What is being measured

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

  1. Subjects With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events

    Treatment emergent adverse events observed during outcome measure time frame.

    Measured: From first study medication to on Day 32 (after repeated 28 days medication from Day 4 to 32)

  2. Number of Participants Who Experienced Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    Recommended Dose (RD) of OPB-31121 was defined as the highest dose at which Dose Limited Toxicity (DLT) occurred at an incidence of < 30%.

    DLT was defined as adverse events related to OPB-31121 occurring until Day 32, and 1) Grade 4 neutrophil count decreased persisting for ≧ 8 days, or Grade 3 or 4 febrile neutropenia, or infection with neutrophil count decreased 2) Grade 4 Plt decreased, or Grade 3 Plt decreased persisting for ≧ 8 days 3) Grade 3 or 4 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea that occurred despite the use of an anti-emetic or anti-diarrheal agents 4) Grade 3 or more severe AEsa excluding the AEs presented above 1) to 3) 5) AEs requiring interruption of IMP administration for a period of ≧ 8 consecutive days 6) Same AEs causing interruption of IMP administration twice

    Measured: From first study medication to on Day 32 (after repeated 28 days medication from Day 4 to 32)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Best Overall Response

    Overall response was evaluated based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST guideline) - mRECIST 1.0.

    Measured: From first dose of study medication up to 28 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing OPB-31121 and OPB-31121 phase2 in people with Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 2 sites 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 7 inclusion and 5 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 8 Jun 2015. 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 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 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 8 Jun 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?

Subjects With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (time frame: From first study medication to on Day 32 (after repeated 28 days medication from Day 4 to 32)). 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?
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 8 Jun 2015.
