What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Phase 1b: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT)
Participants were evaluated for dose-limiting toxicities according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) version 3.0.
A DLT was defined as treatment-related ≥ Grade 2 neuropathy with pain, ≥ Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity, Grade 4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia lasting 7 or more days, or thrombocytopenia with bleeding.
The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for each of the 3 populations (solid tumor, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma) was defined as the dose level at which < 33% of participants experienced a dose-limiting toxicity during the first 28-day cycle.
Measured: 28 days
Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With an Overall Response After 4 Treatment Cycles
Overall response is defined as participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) after 4 cycles, assessed by the Investigator using tumor measurement and according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.
CR: Disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions;
PR: Disappearance of all target lesions, persistence of one or more non-target lesion(s) or/and maintenance of tumor marker level above the normal limits and no lesions, or, at least a 30% decrease in the size of target lesions and no progression of existing non-target lesions or any new lesions.
SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, taking as reference the smallest size since the treatment started, and no progression of existing non-target lesions or any new lesions.
Measured: 4 months
Secondary outcomes (12)
Percentage of Participants With an Overall Response Throughout the Study
Solid tumor participants were evaluated for disease response according to RECIST, Version 1.1. Multiple myeloma participants were evaluated using the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) Uniform Response Criteria with the addition of minimal response (MR) based on the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplant Group (EBMT). Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) participants were evaluated using the International Workshop NHL criteria. Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) participants were evaluated using Criteria from the Sixth International Workshop for WM.
Overall response is defined in Outcome Measure 2 for participants with solid tumors. For NHL, overall response is defined as a best overall response of CR or PR. For multiple myeloma and WM, overall response is defined as participants with a best overall response of stringent complete response (sCR), CR, very good partial response (VGPR) or PR.
Measured: Tumor assessments occurred at the end of Cycle 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 and continued every 3 cycles thereafter up to 6 months after last dose. Analysis includes data up to the data cut-off date of 07 October 2014; maximum duration of treatment was 35 months.
Duration of Response
Duration of response is defined as the time from first evidence of a partial response or better (the first observation of PR before confirmation) to disease progression, with deaths owing to causes other than progression censored.
Measured: Tumor assessments occurred at the end of Cycle 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 and continued every 3 cycles thereafter up to 6 months after last dose. Analysis includes data up to the data cut-off date of 07 October 2014; maximum duration of treatment was 35 months.
Progression-Free Survival
Progression-free survival (PFS) is the time from start of treatment to disease progression or death (due to any cause), whichever occurred first.
Measured: Tumor assessments occurred at the end of Cycle 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 and continued every 3 cycles thereafter up to 6 months after last dose. Analysis includes data up to the data cut-off date of 07 October 2014; maximum duration of treatment was 35 months.
Time to Progression
Time to Progression (TTP) is defined as number of months between start of treatment and first evidence/documentation of disease progression.
Measured: Tumor assessments occurred at the end of Cycle 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 and continued every 3 cycles thereafter up to 6 months after last dose. Analysis includes data up to the data cut-off date of 07 October 2014; maximum duration of treatment was 35 months.
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration of Carfilzomib
Plasma concentrations of carfilzomib were determined by a validated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method. Concentration values that were below the lower limit of quantification of 0.1 ng/mL were set to zero. Treatment groups receiving the same dose (e.g. 20 mg/m²) were combined for Day 1 analyses.
Measured: Cycle 1, Day 1, predose and at 5 minutes and 15 minutes post start of infusion (for 30-minute infusion groups only), and at the end of infusion, 5, 15, and 30 minutes; and 1, 2, and 4 hours after the end of the infusion.
Time to Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Carfilzomib
Measured: Cycle 1, Day 1, predose and at 5 minutes and 15 minutes post start of infusion (for 30-minute infusion groups only), and at the end of infusion, 5, 15, and 30 minutes; and 1, 2, and 4 hours after the end of the infusion.
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Concentration Measured (AUC0-last) for Carfilzomib
Measured: Cycle 1, Day 1, predose and at 5 minutes and 15 minutes post start of infusion (for 30-minute infusion groups only), and at the end of infusion, 5, 15, and 30 minutes; and 1, 2, and 4 hours after the end of the infusion.
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUC0-inf) for Carfilzomib
Measured: Cycle 1, Day 1, predose and at 5 minutes and 15 minutes post start of infusion (for 30-minute infusion groups only), and at the end of infusion, 5, 15, and 30 minutes; and 1, 2, and 4 hours after the end of the infusion.
Elimination Half-life (t½) of Carfilzomib
Measured: Cycle 1, Day 1, predose and at 5 minutes and 15 minutes post start of infusion (for 30-minute infusion groups only), and at the end of infusion, 5, 15, and 30 minutes; and 1, 2, and 4 hours after the end of the infusion.
Clearance (CL) of Carfilzomib

Primary outcome
Phase 1b: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT)
Time frame: 28 days
Participants were evaluated for dose-limiting toxicities according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) version 3.0. A DLT was defined as treatment-related ≥ Grade 2 neuropathy with pain, ≥ Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity, Grade 4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia lasting 7 or more days, or thrombocytopenia with bleeding. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for each of the 3 populations (solid tumor, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma) was defined as the dose level at which < 33% of participants experienced a dose-limiting toxicity during the first 28-day cycle.
Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With an Overall Response After 4 Treatment Cycles
Time frame: 4 months
Overall response is defined as participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) after 4 cycles, assessed by the Investigator using tumor measurement and according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. CR: Disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions; PR: Disappearance of all target lesions, persistence of one or more non-target lesion(s) or/and maintenance of tumor marker level above the normal limits and no lesions, or, at least a 30% decrease in the size of target lesions and no progression of existing non-target lesions or any new lesions. SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, taking as reference the smallest size since the treatment started, and no progression of existing non-target lesions or any new lesions.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Carfilzomib and Dexamethasone in people with Ovarian Cancer and Renal Cancer, run by Amgen at 7 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 40 inclusion and 21 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 15 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 7 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 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 9 Dec 2015). 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?
Phase 1b: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT) (time frame: 28 days). 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?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00531284, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 15 Aug 2017.
