About this study

Official title: A Single Arm, Phase II Study to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of 4-HPRN-(4-Hydroxyphenyl) Retinamide for Treating Oral Intraepithelial Neoplasia

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. The use of fenretinide may be an effective way to prevent the development of cancer in patients with neoplasia of the mouth.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of fenretinide in preventing cancer in patients who have neoplasia of the mouth.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the efficacy of fenretinide in patients with oral intraepithelial neoplasia. II. Assess the toxicity of fenretinide in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral fenretinide on days 1-25 every 28 days for a maximum of 6 courses. After 6 courses, patients receive a post-treatment biopsy. Patients exhibiting disease progression or unacceptable toxicities are removed from the study. Patients are followed at 3 and 6 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 51 patients will be accrued.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing fenretinide in people with Head and Neck Cancer, run by SWOG Cancer Research Network at 15 sites 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?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Closed due to poor accrual.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?
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 24 Jul 2012.
