About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Dose-escalation Study of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of Weekly Intravenous Briciclib in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

The main objectives of this study are to determine the safety profile of briciclib, an experimental anti-cancer drug, as it is administered intravenously once weekly as escalating doses in adult patients with advanced cancer and solid tumors, and to determine the highest dose of briciclib that can be safely given. Secondary objectives are to determine how the amount of briciclib in circulation changes over time and how much briciclib gets into the urine for excretion, and to document potential anti-tumor effects of briciclib.

Read the detailed description

This will be a Phase I, 2-stage, open-label, dose-escalating, multicenter study of the 2-hour, once-a-week intravenous (IV) administration of briciclib in 3-week cycles, in up to 54 adult patients with advanced cancer and solid tumors. The study will be conducted in 2 stages: a dose-escalation stage to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and a Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RPTD) confirmation stage. Patients with stable disease (SD) or response may remain treated on study until progression.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
briciclibExperimentalThe starting dose of briciclib in the Escalation Stage will be 17 mg/week, with subsequent dose escalation levels of 35 mg, 70 mg, 140 mg, 280 mg, 560 mg, and 1120 mg. The dose of briciclib in the RPTD Confirmation Stage will be the dose as determined during the escalation stage. At each dose level, briciclib will be administered as a 2-hour intravenous infusion, once-a-week per 3-week cycles.
Receives: Drug: briciclib

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with adverse events

    Adverse events will be grouped by system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) using the most recent version of the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA), and will be summarized by worst grade according to NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 4.0.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  2. Number of patients with Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    Dose-limiting toxicity is defined as an adverse event that is considered to be drug-related and meets one of the Protocol definitions.

    Measured: Up to 3 weeks

  3. Maximum Tolerated Dose

    Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) will be defined during the Dose Escalation Stage based on evaluation of the number of patients with Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT). The MTD will be used to determine the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RPTD).

    Measured: 3 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Concentration of briciclib in the plasma

    The amount of briciclib in the plasma of patients in the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RPTD) Confirmation stage only will be measured by a validated Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (LC-MS) method. Pharmacokinetic parameters will be derived from the concentration versus time values.

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Concentration of briciclib in the urine

    The amount of briciclib in the urine of patients in the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RPTD) Confirmation stage only will be measured by a validated Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (LC-MS) method. Pharmacokinetic parameters will be derived from the concentration versus time values.

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. Change in size of tumors

    Change in the overall tumor will be determined from the tumor burden at Baseline following Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing briciclib in people with Neoplasms and Advanced Solid Tumor, run by Traws Pharma, Inc. at 3 sites 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 7 inclusion and 23 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 22 Jun 2021. 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 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?

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: The study was placed on hold by the FDA due to manufacturing issues and was not restarted.). 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?

Number of patients with adverse events (time frame: Up to 1 year). 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 22 Jun 2021.
