Scientific titleEffect of additional single or repeated dosage of Kappaproct® to corticosteroid treated patients with brain oedema caused by brain tumour: a multicentre open one-arm non-randomised trial
Study acronymKappaproct® study
Study objectivesTo evaluate the effect of an additional single dose of Kappaproct® to corticosteroid treated patients with brain oedema caused by brain tumour, measured as reduction of the volume of the oedema by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Ethics approval(s)Local Ethical Committee in Umeå approved on the 1st April 2009 (ref: 09-054M)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedBrain oedema due to brain tumour
InterventionA single dose of 30 mg Kappaproct® (DIMS0150) given as a rectal enema. The patients are followed for 20 days after treatment.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase I/II
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Kappaproct®
Primary outcome measureEfficacy assessment: measurement of the volume of the brain oedema with MRI, measured at 10 days after treatment.
Secondary outcome measuresAssessed at 10 and 20 days after treatment:
1. Efficacy assessment: Clinical assessment of symptoms of brain edema, dose of steroids, in an explorative manner immune response in blood will be followed.
2. Safety and tolerability after one dose of Kappaproct® treatment

In an explorative manner, immune response in blood will be studied. This samples are collected before treatment and at 24 hours and 10 days after treatment.
