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

    An adverse event is defined as any unintended or undesirable, noxious, or pathological change, compared to pre-existing conditions, experienced by a participant during a clinical study or the follow-up period, regardless of relationship to study drug. The number of participants who experienced an adverse event is presented.

    Measured: Up to approximately 2991 days, including 30 days after the last dose (through data cut-off date of 03 Apr 2017)

  2. Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Drug Due to an Adverse Event

    An adverse event is defined as any unintended or undesirable, noxious, or pathological change, compared to pre-existing conditions, experienced by a participant during a clinical study or the follow-up period, regardless of relationship to study drug. The number of participants who discontinued study drug due to an adverse event is presented.

    Measured: Up to approximately 2961 days (through data cut-off date of 03 Apr 2017)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD), or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Per Response Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1), PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Note: The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered PD. The PFS for all participants is presented in days.

    Measured: Up to approximately 2961 days (through data cut-off date of 03 Apr 2017)

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of the final analysis will be censored at the date of the last follow-up.

    Measured: Up to approximately 2991 days (through data cut-off date of 03 Apr 2017)

  3. Duration of Response (DOR)

    For participants who demonstrated a confirmed response (Completed Response [CR] or Partial Response [PR]) per RECIST 1.1, DOR was defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until disease progression or death. DOR for participants who had not progressed or died at the time of analysis was to be censored at the date of their last tumor assessment.

    Measured: Up to approximately 2961 days (through data cut-off date of 03 Apr 2017)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ridaforolimus Tablet and Ridaforolimus Intravenous (IV) Infusion in people with Advanced Cancers, 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 6 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 3 May 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 (time frame: Up to approximately 2991 days, including 30 days after the last dose (through data cut-off date of 03 Apr 2017)). 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 18 Feb 2019.
