Safety and Efficacy Study Using 5-ALA Oral Administration as an Adjuvant Therapy on the Rate of Local Tumor Recurrence in Patients Who Have Desmoids Tumors

October 30, 2013 updated by: michal roll

A PHASE 2, SINGLE CENTRE, SINGLE ARM STUDY TO DETERMINE THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF 5- ALA POHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY AS ADJUVANT THERAPY AFTER SURGICAL DISSECTION IN PATIENTS WITH DESMOID TUMORS.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative 5-ALA oral administration and subsequently intraoperative tumor bed phototherapy with red light laser, as an adjuvant therapy on the 3 years rate of local tumor recurrence in patients with desmoid tumors. To evaluate the Safety of 5-ALA administration. 5 years local recurrence rate.

  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: 5-AminoLevulinicc Acid
consists of 60mg/kg 5-ALA prepared solution given orally, 3-5 hours before induction of anesthesia and surgical tumor resection. Red light laser given by a Dye laser system, wave length of 635nm, in s dose of 150J/cm for 2000 seconds (33 minutes) will be given to tumor bed. In the case of positive margins (for tumor presence), a second surgical intervention followed by second 60mg/kg 5-ALA administration will be performed.

Red light laser given by a Dye laser system, wave length of 635nm, in s dose of 150J/cm for 2000 seconds (33 minutes) will be given to tumor bed. In case of positive margins a second operation and 5-ALA administration or irradiation will be given.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
The primary endpoint is a binary variable where each patient is classified as a recurrence or a not recurrence case and will be determined by calculating the proportion of recurrence versus non recurrence rates
Time Frame: three years
three years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To assess the safety of study drug administration in the study population. To assess the 5 years local recurrence rate.
Time Frame: five years
Data from all subjects who receive any study drug will be included in the safety analyses. The severity of the toxicities will be graded according to the NCI CTCAE whenever possible. Adverse events will be summarized by worst NCI CTC grade. Adverse events classified as NCI CTCAE Grade 3 or Grade 4, study-drug-related events, and serious adverse events will be summarized separately. Laboratory data will be graded according to NCI CTCAE severity grade.
five years
