February 8, 2019 updated by: Daiichi Sankyo, Inc.

A PHASE 1 SINGLE-BLIND, SINGLE-SEQUENCE STUDY ASSESSING THE EFFECT OF TIVANTINIB ON THE QTC INTERVAL IN CANCER SUBJECTS

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of tivantinib on the QTc interval in patients with 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

The study is designed to estimate the maximum change in QTcF (change from baseline) between placebo and multiple-dose tivantinib. A tivantinib oral dose of 360 mg BID has been selected for this study because this is the highest dose currently being evaluated in clinical studies.

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.

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
The time-matched difference in the QTcF interval at each timepoint after both single and multiple doses of tivantinib compared with placebo
Time Frame: Baseline and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours post dose on Days 1, 2, and 5 (+3 days)
Triplicate ECG measurements of the QTc interval will be taken at Screening (4 sets each 1 hour apart) and pre-dose and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours post dose on Days 1, 2, and 5 (+3 days)
Baseline and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours post dose on Days 1, 2, and 5 (+3 days)

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Estimated change in baseline adjusted QT, corrected QT interval (QTcB), individually corrected QT interval (QTcI) (if possible), heart rate, PR, QRS, & RR intervals at timepoints after both single and multiple doses of tivantinib compared with placebo
Time Frame: Baseline and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours post dose on Days 1, 2, and 5 (+3 days)
Triplicate ECG measurements of the QTc interval will be taken at Screening (4 sets each 1 hour apart) and pre-dose and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours post dose on Days 1, 2, and 5 (+3 days)

Time Frame: Baseline and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours post dose on Days 1, 2, and 5 (+3 days)
Blood samples for PK analysis will be obtained within 15 minutes following each pre-specified ECG measurement
Baseline and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours post dose on Days 1, 2, and 5 (+3 days)
Explore the tivantinib plasma concentration-QTc interval relationship
Time Frame: Baseline and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours post dose on Days 1, 2, and 5 (+3 days)
Triplicate ECG measurements of the QTc interval will be taken at Screening (4 sets each 1 hour apart) and pre-dose and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours post dose on Days 1, 2, and 5 (+3 days). Blood samples for PK analysis will be obtained within 15 minutes following each pre-specified ECG measurement. The relationship between plasma concentrations of tivantinib and the change from baseline in QTc will be quantified using a linear random coefficient regression model approach.
