Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically confirmed solid tumor that is surgically resected
  • Have completed all planned adjuvant therapy or are not planned for adjuvant therapy
  • Age ≥18 years
  • ECOG performance status ≤1 (Karnofsky ≥80%)
  • Patients must be able to ingest oral medications (crushing and administering via PEG tube is acceptable)
  • Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
Show all 15Show fewer
  • absolute neutrophil count ≥1,500/mcL
  • platelets ≥100,000/mcL
  • total bilirubin Less than 1.5 x ULN
  • AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤2.5 × institutional upper limit of normal
  • creatinine within normal institutional limits OR creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal
  • The effects of hydroxychloroquine on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, and because anti-malarial agents as well as other therapeutic agents used in this trial are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and four months after completion of hydroxychloroquine administration.
  • Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and four months after completion of hydroxychloroquine administration.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • Approval for hydroxychloroquine treatment by an eye doctor, based on a screening eye exam.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with metastatic cancer and/or cancer that is not amenable to surgery.
  • Patients with significant malabsorption as determined by the treating physician.
  • Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents.
  • Patients with known brain metastases are excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events. Patients with primary brain tumors amenable to surgery are allowed on this protocol.
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to hydroxychloroquine or received HCQ in the past six months.
  • Caution should be taken with the use of hydroxychloroquine and any drugs known to interact with it (Appendix B). Because the lists of these agents are constantly changing, it is important to regularly consult a frequently updated list such as http://medicine.iupui.edu/clinpharm/ddis/table.aspx

  • Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illnesses including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study.
  • HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible
  • Patients that are on enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic medications.

About this study

Official title: Biological Effects of Maintenance Usage of Hydroxychloroquine on PAR-4 Levels in Patients With Resected Solid Tumors

Hydroxychloroquine will be administered on an outpatient basis within 12 weeks after primary surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy /or radiation therapy (if needed). Hydroxychloroquine will be administered orally at a dose of 400 mg daily for 90 days. Subjects will receive HCQ every day.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Hydroxychloroquine in people with Solid Tumor, run by Peng Wang, MD PhD 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 15 inclusion and 10 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 25 Jan 2022. 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?

PAR-4 increase (time frame: 3 months). 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 25 Jan 2022.
