About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Ridaforolimus in Pediatric Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

The main objectives of this trial are to determine the recommended dose of ridaforolimus for pediatric participants with advanced solid tumors by measuring the number of participants experiencing dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) while on different doses of ridaforolimus, and to characterize the pharmacokinetics of ridaforolimus in these participants. The primary hypotheses of this study are that 1) the DLTs observed will be dose-dependent and allow for definition of a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and 2) at a safe and well tolerated dose, ridaforolimus geometric mean (GM) Day-5 blood area under the concentration-time curve at 24 hours (AUC0-24) exceeds 75% (or 1304-ng*hr/mL) of the estimated GM Day-5, 40-mg AUC0-24 in adults.

Study-related visits concluded in August 2013. Participants who did not have disease progression, adequately tolerated therapy, and continued to meet eligibility criteria for 6 months after the enrollment period had been completed could continue treatment in an extension phase until they met discontinuation criteria or voluntarily withdrew.

What participants receive

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

  • RidaforolimusDrug

    Also called MK-8669

    Oral administration of 10 mg enteric-coated tablets at doses of 22 mg/m^2, 28 mg/m^2, or 33 mg/m^2 based on body surface area (BSA), once daily for 5 consecutive days each week in consecutive 28-day cycles.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Ridaforolimus 22 mg/m^2ExperimentalParticipants receive 22 mg/m^2 of ridaforolimus administered orally for 5 consecutive days each week (2 days rest) in consecutive 28-day cycles for up to six months. Eligible participants can receive additional treatment in an extension phase of the study.
Receives: Drug: Ridaforolimus
Ridaforolimus 28 mg/m^2ExperimentalParticipants receive 28 mg/m^2 of ridaforolimus administered orally for 5 consecutive days each week (2 days rest) in consecutive 28-day cycles for up to six months. Eligible participants can receive additional treatment in an extension phase of the study.
Receives: Drug: Ridaforolimus
Ridaforolimus 33 mg/m^2ExperimentalParticipants receive 33 mg/m^2 of ridaforolimus administered orally for 5 consecutive days each week (2 days rest) in consecutive 28-day cycles for up to six months. Eligible participants can receive additional treatment in an extension phase of the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Experiencing a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) According to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0 (NCI-CTCAE v.4.0)

    DLT defined using NCI-CTCAE v.4.0 as any of the following events occurring during the first 28-day cycle that were possibly, probably, or definitely study drug-related: Grade 4 neutropenia for ≥5 days; Grade 3-4 neutropenia associated with fever, antibiotics, or hospitalization for infection; Grade 4 thrombocytopenia for ≥5 days or requiring platelet transfusion; ≥Grade 3 hyperglycemia for ≥5 days despite management; ≥Grade 3 diarrhea for >24 hours despite management; ≥Grade 3 nausea or vomiting despite management; any other Grade ≥3 non-hematological toxicity persisting despite management (except alopecia, transient electrolyte abnormalities, transient Grade 3 liver function test elevations, and Grade 3 neurotoxicity for participants with baseline Grade 3 neurotoxicity); inability to complete DLT assessment period, interruption in dosing for >10 dosing days during DLT assessment period, or any delay in the initiation of the next cycle for >10 dosing days due to any related toxicity.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (cycle = 28 days)

  2. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve of Ridaforolimus From Time 0 to 24 Hours (AUC0-24 hr)

    AUC is a measure of the amount of drug in the blood over time. Whole blood samples were collected pre-dose (within 5 minutes of ridaforolimus administration) and post-dose at specified time points on Day 5 of the first week of Cycle 1 to determine AUC0-24 hr.

    Measured: Day 5 of Cycle 1 [28-day cycle]: pre-dose (0.0 hours) and 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, and 24.0 hours after administration of ridaforolimus

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ridaforolimus in people with Solid Tumors, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

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 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Mar 2019. 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 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 1 Mar 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?

Number of Participants Experiencing a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) According to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0 (NCI-CTCAE v.4.0) (time frame: Cycle 1 (cycle = 28 days)). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01431534, 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 1 Mar 2019.
