A Study of ARRY-438162 (MEK162) in Patients With Advanced Cancer

September 14, 2020 updated by: Array Biopharma, now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer

This is a Phase 1 study during which patients with advanced solid tumors will receive investigational study drug ARRY-438162 (MEK162).

This study has 3 parts. In the first part, patients with advanced solid tumors will receive increasing doses of study drug in order to achieve the highest dose of the study drug possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. Approximately 30 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 1. (Active, not recruiting)

In the second part of the study, patients with advanced or metastatic biliary cancer will receive the best dose of study drug determined from the first part of the study and will be followed to see what side effects and effectiveness the study drug has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 25 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 2. (Active, not recruiting)

In the third part of the study, patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) will receive the best dose of the study drug determined from the first part of the study and will be followed to see what side effects and effectiveness the study drug has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 25 patients with KRAS mutation (Active, not recruiting) and 15 patients with BRAF mutation (Active, not recruiting) from the US will be enrolled in Part 3.

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

Description

Key Inclusion Criteria (for Part 3):

  • A histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma which is metastatic (measurable disease).
  • Documented KRAS- or BRAF- tumor mutation.
  • Previously treated with or unsuitable for treatment with 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), oxaliplatin, irinotecan and, if available, bevacizumab.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1 or 2.
  • Additional criteria exist.

Key Exclusion Criteria (for Part 3):

  • Uncontrolled or symptomatic brain metastases (if the patient has brain metastases and is on steroids, the steroid dose must have been stable for at least 30 days).
  • History of central serous retinopathy, retinopathy visible at baseline that would be considered a risk factor for central serous retinopathy or retinal vein occlusion.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure.
