About this study

Official title: Phase I-II Trial of Genistein in Subjects Receiving Palliative External Beam Radiation Therapy for Osseous Metastases: A Study of Palliation of Symptoms and Quality of Life

RATIONALE: Genistein may increase the effectiveness of radiation therapy in treating pain caused by bone metastases.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of genistein and to see how well it works in treating patients undergoing external-beam radiation therapy for pain caused by bone metastases.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine whether genistein is safe when administered in combination with palliative external beam radiotherapy in patients with osseous metastases.
  • To determine the time to pain relief, duration of pain relief, and degree of pain relief in patients treated with this regimen.
  • To determine the incidence of pathologic fractures in patients treated with this regimen.
  • To determine the effect of this regimen on quality of life measures in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients undergo external beam radiotherapy once daily on days 1-10. Patients also receive oral genistein once daily on days 1-60.

Patients complete pain and quality-of-life questionnaires periodically.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed at 30 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing genistein and radiation therapy in people with Breast Cancer and Kidney Cancer, run by Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota.

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 48 inclusion and 8 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Safety (time frame: At completion of first 6 patients). 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 Dec 2017.
