About this study

Official title: Chemoembolisation of Non Resectable, Non Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinomas Combining DC Bead Microspheres Loaded With Idarubicin (Zavedos®): Phase I Trial

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximal tolerated dose of idarubicin for chemoembolization of non resectable non metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common malignancy and the third most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Most of the patients are diagnosed at intermediate-advanced stage when the sole standard treatment is transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). In the literature, survival rates in TACE studies vary widely and finally, there is no suggestion for the best chemotherapeutic agent or the optimal treatment regimen.

We hypothesise that the use of idarubicin (the most cytotoxic drug on HCC cell lines) in DC Bead would enhance the efficacy of TACE. The primary objective of the study is to determine the maximal tolerated dose of idarubicin in DC Bead for chemoembolization of non resectable non metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.

What participants receive

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

  • idarubicinDrug

    Also called 4-MDR, IMI 30, IDA

    Transarterial chemoembolization (in the hepatic artery) with idarubicin 5mg or 10 mg or 15 mg or 20 mg or 25 mg injected in a solution of 2ml DC Bead (300 µm-500µm); 1 unique course

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
IdarubicinExperimentalDose escalation: level0 = idarubicin 5mg, level1 = idarubicin 10mg, level2 = idarubicin 15mg, level3 = idarubicin 20mg, level4 = idarubicin 25mg
Receives: Drug: idarubicin

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose-limiting toxicity assessed according NCI CTC AE v3.0

    Measured: Within the first month after chemoembolization

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Objective responses according criteria of the European Association for the Study of the Liver and according RECIST criteria.

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30)

    Measured: 2 months

  3. Pharmacokinetics parameters of idarubicin and idarubicinol

    Measured: Within 72 hours after chemioembolization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing idarubicin in people with Carcinoma, Hepatocellular, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon at 1 site in France.

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 9 inclusion and 9 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 9 Jan 2013. 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 France. 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?

Dose-limiting toxicity assessed according NCI CTC AE v3.0 (time frame: Within the first month after chemoembolization). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01040559, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 9 Jan 2013.
