About this study

Oraxol is a combination of an oral tablet, HM30181 methanesulfonate, and capsules that contain paclitaxel. HM30181 is a drug that helps the body absorb paclitaxel, a drug used to treat cancer. Initially this study is intended as an extension study of KX-ORAX-002 pharmacokinetic study for patients who wish to continue Oraxol treatment and who are eligible to participate. The purpose of this study is to check the safety and tolerability of Oraxol when it is administered on a weekly basis and to confirm the sustained oral bioavailability of paclitaxel following multiple dosing; also compare the relative bioavailability of paclitaxel tablets vs paclitaxel capsules (Group B only).

Oraxol is a combination of an oral tablet, HM30181 methanesulfonate, and capsules that contain paclitaxel. HM30181 is a drug that helps the body absorb paclitaxel, a drug used to treat cancer. Initially this study is intended as an extension study of KX-ORAX-002 pharmacokinetic study for patients who wish to continue Oraxol treatment and who are eligible to participate. Once the dose of Oraxol has been confirmed in the KX-ORAX-002 study, then enrollment of patients who have not participated in the KX-ORAX-002 study can be allowed. The purpose of this study is to check the safety and tolerability of Oraxol when it is administered on a weekly basis and to confirm the sustained oral bioavailability of paclitaxel following multiple dosing; also compare the relative bioavailability of paclitaxel tablets vs paclitaxel capsules (Group B only). Participants in Group B (N=8) will receive the same weekly paclitaxel capsule treatment as the remainder of the subjects except for 1 dosing week (at least 1 week following the paclitaxel capsule PK sampling period) during which they will receive paclitaxel tablets and undergo PK assessments.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and tolerability of Oraxol (Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events)

    Safety and tolerability as assessed by the incidence of adverse events. Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) are defined as those AEs with an onset after dosing and those pre-existing AEs that worsen during the study.

    AEs will include those reported by participants as well as those observed by the clinical team, or clinically significant changes in lab tests, vital signs and ECGs. Possible AEs may include gastrointestinal effects and abdominal pain but as this is an early phase clinical trial and the likely AE profile is not yet known.

    Measured: From screening until final visit (within 28 days after the last dose of study drug was taken, and preferably before the participant receives any additional chemotherapy).

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Sustained oral bioavailability of paclitaxel following multiple dosing

    Oraxol PK data from this study will be compared with Oraxol PK data from study KX-ORAX-002.

    Measured: PK samples will be collected during dosing for Week 4 or may be done during a later dosing week at the investigator's discretion and/or at the participant's convenience before patients' withdrawal from the study, up to 8 months.

  2. the relative bioavailability of paclitaxel tablets vs paclitaxel capsules (Group B only)

    For Group B, 8 subjects will be enrolled and the geometric mean ratio (GMR) will be calculated comparing the Cmax and AUC0-∞ of the tablet and capsule formulations of paclitaxel following oral administration.

    Measured: PK samples will be collected during dosing for Week 5; or may be done during a later dosing week at the investigator's discretion and/or at the participant's convenience, up to 8 months.

Model description
For 1 dosing week (at least 1 week following the paclitaxel capsule PK sampling period, ie, at Week 5 or later), a subgroup of 8 participants (Group B) will receive Oraxol as HM30181 plus a tablet formulation of paclitaxel. For the remainder of the study, Group B participants will receive the current clinical capsule formulation of paclitaxel. This will allow for comparison of the bioavailability of these 2 formulations with minimal impact on safety or activity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Oraxol in people with Solid Tumor, run by Athenex, Inc. at 8 sites in 4 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 22 inclusion and 13 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 29 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in New Zealand, Taiwan, Australia, United Kingdom. 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?

Safety and tolerability of Oraxol (Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events) (time frame: From screening until final visit (within 28 days after the last dose of study drug was taken, and preferably before the participant receives any additional chemotherapy).). 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 29 Jul 2021.
