What participants receive

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

  • PCI-24781Drug

    Up to 7 cohorts will receive PCI-24781 orally at doses starting at 30 mg/m2 three times a day approximately 4 hours apart ("TID"), up to 90 mg/m2, administered 5 days/week during the first 21 days of each 28 day cycle until MTD is reached. If a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) occurs, then the next cohort will receive PCI-24781 twice a day approximately 4 hours apart ("BID"). If a DLT occurs on the "BID" schedule, the subsequent cohort will receive PCI-24781 BID for 7 days every other week (2 times in a 28 day cycle). If a DLT occurs on this dosing schedule, then the next cohort will receive PCI-24781 BID for 5 days/week every other week (2 times in a 28 day cycle) until the maximum tolerated dose is reached.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PCI-24781 in people with Neoplasms by Site and Lymphoma, Non-hodgkin, run by Pharmacyclics LLC. at 4 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 13 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 28 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 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?

Dose limiting toxicity assessment at the end of the first 28 day cycle. (time frame: at the end of the first 28 day cycle). 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 NCT00562224, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Sep 2011.
