About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Motexafin Gadolinium With Whole Brain Radiation Therapy Followed by Stereotactic Radiosurgery Boost in the Treatment of Patients With Brain Metastases

The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate if motexafin gadolinium with whole brain radiation therapy followed by a stereotactic radiosurgery boost is a safe and effective treatment.

Read the detailed description

Patients will receive three weeks of whole brain radiation therapy concurrent with daily motexafin gadolinium during weeks 2 and 3, followed by a stereotactic radiosurgery boost concurrent with motexafin gadolinium. Patients will be followed for radiologic response, neurologic progression, and neurocognitive progression.

What participants receive

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

  • Motexafin gadoliniumDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of irreversible Grade 3 or any Grade 4 or 5 neurologic radiation toxicities occuring within 3 months following SRS boost

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in lesion size and number between screening MRI and SRS treatment -planning MRI

  2. Time to neuroligic progression or death with evidence of neurologic progression

  3. Time to neurocognitive progression

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Motexafin gadolinium in people with Neoplasm Metastasis and Brain Neoplasms, run by Pharmacyclics LLC. at 12 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 17 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 9 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States, Canada. 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. 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?

Rate of irreversible Grade 3 or any Grade 4 or 5 neurologic radiation toxicities occuring within 3 months following SRS boost. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00121420, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 9 May 2014.
