What is being measured

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

  1. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-t) of Tepotinib

    Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero (= dosing time) to the last sampling time (tlast) at which the concentration is at or above the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), calculated using the mixed log linear trapezoidal rule (linear up/log down).

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post-dose

  2. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of Tepotinib

    AUC0-inf was calculated as AUC0-t + AUC from time tlast extrapolated to infinity (AUCextra). AUCextra represents the extrapolated part of AUC0-inf calculated by Clastpred/lambda z, where Clastpred was the predicted plasma concentration at the last sampling time point at which the measured plasma concentration was at or above the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) and lambda z was the apparent terminal rate constant determined from the terminal slope of the log-transformed plasma concentration curve.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post-dose

  3. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Tepotinib

    Cmax was obtained directly from the concentration versus time curve.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post-dose

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Time to Reach the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Tepotinib

    Tmax was obtained directly from the concentration versus time curve.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post-dose

  2. Terminal Half-Life (t1/2) of Tepotinib

    t1/2 was defined as the time taken for the plasma concentration or the amount of drug in the body to be reduced by half.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post-dose

  3. Apparent Volume of Distribution During Terminal Phase (Vz/f) for Tepotinib

    Vz/f is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired plasma concentration of a drug. Vz/f during the terminal phase was reported.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post-dose

  4. Apparent Total Body Clearance (CL/f) of Tepotinib

    CL/f following oral administration was calculated as Dose/AUC0-inf, where AUC0-inf calculated as AUC0-t + AUC from time tlast extrapolated to infinity (AUCextra). AUCextra represents the extrapolated part of AUC0-inf calculated by Clastpred/lambda z, where Clastpred was the predicted plasma concentration at the last sampling time point at which the measured plasma concentration was at or above the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) and lambda z was the apparent terminal rate constant determined from the terminal slope of the log-transformed plasma concentration curve.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post-dose

  5. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs, TEAEs Leading to Death, TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation

    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) 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. The term TEAE is defined as AEs starting or worsening after the first intake of the study drug. TEAEs included both Serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs.

    Measured: Baseline up to Day 59

  6. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline in Laboratory Parameters, 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings and Vital Signs

    Vital signs included oral body temperature, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate. The 12-lead ECGs were recorded after the participants have rested for at least 5 minutes in supine position. Laboratory parameters included hematology, biochemistry, urinalysis, and coagulation. Number of participants with clinically significant change from baseline in vital signs, ECG and laboratory parameters were reported. Clinical Significance was decided by the investigator.

    Measured: Baseline up to Day 59

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tepotinib 100 mg and Tepotinib 250 mg in people with Healthy, run by Merck Healthcare KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, an affiliate of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 8 Nov 2023. 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 Germany. 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 8 Nov 2023). 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?

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-t) of Tepotinib (time frame: Pre-dose, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours post-dose). The study lists 3 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 8 Nov 2023.
