GliomaPhase 1NCT00001573
A Phase I Study of SU101 in Pediatric Patients With Refractory Malignancy
A Phase 1 study testing SU101 in people with Glioma and Sarcoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
A dose escalation scale consisting of 5 dosage levels is being used to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SU101. A minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 patients will be enrolled at each dose level. MTD is defined as the dose level immediately below that at which 2 or more patients exhibit dose limiting toxicity.

About this study
A dose escalation scale consisting of 5 dosage levels is being used to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SU101. A minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 patients will be enrolled at each dose level. MTD is defined as the dose level immediately below that at which 2 or more patients exhibit dose limiting toxicity.
Each treatment cycle is 21 days. Patients receive a 96 hour continuous IV infusion of SU101 on days 1-4.
Read the detailed description
SU101 is a member of a novel class of antineoplastic agents, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor inhibitors. Preclinical data suggests that SU101 might be an effective agent against neuroglial tumors as well as a variety of sarcomas. A pediatric phase I trial of SU101 in children with these malignancies will be conducted to find the maximum tolerated dose of SU101 and define the toxicity profile of this agent. In addition, we will define the pharmacokinetics of SU101 and its active metabolite SU0020 in pediatric patients and gather preliminary information regarding response.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing SU101 in people with Glioma and Sarcoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2008. 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 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.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00001573, which also lists 3 linked publications.
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 4 Mar 2008; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
