What is this trial about?

A plain-language summary of the goals, design and what participants do

This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of a new treatment for patients with certain types of cancer. The study involves patients with refractory hematologic malignancies or solid tumors, which are types of cancers that have not responded to previous treatments. The treatment being tested is an investigational drug called 9-ING-41, which is given as an injection. This drug works by inhibiting a protein known as Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 Beta (GSK-3β), which may help in controlling cancer growth.

The purpose of the study is to determine the 1-year survival rate of patients treated with 9-ING-41 compared to those who do not receive this treatment. The study will explore how well the drug works when used alone or in combination with other chemotherapy drugs. Patients will receive the treatment through intravenous administration, which means the drug is delivered directly into the bloodstream through a vein. The study will monitor patients over time to see how their cancer responds to the treatment and to check for any side effects.

Throughout the study, researchers will collect information on various outcomes, such as how long patients live without their cancer getting worse, the overall survival time, and any changes in the size of the tumors. The study will also look at the disease control rate, which includes patients whose cancer remains stable or shows improvement. By participating in this study, researchers hope to gather valuable data that could lead to new treatment options for patients with these challenging types of cancer.

The research process

The trial runs in 5 steps – from screening to follow-up. Each step says what happens and what the team monitors.

  1. Step 1

    Initial assessment

    Upon joining the study, an initial assessment is conducted to confirm eligibility. This includes a review of medical history and current health status.

    A pregnancy test is required for women of childbearing potential within 72 hours before starting the study therapy.

  2. Step 2

    Treatment initiation

    The study involves the administration of 9-ING-41, which is given as an intravenous injection. This means the medication is delivered directly into a vein.

    The specific schedule for administering 9-ING-41 is determined during the initial phase of the study.

  3. Step 3

    Treatment monitoring

    Regular monitoring is conducted to assess the response to the treatment. This includes scheduled visits, laboratory tests, and imaging studies such as CT scans or MRIs.

    The primary goal is to evaluate the 1-year survival rate and other outcomes like disease control and response rates.

  4. Step 4

    Adverse event monitoring

    Any side effects or adverse events are closely monitored from the first administration of 9-ING-41 until 30 days after the final dose.

    The monitoring follows the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0.

  5. Step 5

    Completion of treatment

    The study is estimated to conclude by December 31, 2025. Upon completion, a final assessment is conducted to evaluate the overall outcomes and any long-term effects of the treatment.

Who can join the trial?

15 criteria

  • The patient must be able to understand and willingly sign a written consent form, agreeing to follow the study's requirements, including visits, treatment plans, and tests.
  • Women who can have children must have a negative pregnancy test before starting the study, must not be breastfeeding, and must agree to use effective birth control during the study and for 6 months after.
  • Men with partners who can have children must take steps to prevent pregnancy during the study and for 6 months after, using effective birth control methods.
  • The patient must not be taking any other experimental drugs.
  • The patient must be 18 years or older.
  • The patient must have confirmed metastatic pancreatic cancer, not previously treated with systemic drugs for recurrence or metastasis, and be eligible for a specific first-line treatment.
  • The patient must have at least one measurable tumor, preferably checked by a CT scan or MRI.
  • The patient must have certain lab test results within specified limits, including:
    • Bone marrow function: enough white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets.
    • Liver function: specific enzyme levels and bilirubin within limits.
    • Kidney function: creatinine levels within limits or a certain clearance rate.
    • The patient must have an Eastern Co-operative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1, which means they are fully active or have some symptoms but can still do light work.
    • The patient must have completed certain treatments or procedures with specific time intervals before starting the study drug, such as:
      • Focal radiation therapy at least 7 days before.
      • Surgery with general anesthesia at least 7 days before.
      • Surgery with local anesthesia at least 3 days before.
      • The patient may have had certain chemotherapy treatments as part of previous therapy if they were completed at least 6 months before joining the study.

Who cannot join the trial?

3 criteria

  • Patients with certain types of cancer that do not respond to treatment, known as refractory hematologic malignancies or solid tumors, cannot participate.
  • Patients who are not within the specified age range for the study cannot participate.
  • Patients who are part of a vulnerable population, which means they might need special protection or care, cannot participate.

Investigated drugs

9-ING-41 is a medication being studied for its potential to treat patients with certain types of cancer. It works by inhibiting an enzyme called Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 Beta (GSK-3β), which may help to stop the growth of cancer cells. This medication is being tested both on its own and in combination with chemotherapy to see if it can improve survival rates in patients with difficult-to-treat blood cancers or solid tumors.

What is already known about the treatment

9-ING-41 – This medication is administered intravenously and is currently being studied in clinical trials for its effectiveness in treating refractory hematologic malignancies or solid tumors. It is in the investigational stage and not yet approved for general medical use. The main therapeutic indication is for patients with cancers that have not responded to standard treatments. 9-ING-41 works by inhibiting Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 Beta (GSK-3β), a protein involved in various cellular processes, potentially leading to reduced tumor growth. It is classified as a kinase inhibitor in pharmacology.

Investigated diseases

  • Refractory Hematologic Malignancies

    These are blood cancers that do not respond to standard treatments. They can include various types of leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. The disease progresses as cancer cells continue to grow and multiply despite treatment efforts. This can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, fever, and increased risk of infections. Over time, the disease may cause significant disruption to normal blood cell production. Patients often require ongoing monitoring and supportive care.

  • Solid Tumors

    These are abnormal masses of tissue that usually do not contain cysts or liquid areas. They can occur in various parts of the body, such as the lungs, breast, or colon. The progression of solid tumors involves the growth and spread of cancerous cells to surrounding tissues and potentially to other parts of the body. Symptoms depend on the tumor's location and size, potentially causing pain, swelling, or organ dysfunction. As the tumor grows, it may interfere with normal bodily functions and require medical intervention.
