What participants receive

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

  • NeratinibDrug

    Neratinib will be administered orally, or through existing gastrostomy feeding tube, once a day with food, preferably in the morning, continuously for 28-day cycles, with no rest between cycles. Dose will be scaled by body surface area (BSA).

Study groups in NCT02932280
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
NeratinibExperimentalThere are 2 parts to this study: a Phase I part and a Phase II part. The Phase I portion is known as the dose escalation phase where neratinib will be tested in groups of 3-6 patients to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The phase II portion will determine whether the MTD shows a response to the tumor.
Receives: Drug: Neratinib

What is being measured

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

  1. the number of patients who have experienced Dose Limiting Toxicity

    NCI CTCAE Version 4.0.Definition of Hematologic Dose-Limiting Toxicity (solid tumor cohort only) Any hematologic toxicity as indicated: Febrile neutropenia defined as Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia with fever ≥ 38.5°C and /or infection requiring antibiotic or antifungal treatment Grade 4 neutropenia lasting > 7 days Grade 4 thrombocytopenia lasting > 7days Any drug-related adverse experience, regardless of grade, leading to a dose reduction of a study drug. Non-Hematologic Dose-Limiting Toxicities: Non-hematologic dose-limiting toxicity will be defined as any Grade 3, 4 or 5 nonhematologic toxicity with the specific exception of: Any grade diarrhea that occurs in the setting of poor compliance with supportive measures that last for < 48 hours Any grade dehydration related to diarrhea that occurs in the setting of inadequate compliance to supportive care measures that last for < 48 hours.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Neratinib in people with Solid Tumor and Central Nervous System Tumor, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 9 sites in 2 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 25 inclusion and 23 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United States, Canada. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

the number of patients who have experienced Dose Limiting Toxicity (time frame: 1 year). 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 4 Nov 2026.
