About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Two-Part Study to Determine the Safety, Tolerability, and Activity of Lonafarnib and Docetaxel

This study will determine the best doses of docetaxel and lonafarnib when the two anti-cancer agents are used in combination. Patients with tumors for which treatment with docetaxel would be appropriate are eligible. A second part of the study will further examine the effectiveness of the combination treatment in men with prostate cancer.

Being tested
Docetaxel plus lonafarnib

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of adverse events and dose-limiting toxicities

    Measured: Until disease progression, unacceptable dose delays or reductions, or unacceptable toxicity

  2. Rate of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) responses

    Measured: Until disease progression, unacceptable dose delays or reductions, or unacceptable toxicity

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Proportion of subjects with dose-limiting toxicities

    Measured: Until disease progression, unacceptable dose delays or reductions, or unacceptable toxicity

  2. Plasma lonafarnib concentrations

    Measured: Until disease progression, unacceptable dose delays or reductions, or unacceptable toxicity

  3. RECIST-defined radiological response rate

    Measured: Until disease progression, unacceptable dose delays or reductions, or unacceptable toxicity

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Docetaxel plus lonafarnib in people with Prostate Cancer and Breast Cancer, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

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 10 inclusion and 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2015. 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 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?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Incidence of adverse events and dose-limiting toxicities (time frame: Until disease progression, unacceptable dose delays or reductions, or unacceptable toxicity). 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 5 Feb 2015.
