Trial Outcomes & Findings for Treatment of Oral Premalignant Lesions With 5-ALA PDT (NCT NCT00571974)

NCT ID: NCT00571974

Last Updated: 2015-03-24

Results Overview

The traditional 3+3 dose escalation design was employed. Three cohorts were enrolled at 3 subjects per cohort, and treated with escalating radiant exposures of 6, 7, or 8 J/cm2. In each cohort, the number of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed. Dose escalation rules were the same as those provided by Storer 1989.

Measure
Phase I
To determine the maximum tolerated energy density of the Pulse Dye Laser operated at 585 nm with a pulse time of 1.5 ms (PDL-585), when used in combination with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) applied topically to the premalignant lesion. The maximum tolerated energy density will be called the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD).
Phase II
During Phase II, to assess the treatment efficacy of PDL-585 when used at the MTD in combination with 5-ALA applied topically to the premalignant lesion. Treatment efficacy will be assessed by means of the 90-day Objective Response rate observed among study subjects treated at the MTD.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 2

Population: Three cohorts were enrolled at 3 subjects per cohort, and treated with escalating radiant exposures (laser doses) of 6, 7, or 8 J/cm2. In each cohort, the number of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed. The highest radiant light dose attained that did not produce more than 2 DLTs was declared to be the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 90

Population: The Simon two-stage minimax design with 9 subjects in the first stage and 8 subjects in the second stage, yielding 17 subjects overall.

The response rate was quantified by examination by an experienced head and neck surgeon and classified as follows: significant response (SR) was one where the lesion had greater than 75% resolution, partial response (PR) was one in which the lesion was reduced in size by at least 25%, and no response (NR) was one where the lesion was reduced by less than 25% in size.
