Phase I Trial of Intraperitoneal Bevacizumab in Refractory Malignant Ascites

May 19, 2013 updated by: Shen Lin, Peking University

Phase I Trial of Intraperitoneal Bevacizumab in Refractory Malignant Ascites.

Malignant ascites often has a profound impact on the quality of life of cancer patients. Current treatments,including dietary, medical, and procedural are often temporary and unsatisfactory options in patients approaching the end of life. Intraperitoneal bevacizumab for the palliation of malignant ascites might be a novel choice for refractory malignant ascites.

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.

What is the study measuring?

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
adverse events
Time Frame: during the treatment in the hospital,an expected average of 1 week
participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 1 week
during the treatment in the hospital,an expected average of 1 week
Maximum tolerated dose
Time Frame: 1 week
during the treatment in the hosptital
1 week

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Objective response rate
Time Frame: 1 week
ultrasound will be performed every week for efficacy evaluation
1 week
time to treatment failure(TTF)

1 month
time to death(TTD)
Time Frame: 2 months

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
