About this study

Official title: A Phase I Investigation of MK-5108 and MK-5108 With Docetaxel in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This study will investigate the safety, side effects and how well the body tolerates MK-5108 as well as determine different doses of MK-5108 in participants with advanced and/or refractory solid tumors. The corresponding primary hypotheses of this study are that 1) administration of oral MK-5108 (twice daily for 2 out of 14-21 days) to participants with advanced and/or refractory solid tumors will be safe and tolerable, and that 2) the spectrum of side effects observed in these participants after administration of oral MK-5108 alone and in combination with docetaxel will be dose-dependent and allow for definition of a maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

Being tested
MK-5108, docetaxel

What participants receive

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

  • MK-5108Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event (AE)

    An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition which is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, was also an AE. The number of participants who experienced an AE was reported for each dose level group.

    Measured: From Day 1 of study treatment until 30 days following the last dose of study treatment (up to 577 days)

  2. Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    DLTs were AEs considered related to study drug that prevented escalation of the drug dose. Hematologic DLTs included any Grade 5 hematologic toxicity, Grade 4 neutropenia lasting for ≥7 days in duration, Grade 3 or Grade 4 neutropenia with fever >38.5°C and/or infection requiring antibiotic or anti-fungal treatment, and Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (≤25.0 x 10^9/L). Non-hematologic DLT was defined as any Grade 3, 4, or 5 non-hematologic toxicity, with the specific exceptions of: Grade 3 nausea or Grade 3 vomiting, Grade 3 diarrhea, or Grade 3 dehydration occurring in the setting of inadequate compliance with supportive care and lasting for <48 hours, alopecia, inadequately treated hypersensitivity reactions, or Grade 3 elevated transaminases of ≤1 week in duration. Any drug-related AE leading to a dose modification of MK-5108, or any unresolved drug-related toxicity persisting>6 weeks, was also considered a DLT.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 21 of study treatment (Cycle 1 for Panel 1, Panel 2, or Crossover)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MK-5108 and docetaxel in people with Cancer, Neoplasms, Tumors, 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 1 inclusion and 9 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 5 Jun 2024. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Nov 2018). 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 Who Experienced an Adverse Event (AE) (time frame: From Day 1 of study treatment until 30 days following the last dose of study treatment (up to 577 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 NCT00543387, 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 5 Jun 2024.
