What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) were defined as cobimetinib-related adverse events occurring within the first 28 days of each administration of cobimetinib.

    Measured: Baseline up until 30 days after the last dose of study drug (up to 5 years, 2 months)

  2. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Including Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including abnormal laboratory values or abnormal clinical test results), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as AEs.

    Measured: Baseline up until 30 days after the last dose of study drug (up to 5 years, 2 months)

  3. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or Maximum Administered Dose (MAD) of Cobimetinib

    A prior dose level was defined as an MTD/MAD if at a certain dose level, there were greater than or equal to (>=) 2 out of 6 participants who had Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs).

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1 up to Cycle 1 Day 28 (cycle length=28 days)

  4. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)) as Determined by the Investigator Using Modified International Neuroblastoma Response Criteria (mINRC) for Participants With Neuroblastoma (Phase I)

    Tumor assessment was performed using mINRC for Participants with Neuroblastoma.

    Measured: Baseline up to disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (up to 5 years, 2 months)

  5. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (CR or PR) as Determined by the Investigator Using RANO Criteria for Participants With High-Grade Glioma (HGG) (Phase I) and RECIST v1.1 for Participants With Low-Grade Glioma (LGG) (Phase I and II)

    Tumor assessment was performed using Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria for participants with HGG and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) for participants with LGG. While the data for LGG in the phase II cohort is presented separately in other parts of the record, it was also considered useful to combine the data for LGG from phase I and phase II, which was done here.

    Measured: Baseline up to disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (up to 5 years, 2 months)

  6. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (CR or PR) as Determined by the Investigator Using RECIST v1.1 Criteria for Participants With All Other Tumours (Phase I)

    Tumor assessment was performed using RECIST v1.1 for Participants with All Other Tumours.

    Measured: Baseline up to disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (up to 5 years, 2 months)

  7. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (CR or PR) as Determined by the Investigator Using RANO Criteria for Participants With LGG (Phase II)

    Tumor assessment will be performed using RANO criteria for LGG.

    Measured: Baseline up to disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (up to 5 years, 2 months)

  8. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) as Determined by the Investigator Using mINRC for Participants With Neuroblastoma (Phase I)

    Tumor assessment was performed using mINRC for Participants with Neuroblastoma.

    Measured: From the time of cobimetinib study drug initiation to the first documented disease progression, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (up to 5 years, 2 months)

  9. PFS as Determined by the Investigator Using RANO Criteria for Participants With HGG (Phase I) and RECIST v1.1 for Partcipants With LGG (Phase I and II)

    Tumor assessment was performed using RANO for participants with HGG and RECIST v1.1 for participants with LGG. While the data for LGG in the phase II cohort is presented separately in other parts of the record, it was also considered useful to combine the data for LGG from phase I and phase II, which was done here.

    Measured: From the time of cobimetinib study drug initiation to the first documented disease progression, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (up to 5 years, 2 months)

  10. PFS as Determined by the Investigator Using RECIST v1.1 Criteria for Participants With All Other Tumours (Phase I)

    Tumor assessment was performed using RECIST v1.1 for Participants with All Other Tumours.

    Measured: From the time of cobimetinib study drug initiation to the first documented disease progression, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (up to 5 years, 2 months)

  11. PFS as Determined by the Investigator Using RANO Criteria for Participants With LGG (Phase II)

    Tumor assessment was performed using RANO criteria for Participants with LGG.

    Measured: From the time of cobimetinib study drug initiation to the first documented disease progression, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (up to 5 years, 2 months)

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) of Cobimetinib

    A prior dose level was defined as an RP2D if at a certain dose level, there were greater than or equal to (≥) 2 out of 6 participants who had Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs).

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1 up to Cycle 1 Day 28 (cycle length=28 days)

  2. Duration of Response (DOR) as Determined by the Investigator Using RECIST v1.1 for Participants With LGG (Phase I and II)

    Tumor assessment was performed using RECIST v1.1 criteria for participants with LGG. While the data for LGG in the phase II cohort is presented separately in other parts of the record, it was also considered useful to combine the data for LGG from phase I and phase II, which was done here.

    Measured: From first occurrence of objective response to disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (up to 5 years, 2 months)

  3. DOR as Determined by the Investigator RANO Criteria for Participants With LGG (Phase II)

    Tumor assessment was performed using RANO criteria for Participants with LGG.

    Measured: From first occurrence of objective response to disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (up to 5 years, 2 months)

  4. Overall Survival (OS) for Participants With Neuroblastoma (Phase I)

    OS was defined as the time from initiation of study drug to death from any cause.

    Measured: Baseline until death due to any cause (up to 5 years, 2 months)

  5. OS for Participants With High-Grade Glioma (HGG) (Phase I) and Low-Grade Glioma (LGG) (Phase I and II)

    OS was defined as the time from initiation of study drug to death from any cause. While the data for LGG in the phase II cohort is presented separately in other parts of the record, it was also considered useful to combine the data for LGG from phase I and phase II, which was done here.

A Phase 1/2 study testing Cobimetinib in people with Solid Tumors, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 17 sites in 7 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 12 inclusion and 10 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 16 Sep 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in United States, France, Spain, United Kingdom, Germany and 2 more countries. 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 31 Mar 2022). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: Baseline up until 30 days after the last dose of study drug (up to 5 years, 2 months)). The study lists 11 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 NCT02639546, 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 16 Sep 2022.
