Trial summary

Real-time detection of cancer cells during surgical removal of a tumor is important. Currently when tissue is removed at the time of surgery, the removed tissue goes to pathology when the margins (edges of the tissue) are examined to see if cancer cells are present. This may take a few to several days. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of the Safety and Activation of a Cathepsin-Activatable Fluorescent Cancer Specific Probe LUM015

Real-time detection of cancer cells during surgical removal of a tumor is important. Currently when tissue is removed at the time of surgery, the removed tissue goes to pathology when the margins (edges of the tissue) are examined to see if cancer cells are present. This may take a few to several days. Patients tissue with positive (cancer cells present) margins may require additional therapies including surgery. The purpose of this study is to determine a safe dose of a new imaging agent (LUM015), like a fluorescent contrast agent or dye, that will show in the tumor area during surgery and may help facilitate visualization of tumor for its removal.

What participants receive

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

LUM015ExperimentalReceive single dose of LUM015 through a vein in the arm the day prior to surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose of LUM015 in mg

    Dose of LUM015 in mg that is tolerated and labels tumors

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Mean number of fluorescence counts per second per square centimeter

    Measured: At time of surgery

  2. To obtain PK/PD information regarding LUM015 when administered IV in patients.

    The pharmacokinetic parameters to be measured will include: area under the curve (AUCt), maximum concentration (Cmax), time to maximum concentration (tmax) and first-order terminal (elimination) rate constant. Secondary (derived) parameters will include: terminal half-life (t1/2), clearance (CL), mean residence time (MRT), and apparent volume of distribution during the terminal phase (Vz). The distribution of these parameters will be described for each dose cohort separately; breast and sarcoma patients will be combined.

    Measured: Two years

  3. To analyze cathepsin protease expression in tumors.

    Cathepsin expression in tumors, measured in arbitrary units by Real-Time PCR compared to adjacent normal tissue when available, will be assessed in sarcomas and breast tumors. For each tissue specimen the expression of cathepsin will be compared to the imaging signal. Scatterplots of cathepsin level against imaging signal will be made according to tissue type within each dose cohort.

    Measured: 2 Years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing LUM015 in people with Sarcoma and Soft Tissue Sarcoma, run by David Kirsch 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 10 inclusion and 13 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 9 Dec 2015. 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?

Dose of LUM015 in mg (time frame: 24 hours). 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 Dec 2015.
