What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities During Cycle 1

    Cycle 1 was defined as 3 loading doses given on Days 1, 3, and 5 followed by 3 weekly doses given on Days 8, 15, and 22.

    Time frame: DLT assessment window - Cycle 1 (22 days)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Evaluation of Pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD9150 (Following Single Administrations in Patients With HCC) by Determining Cmax, Using the Plasma Concentration Data.

    8 times (pre-dose, 1.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, 8, 24 hours post-dose) on Day1 of Cycle1. For additional 6 patients in Japan, 8 times (pre-dose, 1.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, 8, 24 hours post-dose) on Day1 of Cycle1. From the multiple samples a timecourse is obtained of treatment conc in the plasma over time. From this curve the associated PK parameters e.g. Cmax are obtained. For n patients we obtain up to n parameters which can then be averaged.

    Time frame: 8 times of PK sampling on Day1 of Cycle1. Additional 6 patients in Japan; 8 times of PK sampling on Day1 of Cycle1.

  2. Preliminary Assessment of the Anti-tumour Activity of AZD9150 by Evaluation of Tumour Response.

    Tumour response assessment by modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST). Overall tumour response: assessed by mRECIST for HCC overall visit response of CR (disappearance of baseline TLs and NTLs), PR (\>=30% decrease in sum of TLs), SD (neither PR nor PD), PD (sum TLs increased \>20%), or NE .

    Time frame: Every 6 weeks, assessed up to 12 months.

  3. Evaluation of Pharmacokinetics (PK) of AZD9150 (Following Single Administrations in Patients With HCC) by Determining Tmax, Using the Plasma Concentration Data.

    8 times (pre-dose, 1.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, 8, 24 hours post-dose) on Day1 of Cycle1. For additional 6 patients in Japan, 8 times (pre-dose, 1.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 6, 8, 24 hours post-dose) on Day1 of Cycle1.

    Time frame: 8 times of PK sampling on Day1 of Cycle1. Additional 6 patients in Japan; 8 times of PK sampling on Day 1 of Cycle 1.

Results

Posted Mar 6, 2017
Limitations and caveats
The overall study objectives were achieved earlier than anticipated, so recruitment was stopped and the study was considered complete. In turn multiple dose PK profiles were not obtained during the study expansion phase.

Participant flow

The first patient entered the study on 03 May 2013, and the last patient last visit before the DCO was 31 December 2014. The DCO date was 05 January 2015.
