What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (≥10% Overall) in Participants Receiving Milademetan

    A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was defined as an adverse event (AE) that emerged during the treatment period (from first dose date until 30 days after the last dosing date), having been absent at pretreatment; or reemerged during treatment, having been present at baseline, but stopped prior to treatment; or worsened in severity after starting treatment relative to the pretreatment state, when the AE was continuous.

    Measured: Screening until end of treatment visit, up to approximately 7 years 2 months

  2. Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities In Participants Receiving Milademetan by Preferred Term and Worst Grade by NCI CTCAE

    A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as any treatment-emergent AE (TEAE) not attributable to the participant's disease or a disease-related processes that occurred during the observation period (Cycle 1) in each dose-level cohort and was Grade 3 or higher according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 4.0, with a few exceptions.

    Measured: Cycle 1, Day 1 to Day 28 (each cycle, 28 days)

  3. Number of Participants With Melanoma and Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma Who Achieved Objective Response

    Tumor response was assessed using RECIST Version 1.1 (in solid tumor participants with measurable disease) or treatment response using the revised International Working Group criteria 7 (in participants with lymphoma). For RECIST, complete response (CR) was defined as a disappearance of all target lesions, partial response (PR) was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, and stable disease (SD) was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD; at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. Objective response rate (ORR) was the sum of CR and PR rates.

    Measured: Screening up to Cycle 3 and beyond, Day 1 (each cycle, 28 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Milademetan in people with Advanced Solid Tumor and Lymphoma, run by Daiichi Sankyo at 5 sites 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 26 inclusion and 17 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 27 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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 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 18 Jul 2024). 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 Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (≥10% Overall) in Participants Receiving Milademetan (time frame: Screening until end of treatment visit, up to approximately 7 years 2 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01877382, 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 27 Mar 2025.
