About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study of Interferon-Beta Gene Transfer (Ad.hIFN-β) in the Treatment of Refractory Colorectal Carcinoma With Liver Metastases

This study will be conducted in subjects with refractory colorectal carcinoma with unresectable liver metastases. The purposes of the study are:

  • to evaluate the safety and any harmful effects of an intravenous injection of Ad.hIFN-β;
  • help determine whether the virus carrying the interferon-beta gene will enter the bloodstream and liver tumor cells and cause the cancer cells to die.
Read the detailed description

This trial is a clinical research study of Ad.hIFN-β, an investigational, replication-defective, recombinant adenovirus containing the human interferon beta gene, for people that have refractory colorectal carcinoma with liver metastases. Scientists have been exploring a variety of approaches to develop medications to treat patients with refractory colorectal carcinoma with liver metastases; a disease for which current treatment provides only limited relief, so there is a need for new medications.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Ad.hIFN-β (BG00001, IDEC-201)Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. - Evaluate the safety of a single IV administration of Ad.hIFN-β.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Evaluate the MTD or maximum feasible dose (MFD) of Ad.hIFN-β.

  2. Evaluate IFN-β and Ad.hIFN-β vector serum concentrations.

  3. Evaluate immunogenicity of Ad.hIFN-β by measuring human anti adenovirus and human anti-IFN-β antibody formation.

  4. Explore preliminary clinical activity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Ad.hIFN-β (BG00001, IDEC-201) in people with Colorectal Carcinoma and Metastases, run by Biogen 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?

The sponsor lists 18 inclusion and 14 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 2009. 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 combined 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.

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 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

- Evaluate the safety of a single IV administration of Ad.hIFN-β.. 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 14 Jul 2009.
