About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Vinblastine and Sirolimus in Pediatric Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Solid Tumors Including CNS Tumors

This study is a Phase I study using vinblastine and sirolimus in patients with relapsed solid tumors including selected brain tumors and lymphoma. The investigators hypothesis is that the combination administration of weekly vinblastine and sirolimus is safe.

Read the detailed description

Published data demonstrating a survival advantage of the vinblastine-sirolimus regimen vs single agent in an orthopotic neuroblastoma mouse model and our unpublished data support a VBL in vitro pro-apoptotic plasma concentration of 1-2 nM range and an anti angiogenic concentration of 2pM. These plasma concentrations are achievable with a 6 mg/m2 (apoptosis) and 1 mg/m2 VBL regimen (anti-angiogenesis) weekly regimen. We expect that vinblastine delivered at any given dose, as described in the protocol, will carry both anti-apoptotic and antiangiogenic activity. Safety and preliminary efficacy of both drugs in pediatric tumors support the development of a clinical trial.

What participants receive

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

  • Vinblastine and SirolimusDrug

    Also called Vinblastine Sulfate Injection, Rapamune

    Patients will be enrolled to receive vinblastine and sirolimus in 28 day cycles. Using the 3+3 standard Phase1 design, vinblastine will be administered via IV push on Days 1, 8, 15, 22. The starting dose of 4 mg/m2 (Dose Level 1) is 67% of the established MTD (6 mg/m2) for this schedule in pediatrics. Dose escalation will take place in a standard 3+3 design, in which doses will increase by approximately 20 to 25% in successive 3-patient cohorts.

    Sirolimus (rapamycin) will be given by mouth (tablet or suspension) once daily throughout the cycle. Ideally patients will remain on the same dose form (tablet or suspension) for the duration of the study. All patients will be assigned a target sirolimus serum trough

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Vinblastine and SirolimusExperimentalThe standard 3+3 Phase 1 trial design will be used for the conduct of this study. Three to six patients can be concurrently enrolled onto a dose level. Accrual is suspended when a cohort of three has been enrolled until toxicity data for that cohort have been reported, or when the study endpoints have been met.
Receives: Drug: Vinblastine and Sirolimus

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose of vinblastine in combination with sirolimus

    Maximum tolerated dose (as defined by protocol) of vinblastine in combination with sirolimus

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Safety data

    Safety data will be described for all patients receiving at least one dose of vinblastine and sirolimus. Safety data will include values for hematology, serum chemistry, vital signs, and adverse events. The proportion of patients experiencing adverse events, serious adverse events, dose limiting toxicities and treatment delays will be summarized for each dosing cohort.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Response Rate

    The proportion of patients experiencing progressive disease, stable disease, partial responses or complete responses will be summarized in tabular format. Progression free survival and duration of any responses will also be summarized.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Vinblastine and Sirolimus in people with Solid Tumors and Central Nervous System Tumors, run by The Hospital for Sick Children at 5 sites in 2 countries.

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 20 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 20 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States, Canada. 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?

Maximum tolerated dose of vinblastine in combination with sirolimus (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT01135563, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Sep 2019.
