Temozolomide Plus PEG-Interferon Alfa-2B in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

NCT00014261 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PEG-interferon alfa-2B may interfere with the growth of cancer cells. Combining temozolomide with PEG-interferon alfa-2B may be an effective treatment for advanced solid tumors. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining temozolomide and PEG-interferon alfa-2B in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00014261

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00014261 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 1, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. An enrollment target was not published in the registry record, which is common for early-stage or observational entries. The listed sponsor is Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, which has 396 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which temozolomide is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00014261 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New Hampshire. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
