What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) for KPT-9274

    The MTD was defined as the highest dose at which less than or equal to (<=) 1 participant experienced a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) in Cycle 1. A DLT was defined as an adverse event (AE) or abnormal laboratory value occurring within the first 28 days of treatment of KPT-9274, excluding those clearly caused by underlying disease, disease progression, or external factors.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to 44 weeks

  2. Number of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) Experienced by Participants

    A DLT was defined as an AE or abnormal laboratory value occurring within the first 28 days of KPT-9274 treatment, excluding those clearly caused by underlying disease, disease progression, or extraneous causes, and meets any of the criteria for defining dose limiting toxicities.

    Measured: At Cycle 1 only (28-day cycle)

  3. Number of Participants With Adverse Event (AE) of Severity Grade >= 3 or 4, Serious AEs, and AEs Leading to Treatment Discontinuation

    The AE severity was graded on a scale from 1 to 4 using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 4.03; any events not specifically listed in the scale were defined as: Grade 1 is mild; Grade 2 is moderate; Grade 3 is severe or medically significant; Grade 4 is life-threatening. An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose met one, more of the following criteria: results in death, life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent, significant disability/incapacity, a congenital abnormality/birth defect, an important medical event. The AE leading to treatment discontinuation in the study.

    Measured: From start of study drug administration up to 49 weeks

  4. Percentage of Participants With Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    The ORR was defined as percentage of participants who had a response of partial response (PR) or complete response (CR). The PR was achieved when a participant had at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. The CR was achieved in a participant when all target lesions disappeared. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non target) must have reduction in the short axis to <10 millimeter (mm).

    Measured: From date of randomization up to 44 weeks

  5. Percentage of Participants With Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    The DCR was defined as percentage of participants who have a response of CR, PR, and stable disease (SD) >= 16 weeks, DCR = CR + PR+ SD. The PR was achieved when a participant had at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. The CR was achieved in a participant when all target lesions disappeared. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in the short axis to <10mm. The SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD).

    Measured: From date of the first study treatment up to 44 weeks

  6. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    The PFS was defined as the duration of time from date of the first study treatment until the first date that PD is objectively documented or death due to any cause. The PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of measured lesions taking as references the smallest sum of diameters recorded since the treatment started. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5mm. Appearance of one or more new lesions will also constitute PD.

    Measured: From the date of first study treatment until the first date of PD, or death due (up to 44 weeks)

  7. Overall Survival (OS)

    The OS was defined as the duration of time from date of the first study treatment until death from any cause.

    Measured: From date of the first study treatment until death (up to 44 weeks)

  8. Time to Progression (TTP)

    The TTP was defined as the duration of time from date of the first study treatment until the first date that PD was objectively documented or death due to PD.

    Measured: From date of the first study treatment until the first date of PD or death (up to 44 weeks)

  9. Duration of Response (DOR)

    The DOR was defined as the duration of time from the first meeting CR or PR measurement criteria (whichever occurs first) until the first date diseases progression.

    Measured: Up to 44 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) in Participants Who Received KPT-9274

    Cmax achieved by the KPT-9274 after the first dose administrations.

    Measured: Cycle 1 and 2: Pre-dose, 3, 6, 8, 24, and 48 hours post-dose (each cycle =28 days)

  2. Time-to-peak Plasma Concentration (Tmax) in Participants Who Received KPT-9274

    Time taken by KPT-9274 to achieve maximum plasma concentration after the first dose administration.

    Measured: Cycle 1 and 2: Pre-dose, 3, 6, 8, 24, and 48 hours post-dose (each cycle =28 days)

  3. Terminal Half-life (T1/2) in Participants Who Received KPT-9274

    The T1/2 was defied as the time it takes for the concentration of KPT-9274 in the plasma to be reduced by 50%.

    Measured: Cycle 1 and 2: Pre-dose, 3, 6, 8, 24, and 48 hours post-dose (each cycle =28 days)

  4. Volume of Distribution (Vd/F) in Participants Who Received KPT-9274

    The Vd/F was defined as MRT*CL/F, where MRT is the mean residence time (calculated as AUMC[0-tau]/AUC[0-tau], where AUMC[0-tau] is the area under the first moment curve determined as the area under the concentration*time versus time curve).

    Measured: Cycle 1 and 2: Pre-dose, 3, 6, 8, 24, and 48 hours post-dose (each cycle =28 days)

  5. Apparent Plasma Clearance (CL/F) in Participants Who Received KPT-9274

    The CL/F was calculated as the KPT-9274 dose administered divided by the area-under-the-curve of KPT-9274 plasma concentration versus (vs) time.

    Measured: Cycle 1 and 2: Pre-dose, 3, 6, 8, 24, and 48 hours post-dose (each cycle =28 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing KPT-9274, Niacin ER and Nivolumab in people with Solid Tumors and NHL, run by Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc at 8 sites in 2 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 11 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 25 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States, Canada. 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 25 Nov 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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) for KPT-9274 (time frame: From start of study drug administration up to 44 weeks). The study lists 9 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 NCT02702492, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 25 Nov 2024.
