What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MK0683, vorinostatDrug

    Also called MK0683

    vorinostat 300 mg or 400 mg once daily consecutive days (14 days) followed by 11 days of rest in the first cycle or 7 days of rest in the second or later cycle.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With a Dose Limited Toxicity at First Cycle

    Dose Limited Toxicity = Drug-related side effects that are serious enough to prevent an increase in dose or level of that treatment.

    Measured: 25 Days (first cycle)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Area Under the Curve (AUC(0-24 hr)) at Day 4

    Area Under the Curve (AUC (0-24 hr)) = Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero to 24 hour.

    Measured: Day 4

  2. Area Under the Curve (AUC(0-24 hr)) at Day 5

    Area Under the Curve (AUC (0-24 hr)) = Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero to 24 hour.

    Measured: Day 5

  3. Maximum Concentration (Cmax) at Day 4

    Maximum Concentration (Cmax) = the maximum plasma concentration of the drug

    Measured: Day 4

  4. Maximum Concentration (Cmax) at Day 5

    Maximum Concentration (Cmax) = the maximum plasma concentration of the drug

    Measured: Day 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MK0683, vorinostat in people with Neoplasms, 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 2 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Apr 2015. 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 1 Jun 2009). 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 a Dose Limited Toxicity at First Cycle (time frame: 25 Days (first cycle)). 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 20 Apr 2015.
