They should be relatively healthy, able to perform daily activities, and have a life expectancy over 6 months. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, HIV patients on certain therapies, and those with active hepatitis or CNS disease cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing ST-001 nanoFenretinide, a new form of the drug fenretinide delivered in tiny particles designed for treating T-cell NHL. Participants will receive this treatment to see how well it works against their cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions similar to other retinoids such as dry skin, mouth and eyes; headaches; bone pain; nausea and vomiting; liver function changes; sensitivity to sunlight; and blood lipid abnormalities.

Has the FDA sanctioned Fenretinide for use?

"Given the limited existing data on efficacy and safety, fenretinide is given a score of 1."

Answered by AI

How many participants have been enrolled in this experiment?

"Currently, this trial is no longer recruiting. The final update to the study was made on October 24th 2022. For those still looking for a clinical trial related to mycosis fungoides, there are 1796 available studies and two trials actively enrolling participants who wish to receive fenretinide treatment."

Answered by AI

Does this investigation represent a pioneering endeavor?

"Fenretinide has been under clinical investigation since 2020, when Laurent Pharmaceuticals Inc. conducted the first trial with 508 participants. Subsequently, it was approved for Phase 2 and 3 trials and there are currently two active studies spanning 28 cities in two different nations."

Answered by AI

Is the recruitment for this experiment still ongoing?

"This clinical trial closed its recruitment phase on October 24th 2022. If you're searching for alternative studies, 1796 investigations into mycosis fungoides are actively recruiting and 2 trials of Fenretinide have open participant slots."

Answered by AI

Could you elaborate on the history of Fenretinide trials that have been conducted?

"Presently, two medical trials are underway to further explore the effects of Fenretinide with one trial being in phase 3. Most of these studies for this compound take place in Winston-Salem but there is a network encompassing 33 sites conducting experiments on it."
