Trial Outcomes & Findings for Riluzole in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Melanoma That Cannot Be Removed by Surgery (NCT NCT00866840)

NCT ID: NCT00866840

Last Updated: 2024-01-19

Results Overview

Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by CT or MRI imaging: Complete response (CR) - disappearance of all target lesions; Partial response (PR) - \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD) - At least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; or Stable Disease (SD) - neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD.
