About this study

Official title: A Phase I Pharmacokinetic and Safety Study of Sorafenib + Capecitabine in Advanced Solid Tumors

This is a phase I, randomized, safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) study of sorafenib given in combination with capecitabine. The study will enroll two simultaneous cohorts; patients will be randomly assigned to either Cohort A or Cohort B. A third cohort (C) may be added to the protocol at a later date.

Read the detailed description

During Cycle 1, patients will receive capecitabine alone for the first 7 days (Cohort A will receive 750 mg/m2 of capecitabine twice daily, and Cohort B will receive 1000 mg/m2 of capecitabine twice daily for the first 7 days of Cycle 1). For days 8-14 of Cycle 1, patients will receive capecitabine (750 mg/m2 twice daily for Cohort A; 1000 mg/m2 twice daily for Cohort B) combined with sorafenib (400 mg twice daily for both cohorts); on days 15-21 of Cycle 1, patients will receive sorafenib alone (400 mg twice daily for both cohorts). Beginning with day 1 of Cycle 2 and all treatment cycles thereafter, patients will be dosed as follows: Cohort A will receive sorafenib orally at 400 mg twice daily for 21 days, and capecitabine orally at 750 mg/m2 twice daily for the first 14 days of a 21-day treatment cycle.

Cohort B will receive sorafenib orally at 400 mg twice daily for 21 days, and capecitabine orally at 1000 mg/m2 twice daily for the first 14 days of a 21-day treatment cycle. After 6 patients each are enrolled into Cohort A and Cohort B, one of these two cohorts will enroll an additional 6-12 patients in an expansion phase.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Capecitabine and Sorafenib in people with Refractory Malignancy, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC 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 21 inclusion and 22 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 4 Feb 2013. 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?

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?

Safety and tolerability of the combination therapy (time frame: 18 Months). 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 4 Feb 2013.
