About this study

Official title: Phase I Dose Escalation Study to Determine the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of MSX-122 Administered Orally in Patients With Refractory Metastatic or Locally Advanced Solid Tumors

Primary Objectives:

  1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended Phase II dose(s) and schedule of MSX-122
  2. To characterize the dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and determine the overall safety and tolerability of MSX-122

Secondary Objectives:

  1. To determine the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of orally administered MSX-122
  2. To evaluate the preliminary evidence for anti-tumor activity of MSX-122
  3. To perform correlative studies to elucidate signaling pathways involved in CXCR4 activation in blood and optional tissue specimens by IHC (immunohistochemistry) and RPPA (reverse phase protein microarrays)
Conditions
Solid Tumors
Being tested
MSX-122

What participants receive

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

  • MSX-122Drug

    Dosage form = capsule

    Starting Dose (First Patient Cohort - Dose Level 1) = 50 mg taken orally once daily, 7 days per week for 4 weeks (total of 28 days), followed immediately by a second course of 28 days with identical dosage form and schedule. (Each patient in each cohort treated for a minimum of 56 days, unless obviated by toxicity.)

    • If there is no evidence of toxicity at the current dose level, then the dose of MSX-122 will be increased by 100% for the next patient cohort.
    • If a grade 1-2 toxicity is observed, then the dose will be increased by 50% for the next patient cohort.
    • If a grade 3 toxicity (non-dose limiting toxicity) is observed then the dose will be increased by 25% for the next patient cohort.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MSX-122 in people with Solid Tumors, run by Metastatix, Inc. at 1 site 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 15 inclusion and 12 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Mar 2008. 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 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?

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?

Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended Phase II dose(s) and schedule of MSX-122 (time frame: 12 Months Estimated). The study lists 2 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 26 Mar 2008.
