Trial summary

This first-in-human study aims to establish the maximum tolerated dose of PG545 and to evaluate its safety in subjects with advanced solid tumours. In addition the study will explore whether PG545 exposure results in changes to chemicals produced by the body that are associated with cancer growth and spread. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Single Centre Phase I Study of the Safety and Tolerability of PG545 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumours

This first-in-human study aims to establish the maximum tolerated dose of PG545 and to evaluate its safety in subjects with advanced solid tumours. In addition the study will explore whether PG545 exposure results in changes to chemicals produced by the body that are associated with cancer growth and spread.

What participants receive

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

  • PG545Drug

    PG545 Lyophilized Powder for Subcutaneous Injection. Patients will be dosed once weekly until they exhibit disease progression, are discontinued for reasons of tolerability, or the study reaches its defined end-point. This study is a dose escalation study with doses of 25 mg to 500 mg planned.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Based on DLT

    The primary objective of this study is the determination of the MTD. Due to the premature termination of the study the MTD could not be determined. The outcome measure presented is the number of DLTs per cohort.

    Measured: Following first 1 month cycle

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PG545 in people with Advanced Solid Tumours, run by Zucero Pty Ltd at 1 site in Australia.

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 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Oct 2017. 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 Australia. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Aug 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 (MTD) Based on DLT (time frame: Following first 1 month cycle). 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 9 Oct 2017.
