Study of Safety and Pharmacokinetics of MK-8242 in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors (P07650)

July 26, 2018 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

A Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamics of MK-8242 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This study is being done to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic profile of MK-8242 and its active metabolite (M16) in participants with advanced solid tumors. In Part 1 of the study, the study drug dose will be escalated to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). In Part 2 of the study, the MTD will be confirmed and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RPTD) established; the effect of MK-8242 on liposarcoma and other tumor types will also be evaluated.

Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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

Participants are considered to have completed the study after Cycle 12. Amendment 4 (14 April 2015) was done to allow participants on active treatment at the time the study was closed to enrollment to continue study treatment beyond Cycle 12 if deriving clinical benefit, at the Investigator's discretion.

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.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Time Frame: Cycle 1 (21 days)
DLT was defined as: any drug-related hematologic toxicity ≥ Grade 3 lasting ≥1 week, ≥ Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding, ≥ Grade 3 neutropenia with infection OR non-hematologic DLTs that were any Grade 3, 4, or 5 toxicity with the following exceptions/clarifications: 1) Grade 3 nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration were excluded from the determination of DLT if, in the opinion of the investigator and sponsor, they occurred in a setting of inadequate treatment, 2) Grade 3 nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration were each considered a DLT if they persisted despite 72 hours of maximal supportive care measures or 3) Any abnormal non-hematological laboratory value ≥ Grade 3 (that is not attributable to any other causes) was considered a DLT only if medical intervention was required to treat the participant, the abnormality led to hospitalization, or the abnormality persisted for ≥1 week.
Cycle 1 (21 days)

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. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
