About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Dose-Escalation Study of Elesclomol Sodium Administered Intravenously to Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

This is a phase 1 study to test the safety of escalating doses of elesclomol sodium given to patients with advanced myeloid leukemia.

Read the detailed description

This aim of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of elesclomol sodium at escalating doses (ultimately identifying the maximum tolerated dose) when administered to patients with advanced myeloid leukemia.

Being tested
Elesclomol Sodium

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of adverse events based on frequency, causality, and severity as a measure of safety and tolerability.

    • Characterize the safety and tolerability of elesclomol sodium administered to subjects with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML)

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Measurement of study drug concentrations to characterize pharmacokinetics.

    • Determination of PK of elesclomol and elesclomol metabolites in subjects with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assessment of Dose Limiting Toxicities and Response based on Peripheral Blood Counts and Bone Marrow

    • Determine the optimal Phase II dose and preliminary activity for elesclomol sodium in subjects with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Elesclomol Sodium in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2014. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Evaluation of adverse events based on frequency, causality, and severity as a measure of safety and tolerability. (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 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 3 Feb 2014.
