What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response (OR) of the injected tumor

    Overall response is defined as Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as evaluated using the international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Committee version 1.1

    Measured: Up to 20 months (estimated length of the study)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    DCR is measured on a subset of subjects who achieve Stable Disease (SD), Partial Response (PR) or Complete Response (CR) at the End of Treatment visit. DCR will be defined as the proportion of these subjects that show absence of disease progression as evaluated using the RECIST v1.1 criteria

    Measured: End of Treatment Visit (Week 9) through to study end (up to 18 months)

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS will be defined as the time from first treatment administration to first observation of documented disease progression as evaluated using the RECIST v1.1 criteria

    Measured: Up to 20 months (estimated length of study)

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS will be defined as the time from first treatment administration through to death due to any cause

    Measured: Up to 20 months (estimated length of study)

  4. Duration of Response (DoR)

    DoR assessments will be performed on the subset of patients for who a CR, PR, or SD response is achieved. DoR will be measured from the time where the response criteria are first met, until the first date that progressive disease is objectively documented, or the date of death due to any cause

    Measured: 20 months (estimated length of study)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BB-401 in people with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Benitec Biopharma, Inc. at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 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 15 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Russia, Australia. 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?

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?

Overall Response (OR) of the injected tumor (time frame: Up to 20 months (estimated length of the study)). 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 15 Apr 2020.
