About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of ARQ 197 in Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ARQ 197 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients treated with daily oral ARQ 197, to determine the recommended dose of ARQ 197 in advanced HCC patients.

Being tested
ARQ 197

What participants receive

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

  • ARQ 197Drug

    Also called Tivantinib

    Daily repeating dose of oral ARQ 197, twice a day just after meals. Dose of ARQ 197 will be escalated according to 3+3 rule.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Adverse Event collection and assessment will be done for all treated subjects to assess the safety, tolerability. The grading for the severity of the adverse events will be determined according to CTCAE ver 4.0.

    Measured: DLT observation period will be the first 28 days after the start of ARQ 197 treatment.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Profiles of Pharmacokinetics

    maximum concentration (Cmax), area under the curve (AUC), half-life (t1/2), apparent clearance (Cl/F), and apparent volume of distribution in the terminal elimination phase (Vz/F).

    Measured: Plasma sample correction at pre-dose 1, 2, 4, 6, 10, 12 and 24 hours on day 1; at pre-dose, 1, 2, 4, 6, 10, 12 hours on day 15; and at pre-dose on day 29.

  2. Antitumor effects according to RECIST 1.1.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ARQ 197 in people with Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 3 Mar 2017. 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?

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 with dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), as a measure of safety and tolerability (time frame: DLT observation period will be the first 28 days after the start of ARQ 197 treatment.). 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 3 Mar 2017.
