Who cannot join

  • Patients with any of the following will be excluded from the study:
  • Patients at poor medical risk because of non-malignant systemic disease or active infection.
  • History of clinically significant autoimmune or predominantly Th1-driven clinical disorders (such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, for example), with the exception of autoimmune endocrinopathies now treated with replacement therapy.
  • Diabetic retinopathy.
  • Substantive surgery within 4 weeks prior to study entry, or expectation of surgery during the study period.
  • Malignancy other than renal cell carcinoma or malignant melanoma within 5 years of study entry, except for non-melanoma skin cancer and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia treated definitively or other cancer from which the patient has been disease-free for 5 years.
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Concurrent treatment with systemic steroids or with other immunosuppressive therapies.
  • If female, pregnant or breastfeeding;
  • Women of child bearing potential or sexually active males, unless (1) the patient (if female, or the patient's partner, if male) is surgically sterile or (2) using adequate contraception (defined as either IUD, oral or depot contraceptive, or barrier plus spermicide) while receiving study treatment and for at least 6 months after termination of treatment. Women must be post-menopausal for at least 2 years to be considered of non-childbearing potential
  • Any concurrent medical or psychological condition that would limit the ability of the patient to provide informed consent or to comply with the obligations of the study.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of AS1409 in Patients With Either Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma or Metastatic Malignant Melanoma

To determine the tolerability, safety, end-organ toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of AS1409 in single and repeated doses.

Read the detailed description
  • To determine the tolerability, safety, end-organ toxicity and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AS1409 in single and repeated doses.
  • To determine biological responses to AS1409, including interferon-γ and IP-10 circulating concentrations.
  • To determine preliminary pharmacokinetics of AS1409.
  • To determine the immunogenicity of AS1409
  • To explore the anti-tumour activity of AS1409.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Tumor assessment

    Measured: 6 weeks, response confirmed at 4 weeks

  2. Biomarkers (interferon-γ and IP-10 Interferon)

    Measured: Various timepoints cycles 1-6, pre- and post-dose; then 1,4 and 12 weeks post last dose

  3. Adverse event monitoring

    Measured: Various timepoints cycles 1-6, pre- and post-dose; then 1,4 and 12 weeks post last dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AS1409 in people with Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma and Metastatic Malignant Melanoma, run by Antisoma Research at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 12 inclusion and 10 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 25 Aug 2009. 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 New Zealand, United Kingdom. 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?

Tumor assessment (time frame: 6 weeks, response confirmed at 4 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00625768, 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 25 Aug 2009.
