What participants receive

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

  • Paclitaxel plus PTK787Drug

    Paclitaxel will be given on days 1 and 15 over 28 days in cycle 1 with PTK787 on days 3 to 28. PTK787 WILL BE TAKEN AT NIGHT.

    In cycle 2 and beyond, paclitaxel will be given on days 1, 8 and 15 every 28 days . PTK787 will be taken orally NIGHTLY.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Paclitaxel plus PTK787 in people with Neoplasm Metastasis and Carcinoma, run by Indiana University 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 8 inclusion and 21 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 11 Sep 2014. 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?

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of paclitaxel in combination with PTK787 (time frame: Baseline through End of Study). 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 11 Sep 2014.
