About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study of ARQ 197 in Adult Patients With Metastatic Solid Tumors

To determine the safety, tolerability and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ARQ 197.

Read the detailed description

To determine the safety, tolerability and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ARQ 197 given orally. This is an open label, dose escalation study of ARQ 197 administered orally at a starting dose of 10 mg bid (20 mg/day).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ARQ 197Drug

    Patients in this trial will receive ARQ 197 orally at dose levels specified for their respective dose cohorts. Dosing will begin at 20 mg/day (first cohort) and escalate until the RP2D or MTD is determined. Patients enrolled under a previous amendment will continue to receive ARQ 197 twice daily for 14 days followed by 7 days without therapy. Any patient enrolled under Amendment 3 will take ARQ 197 twice daily for 21 days where cycles will be repeated every three-weeks (21 days).

    Patients enrolled under Amendment 4 will receive dose of 360 mg bid (720 mg daily) continuously for 21 days, and cycle will be repeated every three weeks.

    All patients will remain on study until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or another discontinuation criterion is met. In the case of toxicity, dose adjustment is permitted.

What is being measured

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

  1. safety, tolerability

    Measured: All patients will remain on study until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or another discontinuation criterion is met

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To determine the pharmacokinetic profile of ARQ 197.

    Measured: All patients will remain on study until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or another discontinuation criterion is met

  2. To determine the pharmacodynamics (i.e., identify biomarkers) of ARQ 197.

    Measured: All patients will remain on study until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or another discontinuation criterion is met

  3. To assess the preliminary anti-tumor activity of ARQ 197.

    Measured: All patients will remain on study until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or another discontinuation criterion is met

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ARQ 197 in people with Cancer and Tumor, run by ArQule, Inc., a subsidiary of Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, NJ USA) at 3 sites in United States.

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 14 inclusion and 8 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 26 Aug 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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 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.

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?

safety, tolerability (time frame: All patients will remain on study until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or another discontinuation criterion is met). 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 26 Aug 2009.
