PDT Plus Vitamin D3 for Anal Dysplasia

NCT02698293

Description:

This is a phase I dose escalation study of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of patients with pre-malignant tumors and superficial microinvasive disease of the anal canal and/or perianal skin. All subjects (a maximum of 12) will be given the photosensitizer ALA orally followed by the administration of red light (629-635 nm) to the tumor from a laser. The dose of ALA will be 40 mg/kg administered approximately 4-6 hours before light administration. There will be two levels of light dose: 50 and 100 J/cm2, 3-6 patients in each. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) supplementation (10,000 IU daily) will be provided from 3 days prior through 14 weeks after light delivery for PDT. Patients will be observed for 30 days for the development of DLT. Patients will be followed up for 24 months for additional toxicity and efficacy data collection.

Detailed Description

      This is a phase I dose escalation study of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of
      patients with pre-malignant tumors and superficial microinvasive disease of the anal canal
      and/or perianal skin. All subjects (a maximum of 12) will be given the photosensitizer ALA
      orally followed by the administration of red light (629-635 nm) to the tumor from a laser.
      The dose of ALA will be 40 mg/kg administered approximately 4-6 hours before light
      administration. There will be two levels of light dose: 50 and 100 J/cm2, 3-6 patients in
      each. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) supplementation (10,000 IU daily) will be provided from 3
      days prior through 14 weeks after light delivery for PDT. Patients will be observed for 30
      days for the development of DLT. Patients will be followed up for 24 months for additional
      toxicity and efficacy data collection.
