About this study

This is an extension study that will allow participants to continue to receive study therapy when the original studies into which they were enrolled have reached their designated end-dates. This extension study is designed to further evaluate the safety and tolerability of tivantinib (ARQ 197) monotherapy or in combination with other drug(s) when given to participants who tolerated previous treatment well and may benefit from the continuing treatment.

Read the detailed description

This open label extension protocol enrolls participants who were treated in previous phase 1 (NCT01149720, NCT01517399, NCT01699061, NCT00612703, NCT00827177, and NCT00874042) and phase 2 (NCT00777309, NCT00557609, NCT00988741, NCT01395758 , and NCT01055067) tivantinib studies that have reached their designated end-dates. Participants enrolled in this extension protocol will provide further safety and tolerability information about tivantinib monotherapy or in combination with other drug(s) at the same dose(s), and same schedule(s) in which they were originally enrolled.

What participants receive

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

  • TivantinibDrug

    Also called ARQ 197

    Tivantinib 360 mg (3 x 120 mg tablets or capsules) twice daily by mouth.

  • Anti-Cancer Combination TherapyDrug

    Also called ARQ 197

    Tivantinib 360 mg twice daily in combination with other anti-cancer therapy (eg, erlotinib,sorafenib, pemetrexed, docataxel, gemcitabine, irinotecan, and/or cetuximab) at the same dose and schedule in which they were administered in the original (previous) study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Extent of Exposure to ARQ 197 in Participants Benefiting From Prior ARQ 197 Therapy

    The duration of ARQ 197 exposure in this study was calculated as [(date of last dose of study drug - date of first dose of study drug) + 1]. Results refer to duration of ARQ 197 treatment in the present study only (i.e., does not include treatment received during participation in "feeder" studies).

    Measured: Up to 3,021 days (up to 14-Jan-2019)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants With ≥1 Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

    Measured: Up to 3021 days

  2. Number of Participants Discontinuing Treatment Due to an AE

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

    Measured: Up to 3,021 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Tivantinib and Anti-Cancer Combination Therapy in people with Advanced Solid Tumors, run by ArQule, Inc., a subsidiary of Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, NJ USA).

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 9 inclusion and 8 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 10 Mar 2021. 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 combined 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.

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 17 Feb 2021). 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?

Extent of Exposure to ARQ 197 in Participants Benefiting From Prior ARQ 197 Therapy (time frame: Up to 3,021 days (up to 14-Jan-2019)). 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 10 Mar 2021.
