What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) for Dose level 1200 mg and 2000 mg

    DLT is graded using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) Version 4.03. The DLT observation period may be increased if deemed appropriate by Dose Escalation and Safety Committee.

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  2. Number of participants with DLT for Dose level 3000 mg

    DLT is graded using NCI-CTCAE Version 4.03. The DLT observation period may be increased if deemed appropriate by Dose Escalation and Safety Committee.

    Measured: Up to 21 days

  3. Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered an investigational product (IP) and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of IP whether or not considered related to the IP.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after the final IP administration or initiation of a new anticancer treatment, whichever comes first (a maximum of 108 weeks)

  4. Number of participants with immune-related AEs (irAEs)

    Number of participants with potentially clinically significant irAEs. irAEs observed with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) include rash, oral mucositis, dry mouth, colitis/diarrhea, hepatitis, pneumonitis and endocrinopathies (hypophysitis, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, adrenal insufficiency and Type 1 diabetes mellitus).

    Measured: Up to 30 days after the final IP administration or initiation of a new anticancer treatment, whichever comes first (a maximum of 108 weeks)

  5. Number of participants with infusion-related reactions (IRRs)

    Number of participants with potentially clinically significant IRRs. The majority of IRRs to monoclonal antibodies represent "standard" infusion reactions, and the most common manifestations of these standard infusion reactions include: fever and/or shaking/chills; flushing and/or itching; changes in heart rate and blood pressure; shortness of breath or chest discomfort; pain in back or abdomen; nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea and skin rash (various types). Fever and muscle pain suggest that the reaction is a standard infusion reaction.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after the final IP administration or initiation of a new anticancer treatment, whichever comes first (a maximum of 108 weeks)

  6. Number of participants with serious AEs (SAEs)

    Adverse event (AE) is considered "serious" if the investigator or sponsor view any of the following outcomes: Death, life-threatening, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly or birth defect, hospitalization, or medically important event.

    Measured: Up to 90 days after the final IP administration or initiation of a new anticancer treatment, whichever comes first (a maximum of 116 weeks)

  7. Number of participants with complete blood count (CBC) value abnormalities and/or AEs

    Number of participants with potentially clinically significant CBC values.

    Number of participants with potentially clinically significant aPTT values.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after the final IP administration or initiation of a new anticancer treatment, whichever comes first (a maximum of 108 weeks)

  12. Number of participants with thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) value abnormalities and/or AEs

    Number of participants with potentially clinically significant TSH values.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after the final IP administration or initiation of a new anticancer treatment, whichever comes first (a maximum of 108 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ASP1948 in people with Locally Advanced (Unresectable) or Metastatic Solid Tumor Malignancies, run by Astellas Pharma Inc at 1 site in Japan.

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 17 inclusion and 26 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 1 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Number of participants with Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) for Dose level 1200 mg and 2000 mg (time frame: Up to 28 days). The study lists 28 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 1 Nov 2024.
