Vitamin E δ-Tocotrienol Multiple Dose in Healthy Subjects

NCT ID: NCT01450046

Last Updated: 2016-07-07

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1
• Total Enrollment: 18 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2011-10-31
• Study Completion Date: 2016-04-30

Brief Summary

The Principal Investigator believes that Vitamin E δ-Tocotrienol will slow the progression of pancreatic cancer cells. Therefore, the investigators must determine the safety and tolerability of Vitamin E δ-Tocotrienol in healthy participants before administering to cancer patients. The investigators will do this by giving participants a dose of up to1600 mg twice a day, not to exceed 3200 mg total for 14 consecutive days.

Detailed Description

Participants will be accrued in cohorts of three. The decision to dose escalate will be made by the Cohort Review Committee (CRC) based on safety after the last subject in the current cohort has completed the Study Treatment Period. The study will consist of the following procedures:

• Pre-Treatment Period: The screening period must occur within 7 days of dosing.
• Study Treatment Period (14 days): Vitamin E δ-Tocotrienol will be administered orally twice daily for 14 consecutive days
• Post-Treatment Period: Subject will return to the study site 7 days after the dose of Vitamin E δ-Tocotrienol for an end-of-treatment assessment. On day 8 (± 2 days) after the last dose of study drug, the investigator will obtain follow-up information. Any serious adverse events (SAEs) present at 7 days after the last dose and possibly related to study drug will be followed until resolution, stabilization, or initiation of treatment that confounds the ability to assess the event.

Study Groups

Phase I Dose Escalation

Each investigator will be provided with adequate supplies of Vitamin E δ -Tocotrienol, which will be supplied as 100-mg, 200-mg, and 400-mg capsules. Vitamin E δ-Tocotrienol will be administered orally once. The dose administered to each subject will be fixed and based on cohort assignment. Doses will be administered at the clinical site during each protocol-defined visit.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Vitamin E δ-Tocotrienol

Intervention Type: DRUG

Vitamin E δ-Tocotrienol will be administered orally as a single agent twice daily for 14 consecutive days. Vitamin E δ-Tocotrienol is supplied as 100-mg, 200-mg, and 400-mg capsules. The first cohort will be dosed with δ-tocotrienol at 100 mg twice daily for 14 consecutive days. A minimum of 3 subjects is planned for each dosing cohort with Vitamin E δ-Tocotrienol dose escalation dependent on safety and available PK data from prior cohorts. At the MTD or MAD, 18 subjects will be enrolled.
