About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Open-Label Phase I Dose-Escalation Study of PEP02 in Combination With 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and Leucovorin (LV) in Advanced Solid Tumors

This trial is a multi-center, open-label, phase I, dose escalation study of PEP02 (liposomal encapsulated irinotecan) in combination with 5-FU and LV in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

In this study, the initial starting dose of PEP02 is 60 mg/m2, and was escalated by increments of 20 mg/m2 between dose levels. 5-FU and LV was given as 24-hour infusion via an implanted central venous catheter, with dose fixed at 2000 mg/m2 and 200 mg/m2, respectively. PEP02 was administered on Day 1; 5-FU/LV was started after the end of PEP02 infusion on Day 1 and also on Day 8. Treatment repeated every 3 weeks and it was regarded as one cycle of treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PEP02, 5-FU and LV in people with Solid Tumor, run by PharmaEngine.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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 30 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 (DLT) according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 4.0 (time frame: 3 weeks). 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 NCT02884128, 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 30 Aug 2016.
