About this study

Official title: Phase 1B Intravesical Administration of SCH 721015 (Ad-IFNa) in Admixture With SCH 209702 (Syn3) for The Treatment of BCG Refractory Superficial Bladder Cancer

The goal of this part (Part 1) of this clinical research study is to learn about the safety of giving 2 doses of SCH 72105 (also known as rAd-IFN) directly into the bladder to patients with bladder cancer that has come back. The goal of Part 2 of this study is to learn about the safety of giving 2 more doses of SCH 72105 directly into the bladder of Part 1 participants who had no sign of bladder cancer after Week 12. The level of effectiveness of SCH 72105 will also be studied by measuring the interferon (IFN) levels in the urine.

Read the detailed description

The Study Drug:

SCH 72105 is designed to cause "gene transfer" by giving a gene called interferon -alpha-2b into the body. SCH 72105 is made after being processed in the lab with a study drug called Syn3. This combination of study drugs is also called SCH 721015 with Syn3. Syn3 is designed to help the body make a protein called interferon -alpha-2b, and this may help the body's immune system to react against the cancer.

Study Drug Administration:

On Days 1 and 4, SCH 72105 will be given into your bladder over about 1 minute through a urinary catheter. A urinary catheter is a thin flexible tube placed through the urinary tube and into the bladder. SCH 72105 will stay in the bladder for about 1 hour. You will be asked to turn from left to right, back to stomach, every 15 minutes to allow the bladder surface to be exposed to the drug.

A belladonna and opium (B\&O) suppository will be inserted into your rectum about 30 minutes before the study drug doses. Levsin SL (hyoscyamine sulfate) will be given by mouth about 15 minutes before the study drug doses. These drugs are used to lower the risk of urinary urgency (a strong need to urinate).

Study Visits:

On Day 1:

  • Blood (about 3 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
  • Urine will be collected to test for IFN levels and to check for infection.
  • Your vital signs will be measured before and after the study drug dose.
  • You will be asked about any side effects and urinary symptoms you may have had and any drugs you may be taking.
  • Your performance status will be recorded.

On Days 2 and 3 and on Days 5-14:

  • Urine will be collected for biomarker testing. Biomarkers in your urine may be related to your reaction to the study drug.
  • Your performance status will be recorded.
  • You will be asked about any side effects and urinary symptoms you may have had and any drugs you may be taking.

On Day 4:

  • Blood (about 3 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
  • Urine will be collected for biomarker testing and to check for infection.
  • Your vital signs will be measured before and after the study drug dose.
  • You will be asked about any side effects and urinary symptoms you may have had and any drugs you may be taking.
  • Your performance status will be recorded.

During Days 1-11, you will add about 1/2 cup of bleach to the toilet bowl before every time you urinate. You will then wait 15 minutes before flushing. You should avoid public bathrooms on these days. This procedure is required to avoid exposing other people to the study drug.

One (1) time a week during Weeks 2-11, the study staff will call and ask you about any side effects and urinary symptoms you may have had and any drugs you may be taking. During these calls, your performance status will also be recorded.

At Week 12:

  • You will have a physical exam.
  • Blood (about 3 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
  • Urine will be collected for biomarker testing and to check for infection.
  • Your vital signs will be measured.
  • You will have an ECG. This ECG will be used as a screening test to help the doctor decide if you are eligible to take part in Part 2 of the study.
  • Your performance status will be recorded.
  • You will be asked about any side effects and urinary symptoms you may have had and any drugs you may be taking.
  • You will have a cystoscopy with biopsies to check the status of the disease. All areas that the doctor thinks might have a tumor will be biopsied. Your bladder will also be measured during this procedure.

Length of Participation:

You may receive the 2 doses of the study drug as planned, if the doctor thinks it is in your best interest. You will not be able to receive the second dose of the study drug if the disease gets worse or intolerable side effects occur.

Part 2 of the Study:

If the disease has completely responded by Week 12 (no sign of cancer), you will be asked to take part in Part 2 of this study. In Part 2, participants will receive another 2 doses of the study drug. There is a separate informed consent form that describes Part 2, including screening tests that will help the doctor decide if you are eligible. You will be asked to sign the informed consent form if you agree to take part.

The level of effectiveness of SCH72105 treatment will be studied by measurement of IFN levels in the daily urine collections.

End-of-Study Visit:

You may choose to stop your study participation at any time. If you choose to stop before the Week 12 visit, you will be asked to return for an end-of-study visit. You will also be called by the study staff to ask about your health 1 time a year for the next 2 years. The following tests and procedures will be performed at the end-of-study visit:

  • You will have a physical exam.
  • You will have an ECG.
  • Urine will be collected for routine tests.

Follow-Up:

If you had any signs of bladder cancer at Week 12, the study staff will call you at Months 6, 9, 12, 24, and 36. You will be asked if you have had any serious side effects.

This is an investigational study. SCH 72105 is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only.

Up to 9 patients will take part in this study (9 total, for Parts 1 and 2). All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing SCH 721015 in people with Bladder Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site 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 11 inclusion and 19 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 28 Nov 2016. 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 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?

Safety + Tolerability of 2 Instillations of Intravesical SCH 721015 in Admixture with Novel Excipient SCH 209702 (Syn3) on Day 1 and Day 4 (time frame: Daily urine collection for 14 days). 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 28 Nov 2016.
