What participants receive

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

  • TopotecanDrug

    Intratumorally-administered topotecan using convection-enhanced delivery (CED) in patients with suspected recurrent/progressive High Grade Glioma (HGG) requiring stereotactic biopsy and is focused on investigating topotecan brain tissue distribution and determining the safety, toxicity, and tolerability of intratumorally-administered topotecan.

Study groups in NCT03927274
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cleveland Multiport Catheter (CMC) + TopotecanExperimentalFor predominantly enhanced tumors with volume of 8 cc or less, only 1 Cleveland Multiport Catheter (CMC) will be placed and convection-enhanced delivery (CED) will be performed over a 4-hour period within an MRI scanner, with the goal of complete tumor coverage (as evidenced by tracer distribution on MRI). The initial rate will be 1.20 ml/hour (5.0 microliters/minute/microcatheter) and infusion will be monitored by intermittent MRI imaging. The rate may be adjusted upwards during the infusion, in the event of incomplete tumor coverage, or downwards, if new mass effect is apparent. Following completion of the 4-hour infusion, the CMC will be removed. The initial rate for each subsequent patient may be adjusted upwards in increments of up to 5 microliters/minute/microcatheter based upon the tumor coverage and safety characteristics of the previously treated patients.
Receives: Drug: Topotecan

What is being measured

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

  1. Distribution of topotecan in tumor tissue

    The spatial distribution of intratumorally-administered topotecan will be determined using a gadolinium-based contrast agent, volumetric magnetic resonance imaging, and three-dimensional image reconstruction.

    Measured: Treatment day 1

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Adverse Events (AEs) experienced by participants

    Measured: Up to 48 weeks

  2. Extent of topotecan backflow

    Investigate the extent to which backflow may be observed on MRI during CED-mediated delivery of topotecan

    Measured: Treatment day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Topotecan in people with Glioma of Brain, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute 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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 stopped early (reason given: Funding unavailable). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Distribution of topotecan in tumor tissue (time frame: Treatment day 1). 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 25 May 2023.
