About this study

Official title: A First-in-Human Phase I Single-Agent Open-Label Dose-Escalation Study of Every Three-Week Dosing of Oral ONC201 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of Oral ONC201 in treating patients with advanced solid tumors. Oral ONC201 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the recommended phase II dose of single agent ONC201 orally once every three weeks.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To characterize pharmacokinetics of ONC201. II. To assess serum biomarkers of therapeutic response to ONC201. III. To assess preliminary antitumor activity of ONC201 as a single agent in advanced solid tumors.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive ONC201 orally (PO) on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days for a total of 2 courses.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 4 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Oral ONC201 in people with Solid Tumors, run by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey 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 14 inclusion and 34 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 22 May 2019. 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?

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?

Dose limiting toxicity rate during cycle 1 of treatment with oral ONC201 (time frame: Day 21). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02250781, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 May 2019.
