About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Sodium Selenite in Combination With Palliative Radiation Therapy in Patients With Metastatic Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of sodium selenite when administered in combination with radiation therapy to subjects with metastatic cancer based on safety and tolerability.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objectives:

  • To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of sodium selenite when given in combination with palliative radiation therapy
  • To assess the safety and tolerability of the combination of sodium selenite and palliative radiation therapy in metastatic cancer

Secondary Objectives:

  • To assess the pharmacokinetics of sodium selenite
  • To evaluate the anti tumor activity of sodium selenite and palliative radiation therapy when given in combination

OUTLINE:

Patients receive sodium selenite orally (PO) 2 hours before daily radiation therapy treatments. Treatment continues for the duration of the course of radiation therapy in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 2 months.

Being tested
sodium selenite, radiation therapy, laboratory biomarker analysis, pharmacological study, questionnaire administration
Medical subject headings
Prostatic Neoplasms, Multiple Myeloma, Plasmacytoma

What is being measured

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

  1. MTD defined as the maximum dose at which =< 1 of 3 to 6 subjects in a dose group experience a drug-related dose-limiting toxicity, graded according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version (v)4.0

    Measured: 3 weeks

  2. Safety and tolerability of the combination using the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria v4.0 grading system for adverse events

    Safety observations and measurements including adverse events, laboratory data, vital signs, and performance status will be summarized.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile

    PK parameters will be calculated using non-compartmental and/or compartmental models and PK parameters (if possible, maximum concentration [Cmax], time to Cmax, area under the curve during the dosing interval, half-life, oral clearance) will be summarized and presented.

    Measured: Week 1, day 1: at predose; 15 minutes; and at 1, 2, 4, and 24 hours; weeks 2 and 4, day 1: at predose and 1 hour

  2. Overall biochemical response rate

    Biochemical response defined as PSA decline >= 50% from baseline at 8 weeks of therapy and which has been confirmed with a second PSA at >= 3 weeks later.

    Measured: Up to 11 weeks

  3. Tumor responses within the radiation therapy field, assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  4. Response rate (complete response, partial response and stable disease) within the radiation therapy field

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing sodium selenite, radiation therapy and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate and Hormone-resistant Prostate Cancer, run by Stanford University 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 8 inclusion and 16 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 28 May 2024. 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?

MTD defined as the maximum dose at which =< 1 of 3 to 6 subjects in a dose group experience a drug-related dose-limiting toxicity, graded according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version (v)4.0 (time frame: 3 weeks). 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 28 May 2024.
