What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): Part 1

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.

    Measured: Baseline up to End of Treatment (EOT) (within 30 days of last dose)

  2. Number of Participants With Drug Related Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs): Part 1

    TEAEs are events that occurred on or after initial treatment that were absent before treatment or worsened during the treatment period relative to the pretreatment state. AEs that occurred within 30 days of the last administration of study treatment can be attributed to the treatment period.

    Measured: Baseline up to EOT (within 30 days of last dose)

  3. Number of Participants With Drug Related Grade 3 and Higher Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs): Part 1

    TEAEs are events that occurred on or after initial treatment that were absent before treatment or worsened during the treatment period relative to the pretreatment state. AEs that occurred within 30 days of the last administration of study treatment can be attributed to the treatment period. National Cancer Institute (NCI)-graded Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) provides descriptive terminology for adverse event reporting. A grading (severity) scale is provided for each adverse event term. Grades range from 0 (none) to 5 (death).

    Measured: Baseline up to EOT (within 30 days of last dose)

  4. Number of Participants Who Died: Part 1

    Deaths were reported from baseline throughout the 30 day period after last study treatment. After the 30 day reporting period, only deaths believed related to study treatment were to be reported (as SAEs).

    Measured: Baseline up to EOT (within 30 days of last dose)

  5. Number of Participants With Drug Related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): Part 1

    SAEs include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in disability / incapacity or are a congenital anomaly or birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. Participants with documented study treatment toxicity were followed weekly until recovering. After the 30 day reporting period, only SAEs believed to be related to study treatment were to be reported.

    Measured: Baseline up to EOT (within 30 days of last dose)

  6. Number of Participants With Adverse Events Causing Temporary Stop of Study Treatment: Part 1

    Temporary interruption of study treatment; may be followed by resumption of study treatment at current dose or dose modification as determined by the investigator and medical monitor.

    Measured: Baseline up to EOT (within 30 days of last dose)

  7. Number of Participants With Adverse Events Causing Dose Reduction of Study Treatment: Part 1

    Dose reduction for individual participant allowed if a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) occurred; may continue treatment following reduction by 1 to 2 dose levels (determined by investigator and medical monitor). DLT= failure to recover to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for AEs (NCI-CTCAE) version 3.0 grade 0 to 2 (or within 1 grade of starting values for pre-existing laboratory abnormalities) from a treatment-related toxicity within 3 weeks (leading to a treatment delay of >3 weeks) unless investigator and medical monitor agree participant should remain in the study.

    Measured: Baseline up to EOT (within 30 days of last dose)

  8. Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Important (PCI) Changes in Vital Signs: Part 1

    Number of participants who met the criteria for PCI changes (based on baseline values before treatment); criteria defined as body temperature >39 degrees Celsius (C), respiratory rate >20 beats per minute (bpm), and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) >200/110 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Participants may be reported in more than 1 category.

    Measured: Baseline up to EOT (within 30 days of last dose)

  9. Number of Participants With Potentially Clinically Important (PCI) Values by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria (NCI-CTC) Grade for Laboratory Values: Part 1

    Number of participants who met the PCI criteria (grades 1 through 5) for laboratory values (hematology and serum chemistry). NCI-CTC provides descriptive terminology for adverse event reporting. A grading (severity) scale is provided with grades ranging from 0 (none), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), 3 (severe), 4 (life-threatening or disabling), to 5 (death). Participants may be reported in more than 1 category.

    Measured: Baseline up to EOT (within 30 days of last dose)

  10. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (OR) at Week 12: Part 2

    Measured as Complete response (CR), Very good partial response (VGPR), or Partial response (PR) on at least 2 occasions greater than or equal to (>=) 4 weeks apart within first 12 weeks. CR=disappearance of all primary and metastatic lesions; Homovanillic acid, Vanillymandelic acid (HVA/VMA) normal; bone marrow immunocytology negative. VGPR=disappearance of all metastatic lesions (residual areas of uptake on bone permitted); 90 to 99 percent (%) decrease in primary disease measurement; HVA/VMA normal or both decreased >90%.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Torisel in people with Adenocarcinoma and Neoplasms, run by Pfizer at 30 sites in 7 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 8 Feb 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 30 sites in United States, Canada, Poland, Russia, France and 2 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Jan 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): Part 1 (time frame: Baseline up to End of Treatment (EOT) (within 30 days of last dose)). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00106353, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Feb 2013.
