Trial Outcomes & Findings for Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid in Advanced Solid Tumors (NCT NCT00106626)

NCT ID: NCT00106626

Last Updated: 2009-04-22

Results Overview

MTD was determined by the occurrence of DLTs during the first treatment cycle. DLT describes side effects of a drug or other treatment that are serious enough to prevent an increase in dose or level of that treatment. The dose level is equal to the MTD if \< 2 patients experience a DLT and is also the highest tolerated dose level in the cohort.

Participant Flow

First Patient In = 29-Aug-05. Last Patient Last Visit = 03-Dec-07. Multicenter (4 Outpatient Clinics) in US.

Post-group assignment information: For all cohorts doses were administered in repeated 21-day cycles. Determination of the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD), by using dose-escalating design and measured by Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) is a standard procedure in the development of chemotherapeutic combinations.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Cycle 1 (21 days)

Population: A total of 52 participants were enrolled in this study. Six were violations pts (1 in Cohort C Dose Level 1, 1 in Cohort C Dose Level 2, 3 in Cohort D Dose Level 1, and 1 in Cohort D Dose Level 2) and were replaced. None of the violations pts had any DLTs in the first cycle of the study.

MTD was determined by the occurrence of DLTs during the first treatment cycle. DLT describes side effects of a drug or other treatment that are serious enough to prevent an increase in dose or level of that treatment. The dose level is equal to the MTD if \< 2 patients experience a DLT and is also the highest tolerated dose level in the cohort.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Any time during 8 cycle treatment period through 30 days after.

Population: All participants. Treated Population includes all participants who received at least one dose and had efficacy measurements at baseline and at least one post baseline treatment.

Number of participants with disease progression (protocol-mandated reason for discontinuation). Disease progression was determined by the principle investigator.
