About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib Study of Combination of Temsirolimus (Torisel®) and Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD, Doxil®/ Caelyx®) in Advanced or Recurrent Breast, Endometrial and Ovarian Cancer

A study to examine the combination of temsirolimus and Caelyx® (chemotherapeutic) in advanced or recurrent breast, endometrial and ovarian cancer.

Read the detailed description

To assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose of the combination of temsirolimus and Caelyx® in patients with advanced or therapy refractory breast cancer, endometrial cancer, or ovarian cancer.

Being tested
Temsirolimus/PLD
Keywords
temsirolimus (Torisel®), pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD, Doxil®/ Caelyx®)
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • Temsirolimus/PLDDrug

    This is a dose escalation study. Patients will start with temsirolimus iv once weekly. After 2 weeks, PLD therapy is added. From then on, PLD is repeated every 4 weeks. One cycle is 28 days. The DLT period is also defined within the first 28 days of combination therapy (thus the first 6 weeks of study participation). The first dose level (DL) is DL 1. Depending on toxicity, intermediate dose levels can be added. If no MTD is found in the sixth cohort, this dose level will be considered as the recommended dose (RD), being the optimal dose for both drugs in this combination. At the MTD dose level, the dose level will be expanded to a total of 12 patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Temsirolimus/PLD in people with Advanced/Recurrent Breast Cancer and Endometrial Cancer, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 6 inclusion and 23 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Apr 2012. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact C.M.L. van Herpen, Md, Phd (+31 24 3610353, c.vanherpen@onco.umcn.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MTD, pharmacokinetic parameters (time frame: 2 years). 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 Apr 2012.
