What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Phase II: Assess the anti-neoplastic activity, as determined by overall response rate (complete plus partial responses) according to the RECIST criteria.

    Measured: indeterminate

  2. Phase III: Evaluate and compare the survival time of the two treatment groups, as selected in Phase II.

    Measured: Indeterminate

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Phase III: Assess the overall response rate

    Measured: indeterminate

  2. Asses the degree of clinical benefit defined as the proportion of patients experiencing complete and partial responses as well as stable disease.

    Measured: indeterminate

  3. Determine the duration of response.

    Measured: indeterminate

  4. Determine the time to progression

    Measured: indeterminate

  5. Assess the pharmacokinetic profile and immunopharmacodynamic response to CPG 7909 Injection alone or in combination with DTIC, or DTIC alone (immunopharmacodynamic response only).

    Measured: indeterminate

  6. Describe the tolerability of CPG 7909 Injection alone, CPG 7909 Injection in combination with DTIC vs. DTIC alone

    Measured: indeterminate

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CPG 7909 Injection, dacarbazine and Chemotherapy in people with Carcinoma, Melanoma, run by Pfizer.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Feb 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Phase II: Assess the anti-neoplastic activity, as determined by overall response rate (complete plus partial responses) according to the RECIST criteria. (time frame: indeterminate). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Feb 2009.
