About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Dose-escalation Study With Extension to Evaluate Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Anti-tumor Activity of RO4987655, a MEK Inhibitor, Administered Orally as Monotherapy in Patients With Advanced Tumors

This study will determine the maximum tolerated dose and the dose-limiting toxicities of RO4987655 in patients with advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors. In the first part of the study, groups of patients will be sequentially enrolled to receive ascending oral doses of RO4987655 daily for 28 days. The starting dose of 1mg daily will be escalated in subsequent groups of patients after a successful assessment of the safety and tolerability of the previous dose. In Part 2 of the study, patients with metastatic or advanced malignant melanoma, or any other responsive tumor type, will be randomized to receive either the maximum tolerated dose or the optimal biological dose of RO4987655 daily. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing RO4987655 in people with Neoplasms, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 12 sites in 5 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 2 Sep 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in France, Spain, United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Maximum tolerated dose (Part 1) (time frame: Reviewed after each 4 week cycle). 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 2 Sep 2015.
