These include five functional scales, three symptom scales, six single items and a global health status/QoL scale. For the physical functioning scale, subjects self-rated levels of difficulty in doing strenuous activities, taking a walk, how much they needed to stay in bed or a chair, or needed help with eating, dressing, bathing, using the toilet. The physical functioning scale had 4 possible scores (1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much). Scores were averaged and transformed to 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better functioning. A positive change from baseline indicates improvement in physical functioning.

  30. Safety Run-in Part: Apparent Total Body Clearance (CL) of Berzosertib

    CL was a measure of the rate at which a drug was metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. CL was calculated as Dose/AUC0-inf, where AUC0-inf was estimated by determining the total area under the curve of the concentration versus time curve extrapolated to infinity. AUC0-inf was calculated as AUC0-t + Clast pred/Lambda Z, where Clast pred was the calculated plasma concentration at the last sampling time point at which the measured plasma concentration was at or above the lower limit of quantification (LLQ) and Lambda Z was the apparent terminal rate constant determined from the terminal slope of the log-transformed plasma concentration curve.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dose on Cycle 1 Day 2; Pre-dose, 1 and 1.5 hours after dose on Cycle 1 Day 5 (each cycle is of 21 days)

  32. Safety Run-in Part: Time to Reach the Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of Berzosertib

    Tmax was obtained directly from the plasma concentration versus time curve.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dose on Cycle 1 Day 2 (each cycle is of 21 days)

  33. Safety Run-in Part: Apparent Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of Berzosertib

    T1/2 was defined as the time required for the concentration or amount of drug in the body to be reduced by one-half. T1/2 was calculated by natural log 2 divided by Lambda z. Lambda z was determined from the terminal slope of the log-transformed plasma concentration curve using linear regression method.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dose on Cycle 1 Day 2 (each cycle is of 21 days)

  34. Safety Run-in Part: Last Sampling Time (Tlast) of Berzosertib

    tlast is defined as the last sampling time at which the concentration is at or above the lower limit of quantification.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dose on Cycle 1 Day 2 (each cycle is of 21 days)

  35. Safety Run-in Part: Apparent Volume of Distribution During Terminal Phase (Vz) of Berzosertib

    Vz: the distribution of a study drug between plasma and the rest of the body after oral dosing. For single dose Vz = Dose/(AUC0-inf*Lambda Z), where AUC0-inf = (AUC0-t + Clast pred/Lambda Z). Clastpred was the calculated plasma concentration at the last sampling time point at which the measured plasma concentration was at or above the LLOQ and Lambda Z = the apparent terminal rate constant determined from the terminal slope of the log-transformed plasma concentration curve.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dose on Cycle 1 Day 2 (each cycle is of 21 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Berzosertib and Topotecan in people with Small-cell Lung Cancer, run by EMD Serono Research & Development Institute, Inc. at 51 sites in 7 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 9 inclusion and 5 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 26 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 51 sites in United States, China, Japan, Spain, France and 2 more countries. 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 26 Sep 2024). 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?

Main Part: Objective Response Rate According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 as Assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC) (time frame: Time from first administration of study treatment up to 27.7 months). The study lists 6 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 26 Sep 2024.
