About this study

Official title: Phase I Trial Of Benzoylphenylurea (NSC#639829) In Advanced Malignancy

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of benzoylphenylurea in treating patients with advanced cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the dose-limiting toxicity and the maximum tolerated dose of benzoylphenylurea in patients with advanced malignancy.

II. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive oral benzoylphenylurea weekly for 6 weeks. Courses repeat every 8 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of benzoylphenylurea until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-30 patients will be accrued for this study.

Being tested
benzoylphenylurea, pharmacological study

The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
Receives: Drug: benzoylphenylurea; Other: pharmacological study

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) defined as the highest dose level where 0/6 or 1/6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) as assessed by CTCAE version 3.0

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. DLT defined as grade 3 or worse non-hematologic and sustained (> 5 days) grade 3 hematologic toxicity or grade 4 hematologic toxicity of any duration, and the moderate toxicity is grade 2 toxicity as assessed by CTCAE version 3.0

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Pharmacokinetics of benzoylphenylurea

    Relationships between drug exposure and toxicity, efficacy, and biological endpoints will be explored using univariate and multivariate analysis techniques.

    Measured: At baseline, at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours (weeks 1 and 6)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Response (complete and partial response) rate

    Response rate will be evaluated for all patients with measurable disease and will be obtained by dividing the total number of responses by all patients with measurable disease and reported with 95% confidence intervals.

    Measured: Up to 7 years

  2. Survival

    The median and landmark survivals will be estimated utilizing the Kaplan- Meier method.

    Measured: From the date of first treatment until death or last follow-up, assessed up to 7 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing benzoylphenylurea and pharmacological study in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, 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.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 37 inclusion and 0 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jan 2013. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Administratively complete.). 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) defined as the highest dose level where 0/6 or 1/6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) as assessed by CTCAE version 3.0 (time frame: 8 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 Jan 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
