Who may be able to join

  • All subjects were to be females 18 years of age or older who met the following criteria:

  • The two subjects with obvious advanced stage ovarian cancer were to have either histopathologically proven stage 3 or 4 disease or clinically obvious disease defined by 2 of the following 3 conditions: (1) pelvic mass (2) omental "caking", or (3) ascites.
  • Subjects were to have newly diagnosed, treatment refractory, or recurrent disease. Subjects were to be treatment naïve or at least 2 months since last non-surgical treatment. Subjects were to have normal kidney and liver function.

About this study

Official title: CLINICAL STUDY OF A SINGLE-CENTER CLINICAL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE SAFETY AND BIODISTRIBUTION OF TECHNETIUM Tc 99m EC20 IN NORMAL VOLUNTEERS AND OVARIAN CANCER PATIENTS

Open-label, single-center, single-treatment group, baseline-controlled (for safety) study of the safety and biodistribution of Technetium Tc 99m EC20 in four normal subjects and four subjects with known or suspected ovarian cancer.

Read the detailed description

This was a single-center, open-label evaluation of a single injection of Tc 99m EC20 containing 0.1 mg EC20 labeled with 15 - 20 mCi of technetium-99m in normal volunteers and patients with known or suspected ovarian cancer. Two normal volunteers and two patients also were to receive an injection of 0.25 - 2.0 mg folic acid 1 to 2 minutes prior to the injection of Tc 99m EC20. Serial blood samples and urine were collected during the 24-hour period following each injection for pharmacokinetic evaluation. Serial whole body images were acquired during the 24-hour postdose period for dosimetry evaluations. Safety was monitored through predose and postdose physical examinations, electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital signs and clinical laboratory evaluations. Adverse events were monitored from the time of signing of Informed Consent to 24 hours postdose.

Single-center, open-labelExperimentalThe study was designed as a single-center, open-label clinical study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, dosimetry and metabolism of Tc 99m EC20 in normal volunteers and in patients with known or suspected ovarian cancer. Eight subjects were to be enrolled at one center: four normal subjects, four patients with ovarian cancer. Each subject was to receive a single injection of Tc 99m EC20 complex composed of 0.1 mg ligand (EC20) and 15 - 20 mCi of Tc 99m. Two (2) of the 4 normal subjects and 2 of the 4 patients were to receive an injection of 0.25-2.0 mg folic acid 1-2 minutes prior to the injection of Tc 99m EC20.
Receives: Drug: Tc 99m EC20

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the biodistribution and excretion of the radioactive drug substance (Technetium Tc 99m EC20) and estimate the radiation absorbed dose

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tc 99m EC20 in people with Ovarian Cancer and Healthy Volunteers, run by Endocyte 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 6 inclusion and 7 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 22 Jun 2023. 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?

Determine the biodistribution and excretion of the radioactive drug substance (Technetium Tc 99m EC20) and estimate the radiation absorbed dose (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 22 Jun 2023.
