What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To compare the efficacy of AZD6244 vs temozolomide in patients with unresectable AJCC stage 3 or 4 malignant melanoma by assessing progression free survival (PFS)

    Measured: From date of randomisation until 6 months after first dose or study withdrawal (whichever is the earliest)

  2. Time to death

    Measured: From date of randomisation until 6 months after first dose or to date of death (whichever is the earliest)

  3. Objective Response Rate

    Measured: RECIST data collected as per institutional standard practise

  4. Duration of response

    Measured: RECIST data collected as per institutional standard practise

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Assessment of the safety and tolerability of AZD6244

    Measured: Assessed at all visits

  2. Investigation of the pharmacokinetics of AZD6244

    Measured: Day 1 & 8 (for patients on AZD6244)

  3. Assessment of the efficacy of AZD6244 versus temozolomide in patients who are BRAF and BRAF and /or NRAS mutation positive

    Measured: From date of randomisation until 6 months after first dose or study withdrawal (whichever is the earliest)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AZD6244 and Temozolomide in people with Melanoma, run by AstraZeneca at 33 sites in 10 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 13 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 33 sites in United States, Brazil, Australia, France, United Kingdom and 5 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

To compare the efficacy of AZD6244 vs temozolomide in patients with unresectable AJCC stage 3 or 4 malignant melanoma by assessing progression free survival (PFS) (time frame: From date of randomisation until 6 months after first dose or study withdrawal (whichever is the earliest)). 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?
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 13 Aug 2014.
