dose and Schedule of Fusilev to prevent or reduce Oral Mucositis (time frame: Up to 8 weeks). 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 23 Jan 2020.
