What is being measured

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

  1. Antitumor Activity of Dovitinib in Terms of Disease Control Rate (DCR): Complete Response+Partial Response +Stable Disease

    DCR is defined as the proportion of patients with a best overall response of Complete Responses (CR), Partial Response (PR) and Stable Disease (SD) at 12 weeks according to RECIST (version 1.1). Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm 1;Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters. Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm2. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR or CR nor an increase in lesions which would qualify for PD.

    Measured: 12 Weeks

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS) of Patients Treated With Dovitinib

    The PFS duration: time from entry into the study to the date of the first documented progression (assessed using conventional RECIST (version 1.1) or death due to any cause. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 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.

    Measured: 9 months

  2. Time to Treatment Failure (TTF)of Patients Treated With Dovitinib

    TTF: the date of entry into the study to the earliest date of the first objective tumor progression, date of death due to any cause, or date of discontinuation due to reasons other than 'Protocol deviation' or 'Administrative problems'.

    Measured: 9 months

  3. Duration of Response or Stable Disease (SD)

    Duration of response or SD: time from date of entry into study to earliest date of first objective tumor progression or death. DCR is defined as proportion of patients with best overall response of CR, PR and SD at 12 weeks according to RECIST (version 1.1). CR: Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm 1; PR: At least a 30% decrease in sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters. PD: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm2. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR or CR nor an increase in lesions which would qualify for PD.

    Measured: 9 months

  4. Time to Tumor Progression (TTP)of Patients Treated With Dovitinib

    TTP: time from the date of entry into the study to first documentation of tumor progression or death due to the underlying cancer. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 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.

    Measured: 9 months

  5. Overall Response Rate (ORR) of Patients Treated With Dovitinib

    Outcome Measure Description: ORR: proportion of patients whose best overall response is either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST (version 1.1). Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm 1;Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters. Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm2. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR or CR nor an increase in lesions which would qualify for PD.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  6. Overall Survival (OS) of Patients Treated With Dovitinib

    Outcome Measure Description: OS: time from the date of entry into the study to the date of death due to any cause. A patient who has not died by the date of the analysis cut-off would have the OS censored at the time of the last contact before the cut-off date.

    Measured: 21 months (9 months of estimated treatment plus 12 months of survival follow up)

  7. DCR (CR+PR+SD) at the End of Treatment

    DCR is defined as the proportion of patients with a best overall response of CR, PR and SD at the end of dovitinib treatment according to RECIST (version 1.1). Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm 1;Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters. Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm2. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR or CR nor an increase in lesions which would qualify for PD.

    Measured: Up to 9 months of estimated treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dovitinib (TKI258) in people with Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 15 sites in 5 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 13 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 27 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in France, Italy, Spain, Finland, Germany. 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 10 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?

Antitumor Activity of Dovitinib in Terms of Disease Control Rate (DCR): Complete Response+Partial Response +Stable Disease (time frame: 12 Weeks). 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 27 Apr 2016.
