About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study of Intraperitoneal Nanoparticle Paclitaxel in Patients With Peritoneal Malignancies

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of an intraperitoneally administered suspension of nanoparticulate paclitaxel in patients with refractory malignancies principally confined to the peritoneal cavity.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, Phase 1, dose-escalation study evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of an intraperitoneally administered suspension of nanoparticle paclitaxel (Nanotax) in patients with refractory malignancies principally confined to the peritoneal cavity.

Nanotax will be administered via intraperitoneal infusion once every 28 days (equals one treatment cycle), continuing on this treatment schedule until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity is experienced.

This study will treat one patient per predefined dose level until one patient experiences a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) or until one patient has a Grade 2 or higher non-hematological toxicity or a Grade 3 or higher hematological toxicity during the first cycle of treatment. At this time, two additional patients will be treated at this dose level. If these 2 additional patients do not experience a DLT, then the next cohort of three patients will be treated at the next highest dose level. If 2/3 or 3/3 patients experience a DLT then the next cohort of three patients is enrolled at the next lower dose level. If 1/3 of the patients experience a DLT, then the next cohort of three patients is enrolled at the same dose level. If 0/3 patients experience a DLT, then the next cohort of three patients is enrolled at the next highest dose level. If 2 (or more)/6 patients at a given level experience a DLT, then the maximum tolerated dose has been exceeded and another cohort of three patients is treated at the next lower dose level.

The protocol will not treat above the highest dose level of 275 mg/m2.

Adverse event data will be collected throughout the study. Peritoneal fluid and blood samples will be collected prior to Nanotax administration and up to 14 days following infusion for Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 only. Evaluation of tumor response using RECIST criteria will be conducted following each treatment cycle.

  • nanoparticulate paclitaxelDrug

    Also called Nanotax

    This is a Phase 1, dose-escalation study with 6 cohorts of 1 - 6 patients. Patients receive Nanotax via intraperitoneal infusion once every 28 days continuing on this treatment schedule until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity is experienced. Dosing cohorts are as follows: 50 mg/m2, 82.5 mg/m2, 125 mg/m2, 175 mg/m2, 225 mg/m2, and 275 mg/m2.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine maximum tolerated dose and to assess qualitative and quantitative toxicities

    Measured: Through last patient visit

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Determine preliminary anti-tumor activity using RECIST criteria

    Measured: Through last patient visit

  2. Determine pharmacokinetics of intraperitoneal administration

    Measured: Up to 14 days following Cycles 1 and 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing nanoparticulate paclitaxel in people with Peritoneal Neoplasms, run by CritiTech, Inc. at 3 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 10 inclusion and 7 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 27 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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?

Determine maximum tolerated dose and to assess qualitative and quantitative toxicities (time frame: Through last patient visit). 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 27 Feb 2014.
