What participants receive

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

  • DinaciclibDrug

    Also called SCH 727965, MK-7965

    Dinaciclib is given as a single intravenous (IV) dose on Days 1, 8, and 15 in Cycle 2 through Cycle 13 (28 day cycles) at a starting dose of 7 mg/m^2 up to a maximum dose of 14 mg/m^2.

  • RituximabBiological

    Also called Rituxan®

    Rituximab 375 mg/m^2 will be administered IV on Day 1, 8, 15 and 22 in Cycle 1 (28 day cycle) and on Day 1 in Cycles 3-13 (28 day cycles).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Dinaciclib and Rituximab in people with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, 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 10 inclusion and 18 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 10 Feb 2015. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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) (time frame: Cycles 2 & 3 (Days 29-84)). 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 NCT01650727, 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 10 Feb 2015.
