About this study

Official title: Randomized Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Parallel Multi-Center Study to Assess the Efficacy of Cannabidiol (BRCX014) Combined With Standard-Of-Care Treatment in Subjects With Multiple Myeloma, Glioblastoma Multiforme, and GI Malignancies

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel, Multi-Center Study to Assess the Efficacy of BRCX014 Combined with Standard-Of-Care Treatment in Subjects with Glioblastoma Multiforme, Multiple Myeloma, and GI Malignancies

Read the detailed description

Several studies have shown a potential anti-tumor role for cannabinoids by modulating cell signaling pathways, inhibiting angiogenesis, inducing apoptosis, and overcoming chemotherapy resistance. In phase I trials, cannabinoids have been shown to enhance the uptake of chemotherapy into malignant cells without affecting normal cells. The investigators seeks to demonstrate that the combination of chemotherapy with BRCX014 will have a greater anti-tumor and anti-proliferative activity when compared to standard of care alone.

Being tested
Cannabidiol, Bortezomib, Leucovorin, 5-FU, Oxaliplatin
Medical subject headings
Pancreatic Neoplasms, Liver Neoplasms, Rectal Neoplasms, Colonic Neoplasms, Gallbladder Neoplasms, Multiple Myeloma, Glioblastoma

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Cannabidiol, Bortezomib and Leucovorin in people with Cancer of Pancreas and Cancer of Liver, run by Leaf Vertical Inc. 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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jul 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Philip Arlen, PhD (407-443-0656, parlen@leafvertical.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response rate (time frame: Through study completion, an average of one 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 31 Jul 2018.
