RAD001 in Combination With CP-751,871 in Patients Wtih Advanced Sarcomas and Other Malignant Neoplasms

November 12, 2013 updated by: Suzanne George, MD

Phase I Clinical Trial of RAD001 in Combination With CP-751,871 in Patients With Advanced Sarcomas and Other Malignant Neoplasms

The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety of the combination of RAD001 and CP-751,871, as well as the highest dose of this combination that can be given to people safely. RAD001 is a newly discovered drug that may stop cancer cells from growing abnormally. This drug has been extensively studied in many cancers. In particular, it has shown to be effective in slowing down the growth of kidney cancer. CP-751,871 is another newly discovered drug that may stop tumor growth. It is currently being studied in a wide variety of cancers, and information from those other research studies suggests that these two drugs in combination may help to stop cancer growth.

Study Overview

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

  • In this research study, each "cycle" of study drug dosing lasts 21 days. In the first cycle, participants will come to the clinic on Days 1, 8, and 15. During cycles 2 through 4, participants will come to the clinic on Days 1 and 8. The rest of the clinic visits will occur on Day 1 of every cycle thereafter.
  • During each cycle, participants will take RAD001 orally, once a day in the morning. In addition, participants will receive CP-751,871 intravenously once every cycle on the first day of each cycle.
  • Since we are looking for the highest dose of the study drug that can be administered safely without severe or unmanageable side effects, not everyone who participates in this research study will receive the same dose of the study drug. The dose will depend on the number of participants enrolled in the study and how well they tolerated their doses.
  • Participants may remain on this research study as long as they do not have serious side effects or their diseae does not get worse.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
