What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence rate of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) of LGH447 monotherapy arm in patients with AML or MDS and of LGH447 + midostaurin in patients with AML

    Frequency and characteristics of dose limiting toxicities

    Measured: 28 days post study treatment

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of participants with the type, frequency, and severity of adverse events (AEs) as a measure of safety and tolerability of the LGH447 monotherapy arm in patients with AML or MDS and of the LGH447 + midostaurin treatment arm in patients with AML

    Includes changes in hematology and blood chemistry values, assessments of physical examinations, vital signs, and electrocardiograms (ECGs)

    Measured: weekly to bi-weekly up to 1.5 years

  2. PK parameters of the LGH447 monotherapy arm in patients with AML or MDS and of the LGH447 + midostaurin treatment arm in patients with AML

    LGH447 and midostaurin plasma concentrations and basic PK parameters

    Measured: days 1, 2, 15, 16, 29, 30, 44, 57, and approximately monthly through Cycle 3

  3. Changes between pre- and post-treatment levels of pS6RP and p4EBP1 in bone marrow aspirates and p4EBP1 in peripheral blood of the LGH447 monotherapy arm in patients with AML or MDS and of the LGH447 + midostaurin treatment arm in patients with AML

    Assess pharmacodynamic effects of LGH447

    Measured: screening, days 1 and 29 up to 1.5 years

  4. Anti-tumor activity in AML or high risk MDS associated wtih LGH447

    To assess any preliminary anti-tumor activity in AML or high risk MDS associated with LGH447

    Measured: Day 29 up to 1.5 years

  5. Anti-tumor activity in AML or high risk MDS associated wtih LGH447 in combination with midostaurin

    To assess any preliminary anti-tumor activity in AML or high risk MDS associated with LGH447 in combination with midostaurin

    Measured: Day 29 up to 1.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing LGH447 and LGH447 + midostaurin in people with AML and High Risk MDS, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 9 sites in 7 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 16 inclusion and 12 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 17 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Italy, United States, Australia, France, Germany and 2 more countries. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Incidence rate of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) of LGH447 monotherapy arm in patients with AML or MDS and of LGH447 + midostaurin in patients with AML (time frame: 28 days post study treatment). 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 17 Dec 2020.
