What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Overall Survival (OS)
OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of final analysis were censored at the date of the last follow up. The final analysis for OS was planned and performed at the time of the protocol pre-specified final statistical analysis with a data cut-off of 15-July-2011. OS analysis is reported here for all randomized participants.
Measured: Up to ~72 months (through pre-specified final statistical analysis cut-off date of 15-July-2011)
Number of Participants Who Experienced Adverse Events (AEs) Characterized as Grade 3 or Grade 4 According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)
An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening of a pre-existing condition which is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product is also an AE. Reporting of AEs per NCI CTCAE is based on 5 grades of severity; Grade 1 (mild; no treatment needed), Grade 2 (moderate; minimal treatment needed), Grade 3 (severe, not life threatening; hospitalization needed), Grade 4 (life threatening; urgent treatment needed) and Grade 5 (death).The final analysis for Grade 3 or 4 AEs was planned and performed at the time of the protocol pre-specified final statistical analysis with a data cut-off of 15-July-2011. Per protocol number of participants who experienced Grade 3/4 AEs per NCI CTCAE is reported here for all randomized participants who received ≥1 dose of study treatment.
Measured: Up to ~72 months (through pre-specified final statistical analysis cut-off date of 15-July-2011)
Number of Participants Who Experienced an AE
An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product whether or not considered related to the use of the product.

The final analysis for participants who experienced an AE was planned and performed at the time of the protocol pre-specified final statistical analysis with a data cut-off of 15-July-2011. Per protocol number of participants who experienced an AE is reported here for all randomized participants who received ≥1 dose of study treatment.
Measured: Up to ~72 months (through pre-specified final statistical analysis cut-off date of 15-July-2011)
Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an AE
An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening of a pre-existing condition which is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product is also an AE. The final analysis for participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE was planned and performed at the time of the protocol pre-specified final statistical analysis with a data cut-off of 15-July-2011. Per protocol number of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE is reported here for all randomized participants who received ≥1 dose of study treatment. As specified by the protocol, participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE remained on study until investigator notification to discontinue.
Measured: Up to ~72 months (through pre-specified final statistical analysis cut-off date of 15-July-2011)
Secondary outcomes (6)
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) per meso-modified-Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (Meso-modified RECIST) based on independent radiology review or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Meso-modified RECIST was created and validated for disease measurement in pleural mesothelioma. Per meso-modified RECIST, PD was defined as ≥20% increase in the total tumor measurement over the nadir measurement or the appearance of ≥1 new lesions. The final analysis for PFS per Meso-modified RECIST by independent radiology review was planned and performed at the time of the protocol pre-specified final statistical analysis with a data cut-off of 15-July-2011. PFS analysis per Meso-modified RECIST by independent radiology review is reported here for all randomized participants.
Measured: Up to ~72 months (through pre-specified final statistical analysis cut-off date of 15-July-2011)
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population who had a complete response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions with no evidence of tumor elsewhere) or a partial response (PR: ≥30% reduction in the total tumor measurement) per Meso-modified RECIST based on independent radiology review. Meso-modified RECIST was created and validated for disease measurement in pleural mesothelioma. The final analysis for ORR per Meso-modified RECIST by independent radiology review was planned and performed at the time of the protocol pre-specified final statistical analysis with a data cut-off of 15-July-2011. Per protocol percentage of participants who had a CR or a PR per Meso-modified RECIST by independent radiology review is reported here as the ORR for all randomized participants who had valid baseline data for ORR analysis available.
Measured: Up to ~72 months (through pre-specified final statistical analysis cut-off date of 15-July-2011)
Percent Change From Baseline in Lung Cancer Symptom Scale, Modified for Mesothelioma (LCSS-Meso) Dyspnea Score at Week 12
LCSS-Meso provides participant-reported outcome measures of symptom burden and quality of life. LCSS-Meso includes the disease-related item dyspnea or shortness of breath. The LCSS-Meso item dyspnea is measured on a visual analog scale (VAS) using 100 mm and assigned an individual score based on symptom intensity. Dyspnea VAS score ranges from 0 mm (lowest; no dyspnea) to 100 mm (highest; worst dyspnea). Higher scores indicate dyspnea worsening. Baseline measurement was taken before treatment initiation. Per protocol percent change in the LCSS-Meso dyspnea score from baseline to Week 12 post treatment initiation (percent change calculated: [Week 12 - Baseline]/Baseline*100)] is reported here for all randomized participants who had a valid baseline and ≥1 post-baseline value for the LCSS-Meso dyspnea score available.
Measured: Baseline, Week 12
Percentage of Participants With ≥50% Change Together With a >10 mm Change From Baseline in the LCSS-Meso Dyspnea Score at Week 12

Per protocol percentage of participants with ≥50% change (percent change calculated: [Week 12 - Baseline]/Baseline*100) and >10 mm absolute change in LCSS-Meso dyspnea score from baseline to Week 12 post treatment initiation is reported here for all randomized participants who had a valid baseline and ≥1 post-baseline value for the LCSS-Meso dyspnea score available.
Measured: Baseline, Week 12
Percent Change From Baseline in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Week 12
Pulmonary function test was conducted using a spirometer for assessment of FVC. FVC is the volume of air forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. Baseline measurement was taken before treatment initiation. Per protocol percent change in FVC from baseline to Week 12 post treatment initiation (percent change calculated: [Week 12 - Baseline]/Baseline*100)] is reported here for all randomized participants who had a valid baseline and ≥1 post-baseline value for FVC available.
Measured: Baseline, Week 12
Percentage of Participants With ≥10% Change From Baseline in FVC at Week 12
Pulmonary function test was conducted using a spirometer for assessment of FVC. FVC is the volume of air forcibly exhaled from the lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. Baseline measurement was taken before treatment initiation. Per protocol percentage of participants with ≥10% change (percent change calculated: [Week 12 - Baseline]/Baseline*100) in FVC from baseline to Week 12 post treatment initiation is reported here for all randomized participants who had a valid baseline and ≥1 post-baseline value for FVC.
Measured: Baseline, Week 12

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Vorinostat in people with Mesothelioma and Lung Cancer, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.
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 6 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 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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 Oct 2020). 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?
Overall Survival (OS) (time frame: Up to ~72 months (through pre-specified final statistical analysis cut-off date of 15-July-2011)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00128102, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 Oct 2020.
