简要总结
-
The primary objectives of this study are:
-
To determine the tolerability of RTA 744 Injection in patients with leptomeningeal disease (LMD) secondary to any type of primary tumor.
-
In a selected group of 6-10 patients who will receive RTA 744 at or near the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), to characterize the multiple-dose pharmacokinetics of RTA 744 in plasma and CSF.
-
The secondary objectives of this study are:
-
To document any potential antitumor activity of RTA 744 in this patient population.
-
To correlate pharmacokinetic information with clinical (efficacy and safety) responses, as a possible help in selecting appropriate doses for later studies.
详细描述
RTA 744 is designed to enter the spinal fluid and kill cancer cells both in the spinal fluid and in the rest of body.
Before you can start receiving the study drug, you will have "screening tests." These tests will help the doctor decide if you are eligible to take part in this study. Your complete medical history will be recorded. You will be asked about any drugs you have taken and are taking. You will have a physical exam, including measurement of vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and breathing rate). You will have a neurological exam. Blood (about 2 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests. This routine blood draw will include a pregnancy test for women who are able to have children. To be eligible to take part in this study, the pregnancy test must be negative. Urine will be collected over a 24-hour period to test kidney function and for routine tests. You will have a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain and spine.
You will have a chest x-ray. You will be asked questions about your ability to perform daily activities (performance status evaluation). You will have an electrocardiogram (ECG -- a test that measures the electrical activity of the heart). You will have either a multiple gated acquisition scan (MUGA) or an echocardiogram to check your heart's health. Samples (1 1/2 teaspoons) of cerebrospinal fluid from your spine and brain will be collected to look for the presence of cancer cells. The spinal sample will be collected through a lumbar puncture (spinal tap). The other sample will be taken from your brain through an Ommaya Reservoir tap. Radioactive dye will be injected into the CSF to make sure the CSF flows freely throughout the spinal canal. This is called an Indium-111 DPTA or Technetium 99m-DPTA Flow Study.
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you should receive the same dose of RTA 744 throughout the study. The amount of study drug you receive will be determined by when you begin the study. Every 21 days on study is considered 1 study "cycle." If you have intolerable side effects, the drug dosing for the next cycle may be delayed for up to 21 days to allow any symptoms or side effects to resolve. You may be given a lower dose level.
The first participant on this study will receive the dose that has been found to be well-tolerated in an ongoing study involving participants with primary brain tumors. After this participant has completed 1 study cycle, the next participant will be given a higher dose of RTA 744. Each new participant will receive a higher dose level until a patient has an intolerable side effect. When this happens, at least 2 more participants will be given the dose level that causes the intolerable side effect. If there are no further intolerable side effects to RTA 744, the next group of 3 participants will be given the next higher dose of RTA 744. Each time, the dose of RTA 744 will not be increased until the effects of the previous dose level have been studied. Doses will increase with each group of patients until the highest tolerable dose is found.
