What is being measured

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

  1. Determine Toxicity Profile

    a primary outcome measure is to determine the toxicity profile of oral darinaparsin when given continuously for 21 days followed by a 7 day rest period per cycle

    Measured: One Year

  2. Determine Maximum Tolerated Dose

    a primary outcome measure is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of oral darinaparsin when given continuously for 21 days followed by a 7 day rest period per cycle

    Measured: One Year

  3. Determine the preliminary activity/efficacy

    a primary outcome measure is to determine the preliminary activity/efficacy of oral darinaparsin when given continuously for 21 days followed by a 7 day rest period per cycle

    Measured: One Year

  4. Determine Pharmacokinetic profile

    a primary outcome measure is to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of oral darinaparsin when given continuously for 21 days followed by a 7 day rest period per cycle

    Measured: One Year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing darinaparsin in people with Advanced Solid Tumors, run by Alaunos Therapeutics at 3 sites in United States.

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 13 inclusion and 15 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 19 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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?

Determine Toxicity Profile (time frame: One Year). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 Jul 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
