About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Study Evaluating the Safety, Distribution, Metabolism, and Radiation Dosimetry of ULTRATRACE Iobenguane I 131 in Patients With Malignant Pheochromocytoma/Paraganglioma or Metastatic Carcinoid

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a drug called Ultratrace iobenguane I 131 that has radioactivity, to measure how long it takes for the drug to be absorbed and passed out of the body, and to measure how much radioactivity is absorbed into different tissues of the body.

Read the detailed description

Iobenguane, which is also known as MIBG, has been used in many patients who have types of cancers caused by what are known as neuroendocrine tumors, such as pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, and carcinoid. Iobenguane is absorbed by neuroendocrine tumor cells. The radioactive portion of the study drug, Ultratrace iobenguane, is a form of iodine called I 131. The I 131 is absorbed into the tumor with the iobenguane, and the radioactivity should kill the tumors. The type of iobenguane being studied is called Ultratrace because of the new way in which this form of iobenguane is made. This study is the first time in which Ultratrace iobenguane will be given to patients. The purpose of the study is to give a low dose of iobenguane just to find out if the drug is safe, to measure how long it takes the drug to be absorbed and passed out of the body, and to see how much radioactivity is absorbed by different types of tissues of the body.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ultratrace iobenguane I 131 in people with Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma, run by Molecular Insight Pharmaceuticals, Inc..

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 15 inclusion and 11 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 12 Oct 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

whole body imaging immediately post-dose. The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Oct 2011.
