About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Trial of TPI-287 in Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Neuroblastoma and Medulloblastoma

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a new investigational drug (TPI 287) for neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma. An investigational drug is one that has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. This investigational drug is called TPI 287. This study will look at the tumor's response to the study drug, TPI 287, as well as the safety and tolerability of the drug.

TPI 287 was shown to be effective in stopping tumor growth and was also shown to be safe in three different animal species. TPI 287 has been tested in humans in four clinical trials, and approximately 100 subjects with various types of cancers have received the drug, including a pediatric population in our previous Phase I trial.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    Phase I portion of trial- To determine the safety and tolerability of TPI 287 as a single agent in pediatric and young adult patients with refractory or recurrent neuroblastoma or medulloblastoma. Adverse events collected from time of first dose to 30 days past last dose and until all related events resolved, average of one year.

    Measured: length of study +30 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Participants With Overall Response Assessed Using RECIST Criteria

    Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Number of Days Participants Experienced Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Median Overall Survival (OS) of Participants

    Overall Survival (OS) and clinical benefit (ORR + stable disease, SD)

    Measured: 3 years

  4. Quality of Life of Children Receiving TPI287 Using PedsQL Questionnaires

    To evaluate the impact of QOL of children receiving TPI287 using PedsQL questionnaires

    Measured: 3 years

  5. To Evaluate the Drug Levels and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of TPI 287 From Blood Samples at Multiple Time Points Within the First 24 Hours on Study.

    To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of TPI 287 in the Phase I population of this trial.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing TPI 287 in people with Neuroblastoma and Medulloblastoma, run by Giselle Sholler at 8 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 21 inclusion and 6 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 6 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 28 Oct 2016). 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?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability (time frame: length of study +30 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 6 Aug 2024.
