Trial summary

This Phase Ia study aims to establish the maximum tolerated dose of once-weekly IV infused 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… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multi-centre Phase I Study of the Safety and Tolerability of IV Infused PG545 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumours

This Phase Ia study aims to establish the maximum tolerated dose of once-weekly IV infused 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 will be administered once weekly, as a one hour IV infusion. Patients will be treated until they exhibit disease progression, withdraw due to poor tolerability, or the study reaches its defined end-point. This study is a dose escalation study with doses of 25 mg to 250 mg anticipated.

Receives: Drug: PG545

What is being measured

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

  1. Determination of maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of PG545

    The MTD will be determined by assessing dose limiting toxicities at the end of the first month's treatment. Dose escalation and de-escalation will continue until an MTD is identified. Each cohort of patients will receive weekly doses at a single dose level for the duration of the study.

    Measured: Evaluated at the end of initial 28-day cycle

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of adverse events by cohort

    Measured: Subjects will be followed for the duration of their treatment (an expected average of 12 weeks), and for four weeks post-treatment

  2. Severity of adverse events by cohort

    Measured: Subjects will be followed for the duration of their treatment (an expected average of 12 weeks), and for four weeks post-treatment

  3. Assessment of the anti-tumour activity of PG545 using RECIST criteria

    Measured: Subjects will be followed for the duration of their treatment (an expected average of 12 weeks), and then up to four weeks post-treatment

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 2 sites 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 8 inclusion and 10 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 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 2 sites 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?

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?

Determination of maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of PG545 (time frame: Evaluated at the end of initial 28-day cycle). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02042781, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
