About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study of Topotecan Liposomes Injection (TLI) in Subjects With Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), Ovarian Cancer and Other Advanced Solid Tumors

A multi-center, open-label, two-arm, dose-escalation study to establish the safety, tolerability, MTD, and schedule of TLI administered intravenously as a 30 minute infusion in adult subjects with advanced solid tumors that have relapsed, are refractory to standard therapy, or for whom there is no standard therapy available.

The two dosing regimens to be evaluated are:

  • Arm A: TLI dose on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day treatment cycle (Starting dose: 1 mg/m2)
  • Arm B: TLI dose on Day 1 of a 21-day treatment cycle (Starting dose: 2 mg/m2)

When one of the two arms reaches MTD, all future subjects will then be enrolled in the remaining study arm until MTD of that arm is reached.

Read the detailed description

The study will utilize an accelerated design with small initial cohort sizes that allow fewer subjects to be enrolled at sub-therapeutic doses such as the very low starting doses in both arms of the study. Initial cohorts will include only one subject and dose escalations will be in 100% increments until a single Grade 2 toxicity related to study drug or DLT occurs in Cycle 1. Dose escalation will proceed until the MTD is exceeded. MTD is defined as average of the highest dose level for which 2 out of 6 subjects experience a DLT and the previous dose level, provided no additional DLTs occur. Subjects who discontinue TLI treatment before completion of Cycle 1 for reasons other than toxicity will not be evaluable for the determination of MTD and will be replaced.

The study will consist of a screening period, treatment period, and a post-treatment period. Subjects will be followed for 30 days after their last TLI dose. Safety and tolerability parameters include clinical laboratory assessments, vital signs, physical examinations, and adverse events (AEs).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Topotecan Liposomes Injection (TLI) in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer and Ovarian Cancer, run by Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc 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 17 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 13 Nov 2020. 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?

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?

Evaluate the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose of 2 different dosing schedules of TLI administered intravenously (time frame: 21 days following initial dose). 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 13 Nov 2020.
