Acral Lentiginous MelanomaPhase 2NCT00937937
Dinaciclib in Treating Patients With Stage IV Melanoma
A Phase 2 study testing Dinaciclib in people with Acral Lentiginous Melanoma and Cutaneous Nodular Melanoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 190 sites in United States.
Trial summary
This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well dinaciclib works in treating patients with stage IV melanoma. Dinaciclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Phase II Trial of SCH 727965 (NSC 747135) in Patients With Stage IV Melanoma
This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well dinaciclib works in treating patients with stage IV melanoma. Dinaciclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To assess the 1-year overall survival rate in patients with stage IV melanoma treated with dinaciclib.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To assess the 6-month progression-free survival rate in these patients. II. To evaluate the response rate (confirmed and unconfirmed complete and partial responses) in the subset of patients with measurable disease.
III. To assess the safety and tolerability of dinaciclib given to patients with stage IV melanoma.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive dinaciclib IV over 2 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for up to 3 years.

- Acral Lentiginous Melanoma, Cutaneous Nodular Melanoma, Lentigo Maligna Melanoma, Low-CSD Melanoma, Mucosal Melanoma, Recurrent Melanoma

Also called CDK Inhibitor SCH 727965, MK 7965, MK-7965, MK7965
Given IV
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Arm I | Experimental | Patients receive dinaciclib IV over 2 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Receives: Drug: Dinaciclib |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Overall Survival
From date of registration to date of death due to any cause. Patients last known to be alive are censored at date of last contact.
Measured: Weekly, up to 3 years
Secondary outcomes (3)
Progression-free Survival Assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST)
Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. The duration from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of progressive disease, symptomatic deterioration, or death dure to any cause.
Measured: Disease assessment was performed every 6 weeks, up to 3 years.
Response Rate (Confirmed and Unconfirmed Complete and Partial Responses) Assessed by RECIST
Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
Measured: Disease assessments for response were performed every 6 weeks, up to 3 years
Number of Patients With Gr 3 Through 5 Adverse Events That Are Related to Study Drugs
Adverse Events (AEs) are reported by CTCAE Version 3.0. Only adverse events that are possibly, probably or definitely related to study drug are reported. The outcome measure here is different from Serious Adverse Event, whose definition could be more strict and specific. The number of patients who suffers the certain adverse event listed here could be larger than the number listed in following serious adverse event.
Measured: Toxicity assessment was evaluated after each cycle (21 days), up to 3 years.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 190 sites in United States. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jul 2016). 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 (time frame: Weekly, up to 3 years). 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 NCT00937937, 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 14 Sep 2026.
