What is being measured

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

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

    DLT was any drug-related AE, regardless of grade, leading to a dose modification of MK-2206. Dose-limiting hematologic and nonhematologic toxicities were defined differently and were based on events occurring during the first cycle of study drug administration. Hematologic DLT defined as any Grade (Gr) 4 or greater hematologic toxicity except neutropenia described as follows: Neutropenia that was Gr 4 lasting for ≥7 days, or Gr 3/Gr 4 with fever >38.5°C and/or infection requiring antibiotic or anti-fungal treatment considered DLT. Gr 4 thrombocytopenia (≤25.0 x 10^9/L) was also considered DLT. Non-hematologic DLTs were defined as any Gr 3, 4, or 5 nonhematologic toxicity, with the specific exceptions of: Gr 3 nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration occurring with inadequate supportive care and lasting <48 hours; alopecia; inadequately treated hypersensitivity reactions; and Gr 3 elevated transaminases of ≤1 week in duration. A participant could have more than one DLT.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 28 (Cycle 1)

  2. Number of Participants With One or More Adverse Events (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 was temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's product, was also an AE. The number of participants that experienced one or more AEs was reported for each dose level group.

    Measured: Up to 269 days

  3. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve of MK-2206 From Time 0 to 48 Hours (AUC0-48hr) in Participants Receiving Multiple QOD Dosing

    Blood samples were collected for PK analyses during the first cycle of therapy. Samples were centrifuged, plasma was withdrawn and plasma concentrations were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectroscopy. AUC 0-48hr was calculated for Day 1 and the last day of treatment in Cycle 1 (Day 27) and reported for all dose levels receiving MK-2206 orally QOD (30, 60, 75, and 90 mg QOD).

    Measured: Days 1 and 27: predose and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 24, and 48 hours after MK-2206 dosing

  4. Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of MK-2206 in Participants Receiving Multiple QOD Dosing

    Measured: Days 1 and 27: predose and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 24, and 48 hours after MK-2206 dosing

  7. Apparent Terminal Half-life (t½) of MK-2206 in Participants Receiving Multiple QOD Dosing

    Blood samples were collected for PK analyses on Day 27 of the first cycle of therapy. Samples were centrifuged, plasma was withdrawn and plasma concentrations were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectroscopy. t½ (Harmonic mean ± pseudo SD) was calculated and reported for all dose levels receiving MK-2206 orally QOD (30, 60, 75, and 90 mg QOD).

    Measured: Day 27: predose and 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 24, and 48 hours after MK-2206 dosing.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Phosphorylated Protein Kinase B (pAkt) Level on Cycle 1 Day 15 (C1D15) After Treatment With MK-2206 at the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    To determine the inhibition of pAkt by MK-2206 in participants treated at the MTD, levels of Akt phosphorylated at the serine 473 residue (pAkt Ser473 Akt) were measured in snap-frozen tumors collected at baseline and Day 15 of Cycle 1 using a MesoScale enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Per protocol, pAkt levels were determined only for the MK-2206 MTD (60 mg QOD) group.

    Measured: Baseline, Cycle 1 Day 15

  2. Number of Participants With Confirmed Response as Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)

    Overall tumor response was assessed during the study by diagnostic anatomic imaging using RECIST. The number of participants with a confirmed Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) as per RECIST was reported for each dose level group.

    Measured: From Cycle 1 Day 1 through the End of Study Visit (up to 6 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MK-2206 in people with Locally Advanced Tumors and Metastatic Solid 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 4 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 1 Apr 2019. 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 1 Apr 2019). 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 With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: Day 1 to Day 28 (Cycle 1)). The study lists 12 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 NCT00670488, 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 1 Apr 2019.
