What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (OR) Assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours Version (RECIST) 1.1

    Objective response according to RECIST v1.1. Best overall response of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) recorded since first administration of trial medication and until the earliest of disease progression, death or start of next treatment in each part separately. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Objective Response (OR) = CR + PR. Percentage of participants with OR along with exact 95% Confidence Interval by Clopper and Pearson is presented.

    Measured: From the initial dose of study drug until 28 days after end of the treatment period, up to 1562 days

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Best Overall Response According to RECIST v1.1 (With Confirmation)

    Best overall response was assessed according to RECIST version 1.1 and was calculated relative to the baseline of each respective part .Percentage of participants with best overall response along with exact 95% Confidence Interval by Clopper and Pearson is presented. Best overall response was defined as the best response recorded at any time from the first administration of drug to the End of Treatment (EOT). As Per RECIST v1.1 for target lesions and assessed by Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), at least 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; progression, at least 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions; Stable Disease (SD), neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for disease progression.

    Measured: From the initial dose of study drug until 28 days after end of the treatment period, up to 1562 days

Best overall response was defined as the best response recorded at any time from the first administration of drug to the End of Treatment (EOT). As Per RECIST v1.1 for target lesions and assessed by Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), at least 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; progression, at least 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions; Stable Disease (SD), neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for disease progression.

As Per RECIST v1.1 for target lesions and assessed by Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), at least 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; progression, at least 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions; Stable Disease (SD), neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for disease progression.

    Measured: From the first objective response to the time of progression or death, up to 1562 days

  5. Percentage of Patients With Highest Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 3.0 Grade of 3 or Higher

    Percentage of patients with highest common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) version 3.0 Grade of 3 or higher.

    Measured: From the initial dose of study drug until 28 days after end of the treatment period, up to 1562 days

  6. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP)

    Change from baseline to end of treatment in systolic blood pressure (SBP).

    Measured: Baseline and End of treatment period, up to 1562 days

  7. Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP)

    Change from baseline to end of treatment in diastolic blood pressure (DBP).

    Measured: Baseline and End of treatment period, up to 1562 days

  8. Number of Patient With Possibly Clinically Significant (PCS) Laboratory Values

    Number of patient with possibly clinically significant (PCS) laboratory values by functional group (haematology, differentials, coagulation, electrolytes, enzymes, and substrates). Acronyms Used: Prothrombin time-International normalized ratio (PT-INR), Alanine aminotransferase/Glutamic pyruvic transaminase (ALT/GPT) Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), Aspartate aminotransferase/Glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (AST/GOT) Serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT)

    Measured: From the initial dose of study drug until 28 days after end of the treatment period, up to 1562 days

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 4 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 17 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 27 sites in Russia, India, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Hong Kong and 1 more country. 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 17 Jun 2019). 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 Objective Response (OR) Assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours Version (RECIST) 1.1 (time frame: From the initial dose of study drug until 28 days after end of the treatment period, up to 1562 days). 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 NCT01271725, 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 17 Jun 2019.
