About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Multiple-Dose, Sequential Dose-Escalation Study of NBI-3001 in Patients With Recurrent or Unresponsive Solid Tumors Known to Over-Express IL-4 Receptors

RATIONALE: Interleukin-4 PE38KDEL cytotoxin may be able to deliver cancer-killing substances directly to solid tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of intravenous interleukin-4 PE38KDEL cytotoxin in treating patients who have recurrent or metastatic kidney cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or breast cancer that has not responded to previous treatment.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of interleukin-4 PE38KDEL cytotoxin in patients with recurrent or unresponsive, metastatic renal cell, non-small cell lung, or breast cancer that overexpresses interleukin-4 receptors.
  • Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxic effects of this drug, including the duration and intensity of these toxic effects, in these patients.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetic behavior of this drug in these patients.
  • Determine the antibody response (if any) in patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine, in a preliminary manner, the antitumor activity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study.

Patients receive interleukin-4 PE38KDEL cytotoxin (NBI-3001) IV over 10 minutes once daily on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or detection of neutralizing antibodies.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of NBI-3001 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 36 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing interleukin-4 PE38KDEL cytotoxin in people with Breast Cancer and Kidney Cancer, run by Neurocrine Biosciences 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 18 Jul 2013. 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 18 Jul 2013.
