What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Objective tumor response rate (either RECIST or WHO complete response, partial response or minor response) confirmed by CT and MRI as the preferred methods for tumor assessments and Chest x-ray is acceptable for pulmonary lesions

    (all patients were off study by June 2008)

    Time frame: Within 28 days prior to the start of treatment with tumor assessments reevaluated every 8 weeks (+/- 4 days)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Adverse Events assessed according to the NCI CTCAE (v 3.0) grading system

    (all patients were off study by June 2008)

    Time frame: Within 28 days prior to the start of treatment, and for 167 days

  2. Laboratory tests assessed according to the NCI CTCAE (v 3.0) grading system

    Time frame: Within 10 days prior to Cycle 1/1st infusion; within 48 hours of infusion (Cycle 1/Weeks 2/3/4 and Cycle 2+/Week3), or within 72 hours prior to infusion (Cycle 2+/Week 1)

  3. Vital signs

    (all patients were off study by June 2008)

    Time frame: Within 28 days prior to the start of treatment, Day1 of Weeks 1, 2, and 3 of Cycle 1 (4 weeks long), and prior to each 4-week cycle starting with Cycle 2, for 167 days

  4. Karnofsky Performance Status

    (all patients were off study by June 2008)

    Time frame: Within 28 days prior to the start of treatment, prior to each 4-week cycle starting with Cycle 2, for 167 days

  5. Ocular testing

    (all patients were off study by June 2008)

    Time frame: Within 28 days prior to the start of treatment, Cycle 1/Day 10 (3 days +/- 1 day following the 2nd infusion in the first cycle of therapy), prior to Cycle 2, if clinically indicated thereafter, for 167 days

  6. Kaplan-Meier estimate of time to progression

    (all patients were off study by June 2008)

    Time frame: Within 28 days prior to the start of treatment with tumor assessments reevaluated every 8 weeks (+/- 4 days)

  7. Time to progression on the patient's prior cytotoxic chemotherapy compared to the patient's time to progression on alvespimycin

    (all patients were off study by June 2008)

    Time frame: Within 28 days prior to the start of treatment with tumor assessments reevaluated every 8 weeks (+/- 4 days)

  8. Kaplan-Meier estimate of progression-free survival

    (all patients were off study by June 2008)

    Time frame: Within 28 days prior to the start of treatment with tumor assessments reevaluated every 8 weeks (+/- 4 days)

  9. Kaplan-Meier estimate of time to response

    (all patients were off study by June 2008)

    Time frame: Within 28 days prior to the start of treatment with tumor assessments reevaluated every 8 weeks (+/- 4 days)

  10. Kaplan-Meier estimate of duration of response

    (all patients were off study by June 2008)

    Time frame: Within 28 days prior to the start of treatment with tumor assessments reevaluated every 8 weeks (+/- 4 days)

  11. Kaplan-Meier estimate of time to treatment failure

    (all patients were off study by June 2008)

    Time frame: Within 28 days prior to the start of treatment with tumor assessments reevaluated every 8 weeks (+/- 4 days)

  12. Kaplan-Meier estimate of overall survival

    (all patients were off study by June 2008)

    Time frame: Within 28 days prior to the start of treatment with tumor assessments reevaluated every 8 weeks (+/- 4 days)

  13. Changes in tumor markers

    Time frame: Within 28 days prior to the start of treatment, Prior to each 4-week cycle starting with Cycle 2, for 167 days

  14. Histopathological and molecular profile of responding and non-responding patients using paraffin-embedded surgical specimens

    Time frame: Specimens were obtained within 28 days prior to the start of treatment
