About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Orally Applied Niclosamide in Patients With Metachronous or Synchronous Metastases of a Colorectal Cancer Progressing After Therapy

Phase II trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of oral appliqued niclosamide in patients who are progressive with metachronous or synchronous metastases of colorectal cancer among the previous therapy (Nikolo). Monocentric open-label clinical trial of phase II. All patients received 2 g p.o. niclosamide daily until progression (according to RECIST) or unacceptable toxicity or discontinuation of study for other reasons.

Read the detailed description

Effectiveness:

  • effectiveness is measured by progression-free survival evaluated by RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid tumor).

Overall survival For overall survival, the curves are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression free survival

    defined as the time from patient inclusion to the date of progression

    Measured: At 4 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Overall survival

    defined as the time from patient inclusion to the date of death or date of last follow-up news (censured data)

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death, assessed up to 2 years

  2. Time to progression

    Progression according to RECIST

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, assessed up to 2 years

  3. Disease control rate

    remission + partial remission + stable disease

    Measured: From date of randomization, assessed up to 2 years

  4. Number of Adverse Events > grade 2 toxicities according to NCI Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects v 4.03

    number of adverse events > grade 2 toxicities according to NCI Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects v 4.03

    Measured: From date of randomization, assessed up to 1 months after end ot therapy

  5. Number of Serious Adverse Events

    number of serious adverse events

    Measured: From date of randomization, assessed up to 1 months after end ot therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Niclosamide in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Charite University, Berlin, Germany at 1 site in Germany.

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 30 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Sep 2018. 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 Germany. 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 Susen Burock (0049 (0)30450564648, susen.burock@charite.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression free survival (time frame: At 4 months). 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 NCT02519582, 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 12 Sep 2018.
