Trial summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to study an experimental drug called PTP-01 that is being used as an imaging agent to diagnosis pancreatic cancer. Currently, pancreatic cancer is diagnosed using CT or MRI scans which miss small pancreatic cancers, particularly early stage disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase 0, Open Label Study to Evaluate the Biodistribution and Pharmacokinetics of a Single Intravenous Bolus Dose of PTP-01 in Subjects With Resectable Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

The purpose of this clinical trial is to study an experimental drug called PTP-01 that is being used as an imaging agent to diagnosis pancreatic cancer. Currently, pancreatic cancer is diagnosed using CT or MRI scans which miss small pancreatic cancers, particularly early stage disease. Researchers at the University of Virginia have identified a biomarker for pancreatic cancer called plectin, which is very specific for pancreatic cancer and not other, non-cancerous conditions involving the pancreas. These researchers have also developed PTP-01, an experimental drug that may be used with SPECT imaging to detect pancreatic cancer cells in humans.

What participants receive

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

  • PTP-01Drug

    Dose level 1 is 10mCi (50ug of peptide)

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PTP-01Experimentalsingle IV bolus dose 24 hours prior to surgery
Receives: Drug: PTP-01

What is being measured

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

  1. Ability of PTP-01 to detect pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

    requires a signal to background ratio of greater than or equal to 2:1 following a single intravenous bolus of PTP-01

    Measured: up to 72 hours post dose

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Biodistribution and Binding Characteristics of PTP-01

    Assessments will be made from imaging (whole body planar and SPECT/CT) and blood draws following PTP-01 dose. Tissue samples will also be retained for pathology.

    Measured: up to 7 days post dose

  2. Clearance of PTP-01

    Blood and urine samples will be collected to measure the level of radioactivity at specified intervals following PTP-01 dose.

    Measured: up to 7 days post dose

  3. Safety and Tolerability of PTP-01

    Clincial labs, ECGs, vital signs and physical exams will be performed up to 7 days post dose. Adverse events will be collected up to 30 days post dose.

    Measured: up to 30 days post dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing PTP-01 in people with Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, run by University of Virginia 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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Mar 2016. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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: From preliminary imaging data, the study was stopped due to futility.). 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?

Ability of PTP-01 to detect pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (time frame: up to 72 hours post dose). 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 18 Mar 2016.
