What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    AE:any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease associated with use of study drug, regardless of relation to study drug. Pre-existing conditions that worsened and laboratory or clinical tests that resulted in change in treatment or discontinuation from study drug were reported as AEs. Serious AE: resulted in death, life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was congenital anomaly/birth defect or was medically significant. Grade-1:discomfort but no disruption of normal daily activity. Grade-2:discomfort sufficient to reduce or affect daily activity,no intervention indicated.Grade-3:inability to perform normal daily activity,intervention indicated.Grade-4:immediate threat to life or leading to permanent mental or physical condition that prevented performing normal daily activities.Grade 5: death. Any AE included participants with serious and non-serious AE.

    Measured: From baseline up to last dose (0.1 to 11.3 months) plus 28 days

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Percentage of Participants With a Best Overall Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) by Disease Site

    Objective response was assessed by the investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) (Version 1.1). CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesions, and no new lesions. Best overall response was calculated separately for brain, other sites (extracranial) and whole body. Percentage of participants with 95 percent (%) Clopper-Pearson confidence interval (CI) are reported.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8 and thereafter every 8th week until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, death or other reasons deemed by the investigator (up to 16 months)

  2. Duration of Response by Disease Site

    Duration of response was defined as the time interval between the date of the earliest qualifying response and the date of progressive disease (PD) or death, only for those participants whose best overall response was CR or PR. CR and PR were assessed by investigator according to RECIST version 1.1. CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesions, and no new lesions. PD was defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study and absolute increase of at least 5 millimeter (mm), progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions. Duration of response was calculated by Kaplan-Meier estimates separately for brain, other sites (extracranial) and whole body.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8 and thereafter every 8th week until progressive disease or death (up to 16 months)

  3. Time to Response by Disease Site

    Time to response was defined as the interval between the date of first treatment and the date of first documentation of CR or PR (whichever occurred first). CR and PR were assessed by investigator according to RECIST version 1.1. CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesions, and no new lesions. Time of response was calculated by Kaplan-Meier estimates separately for brain, other sites (extracranial) and whole body.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8 and thereafter every 8th week until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, death or other reasons deemed by the investigator (up to 16 months)

  4. Duration of Stable Disease (SD) by Disease Site

    Duration of SD was defined as the time between the first documented date of SD and date of PD or death from any cause. SD was defined (according to RECIST version 1.1) as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesions, and no new lesions. PD was defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study and absolute increase of at least 5 mm, progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions. Duration of SD was calculated by Kaplan-Meier estimates separately for brain, other sites (extracranial) and whole body.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8 and thereafter every 8th week until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, death or other reasons deemed by the investigator (up to 16 months)

  5. Time to New Lesion by Disease Site

    Time to new lesions was defined as the interval between the date of first treatment and the date of first documentation of new lesions. Time to new lesion was calculated by Kaplan-Meier estimates separately for brain, other sites (extracranial) and whole body.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8 and thereafter every eighth week until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, death or other reasons deemed by the investigator (up to 16 months)

  6. Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression or Death by Disease Site

    Disease progression (according to RECIST version 1.1) was defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study or absolute increase and at least 5 mm, progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions. Percentage of participants with disease progression by brain, other sites (extracranial) and whole body are reported.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8 and thereafter every 8th week until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, death or other reasons deemed by the investigator (up to 16 months)

  7. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time interval between the date of the first treatment and the date of progression or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Disease progression (according to RECIST version 1.1) was defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study or absolute increase and at least 5 mm, progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions. PFS was calculated by Kaplan-Meier estimates separately for brain, other sites (extracranial) and whole body.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8 and thereafter every eighth week until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, death or other reasons deemed by the investigator (up to 16 months)

  8. Percentage of Participants Who Died

    Percentage of participants who died due to any reason are reported.

    Measured: Baseline up to end of the study and every 3 months during follow-up (up to 16 months)

  9. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time from the date of first treatment to the date of death, regardless of the cause of death. Participants who discontinued the study treatment for any reason other than withdrawal of consent were continued to be followed for survival. The end of study occurred when all participants had been followed for a period of 6 months, had died, withdrawn consent or were lost to follow-up, whichever occurred first. OS was calculated by Kaplan-Meier estimates.

    Measured: From start of treatment up to end of the study and every 3 months during follow up (up to 16 months)

  10. Percentage of Participants With Improvement in Total Daily Dose of Corticosteroids

    An improvement in corticosteroid dose was defined as a dose reduction of at least 33% of baseline dose for at least 28 days or stopping use completely. Percentage of participants and 95% Clopper-Pearson CI are reported.

    Measured: Baseline, every week during the first 8 weeks and every second week thereafter up to last dose (0.1 to 11.3 months) plus 28 days

  11. Percentage of Participants With Improvement in Total Daily Dose of Narcotic Pain Analgesic

    An improvement in narcotic pain analgesics was defined as a dose reduction of at least 33% of baseline dose for at least 28 days or stopping use completely.

    Measured: Baseline, every week during the first 8 weeks and every second week thereafter up to last dose (0.1 to 11.3 months) plus 28 days

  12. Percentage of Participants With Improvement in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Assessment of Pain

    VAS is a measure of pain intensity. The participant was asked to mark on a 100 mm line where their pain level was on the day they completed the scale. The beginning of the line represented no pain and the end of the line represented maximum pain. Total score ranged from 0 - 100. Reported values are decrease in VAS of greater than (>) 20 mm or >30 mm from baseline.

    Measured: Baseline; Day 1 of Cycles 2-8 (28-day cycle) and at the end of study visit (up to 16 months)

  13. Percentage of Participants With Improvement in Physician's Assessment of Global Performance Status

    Physician's Assessment of Global Performance Status was assessed on 7 point scale (1- Very much better, 2-Much better, 3-A little better, 4-No change, 5-A little worse, 6-Much worse, 7- Very much worse). An improvement was classed as a difference from baseline of at least -1 point. Percentage of participants with 95% Clopper-Pearson CI were reported for participants with improvement in Physician's Assessment of Global Performance Status at any visit.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 1 of every 28-day cycle, at end of study and at the 28-day follow-up visit (up to 16 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing RO5185426 in people with Malignant Melanoma, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 2 sites in Switzerland.

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 4 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 31 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Switzerland. 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 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 7 Aug 2015). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: From baseline up to last dose (0.1 to 11.3 months) plus 28 days). 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 31 Jul 2017.
