Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Evaluate the Effect of Cetuximab on Corrected QT (QTc) Interval Changes in Patients With Advanced Malignancies From Solid Tumors (NCT NCT00698841)

NCT ID: NCT00698841

Last Updated: 2015-12-24

Results Overview

12-Lead continuous digital electrocardiogram (ECG) data were collected at preselected time points at baseline visit and on Days 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29. The QT interval is the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the cardiac electrical cycle. The corrected QTc is the QT interval corrected for heart rate. Prolongation of the QTc was identified as clinically meaningful at the investigator's discretion.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Day 1, and then weekly to end of Cycle 1 (28 days)

Population: Those who met all study criteria and did not require interrupted cetuximab infusion on Day (D)1 or 22; miss an ECG timepoint at baseline, D1, or D22; stop/modify dose of a scheduled drug that prolongs QT/QTc interval, receive other cancer therapy, begin a prohibited drug, or require cetuximab dose reduction before D29; withdraw consent before D23.

12-Lead continuous digital electrocardiogram (ECG) data were collected at preselected time points at baseline visit and on Days 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29. The QT interval is the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the cardiac electrical cycle. The corrected QTc is the QT interval corrected for heart rate.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Predose Day 1 (Baseline) to end of Cycle 1 (28 days)

Population: Those who met all study criteria and did not require interrupted cetuximab infusion on Day (D)1 or 22; miss an ECG timepoint at baseline, D1, or D22; stop/modify dose of a scheduled drug that prolongs QT/QTc interval, receive other cancer therapy, begin a prohibited drug, or require cetuximab dose reduction before D29; withdraw consent before D23.

The QT interval is the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the cardiac electrical cycle. The QTc is the QT interval corrected for heart rate. The QTcF=QT/RR\^1/3, where RR=RR interval in seconds. Baseline=predose. Mean change in QTc interval from baseline to time t=QTc interval at time t minus QTc interval at baseline.

12-Lead continuous digital ECG data were collected at preselected time points at baseline visit and on Days 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29. The PR interval is the time from the onset of the P wave to the beginning of the QRS complex. The QRS interval=deflections in the ECG, comprising Q, R, and S waves, that represent depolarization of the ventricles. Clinically significant was determined at the investigator's discretion.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At screening, weekly prior to start of cetuximab infusion, at end of Cycle 1 (28 days), and at 30-day follow-up

Population: All participants who received at least 1 dose of cetuximab.

BL=baseline; OS=on-study; LLN=lower level of normal. Laboratory values assessed using CTC for AEs, Version 3.0. Hemoglobin (g/dL) Grade 1:\<LLN to 10.0, Grade 2:\<10.0 to 8.0, Grade 3:\<8.0 to 6.5, Grade 4:\<6.5. Platelets Grade 1:LLN to 75.0\*10\^9/L, Grade 2:\<75.0 to 50.0\*10\^9/L, Grade 3:\<50.0 to 25.0\*10\^9/L, Grade 4:\<25.0 to 10\^9/L. White blood cells Grade 1:\<LLN to 3.0\*10\^9/L, Grade 2:\<3.0 to 2.0\*10\^9/L, Grade 3:\<2.0 to 1.0\*10\^9/L, Grade 4:\<1.0\*10\^9/L. Neutrophils Grade 1:\<LLN to 1.5\*10\^9/L, Grade 2:\<1.5 to 1.0\*10\^9/L, Grade 3:\<1.0 to 0.5\*10\^9/L, Grade 4:\<0.5\*10\^9/L.
