Trial summary

Chemotherapy Induced Thrombocytopenia is a common side-effect of bone marrow suppression as a result of a chemotherapy treatment. AS101 is a tellurium based small compound with immunomodulating characteristics which attributed to the direct inhibition of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Open Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of AS101 for the Treatment of Thrombocytopenia in Solid Tumor

Chemotherapy Induced Thrombocytopenia is a common side-effect of bone marrow suppression as a result of a chemotherapy treatment. AS101 is a tellurium based small compound with immunomodulating characteristics which attributed to the direct inhibition of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. AS101 was previously shown to induce a significant reduction in thrombocytopenia that accompany cancer therapy with no major toxicity . This phase II randomized open study will evaluate the efficacy of AS101 for the treatment of chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia in patients with various solid tumors.

AS101

What participants receive

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

  • AS101Drug

    intravenous infusions of 3mg/m2 AS101 twice a week in addition to the standard chemotherapy regimen during the following 4 chemotherapy courses.

Study groups in NCT00926354
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
AS101 infusionExperimentalTwenty patients who developed thrombocytopenia after a chemotherapy course will receive i.v. infusions of 3mg/m2 AS101 twice a week in addition to the standard chemotherapy regimen, during the following 4 chemotherapy courses.
Receives: Drug: AS101
Control groupNo interventionTwenty patients who developed thrombocytopenia during chemotherapy course will be treated according to standard of care and will not receive the investigational product. Their medical condition will be followed and a complete blood count will be performed routinely once weekly.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of thrombocytopenia events (platelets <70,000) over the study period of the study groups

    Measured: continously during study and 6 months after study termination

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluation of Safety and tolerability; Thrombocytopenia events that caused treatment delays and chemotherapy dose; reductions; Progression Free Survival (PFS); Response Rate (RR);

    Measured: continously during study and 6 months after study termination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AS101 in people with Chemotherapy Induced Thrombocytopenia, run by BioMAS Ltd at 1 site in Israel.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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 21 Jun 2011. 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 Israel. 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 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 stopped early (reason given: Sponsor's considerations). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Incidence of thrombocytopenia events (platelets <70,000) over the study period of the study groups (time frame: continously during study and 6 months after study termination). 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 21 Jun 2011.
