Trial summary

Amblyomin-X is an inhibitor of Factor Xa that also acts as an apoptotic agent for tumor cells. In the case of in vitro assays, Amblyomin-X induces tumor cells to death and does not affect the viability of normal cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase I Study (First in Humans) of the Amblyomin-X in the Treatment of Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors Refractory or Without Indication / Access to Standard Treatment

Amblyomin-X is an inhibitor of Factor Xa that also acts as an apoptotic agent for tumor cells. In the case of in vitro assays, Amblyomin-X induces tumor cells to death and does not affect the viability of normal cells. When in vivo assays were performed on mice bearing tumors, treatment with Amblyomin-X caused a significant reduction in tumor mass and number of metastases.

Read the detailed description

This trial will be the first clinical study in humans with the product, which until then has been studied only in experimental models. Given the current epidemiological impact of cancer and the need to improve its systemic treatment, making it available to a larger portion of the Brazilian population, it is proposed to conduct the first Amblyomin-X study in cancer patients, more specifically those with advanced solid tumors For which there is no contraindicated or inaccessible therapeutic option established as the standard at the time of inclusion in the study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Amblyomin-XBiological

    Intravenous drug administration, with different doses in each cohort

Study groups in NCT03120130
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cohort 1ExperimentalThis cohort will include 3 patients with the first calculated dose of Amblyomin-X drug. The patient will receive the intravenous drug. If no Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in this group the study continues including the next cohort. However, if If only one patient in a given cohort develops DLT, three more patients will be included at that dose level, up to a maximum total of six patients per dose level. If two or more of the three patients of a certain dose level develop DLT, this dose level is considered very toxic, and the study does not proceed. If this occurs at the first dose level, the study will be finalized. If only one in six patients at a dose level develops DLTs, escalation proceeds until Tolerated Maximum Dose.

What is being measured

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

  1. grade 4 or non-haematological grade 3 haematological toxicity according to the CTCAE (version 4)

    Presence of grade 4 or non-haematological grade 3 haematological toxicity according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 4)

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended dose for phase II

    This will be based on dose-limiting toxicity of the previous cohort

    Measured: 2 weeks

  2. Adverse Events

    haematological toxicity

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Amblyomin-X in people with Advanced Cancer, run by União Química Farmacêutica Nacional S/A at 1 site in Brazil.

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 7 inclusion and 9 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Oct 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

grade 4 or non-haematological grade 3 haematological toxicity according to the CTCAE (version 4) (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 14 Oct 2019.
