About this study

Official title: Metoprolol for the Treatment of Cytokine Release Syndrome in Patients Treated With Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells

The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of metoprolol, a beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker, in the treatment of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) caused by chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cell infusions, its effects on the serum levels of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and other cytokines.

Being tested
Metoprolol, metoprolol, infliximab, etanercept, tocilizumab and/or other agents
Keywords

Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • MetoprololDrug

    Metoprolol was given in patients who received CAR T cell therapy for CRS control or CRS precaution.

  • metoprolol, infliximab, etanercept, tocilizumab and/or other agentsDrug

    During the term of metoprolol use, antibodies (infliximab, etanercept and tocilizumab) and/or other agents were not completely limited to be used under the consideration of clinical requirement for sufficient control of continuously progressed CRS.

Study groups in NCT04082910
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Conditional therapy mode groupExperimentalMetoprolol (12.5-25 mg per dose, every 12 hours) was initially given from the day of CRS diagnosis confirmation post CAR T cell infusions till CRS remission in patients without bulky tumor burden. For all metoprolol-treated patients, the use of antibodies (infliximab, etanercept and tocilizumab) and/or other agents were not completely limited under the consideration of clinical requirement for sufficient control of continuously progressed CRS.
Receives: Drug: Metoprolol; Drug: metoprolol, infliximab, etanercept, tocilizumab and/or other agents
Prophylactic therapy mode groupExperimentalMetoprolol (12.5-25 mg per dose, every 12 hours) was given starting from the day before CAR T infusion till CRS remission in patients with bulky disease. For all metoprolol-treated patients, the use of antibodies (infliximab, etanercept and tocilizumab) and/or other agents were not completely limited under the consideration of clinical requirement for sufficient control of continuously progressed CRS.
Receives: Drug: Metoprolol; Drug: metoprolol, infliximab, etanercept, tocilizumab and/or other agents

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and tolerability of metoprolol in patients treated by CAR T infusions.

    Reduction of heart rate in bpm (beats per minute)

    Measured: 2-4 weeks

  2. Safety and tolerability of metoprolol in patients treated by CAR T infusions.

    Reduction of blood pressure in mmHg

    Measured: 2-4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Efficacy of metoprolol for CRS control

    Reduction of Body temperature in degree centigrade

    Measured: 2-4 weeks

  2. Efficacy of metoprolol for CRS precaution

    Reduction of serum IL-6 in pg/dl.

    Measured: 2-4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Metoprolol and metoprolol, infliximab, etanercept, tocilizumab and/or other agents in people with Solid Tumor and Hematological Malignancy, run by Chinese PLA General Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 1 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2022. 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 China. 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Weidong Han, M.D. (+861066939711, hanwdrsw@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and tolerability of metoprolol in patients treated by CAR T infusions. (time frame: 2-4 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 13 Apr 2022.
