What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    DLT was defined as any Grade 3 or 4 haematological or non-haematological toxicity occurring at any dose level until the end of Week 4, and suspected to be reasonably related to the investigational medicinal product by the Investigator and/or Sponsor. Toxicities not considered to be DLTs are as follows- Allergic reactions or anaphylaxis; any Grade 3 or 4 out-of-range laboratory values without any clinical correlate, which were reversible within 7 days, unless the Investigator decided this event is clinically significant. For this reason Grade 3 or 4 out-of-range laboratory values must be re-assessed within 7 days. In case the Investigator provides the subject any treatment(s) due to the out-of-range laboratory values, the event was regarded as a DLT.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 4

  2. Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax): After Single Dose

    Measured: Pre-dose, hour 1(end of infusion [EOI]), 4, 8, 24, 48, and 96 hours after start of infusion at Week 1

  3. Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of EMD 525797:After Multiple Dose

    Measured: Pre-dose, hour 1 (EOI), 4, 8, 24, 48, and 96 hours after start of infusion at Week 5

  4. Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration(AUC0-t) of EMD 525797: After Single Dose

    Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to the last sampling time at which the concentration is at or above Lower limit of quantification (LLQ).

    Measured: Pre-dose, hour 1 (EOI), 4, 8, 24, 48, and 96 hours after start of infusion at Week 1

    Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to the last sampling time at which the concentration is at or above LLQ.

    Measured: Pre-dose, hour 1 (EOI), 4, 8, 24, 48, and 96 hours after start of infusion at Week 5

  6. Total Body Clearance (CL) of EMD 525797: After Single Dose

    Total body clearance of drug in serum was calculated: as CL= Dose divided by Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC0-inf).

    Measured: Pre-dose, hour 1 (EOI), 4, 8, 24, 48, and 96 hours after start of infusion at Week 1

  7. Total Body Clearance at Steady State (CLss) of EMD 525797

    Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood. CL of drug in serum was calculated as : CL= Dose/ AUC0-inf. Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC0-inf), calculated as AUC0-t + AUCextra. AUCextra represents an extrapolated value obtained by Clast / λz, where Clast is the calculated serum concentration at the last sampling time point at which the measured serum concentration is at or above LLQ and λz is the elimination rate constant.

    Measured: Pre-dose, hour 1 (EOI), 4, 8, 24, 48, and 96 hours after start of infusion at Week 5

  8. Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz): After Single Dose

    Apparent volume of distribution during the terminal phase, calculated as Vz = Dose/AUC0-inf multiplied by elimination rate constant [λz]) following single dose. Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity, calculated (AUC0-inf) as AUC0-t + AUCextra. AUCextra represents an extrapolated value obtained by Clast / λz, where Clast is the calculated serum concentration at the last sampling time point at which the measured serum concentration is at or above LLQ and λz is the elimination rate constant. And the elimination rate constant obtained from linear regression of the terminal phase of the log transformed concentration-time data. A minimum of three points is required to calculate λz.

    Measured: Pre-dose, hour 1 (EOI), 4, 8, 24, 48, and 96 hours after start of infusion at Week 1

  9. Pharmacokinetics of EMD 525797 - Trough Values

    The observed serum concentration immediately before next dosing determined directly from the serum concentration-time profile of each subject (= trough concentration).

    Measured: Pre-dose, hour 1 (EOI), 4, 8, 24, 48, and 96 hours after start of infusion at Week 5

  10. Apparent Volume of Distribution: After Multiple Dose

    Apparent volume of distribution during the terminal phase, calculated as Vz = Dose/(Area under the serum concentration-time curve within one complete dosing interval [AUCtau]* λz) following multiple dose.

    Measured: Pre-dose, hour 1 (EOI), 4, 8, 24, 48, and 96 hours after start of infusion at Week 5

Per RECIST v1.0: CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of serum levels of tumor markers . PR was defined as >=30% decrease in sum of longest diameters of target lesions taking as reference baseline sum longest diameters associated to non-progressive disease response for non-target lesions. SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease taking as reference smallest sum of longest dimensions since treatment started associated to non-progressive disease response for non-target lesions.

    PFS time was defined as the time (in months) from the first dosing date to the date of first documentation of disease progression as reported and documented by the Investigator (i.e. radiological progression per RECIST version 1.0) or death for any cause within 12 weeks after last tumor assessment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing EMD525797 in people with Solid Tumor, run by Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany at 1 site in Japan.

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 16 inclusion and 20 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 13 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 May 2016). 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?

Number of Subjects With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: Baseline up to Week 4). The study lists 10 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 13 May 2016.
