What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Experiencing Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    DLTs consisted of hematologic or non-hemtologic toxicities. Hematologic DLT was any grade (gr) 4 neutropenia lasting ≥7 days, gr 4 thrombocytopenia or gr 5 hematologic toxicity. Non-hematologic DLT was any gr 3, 4 or 5 non-hematologic toxicity with the exception of (1) gr 3 nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or dehydration not compliant with medical care, lasting <48 hours (2) gr 3 acidosis/alkalosis returning to ≤ gr 2 by 48 hours of medical care (3) gr 3 liver function test elevation without symptoms, lasting ≤5 days (4) Gr 3 amylase elevation without symptoms (5) Gr 3 hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hyponatremia or hyphosphatemia responding to medical care (6) Gr 3 hypercholeresterolemia or hypertriglyceridemia. A drug-related AE causing dose modification of study drug is also considered a DLT. Per protocol DLTs were analyzed in the first 28-day treatment cycle. The number of participants experiencing DLTs is reported here for all participants who got ≥1 dose of study drug.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (Up to 28 days)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants Experiencing Drug-Related Adverse Events (AEs)

    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 of a pre-existing condition which is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product is also an AE. An AE was considered related to a drug as determined by the investigator based on exposure (evidence of exposure to drug), time course (time of AE onset versus drug-induced effect), likely cause (AE etiology related or un-related to drug), de-challenge (drug dose reduction/discontinuation) or re-challenge (drug re-exposure). Per protocol participants experiencing drug-related AEs were analyzed at the time of the protocol-specified final statistical analysis with a 3-September (Sep)-2012 data cut-off. The number of participants experiencing drug-related AEs is reported here for all participants who got ≥1 dose of study drug.

    Measured: Up to ~55 months (through pre-specified final statistical analysis cut-off date of 3-Sep-2012)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Vorinostat, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in people with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma, 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 8 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 18 Nov 2020. 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 18 Nov 2020). 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 Experiencing Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: Cycle 1 (Up to 28 days)). 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 NCT00642954, 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 18 Nov 2020.
