About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2 Study of SCH727965 in Patients With Malignant Melanoma

This is a phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of dinaciclib and to see how well it works in treating patients with advanced 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:

  1. To determine the recommended phase 2 dose of SCH727965 administered as a 4-hour infusion every other week in patients with advanced malignant melanoma. (Phase I) II. To determine the 1-year overall survival of patients with malignant melanoma treated with SCH727965 at the dose and schedule derived in the phase 1 part of the study. (Phase II)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To characterize the safety profile and toxicities of SCH727965 administered as a 4-hour infusion every other week.

II. To determine the pharmacokinetics of SCH727965 administered as a 4-hour infusion every other week.

III. To determine the proportion of patients with malignant melanoma who are alive without progression of disease 6 months after beginning treatment with SCH727965 at the dose and schedule derived in the phase 1 part of the study.

IV. To determine the objective response rate to SCH727965 of patients with malignant melanoma enrolled to part 2 of the study.

  1. To document cdk2, combined cdk2/1 and cdk9 inhibition in surrogate tissues and tumor.

VI. To correlate the degree of change of pharmacodynamic parameters in post-treatment compared to pre-treatment samples with clinical outcome.

VII. To correlate the degree of change of parameters defining cdk2, cdk2/1 and cdk9 inhibition with pharmacokinetic parameters.

VIII. To correlate pre-treatment cdk2 levels with the degree of change of parameters measuring cdk2 inhibition.

IX. To correlate pre-treatment cdk2 levels with clinical outcome. X. To correlate tumor p53 status with clinical outcome.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I dose-escalation study followed by a phase II study.

Patients receive dinaciclib IV over 4 hours on day 1. Courses repeat every 14 days in the absence of disease progression and unacceptable toxicity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Recommended Phase-2 Dose of SCH727965

    Due to difficult accrual to the trial, enrollment was ended early without determination of an MTD.

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Percentage of Patients Alive (Phase II)

    Due to difficult accrual to the trial, enrollment was ended early without entering into Phase II

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Progression-free Survival

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing dinaciclib, pharmacological study and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Stage IIIB Melanoma and Stage IIIC Melanoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.

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 12 inclusion and 8 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 4 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 combined 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.

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 3 Aug 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?

Recommended Phase-2 Dose of SCH727965 (time frame: 14 days). 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 Apr 2017.
