Trial summary

N-cadherin, a protein involved in blood vessel cell binding and on the surface of many tumor cells, is increased as cancer progresses. ADH-1 blocks N-cadherin. This study will test the safety and effects of the combination ADH-1 with Normothermic Isolated Limb Infusion of Melphalan in subjects with locally advanced… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Multicenter, Phase 1/2 Dose Escalation Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Anti-tumor Activity of Systemic ADH-1 in Combination With Normothermic Isolated Limb Infusion of Melphalan in Subjects With Locally Advanced In-Transit Malignant Melanoma (Adherex Protocol Number AHX-01-007).

N-cadherin, a protein involved in blood vessel cell binding and on the surface of many tumor cells, is increased as cancer progresses. ADH-1 blocks N-cadherin. This study will test the safety and effects of the combination ADH-1 with Normothermic Isolated Limb Infusion of Melphalan in subjects with locally advanced malignant melanoma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ADH-1 and melphalan in people with Neoplasms, run by Adherex Technologies, Inc. at 7 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 6 inclusion and 7 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 28 Dec 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 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?

To tabulate the Best Overall Response according to unconfirmed RECIST, modified for cutaneous lesions (time frame: By Week 12). 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 28 Dec 2010.
