  • has a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
  • has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score of 0, 1, or 2.

  • has a serum creatinine value greater than 1.5 mg/dL.
  • has known cerebral metastases.
  • is currently on warfarin or heparin therapy.

  • is receiving any other antineoplastic treatment for solid tumors. (Continuing hormonal treatment is permitted.)
  • has received any investigational drug within the past 4 weeks.
  • has previously been enrolled in the study or received CEP-11981.
  • has known hypersensitivity to gelatin or lactose monohydrate.
  • is a woman who is pregnant or lactating.
  • has taken a medication known to be a potent inducer of CYP1A2, CYP2C8, or CYP3A4 within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CEP-11981 (kinase inhibitor)Drug

    Patients will be treated with oral CEP-11981 once daily for 28 days, followed by a treatment-free period of 14 days. This 42-day (6-week) period will constitute 1 cycle. The starting dose for the study will be 3 mg/m2. Dose escalation from this starting dose follows a modified Fibonacci sequence.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of CEP-11981, as defined in the Study Protocol.

    Measured: At least one 6-week (42-day) cycle, which includes 28 days treatment during each cycle

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Tumor response or progression using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria.

    Measured: At least one 6-week (42-day) cycle, which includes 28 days treatment during each cycle

  2. Measurement of Pharmacokinetic parameters

    Measured: Cycle 1 (42 days) and Day 1 of Cycle 2

  3. Safety and tolerability of CEP-11981

    Measured: At least one 6-week (42-day) cycle, which includes 28 days treatment during each cycle

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CEP-11981 (kinase inhibitor) in people with Cancer, run by Cephalon.

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 11 inclusion and 15 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 25 Jul 2012. 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?

Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of CEP-11981, as defined in the Study Protocol. (time frame: At least one 6-week (42-day) cycle, which includes 28 days treatment during each cycle). 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 25 Jul 2012.
