Antineoplaston Therapy in Treating Patients With Cancer of the Small Intestine

Small Intestine Cancer Clinical Trial

Official title: Phase II Study of Antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1 In Patients With Carcinoma of the Small Intestine

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

Current therapies for Cancer of the Small Intestine provide very limited benefit to the patient. The anti-cancer properties of Antineoplaston therapy suggest that it may prove beneficial in the treatment of Cancer of the Small Intestine.

PURPOSE: This study is being performed to determine the effects (good and bad) that Antineoplaston therapy has on patients with Cancer of the Small Intestine.

Clinical Trial Description

Cancer of the Small Intestine patients receive gradually escalating doses of intravenous Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal) until the maximum tolerated dose is reached. Treatment continues up to12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

OBJECTIVES:

• To determine the efficacy of Antineoplaston therapy in patients with Cancer of the Small Intestine, as measured by an objective response to therapy (complete response, partial response or stable disease).

• To determine the safety and tolerance of Antineoplaston therapy in patients with Cancer of the Small Intestine.

• To determine objective response, tumor size is measured utilizing MRI scans, which are performed every 8 weeks for the first two years, every 3 months for the third and fourth years, every 6 months for the 5th and sixth years, and annually thereafter. ;
