What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of Clinical Activity by the Objective Response Rate (ORR; Complete Response [CR] and Partial Response [PR]) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1

    To determine ORR of ADU-S100 in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). ORR is defined as the percentage of subjects with evidence of a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 and as assessed by the investigator.

    Measured: Up to 25 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ADU-S100 in people with Metastatic Head and Neck Cancer and Recurrent Head and Neck Cancer, run by Chinook Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly Aduro) at 17 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 3 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jan 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. 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 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 3 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?

Evaluation of Clinical Activity by the Objective Response Rate (ORR; Complete Response [CR] and Partial Response [PR]) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 (time frame: Up to 25 months). 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 NCT03937141, 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 3 Jan 2022.
