NCT02698293

Brief Summary

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.

5-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride (Gliolan), orally, 40 mg/kg administered approximately 4-6 hours before light administration. There will be two levels of light dose: 50 and 100 J/cm2. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) supplementation (10,000 IU daily) will be provided from 3 days prior through 14 weeks after light delivery for PDT. Total duration of drug product administration (including any open-label lead-in, if applicable). Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) supplementation (10,000 IU daily) will be provided from 3 days prior through 14 weeks after light delivery for PDT. None This is a phase I dose escalation study, with two levels of light dose. The design is cohorts of 3s. Light at 50 Joules and Light at 100 joules There are pre-defined DLTs.

Cohort 1Cohort 2Cohort 3

Approximately 4-6 hours after photosensitizer administration, activating light will be applied. The target mucosal lesion will be identified based on the initial clinical evaluation. Treatment light will be generated using a Modulight ML7710-630-6K diode laser, This laser produces up to 6W total power, with a peak wavelength of 630nm and 90% of laser power within 630-633 nm. The light fluence (doses) will be 50 and 100 Joules per square centimeter.

  • Subjects with medical conditions precluding surgery.
  • Subjects whose lesions cannot be completely resected based on size or location, or where significant functional morbidity would be anticipated with further surgery.
  • Patients refuse surgery.
  • HPV positive by Cobas or other cytological assays within past 4 months
  • Documented HIV positivity
  • Patients must be on highly active anti-retroviral therapy with a CD4 count \>200 for the past 12 months
  • Viral load \<200 for 12 months for the past 12 months

  • Study subjects who are pregnant or lactating .
  • Study subjects who have a platelet count of less than 100,000/cubic mm.
  • Study subjects with elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase, or total bilirubin levels \>2X normal or a history of chronic liver disease or cirrhosis of the liver.
  • Significant cardiovascular history that would put the study subject at risk from hypotension that may occur with ALA
  • Study subjects with porphyria or hypersensitivity to porphyrins.
  • Administration of the following compounds: tetracyclines, sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones within 48 hours, or hypericin extracts within a week prior to light administration.
  • Study subjects with abnormal baseline creatinine level or diagnosed kidney disease.
  • Treatment with 5-FU, Imiquimod, trichloroacetic acid or ablative therapy within the previous month.
  • Study subjects who have a medical history of immune suppression. This will include patients with a past transplantation requiring ongoing immunosuppressive medications.
  • A history of sarcoidosis, hyperphosphatemia, or known kidney stones
