About this study

This is a Phase 1 study during which patients with advanced solid tumors will receive investigational study drug ARRY-438162 (MEK162).

This study has 3 parts. In the first part, patients with advanced solid tumors will receive increasing doses of study drug in order to achieve the highest dose of the study drug possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. Approximately 30 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 1. (Active, not recruiting)

Read more

In the second part of the study, patients with advanced or metastatic biliary cancer will receive the best dose of study drug determined from the first part of the study and will be followed to see what side effects and effectiveness the study drug has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 25 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 2. (Active, not recruiting)

In the third part of the study, patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) will receive the best dose of the study drug determined from the first part of the study and will be followed to see what side effects and effectiveness the study drug has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 25 patients with KRAS mutation (Active, not recruiting) and 15 patients with BRAF mutation (Active, not recruiting) from the US will be enrolled in Part 3.

What is being measured

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

  1. Establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the study drug.

    Measured: Part 1, one year

  2. Characterize the safety profile of the study drug in terms of adverse events, clinical laboratory tests and electrocardiograms.

    Measured: Parts 1, 2 and 3: two years

  3. Characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the study drug and metabolite.

    Measured: Parts 1, 2 and 3: two years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Assess the efficacy of the study drug in terms of tumor response, duration of response, duration of stable disease, progression-free survival and overall survival.

    Measured: Parts 1, 2 and 3: two years

  2. Assess possible PK/pharmacodynamic (PD) or PK/efficacy and safety correlations.

    Measured: Parts 1, 2 and 3: two years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ARRY-438162 (MEK162), MEK inhibitor; oral in people with Advanced Solid Tumors and Advanced or Metastatic Biliary Cancer, run by Array Biopharma, now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer at 10 sites in United States.

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 10 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 16 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States. 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?

Establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the study drug. (time frame: Part 1, one year). The study lists 3 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 16 Sep 2020.
