What is being measured

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

  1. Phase 1b: Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    A DLT is defined as an adverse event that is likely related to the study medication or combination, and fulfils any one of the following criteria, graded according to the NCI-CTCAE version 4.03:

    1. Any febrile neutropenia
    2. Grade 4 thrombocytopenia, or Grade 3 thrombocytopenia complicated by clinically significant hemorrhage
    3. Grade 4 neutropenia lasting 7 days or longer
    4. Nonhematologic Grade ≥3 toxicity, except for toxicities such as nausea, vomiting, transient electrolyte abnormalities, diarrhea which can be controlled with optimal medical management within 48 hours; non-clinically significant, treatable, or reversible laboratory abnormalities including liver function tests, uric acid, electrolytes, etc.
    5. Any other significant toxicity deemed to be dose-limiting (e.g., any toxicity that is possibly related to the study medication that requires the withdrawal of the participant from the study during Cycle 1).

    Measured: Cycle 1 (Up to 28 days)

  2. Phase 2: Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. If the participant is alive or lost to follow-up at the time of data analysis, OS data will be censored on the last date the participant is known to be alive. For any participant who has withdrawn consent for further follow-up of survival data, OS will be censored at the last date for which the participant consented to be followed for the study.

    Measured: Baseline to Date of Death from Any Cause (Up To 29 Months)

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Phase 1b/2: Pharmacokinetics (PK): Minimum Concentration (Cmin) of Olaratumab

    PK: Cmin of olaratumab

    Measured: Pre-dose, 5 min, 1, 4, 4.5, 24, 96, 168, 336 h post-dose on Cycle 1 Day 1, Cycle 1 Day 15, Cycle 3 Day 1, Cycle 3 Day 15

  2. Phase 2: Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Anti-Olaratumab Antibodies

    Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Anti-Olaratumab Antibodies

    Measured: Baseline through Follow-up (Up To 29 Months)

  3. Phase 1b: Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. If the participant is alive or lost to follow-up at the time of data analysis, OS data will be censored on the last date the participant is known to be alive. For any participant who has withdrawn consent for further follow-up of survival data, OS will be censored at the last date for which the participant consented to be followed for the study.

    Measured: Baseline to Date of Death from Any Cause (Approximately 9 Months)

  4. Phase 2: Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first date of radiologic disease progression (as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 [RECIST v.1.1]) or death due to any cause in the absence of progressive disease (PD). PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, with reference being the smallest sum on study and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm, or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions, or 1 or more new lesions. Participants who did not progress or are lost to follow-up were censored at the day of their last radiographic tumor assessment, if available, or date of randomization if no post-baseline radiographic assessment is available. If death or PD occurs after 2 or more consecutive missing radiographic visits, censoring will occur at the date of the last radiographic visit prior to the missed visits.

    Measured: Baseline to Disease Progression or Death (Up To 26 Months)

  5. Phase 1b/2: Objective Response Rate (ORR): Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)

    ORR is the best overall tumor response of CR or PR as classified by the investigator according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1). CR is a disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. PR is an at least 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameter) without progression of non-target lesions or appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: Baseline through Disease Progression or Death (Up To 26 Months)

  6. Phase 1b/2: Duration of Response (DoR)

    DoR is defined as the time from the date measurement criteria for CR or PR (whichever is first recorded) are first met until the first date that disease is recurrent or objective progression is observed, per RECIST 1.1 criteria, or the date of death from any cause in the absence of objectively determined disease progression or recurrence.

    Measured: From Date of CR or PR to Date of Objective Disease Progression or Death Due to Any Cause (Up To 19 Months)

  7. Phase 2: Time to First Worsening of the Brief Pain Inventory Short Form Modified (mBPI-sf) "Worst Pain Score"

    The mBPI-sf is a 11-item instrument used as a multiple-item measure of cancer pain intensity ranging from 0 (no pain or does not interfere) and ranged through 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine or completely interferes). Time to first worsening of the mBPI-sf "worst pain score" (TWP) was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the first date of either a "worst pain" score increase of greater than or equal to (≥) 2 points from baseline or an analgesic drug class increase of ≥1 level. If the participant has not worsened by either of these criteria, TWP was censored for analysis on the last date the mBPI-sf was administered.

    Measured: Baseline through Follow-up (Up To 21 Months)

  8. Phase 2: Time to First Worsening of Symptom Burden on the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) - Symptom Scales.

    The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a self-reported general cancer instrument consisting of 30 items covered by 1 of 3 dimensions: global health status/quality of life (2 items), functional scales (15 total items addressing either physical, role, emotional, cognitive, or social functioning), symptom scales (13 total items addressing either fatigue, nausea/vomiting, pain, dyspnoea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhoea, or financial impact). Time to first worsening of Symptom Burden was defined as the time from randomization to the first observation of worsening on symptom scales (i.e.,) increase of at least 10 points from baseline. For symptom scales, a linear transformation was used to obtain total score ranging from 0 to 100, a high score represents a high level of symptomatology or problems.

    Measured: Baseline through Follow-up (Up To 21 Months)

  9. Phase 2: Health Status on the EuroQol 5-Dimension 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L)

    The EQ-5D-5L is a standardized instrument for use as a measure of self-reported health status. Five dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) of health status are each assessed with 5 response options (1=no problem, 2=slight, 3=moderate, 4=severe, and 5=extreme problem) and scored as a composite index which were anchored on a scale of 0 to 1 with a higher score representing better health status. Additionally, current health status was assessed on a visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from 0 to 100 with a higher score representing better health status.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1, Cycle 7 Day 1

The record lists 34 sites in United States, Germany, Spain. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 11 Jan 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?

Phase 1b: Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: Cycle 1 (Up to 28 days)). The study lists 2 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?
