About this study

Official title: Phase IB Study of QRH-882260 Heptapeptide Application in the Colon

A Phase 1B study of the efficacy of a topically-administered 7-amino acid peptide labeled with a near-infrared fluorophore Cy5 for detecting neoplastic areas of the colon is proposed. The study will test the efficacy of administering this agent (QRH-882260 Heptapeptide) to human subjects undergoing clinically-indicated colonoscopy for endoscopic resection of known colonic adenomas or for surveillance biopsies of known dysplasia in the setting of irritable bowel disease (IBD). Up to 120 evaluable subjects will be enrolled.

Subjects will be recruited around scheduled standard of care procedures. The endoscopists performing the procedures are all endoscopists credentialed at the University of Michigan to do these procedures. Urine for dipstick pregnancy testing (if applicable) will be collected before the procedure, along with medical information. Vital signs are routinely monitored throughout the clinical procedure and are available in the electronic medical record. The endoscopy will proceed per the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS) standard of care. The endoscopist performing the clinical procedure will evaluate the potential risk (if any) for the subject to continue with the procedure or study. Five mL of the reconstituted QRH-882260 Heptapeptide (~100 μM) will be sprayed onto the site of interest through a catheter in the endoscope. Five minutes after QRH-882260 Heptapeptide application, the unbound peptide will be washed off using the endogator irrigator and the residual liquid will be suctioned. Pictures with white-light and fluorescence will be taken with the scanning fiber based molecular imaging endoscopic probe inserted via the instrument channel of the standard endoscope before the QRH-882260 Heptapeptide application, immediately after application and then again after the QRH-882260 Heptapeptide will be washed off. The area of interest identified will be resected/biopsied per discretion of the endoscopist per clinical care. All specimens taken are for clinical care only (not research use) and will be sent for routine histology per UMHS standard of care.

What participants receive

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

  • QRH-882260 HeptapeptideDrug

    Also called QRH

    topical spray; fluorescently-labeled peptide composed of a 7-amino acid sequence [Gln-Arg-His-Lys-Pro-Arg-Glu] attached via a 5 amino acid linker [Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser-Lys] to a near-infrared fluorophore, Cy5. The complete peptide sequence is written as: Gln-Arg-His-Lys-Pro-Arg-Glu-Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser-Lys(Cy5)-NH2, and is abbreviated as: QRHKPRE-GGGSK-(Cy5)-NH2.

  • Scanning Fiber EndoscopeDevice

    Endoscope used for providing the light via laser to image the area of interest in the colon after the QRH has been sprayed and rinsed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of QRH-882260 Heptapeptide administration-related adverse events

    Continued monitoring of safety in subjects as measured by the number of Adverse Event (AE) assessments, severity (grade), and relationship to the study drug (any that could be related).

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Efficacy of QRH-882260 Heptapeptide administration for detection of polypoid and non-polypoid colonic neoplasia

    The test product efficacy will be assessed by evaluating the fluorescence intensified measured from suspicious regions of colonic mucosa where the fluorescently-labeled peptide (QRH-882260) is administered. Measurement of peptide binding will be evaluated by the fluorescence intensity measured from the suspicious (target) region and normal tissues (background) to produce a target-to-background ratio.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing QRH-882260 Heptapeptide and Scanning Fiber Endoscope in people with Colon Cancer Prevention, run by Danielle Kim Turgeon 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 8 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: It was decided to use the QRH for a new 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?

Incidence of QRH-882260 Heptapeptide administration-related adverse events (time frame: 1 year). 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 24 Apr 2018.
