About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial Assessing Adalimumab (Humira®), a Tumor Necrosis Factor α Inhibitor Combined to Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy in Patients With Anaplastic Thyroid Cancers

The hypothesis is that the particular richness of ATC's microenvironment in TAMs creates a unique opportunity for using Tumor Necrosis Factor blockade during chemotherapy and radiotherapy in order to counteract tumor resistance to therapy.

Being tested
Adalimumab
Medical subject headings
Thyroid Carcinoma, Anaplastic

Dose escalationExperimentalAdalimumab will be administrated subcutaneously 1h prior to chemotherapy at D1W1, D1W3, D1W5, D1W7, and D1W9, starting with the chemotherapy for a total duration of 9 weeks (5 injections in total)
Receives: Drug: Adalimumab

What is being measured

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Adalimumab in people with Anaplastic Thyroid Cancers, run by Gustave Roussy, Cancer Campus, Grand Paris at 1 site in France.

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 12 inclusion and 15 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2016. 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 France. 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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Recommended dose (time frame: Up to 9 weeks). 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 26 Jan 2016.
