Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Motexafin gadolinium may increase the effectiveness of doxorubicin by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Phase I Dose Escalation Trial To Evaluate The Safety And Pharmacokinetics Of Motexafin Gadolinium And Doxorubicin Chemotherapy In The Treatment Of Advanced Malignancies

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Motexafin gadolinium may increase the effectiveness of doxorubicin by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining motexafin gadolinium with doxorubicin in treating patients who have recurrent or metastatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of motexafin gadolinium and doxorubicin in patients with advanced malignancies.
  • Determine the dose-limiting toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the safety and tolerability of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.
  • Evaluate the tumor response in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 groups.

Group A:

  • Course 1: Patients receive motexafin gadolinium IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, 9, and 10 and doxorubicin IV over 15 minutes on day 8.
  • Course 2: 28 days after the beginning of course 1, patients receive doxorubicin IV over 15 minutes.
  • Courses 3-6: Beginning 21 days after course 2, patients receive doxorubicin IV over 15 minutes on day 1 and motexafin gadolinium IV over 30 minutes on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 21 days.

Group B:

  • Course 1: Patients receive motexafin gadolinium IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and doxorubicin IV over 15 minutes on day 8.
  • Course 2: 28 days after the beginning of course 1, patients receive doxorubicin IV over 15 minutes on day 1 and motexafin gadolinium IV over 30 minutes on days 1-3.
  • Courses 3-6: Beginning 21 days after course 2, patients receive doxorubicin and motexafin gadolinium as in group A.

Treatment in both groups continues for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or a cumulative doxorubicin dose of 450 mg/m^2.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of doxorubicin and motexafin gadolinium until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the highest dose at which no more than 0 of 3 or 1 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed at 1 and 2 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-48 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing doxorubicin hydrochloride and motexafin gadolinium in people with Breast Cancer and Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison at 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 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?
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 17 Dec 2019.
