Exclusion Criteria
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.
The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).
Your pathology report is the document that shows this.
The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.
How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.
It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.
Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.
Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).
Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Both Nelfinavir and MLN9708 will be given orally (by mouth). MLN9708 will be given as 3 mg orally twice weekly. Study drugs will be administered on 21-day treatment cycles. All cycles are 21 days. During the first cycle of MLN9708 only will initially be administered orally at a fixed dose of 3mg twice weekly for 2 weeks, on Mondays and Thursdays during this treatment cycle. During the third week there will be no study combination drug therapy(for Cycle 1 only). During Cycles 2 and 3, MLN9708 administered twice weekly on Mondays and Thursdays for the first 2 weeks of Cycles 2 and 3. Nelfinavir (escalating cohorts \[1250mg, 1875mg, 2500mg, 3125mg\]) will be administered orally twice daily in the dose cohorts listed.
Drug: MLN9708 · Drug: Nelfinavir
MLN9708 is a second-generation reversible proteasome inhibitor which shows greater oral bioavailability, improved pharmacokinetics and enhanced antitumor activity compared with bortezomib (VELCADE®).
Also known as: Ixazomib
Nelfinavir is an oral HIV protease inhibitor approved by FDA in 1997, now available in generic form. It has a well established safety profile in HIV patients when administered at the recommended dose of 1250 mg PO BID. Nelfinavir was shown to induce ER stress in cancer cell lines and xenograft tumors leading to apoptosis and tumor growth inhibition.
Also known as: Viracept
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of nelfinavir
If 0/3 patients experience dose limiting toxicity, 3 patients will be treated at the next dose level. If dose limiting toxicity attributable to the study drug(s) is experienced in exactly 1/3 patients, 3 more patients (for a total of 6) will be treated at that dose level. If no additional dose limiting toxicity is observed at the expanded dose level (i.e. 1/6 with dose limiting toxicity), the dose will be escalated. Escalation will terminate as soon as two or more patients experience any dose limiting toxicity attributable to the study drug(s), at a given dose level. If 2 or more dose limiting toxicities are observed in any cohort, no further escalation will take place, and the Maximum Tolerated Dose will have been exceeded.
Time frame: Approximately 1 year to establish MTD
The toxicity of MLN9708 when combined with nelfinavir based on CTCAE grading criteria v. 4.0
The toxicities observed at each dose level will be summarized in terms of type (organ affected or laboratory determination such as absolute neutrophil count), severity (by NCI Revised Common Toxicity Criteria and nadir or maximum values for the laboratory measures), time of onset (i.e. course number), duration, and reversibility or outcome. Tables will be created to summarize these toxicities and side effects by dose and by course.
Time frame: Approximately 18-24 months to observe toxicity
Pharmacokinetics of both MLN9708 and nelfinavir based on parameters estimated using WinNonLin
MLN2238 concentrations-time data will be plotted on a semi-logarithmic plot and the decay of the drug concentrations over time inspected. The data will initially be analyzed using a non-compartmental and the primary pharmacokinetic parameters estimated using WinNonLin.
Time frame: The study as a whole is estimated to be completed in 18-24 months.
Pharmacodynamics of MLN9708 based on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)
To explore the effect of nelfinavir on the pharmacodynamics of MLN9708 (as assessed by β1 and β5 inhibition in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), ATF-3, CHOP and GADD34 up-regulation in PBMCs.
Time frame: The study as a whole is estimated to be completed in 18-24 months.
Pharmacodynamics of MLN9708 based on tumor tissue
To explore the effect of nelfinavir on the pharmacodynamics of MLN9708 based on tumor tissue apoptosis induction as detected by TUNEL stain, and activated caspase-3 cleavage in primary tumors.
Time frame: The study as a whole is estimated to be completed in 18-24 months.
The anti-tumor activity of the MLN9708/Nelfinavir
Disease assessments, including radiological imagining will occur initially after 9 weeks of therapy and then every 6 weeks thereafter.
Time frame: The study as a whole is estimated to be completed in 18-24 months.
