What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    DLT: any of the following, considered related to ixabepilone, occurring in Cycle 1: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) <500 cells/mm^3 for ≥5 consecutive days or febrile neutropenia of any duration; Grade(Gr)4 thrombocytopenia <25,000 cells/mm^3 or Gr3 with bleeding requiring platelet transfusion; Gr3/4 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea despite use of adequate intervention, fatigue, any other clinically significant drug-related ≥Gr 3 non-hematologic toxicity, delayed recovery (to Gr ≤1 or baseline, except alopecia) from toxicity which delays initiation of Cycle 2 by ≥3 weeks.

    Measured: During Cycle 1 (Day 0 through Day 21)

  2. Ixabepilone Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (R2PD)

    The MTD was defined as the maximum dose which could be given to 6 participants such that not more than 1 participant experienced a DLT (or fewer than one-third if there were more than 6 treated participants) with at least 2 participants experiencing a DLT at the next higher dose level. The R2PD was to be based on the MTD and the assessment of any relevant chronic toxicities.

    Measured: At the end of Cycle 1 (21 days).

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Event (AE), AE Leading to Discontinuation, Treatment-related AE, Treatment-related AE Leading to Discontinuation (DC), Most Common Treatment-Related Nonhematologic AE (>25%), Serious AE (SAE), or Treatment-related SAE

    AEs graded according to Common Terminology Criteria Version 3.0 (CTC v 3.0). AE=any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition not necessarily having a causal relationship with this treatment. SAE=any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization/causes prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, results in development of drug dependency or drug abuse, or is an important medical event.

    Measured: From first study drug administration through 30 days post dose

  2. Number of Participants With Most Common Treatment-Related Nonhematologic AEs (>25%)

    AEs graded according to Common Terminology Criteria Version 3.0 (CTC v 3.0). AE=any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition not necessarily having a causal relationship with this treatment. SAE=any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization/causes prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, results in development of drug dependency or drug abuse, or is an important medical event.

    Measured: From first study drug administration through 30 days post dose

  3. Number of Participants With Hematology Laboratory Abnormalities

    Laboratory results were graded according to CTC v 3.0. Hematology laboratory evaluations included absolute neutrophil count (ANC), white blood cell count (WBC), platelets (PLT), and hemoglobin (HGB).

    Measured: From first study drug administration through 30 days post dose

  4. Number Of Participants With Liver Function and Renal Laboratory Abnormalities

    Laboratory results were graded according to CTC v 3.0. Clinical laboratory evaluations included liver function (alanine aminotransferase [ALT], Aspartate aminotransferase [AST], alkaline phosphatase, and total bilirubin), and renal function (creatinine).

    Measured: From first study drug administration through 30 days post dose

  5. Maximum QTc Interval on Day 1 and Maximum Change From Baseline for QTc Interval

    QTc interval was defined as the measure of the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the heart's electrical cycle, corrected for heart rate

    Measured: Baseline (Day -1) and Day 1

  6. PK: Mean Plasma Concentration Of Ixabepilone By Nominal Collection Time

    Pharmacokinetics (PK) of ixabepilone were derived from plasma concentration versus time data. Individual patient PK parameter values were derived by standard non-compartmental methods by a validated pharmacokinetic analysis program. PK parameters include Cmax (maximum plasma concentration), Cmin (minimum plasma concentration), Tmax (time of maximum plasma concentration), AUC (0-TAU) (area under the curve in one dosing interval), T-half (plasma half-life).

    Measured: Time 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 12.5, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 48, 72, and 168 hours post dose

  7. Best Overall Response

    Tumor assessment was performed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria: Complete Response (CR) = disappearance of all clinical and radiological evidence of target lesions; Partial Response (PR) = at least 30% reduction in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions; Progressive disease (PD) = at least 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions; Stable Disease (SD) = neither PR nor PD criteria were met.

    Measured: Tumor assessments performed on Day 1 of every other cycle of therapy, until disease progression or toxicity

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ixabepilone (oral formulation) in people with Advanced Solid Tumors, run by R-Pharm at 2 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 5 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Dec 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) (time frame: During Cycle 1 (Day 0 through Day 21)). 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 10 Mar 2016.
