About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Phase I Study of TCD-717 Given by 4-Hour Intravenous Infusion in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This is a Phase I dose escalation study of TCD-717, a novel drug that is a specific inhibitor of the enzyme choline kinase alpha, in patients with advanced solid tumors. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety of the drug and to determine the maximum tolerated dose and appropriate dose for phase II studies. Secondary objectives are to measure the efficacy of TCD-717; and in a substudy to be conducted in the MTD confirmation cohort only, to evaluate the potential correlation between the levels of tumor choline and tumor response to the choline kinase alpha inhibitor, TCD-717, using magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Pharmacokinetics analysis will be performed on patients enrolled in the maximum tolerated dose confirmation cohort.

Read the detailed description

TCD Pharma has developed TCD-717, a novel drug that is a specific inhibitor of the enzyme choline kinase alpha (ChoKα), involved in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, which constitutes the major phospholipid in eukaryotic cell membranes and has been described as a potent oncogen when overexpressed in human cells. TCD-717 will be evaluated in this Phase I, open-label, single arm study to be performed at multiple centers. TCD-717 will be administered as a 4 hour infusion on two separate days per 7-day period per 28-day cycle (8 administrations per cycle). Eligible patients must have confirmed, metastatic or recurrent/refractory solid tumors.

What participants receive

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

  • TCD-717Drug

    Patients will receive TCD-717 at the following dose levels:

    2, 4, 7, 10, 14, 19, 25, 31, 39, 49 or 61 mg/m^2

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety of TCD-717 given by 4-hour intravenous infusion

    Patients will be monitored throughout the study for adverse events and dose limting toxicities.

    Measured: Duration of the study

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Antitumor activity of TCD-717 given by 4-hour intravenous infusion

    Efficacy of TCD-717 will be asessed by RECIST 1.1

    Measured: Duration of study

  2. MTD confirmation cohort only: Pharmacokinetics (PK) of TCD-717 given by 4-hour infusion

    For patients enrolled in MTD confirmation cohort, PK (Cmax, Tmax, AUC) will be measured during Cycle 1

    Measured: Day 1-28 of Cycle 1

  3. To evaluate the potential correlation between the levels of tumor choline and tumor response to the choline kinase alpha inhibitor TCD-717 using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) (Substudy, MTD confirmation cohort only).

    MTD confirmation cohort only

    Measured: First scan will be pre-treatment (within 2 wks prior to start of treatment), then on Cycle 1 Day 25, and then within 7 days after determining disease progression

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TCD-717 in people with Advanced Solid Tumors, run by Traslational Cancer Drugs Pharma, SL at 2 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 10 inclusion and 10 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 8 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

Safety of TCD-717 given by 4-hour intravenous infusion (time frame: Duration of the study). 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 8 Aug 2014.
