Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Written informed consent by patient or legally valid representative
  • Patients receiving high-dose MTX (>1 g/m2 body surface area (BSA) given as an infusion over 24 hours) for the treatment of ALL, NHL or a solid tumour (e.g. osteosarcoma)
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Serum MTX >5 µmol/L 42 hours or later after the start of MTX infusion, or serum MTX >1 μmol/L 42 hours or later after the start of MTX infusion together with renal insufficiency, or serum MTX >0.4 µmol/L 48 hours or later after the start of MTX infusion together with renal insufficiency. Renal insufficiency was defined as serum creatinine >1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) and/or oliguria (urine output < 500 mL/24 hours despite adequate hydration, diuretics and alkalinisation).

Who cannot join

  • Pregnant or lactating females
  • Unwillingness of patient or relative/legal representative to give informed consent

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing glucarpidase (50 Units/kg) in people with Neoplasms, run by BTG International Inc. at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 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 11 Sep 2014. 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 Germany. 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 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?

Reduction in serum MTX concentration. 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 11 Sep 2014.
