About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-Label, Multicenter, 3-Period, Fixed-Sequence Study To Investigate The Effect Of Vemurafenib On The Pharmacokinetics Of A Single Dose Of Digoxin In Patients With BRAFV600 Mutation-Positive Metastatic Malignancy

This open-label, multi-center, three-period, one sequence study will investigate the effect of vemurafenib on the pharmacokinetics of digoxin in patients with unresectable BRAFV600-mutation positive metastatic melanoma or other malignant tumor type that harbors a V600-activating mutation of BRAF without acceptable standard treatment options. Patients will receive multiple doses of vemurafenib in Periods B and C and a single dose of digoxin in Periods A and C. Eligible patients will have the option to continue treatment with vemurafenib as part of an extension study (NCT01739764). The anticipated time on study treatment is approximately 36 days.

Being tested

  8. Apparent Clearance (CL/F) of Digoxin

    Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Clearance was estimated from population PK modeling. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.

    Measured: Hour [H] 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10-12 (Day [D] 1), 24, 30-32 (D2), 48 (D3), 72 (D4), 96 (D5), 168 (D8) post-digoxin dose; H0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 10-12H (D29), 24, 30-32 (D30), 48 (D31), 72 (D32), 96 (D33), 168 (D36) post digoxin dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Digoxin and Vemurafenib in people with Malignant Melanoma, Neoplasms, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 13 sites in 5 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 8 inclusion and 11 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 23 Sep 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Belarus, Israel, Russia, South Korea, South Africa. 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 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 10 Aug 2015). 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?

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve From Time Zero to Last Measurable Concentration (AUClast) of Digoxin (time frame: Hour [H] 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10-12 (Day [D] 1), 24, 30-32 (D2), 48 (D3), 72 (D4), 96 (D5), 168 (D8) post-digoxin dose; H0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 10-12H (D29), 24, 30-32 (D30), 48 (D31), 72 (D32), 96 (D33), 168 (D36) post digoxin dose). The study lists 8 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 23 Sep 2015.
