A Phase 1 interventional study of Dexanabinol and Sorafenib in Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Pancreatic Cancer, sponsored by e-Therapeutics PLC. Status unknown at 13 sites in 4 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-04-06.

This study is a trial of dexanabinol in patients with advanced tumours. The purposes of the protocol are to study different doses of the study drug to determine the maximum safe dose of the drug given in combination with standard chemotherapies and to further understand the safety of the study drug and to measure any reduction in size of patients' cancer tumour(s).
Dexanabinol is a synthetic cannabinoid which has previously undergone clinical trials for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and in subjects undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. Currently dexanabinol is under investigation for potential anti-tumour activity in patients with advanced tumours.
e-Therapeutics PLC is the lead sponsor of 4 studies on the registry; none are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
(i) Parts 1 and 2b (dexanabinol combination): Patients with selected histologically, cytologically or radiologically confirmed tumours that are advanced, metastatic and/or progressive, and eligible for 1st line chemotherapy.
(ii) Part 2a (dexanabinol monotherapy): Patients with histologically, cytologically or radioloigically confirmed tumours that are advanced, metastatic and/or progressive, for whom there is no effective standard therapy available.
(i) Parts 1 and 2b: Measureable disease assessed by appropriate method for each tumour type e.g. RECIST 1.1 (Eisenhauer, et al. 2009).
(ii) Part 2a: Evaluable disease, either measureable on imaging, or with informative tumour marker(s).
Laboratory values at Screening:
AST (SGOT) ≤2.5 times the ULN (when there is no liver tumour involvement) up to
ALT (SGPT) ≤2.5 times the ULN (when there is no liver tumour involvement) up to
Exclusion Criteria
(i) Parts 1 and 2b (dexanabinol combination): Prior systemic chemotherapy.
(ii) Part 2a (dexanabinol monotherapy): Chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to Cycle 1, Day 1 for solid tumours (with the exception of hydroxyurea, which must be discontinued at least 24 hours prior to Cycle 1, Day 1). Localised palliative radiotherapy is permitted for symptom control.
Patients with selected relapsed or refractory tumour types to receive single agent dexanabinol.
Drug: Dexanabinol
Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma to receive dexanabinol in combination with standard chemotherapy.
Drug: Dexanabinol · Drug: Sorafenib
Patients with pancreatic cancer to receive dexanabinol in combination with standard chemotherapy
Drug: Dexanabinol · Drug: Nab-paclitaxel · Drug: Gemcitabine
Patients will receive dexanabinol given once a week, as a slow intravenous infusion (i.v.) over a 3 hour period
Also known as: ETS2101, HU-211
Patients will receive Sorafenib at a dose of 400 mg bid (oral administration)
Patients will receive Nab-paclitaxel at a dose of 125mg/m2 intravenous infusion
Patients will receive Gemcitabine at a dose of 1000mg/m2 intravenous infusion
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of dexanabinol given in combination with standard chemotherapies
Patients will be sequentially assigned to increasing doses of dexanabinol to establish the MTD (or maximum administered dose (MAD)). 3 patients will be enrolled to a cohort to assess each dose level. Dose escalation to a cohort of 3 new patients will occur when all patients in the previous cohort have completed the first cycle i.e. the first four doses followed by observation through to day 29 and no dose limiting toxicity (DLT) has occurred.
Time frame: For 29 days from the day of first dose
Number of adverse events (AEs) in patients receiving dexanabinol monotherapy
AEs will be graded according to the NCI CTCAE v4.03 for cancer clinical trials.
Time frame: From start of dosing until 30 days ± 3 days post last dose of dexanbinol
Number of adverse events (AEs) in patients receiving dexanabinol in combination with standard chemotherapies
AEs will be graded according to the NCI CTCAE v4.03 for cancer clinical trials.
Time frame: From start of dosing until 30 days ± 3 days post last dose of IMP
Area under curve (AUC) of dexanabinol and (where applicable) combination chemotherapy
Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 and Day 8 pre-dose (0h); 1, 2, 3h (i.e. immediately prior to end infusion) post start of infusion; 5, 10, 15, 30 min post-end infusion; 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 24h post-end infusion; day 15 immediately prior to and at end of IMP infusion
Maximum concentration (Cmax) of dexanabinol and (where applicable) combination chemotherapy
Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 and Day 8 pre-dose (0h); 1, 2, 3h (i.e. immediately prior to end infusion) post start of infusion; 5, 10, 15, 30 min post-end infusion; 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 24h post-end infusion day 15 immediately prior to and at end of IMP infusion
Minimum concentration (Cmin) of dexanabinol and (where applicable) combination chemotherapy
Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 and Day 8 pre-dose (0h); 1, 2, 3h (i.e. immediately prior to end infusion) post start of infusion; 5, 10, 15, 30 min post-end infusion; 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 24h post-end infusion day 15 immediately prior to and at end of IMP infusion
Tumour response ( RECIST 1.1, assessment by CT or MRI)
Tumour response evaluation using RECIST 1.1 (assessment by CT or MRI).
Time frame: Participants will be followed until objective disease progression as per the RECIST v1.1 criteria, an expected average of four months
