Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, PCLX-001, to see if it is safe and effective. The trial has two parts: Part A is testing different doses of the drug to see what is safe, and Part B is testing the drug in different groups of people to see how well it works.

Who is the study for?
Adults with certain advanced cancers (like B-cell lymphomas and solid tumors) who've tried at least one other treatment without success are eligible for this trial. They should have a life expectancy of over 12 weeks, be able to perform daily activities with minimal assistance (ECOG status 0-1), and have organs functioning well enough to meet specific medical tests. Pregnant women can't join, and participants must agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing PCLX-001, an oral drug, in two parts: dose escalation to find the safe amount that can be given, followed by expansion cohorts where more patients receive this determined dose. It's open-label meaning everyone knows what treatment they're getting; it's not randomized or controlled against another treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As a Phase I trial primarily assesses safety and tolerability, potential side effects of PCLX-001 aren't fully known yet but may include typical reactions related to cancer drugs such as nausea, fatigue, liver issues or changes in blood counts leading to increased risk of infections or bleeding.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
To determine the maximum plasma level (Cmax) of PCLX-001
Plasma
To determine, during the dose escalation phase, the recommended dose of PCLX-001 for the dose expansion phase of the trial.
Secondary outcome measures
To evaluate the clinical response rate in patients treated with PCLX-001 with advanced solid malignancies
Other outcome measures
Assess the pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of PCLX-001 in patients with B-cell lymphomas

Trial Design

Experimental Treatment
Group I: PCLX-001 interventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The Dose-Escalation phase will follow a standard 3+3 cohort design. Three patients will be treated at each dose level. If 0/3 patients experience DLT, 3 patients will be treated at the next dose level. Escalation will terminate as soon as two or more patients experience any DLT attributable to study drugs, at a given dose level. Oral PCLX-001 will be provided as continuous daily dosing on a 28-day cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the current enrollment rate for this research project?

"The trial necessitates the enrollment of 60 applicable subjects in a distributed fashion between Cross Cancer Institute (Edmonton, Alberta) and Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal - CHUM (Montreal, Quebec)."

Answered by AI

Have there been any other investigations that have explored the effects of PCLX-001?

"PCLX-001 was first trialled in 2021 at Princess Margaret Hospital. So far, no clinical trials have been brought to completion; currently there is just one active study that recruits participants predominantly from Edmonton, Alberta."

Answered by AI

Is PCLX-001 a viable treatment option with no known detrimental effects?

"Our internal evaluation at Power rated PCLX-001 as a 1 for safety due to the limited data available from Phase 1 trials, showing only preliminary evidence of efficacy and no long-term proof of its security."

Answered by AI

Does this clinical trial have open enrollment at present?

"Currently, this medical trial is actively sourcing participants. First posted on September 14th 2021, the research was last updated on September 26th 2022 according to details provided by clinicaltrials.gov."

Answered by AI

Does this experimental protocol have any historical precedent?

"Currently, the only active trial for PCLX-001 is hosted in three cities across one country. Commissioned by Pacylex Pharmaceuticals in 2021, the Phase 1 clinical trial was conducted with 60 participants and completed satisfactorily. Since then, no other trials have been finished."
