About this study

Official title: A Pivotal Bioequivalence Study of DOXIL®/CAELYX® Manufactured at a New Site in Subjects With Advanced or Refractory Solid Malignancies Including Subjects With Ovarian Cancer

The purpose of this study is to support the qualification of a replacement manufacturing site for DOXIL/CAELYX.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized (study medication is assigned by chance), open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), single dose, 2-cycle, crossover (method used to switch participants from one treatment arm to another in a clinical study), and bioequivalence (biological equivalence of two formulations of a study medication) study of DOXIL/CAELYX in participants with advanced or refractory solid malignancies (including at least 24 participants with ovarian cancer). This study has an adaptive 2-stage design. Bioequivalence based on encapsulated doxorubicin will be tested at the end of Stage 1 using data from at least 24 participants with ovarian cancer. An interim analysis of free doxorubicin will be performed at the end of Stage 1 using data from 42 participants of all cancer types. The study may continue into Stage 2 with additional participants of all cancer types; and final evaluation of bioequivalence for free doxorubicin will be performed at the end of Stage 2. The study will include a screening phase (within 28 days before the first study medication administration) followed by the treatment phase consisting of 2 doxorubicin treatment cycles (28 days each) and an end-of-treatment visit on Day 58. Participants may enter an optional extension phase after 2 cycles. Safety will be evaluated by the assessment of adverse events, vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram, clinical laboratory testing, and left ventricular ejection fraction (measurement of the percentage of blood leaving the heart each time when it contracts) throughout the study. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be obtained from all participants at specified times over 29 days after starting each study drug administration in Cycles 1 and 2 for determination of plasma concentrations of encapsulated and free doxorubicin.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of encapsulated doxorubicin

    Cmax is defined as the maximum observed analyte concentration.

    Measured: Predose, and postdose Day 1 (Minutes 15, 30, 60, 90, 95, 105; Hours 2, 3, 4, 6, 8), Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 15, 22, and 26 (for Cycles 1 and 2)

  2. Time to reach the maximum observed plasma concentration (Tmax) of encapsulated doxorubicin

    Tmax is defined as the actual sampling time to reach maximum observed analyte concentration.

    Measured: Predose, and postdose Day 1 (Minutes 15, 30, 60, 90, 95, 105; Hours 2, 3, 4, 6, 8), Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 15, 22, and 26 (for Cycles 1 and 2)

  3. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinite time (AUC[0-infinity]) of encapsulated doxorubicin

    AUC(0-infinity) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinite time, calculated as the sum of the Area Under the Curve (AUC) last and AUC(last)/lambda, in which AUC(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration.

    Measured: Predose, and postdose Day 1 (Minutes 15, 30, 60, 90, 95, 105; Hours 2, 3, 4, 6, 8), Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 15, 22, and 26 (for Cycles 1 and 2)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of free doxorubicin

    Cmax is defined as maximum observed analyte concentration.

    Measured: Predose, and postdose Day 1 (Minutes 15, 30, 60, 90, 95, 105; Hours 2, 3, 4, 6, 8), Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 15, 22, and 26 (for Cycles 1 and 2)

  2. Time to reach the maximum observed plasma concentration (T max) of free doxorubicin

    Tmax is defined as actual sampling time to reach maximum observed analyte concentration.

    Measured: Predose, and postdose Day 1 (Minutes 15, 30, 60, 90, 95, 105; Hours 2, 3, 4, 6, 8), Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 15, 22, and 26 (for Cycles 1 and 2)

  3. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinite time (AUC[0 - infinity]) of free doxorubicin

    AUC(0-infinity) is area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinite time, calculated as the sum of Area under Curve (AUC) last and AUC(last)/lambda, in which AUC(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration.

    Measured: Predose, and postdose Day 1 (Minutes 15, 30, 60, 90, 95, 105; Hours 2, 3, 4, 6, 8), Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 15, 22, and 26 (for Cycles 1 and 2)

  4. Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Measured: Up to Day 86

  5. Number of participants with response to the study medication at End-of-Treatment visit (Day 58)

    The investigator will determine the response to the study medication as Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR) or Stable Disease (SD) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). As per the RECIST, CR is defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions, PR is defined as 30% or more decrease in the sum of longest diameter of all target lesions from the baseline sum; and SD is defined as none of the CR and PR.

    Measured: Day 58 or 30 days after the last dose of the study medication for early withdrawal participants

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing DOXIL/CAELYX reference product (Treatment A) and DOXIL/CAELYX test product (Treatment B) in people with Neoplasms, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 6 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 11 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Belgium, Spain, United States, Canada. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) of encapsulated doxorubicin (time frame: Predose, and postdose Day 1 (Minutes 15, 30, 60, 90, 95, 105; Hours 2, 3, 4, 6, 8), Days 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 15, 22, and 26 (for Cycles 1 and 2)). The study lists 3 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 11 Nov 2016.
