About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Multicenter, Phase I/II Clinical Trial to Identify the Modufolin® Dose With Most Favorable Safety Prospect and Confirmed Ability to Mitigate High-Dose Methotrexate Induced Toxicity During Treatment of Osteosarcoma Patients

An open-label, multicenter, phase I/II clinical trial to identify the [6R] 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (arfolitixorin) dose with most favorable safety prospect and confirmed ability to mitigate high-dose methotrexate induced toxicity during treatment of osteosarcoma patients

Read the detailed description

This is a non-blinded, multicenter, exploratory study in osteosarcoma patients. The study focuses on the overall safety of the HDMTX courses given within a Methotrexate, Adriamycin (doxorubin) and cisPlatin (MAP) treatment schedule, which is closely related to the efficacy of the concomitantly administered folate rescue treatment. Additionally the study aimes to collect pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of metotrexate (MTX) in serum, of folate metabolites in plasma and to decide the Modufolin® dose to use in future studies.

Patients are enrolled in the study at the first, third or the fifth HDMTX course in a MAP treatment schedule and receive folate rescue therapy according to a strategy based on the Children's Oncology Group (COG) treatment management recommendations used in study protocol AOST0331.

Folate rescue treatment with Calcium Folinate (SOC) or Modufolin® (MOD) commence 24 h after start of HDMTX administration and then every 6 h until the serum MTX levels are ≤0.1 μmol/L. In case delayed MTX elimination occurs with significant increase in S-creatinine and/or occurrence of oral mucositis or signs of hypo cellular bone marrow, the folate rescue dose and/or the administered hydration will be adjusted in accordance with the COG based MTX toxicity management recommendations.

All patients receives SOC (15 mg/m2) in the first 2 HDMTX courses and MOD in the following 2 courses. Patients are enrolled in one of two MOD dose cohorts: Cohort 1 (15 mg/m2) and Cohort 2 (30 or 7.5 mg/m2 depending on outcome of Cohort 1). Only patients with successful advancements from the first 2 HDMTX courses with Calcium Folinate are allowed to continue with MOD as rescue in the following MAP cycle.

Safety data will be reviewed by an independent board, Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) that will assess each patient and made recommendations regarding the enrolment of subsequent patients. Furthermore, the DSMB will make a dose level recommendation for Cohort 2 and also a recommendation whether younger children may be allowed in this cohort.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Calcium Folinate and [6R] 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (arfolitixorin) in people with Osteosarcoma, run by Isofol Medical AB at 5 sites in 4 countries.

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 0 inclusion and 10 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 25 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Sweden. 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 26 Jun 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?

Number of AEs Per Severity (All Courses) (time frame: From the start of HDMTX administration through 8 days post dose for each course of HDMTX in total). The study lists 4 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 25 Sep 2020.
