A Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study of ARQ 197 Given Twice Daily Continuously in Adult Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This is an open label, single arm, dose escalation study of ARQ 197 in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Patients will take ARQ 197 orally twice daily continuously at dose levels specified for their respective dose cohorts. The ARQ 197 starting dose will be a total daily dose of 200 mg (100 mg bid). ARQ 197 treatment will be continued until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or another discontinuation criterion is met. In the case of toxicity, dose adjustment is permitted. A treatment cycle is designed as four weeks (28 days) and will be repeated without therapy interruption.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Safety, tolerability
Time Frame: ARQ 197 treatment will be continued until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or another discontinuation criterion is met
ARQ 197 treatment will be continued until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or another discontinuation criterion is met

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

To evaluate pharmacodynamics of phosphorylated c-Met, total c-Met, apoptosis marker (TUNEL) and phosphorylated FAK in tumor tissue correlated with administration of ARQ 197.
Time Frame: ARQ 197 treatment will be continued until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or another discontinuation criterion is met
ARQ 197 treatment will be continued until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or another discontinuation criterion is met
To assess the preliminary anti-tumor activity of ARQ 197.
Time Frame: ARQ 197 treatment will be continued until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or another discontinuation criterion is met
ARQ 197 treatment will be continued until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or another discontinuation criterion is met
