About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Recombinant Anti-tumor and Anti-virus Protein for Injection to Treat Advanced Neuroendocrine Tumors

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant anti-tumor and anti-virus protein for injection in treating patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors who have failed standard treatment or are unable to receive standard treatment.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase Ⅱ exploratory clinical study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant anti-tumor and anti-virus protein for injection in treating patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors who have failed standard treatment or are unable to receive standard treatment.

Recombinant anti-tumor and anti-virus protein for injection, 10μg,im,3 times for the first week, followed by 20μg for two weeks, and followed a maintenance dose of 30μg, the frequency of administration is three times per week. Treatment continued until the patient died or had unacceptable toxicity or had disease progression or required to discontinue the treatment. At the time of disease progression, if investigators believe patients can continue to benefit from the investigational product, patients may be provided with recombinant anti-tumor and anti-virus protein for injection,but only survival follow-up datas will be recorded.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the length of time from random assignment to disease progression or to death resulting from any cause other than the progress.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Disease control rate(DCR)

    DCR is defined as the percentage of subjects having achieved confirmed Complete Response + Partial Response + Stable Disease as best overall response according to radiological assessments.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall response rate(ORR)

    ORR is defined as the percentage of subjects having achieved confirmed Complete Response + Partial Response as best overall response according to radiological assessments.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Overall survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the length of time from random assignment to death or to last contact

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Adverse Events(AEs)

    AEs are evaluated according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Recombinant anti-tumor and anti-virus protein for injection (Novaferon) in people with Neuroendocrine Tumors, run by The Affiliated Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Military Medical Sciences at 1 site in China.

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 8 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jan 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 China. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xu Jianming, M.D. (+861051128358, jmxu2003@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free survival (PFS) (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 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 5 Jan 2016.
