Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 1 year to 17 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female age 1 to <18 years at the time of study entry for the dose escalation portion of the study
  • Histologic diagnosis of a malignant lymphoma or solid tumor, including tumors of the central nervous system that has progressed in the opinion of the investigator despite standard therapy or for which no effective standard therapy is known
  • Patients may have measurable or non-measurable disease as defined by RECIST
  • Patients with brainstem glioma or intrinsic pontine glioma do not need biopsy proof of the diagnosis, but must have documentation at their local institution that there is agreement among the attending oncologist and/or neuro-oncologist, radiologist, and neurosurgeon/pediatric neurosurgeon that the diagnostic imaging studies are consistent with a diagnosis of brainstem or intrinsic pontine glioma
  • Patients must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery or radiotherapy prior to entering this study
  • Performance Status: EGOG 0-2 for patients age 16 and older; Karnofsky >40% for patients >10 years of age; Lansky Play Scale >40 for children < 10 years of age
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Life expectancy greater than or equal to 12 weeks
  • There is no limit to the number of prior treatment regimens provided that performance status, organ function, and life expectancy meet the study criteria
  • No persistent toxicities from previous therapies > Grade 2 by NCI CTCAE version 3. For patients with CNS tumors ONLY, if baseline neurotoxicity due to primary tumor involvement or post-operative complications, Grade 3 neurotoxicity is allowed if stable
  • Normal organ and marrow function
  • For females of childbearing potential, a negative pregnancy test must be documented prior to enrollment
  • Patients who enter this study and their sexual partners who are of childbearing potential must agree to use an effective form of contraception

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within three (3) weeks (or six weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study, or those who have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier
  • Patients receiving any other investigational agents or using any investigational devices
  • Patients with leukemia
  • Patients who have previously received deforolimus or other rapamycin analogs
  • History of allergic reactions (in opinion of the investigator) attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to deforolimus and its excipients used in administration
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because the teratogenic or abortifacient effects of deforolimus are not known at this time
  • Because patients with immune deficiency are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy, known HIV-positive patients are excluded from the study because of possible pharmacokinetic interactions with deforolimus
  • Autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant <3 months prior to enrollment; any evidence of on-going graft versus host disease (GVHD), or GVHD requiring immunosuppressive therapy. Patients who have had prior stem cell transplant regimens must be discussed with and approved by the principal investigator prior to registration

About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center Phase I Study of Intravenous Deforolimus (AP23573, MK-8669) Administered QDX5 Every Other Week in Pediatric Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Ridaforolimus (Deforolimus, AP23573, MK-8669) is an mTor inhibitor shown to have promising activity in adults with a variety of solid malignancies, particularly the sarcomas. To date, no studies to evaluate appropriate dosing or to obtain pharmacokinetic data in pediatric patients have been conducted. Sarcomas are the second most common solid malignancies in children and young adults, and for those patients with recurrent or refractory disease, new therapies are needed. This initial evaluation of ridaforolimus will help define appropriate dosing and toxicity evaluations, as well as establish the first pharmacokinetic and biologic correlative data in pediatric patients treated with ridaforolimus.

  • ridaforolimusDrug

    Also called AP23573, deforolimus, MK-8669

    Ridaforolimus is given as an IV infusion over 30 minutes on days 1-5 and 15-19 of each 28 day cycle. For children less than 10 kg body weight, dosing will be adjusted.

What is being measured

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

  1. To establish the DLT and the MTD of ridaforolimus administered daily x 5 every 14 days in pediatric patients with recurrent/refractory solid tumors, including lymphoma and tumors of the central nervous system.

    Measured: Duration of trial

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To determine the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of ridaforolimus in pediatric patients with recurrent/refractory solid tumors, including tumors of the central nervous system. Screening at Day 1-18, Cycle 2 Day 1, Cycle 2 Day 15.

    Measured: Duration of trial

  2. To evaluate the safety and efficacy data of ridaforolimus when administered at the MTD or recommended phase II dose and schedule in an expanded cohort of patients when administered daily x 5 every 14 days

    Measured: Duration of trial

  3. To assess pharmacogenomic parameters from archival tumor specimens that may correlate with response to ridaforolimus.

    Measured: Duration of trial

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ridaforolimus in people with 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 12 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 13 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 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

To establish the DLT and the MTD of ridaforolimus administered daily x 5 every 14 days in pediatric patients with recurrent/refractory solid tumors, including lymphoma and tumors of the central nervous system. (time frame: Duration of trial). 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 NCT00704054, 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 13 Feb 2015.
