Study summary

The main purpose of this study is to test the experimental drug, MSC2015103B at different dose levels and on different treatment schedules, to see whether it is safe and can be tolerated when given to subjects once a day one day per week over a 21-day period or once a day three times per week over a 21-day period. The investigators would also like to find out how MSC2015103B is broken down by the body.

Additional purposes of the trial are to assess side effects of MSC2015103B and to find out whether MSC2015103B has anti-cancer effects. In addition, the investigators would like to explore pharmacokinetics.

SecondaryApparent Oral Clearance of the Drug From Plasma (CL/f)

SecondaryApparent Volume of Distribution Associated to the Terminal Phase (Vz/f)

Volume of distribution was defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired serum concentration of a drug. Apparent volume of distribution after oral dose (Vz/f) was influenced by the fraction absorbed.

SecondaryPercentage of Subjects With Overall Response

Overall response was to be confirmed by complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using response evaluation criteria in solid tumours Version 1.0 (RECIST) during treatment. CR: The disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level; PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the sum of the longest diameter at baseline.

SecondaryPercentage of Subjects With Clinical Benefit

Clinical benefit was to be confirmed by CR, PR or stable disease (SD) lasting at least 6 weeks (using RECIST v1.0) during treatment. CR: The disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level; PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the sum of the longest diameter at baseline; SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum of the longest diameter since treatment started.
