What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT) Due to Vorinostat Administered in Combination With Standard Dose of Gemcitabine Plus Either Cisplatin or Carboplatin

    DLT = any Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Grade 3/4 drug related non-hematologic toxicity EXCEPT Grade 3 nausea/vomiting responsive to therapy, Grade 3 Fatigue responsive to management, transient electrolyte disorders that were corrected, any Grade 4 drug related hematologic toxicity EXCEPT lymphopenia/neutropenia, unless the neutropenia was febrile and/or was an infection requiring treatment, OR Any Grade 4 neutropenia lasting >=7 days, failure of absolute neutrophil count or platelets to recover, or any drug-related AE that led to a dose reduction of >=1 study drugs.

    Measured: every 21 days (every cycle), up to 126 days (6 cycles)

  2. Maximum Tolerated Dose of Vorinostat Administered in Combination With Standard Doses of Gemcitabine Plus Either Cisplatin or Carboplatin in Patients With Advanced Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Who Have Not Received Chemotherapy for Advanced Disease

    Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was defined as the highest dose level in which fewer than 2 patients among the first 6 enrolled experience a DLT (as defined in Outcome Measure 1) during the first cycle of treatment.

    The MTD was 400 mg for up to 10 days in 21-day cycles.

    Measured: every 21 days (every cycle), up to 126 days (6 cycles)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants With Clinical Adverse Experiences (Safety and Tolerability)

    An adverse experience (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 (any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which was temporally associated with the use of the sponsor's product, was also an adverse experience.

    The AEs could have been any grade from 1 to 5 in severity (mild, moderate, severe, life-threatening, death, respectively).

    Measured: every 21 days (every cycle), up to 126 days (6 cycles)

  2. Number of Participants With Laboratory Adverse Experiences (Safety and Tolerability)

    An adverse experience 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 (any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which was temporally associated with the use of the sponsor's product, was also an adverse experience.

    The AEs could have been any grade from 1 to 5 in severity (mild, moderate, severe, life-threatening, death, respectively).

    Measured: every 21 days (every cycle), up to 126 days (6 cycles)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing vorinostat, Gemcitabine and Platinum-based agent in people with Non-Small Cell 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 4 Feb 2016. 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 2 Aug 2011). 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?

Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT) Due to Vorinostat Administered in Combination With Standard Dose of Gemcitabine Plus Either Cisplatin or Carboplatin (time frame: every 21 days (every cycle), up to 126 days (6 cycles)). The study lists 2 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 4 Feb 2016.
