About this study

Official title: A Phase I Open-label, Dose-escalation Study to Investigate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Clinical Activity of the PI3K Inhibitor WX-037, Given as a Single Agent and in Combination With the MEK Inhibitor WX-554, in Patients With Solid Tumors

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of escalating doses of the novel PI3K inhibitor WX-037 and to explore its effectiveness in combination with WX-554 which targets mitogen activated protein kinase (MEK1 and MEK2). Preclinical evidence indicates that these two novel compounds could provide targeted inhibition of both pathways to block tumour growth.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Dose limiting toxicities

    Measured: during cycle 1 (21days) of treatment with WX-037

  2. Incidence of Dose Limiting toxicities

    Measured: during cycle 1 (21 days) of treatment with WX-037 and WX-554

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of patients with adverse Events and serious adverse events

    Measured: from cycle 1 day 1 until treatment discontinuation, an estimated average of 18 weeks

  2. Assessment of PK variables, peak plasma concentration (Cmax), area under the curve (AUC)

    Measured: two PK profiles in cycle 1

  3. Determination of PD markers; changes from baseline in biomarkers of pathway inhibition

    Measured: predose until treatment discontinuation, an estimated average of 18 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing WX-037 and WX-554 in people with Advanced Solid Tumours, run by Heidelberg Pharma AG at 3 sites in United Kingdom.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United Kingdom. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Study terminated for business reasons). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Incidence of Dose limiting toxicities (time frame: during cycle 1 (21days) of treatment with WX-037). 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 2014.
