What is being tested

  • Drug BMX-001

What it is measuring

Efficacy of BMX-001 as measured by Grade 3 and above associated with gastrointestinal Toxicities

This is the trial's main question — the one it is designed and sized to answer. Anything else it reports is a secondary finding, and secondary findings are far more likely to be chance.

Phase 2. Tests whether the treatment works well enough to be worth a larger trial. Usually too small to prove it changes survival.

How the researchers describe it

In this Phase 2 study, we will conduct an efficacy and safety study of the combination of investigational drug BMX-001, with short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) or long-course chemoradiotherapy (LCCRT) as part of total neoadjuvant therapy in newly diagnosed rectal adenocarcinoma (RAC) patients.

Who the trial is looking for

Inclusion Criteria

1. Patients with pathologically confirmed locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma who will be receiving total neoadjuvant therapy regimen with curative intent.

2. AJCC stage II to III rectal adenocarcinoma that will require total neoadjuvant therapy.

3. Adult, age > or equal to 18 years (for Nebraska, age of consent is ≥19 years old)

4. ECOG Performance Status 0-2

5. Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dl, ANC ≥ 1,500 /dl, platelets ≥ 100,000 /dl (The use of transfusion or other intervention to achieve Hgb > 9.0 g/dl is acceptable)

6. Serum SGOT and bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal

7. Adequate renal function defined as follows:

1)Serum creatinine < 1.5 mg/dl within 2 weeks prior to enrollment or 2)Creatinine clearance (CC) ≥ 50 ml/min within 2 weeks prior to enrollment determined by 24-hour collection or estimated by Cockcroft-Gault formula: CCr male = [(140 – age) x (wt in kg)]/[(Serum Cr mg/dl) x (72)], CCr female = 0.85 x (CrCl male) 8. Signed, written informed consent prior to completing any study specific procedures 9. Negative pregnancy test for women of child-bearing potential at the time of screening 10.

Where it is running

Running at 3 sites. Listed in: United States.

Individual hospitals, and whether each is currently open, are listed on the registry record. Sites open and close throughout a trial.

Worth asking your oncology team

Being listed here is not a recommendation, and no one page can tell you whether a trial is right for you. These are the questions it raises.

  • Is this trial open at a hospital I could realistically travel to?
  • Given my stage, my previous treatment and my tumour's molecular profile, would I be eligible?
  • What would I be giving up by joining — is the comparison arm the treatment I would otherwise be having?
  • What is already known about the safety of what is being tested?

The source

Registry record NCT05254327, registered by University of Nebraska on ClinicalTrials.gov, a public database run by the US National Library of Medicine. The details on this page come from that record and are only ever as current as the sponsor has kept it.

This is a listing of a registered clinical trial, reproduced for information. It is not a recommendation, this site has no connection to the trial or its sponsor, and being listed here says nothing about whether the treatment works. Talk to your own oncology team before pursuing any trial.

This article summarises published research for general information. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for a conversation with your own oncology team, who know your case. Do not start, stop, or change any treatment or supplement on the basis of what you read here.
