What is being measured

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

  1. Part A: Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs

    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. A serious AE was an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important. Treatment-Emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as AEs that were reported or worsened on or after the start of study drug dosing through the 28-day Safety Follow-up visit. TEAEs included both Serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs.

    Measured: Baseline up to 28 days after the last dose of study treatment, assessed up to 53.1 weeks

  2. Part A: Number of Participants Who Experienced Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    DLT was defined using National cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0 as any of the following toxicities: Grade 4 neutropenia for more than 7 days; Grade greater than or equal to (>=) 3 febrile neutropenia; Grade 4 or Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding. Grade >= 3 uncontrolled nausea/vomiting and/or diarrhea despite adequate and optimal treatment and Grade >= 3 any non- hematological adverse event (AE), except the aforementioned gastrointestinal events and alopecia.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)

  3. Part A: Number of Participants With Toxicity Grade 3 or Higher in Laboratory Abnormalities

    The laboratory measurements included hematology and serum chemistry. It had been graded according to National Cancer Institute - Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 4.03 into Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), Grade 3 (severe), Grade 4 (Life-threatening) and Grade 5 = death. Participants with grade 3 or higher were reported.

  4. Part A: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of VX-984 in Combination With Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD)

    The MTD was defined as the combination dose associated with the highest probability that Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) events will occur in 16.6 percent to less than 33.3 percent participants as the combination dose that not exceeded the overdose criterion (more than 25 percent probability that DLT events occurred less than or equal to (>=) 33 percent of participants. DLT was defined using National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0.

    Measured: Up to Cycle 1 Day 28 (each cycle is 28 days)

  5. Part A: Number of Participants With Clinical Significant Abnormalities in Vital Signs

    Vital signs assessment included blood pressure, pulse rate and body temperature. Clinical significance was determined by the investigator. Number of participants with clinical significant abnormalities in vital Signs reported here.

  8. Part A: Number of Participants With Best Overall Response Evaluated by Response Criteria Evaluation (RECIST 1.1)

    The best overall response was defined as the number of participants who had achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as the best overall response according to radiological assessments as adjudicated by the IRC from randomization until the first occurrence of progressive disease (PD). CR: Complete Response (CR) defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm. Partial response (PR) defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. PD defined as an increase of at least 20% in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the diameters of target lesions recorded since treatment started.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing VX-984 120 mg + PLD 40 mg/m^2, VX-984 240 mg + PLD 40 mg/m^2 and VX-984 480 mg + PLD 40 mg/m^2 in people with Advanced Solid Tumor, run by EMD Serono Research & Development Institute, Inc. at 5 sites in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 16 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 9 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Sep 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?

Part A: Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs (time frame: Baseline up to 28 days after the last dose of study treatment, assessed up to 53.1 weeks). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 9 Sep 2019.
