About this study

EMD Serono decided to terminate enrollment based on a review of the available clinical data and low probability of completing the trial based on the observed recruitment rate. Subjects already enrolled in the study continued participation in the study, consistent with the protocol, to study completion.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this research study is to investigate for the first time the safety and tolerability of a new drug (AS703569), called an aurora kinase inhibitor, being tested to treat blood cancers in patients with different blood cancers. The research study will also assess how the body breaks down AS703569 and what changes occur in the blood after oral doses of AS703569. It will also look to see if there is any improvement in your blood cancer. The use of AS703569 in this study is experimental.

    Regimen 1 - 3-47 mg/m2/day, orally once daily on days 1, 2,3 and 8, 9, 10 of a 21 day cycle:

    Number of cycles: until progression or unacceptable toxicity develops.

    Cohort Expansion

    Regimen 1 - Maximum tolerated dose from dose-escalation part or a lower dose in mg/m2/day, orally once daily on days 1, 2,3 and 8, 9, 10 of a 21 day cycle:

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    Dose-escalation part - The number of subjects experiencing at least a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT), judged to be related to the study medication, evaluated over the first cycle only for each dose level and regimen, independently.

    Measured: 21 days or 1 cycle

  2. Preliminary anti-tumour activity

    Cohort expansion part - Preliminary anti-tumour activity in four selected cohorts of haematological malignancies as assessed every two cycles

    Measured: 42 days or 2 cycles

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE)

    Dose-escalation and Cohort expansion parts The proportion/number of subjects experiencing treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) after the first cycle and during multiple cycles, in each cohort for each of the 2 dose-regimens.

    Measured: minimum 21 days or 1 cycle

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AS703569 in people with Haematological Malignancies, run by EMD Serono at 10 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 15 inclusion and 14 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 22 Oct 2013. 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 Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, United States, Italy. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Please see Purpose Statement below). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) (time frame: 21 days or 1 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01080664, 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 22 Oct 2013.
