What is being measured

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

  1. Dose-limiting toxicity

    Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) are defined as any events ≥ Grade 3 that are at least possibly, probably, or definitely related to niclosamide treatment

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Efficacy of niclosamide treatment clinical response

    Clinical response is defined as any of the following.

    • Complete response (CR) = < 5% blasts in BM, with no evidence of extramedullary disease.
    • Partial response (PR) = ≥ 5% to ≤ 25% blasts in BM with decrease in BM blast percentage by 50%, and no evidence of extramedullary disease.
    • Resistant disease with clinical benefit (RD-CB) = either ≥ 5% to ≤ 25% blasts in BM OR a decrease in blast percentage by 50%, either with no evidence of extramedullary disease.

    No response (NR) is defined as BM disease that does not fall into the above categories

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Niclosamide in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), run by Stanford University 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 7 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Oct 2026. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Nancy Sweeters (650-724-4042, nks2016@stanford.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dose-limiting toxicity (time frame: 30 days). 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 2026.
