Terms in these criteria, in plain language(22)

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.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

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.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Informed consent

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.

Adjuvant and neoadjuvant

Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

Childbearing potential

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.

Postmenopausal

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).

Contraception

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.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

RECIST

The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.

“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.

Brain metastases

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.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

HIV

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.

Hepatitis B tests

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.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Bilirubin

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.

Cancer (malignancy)

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.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

CYP3A (CYP3A4) inhibitors and inducers

CYP3A is a group of enzymes, mainly CYP3A4, in the liver and gut that break down many medicines. Some medicines, supplements and foods (grapefruit, St John’s wort) slow them down or speed them up, which changes how much of a study drug stays in the body.

Studies list them so they can be avoided or switched; bring a list of everything you take, including supplements.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Phase 1b: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    DLTs were defined as a Grade 4 hematologic adverse events (AEs), Grade ≥ 3 non-hematologic AEs that were considered related to the study drug and that did not resolve within 14 days following presentation with standard management and care, Grade ≥ 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding, neutropenic fever, any death not clearly due to the underlying disease or extraneous causes, or any change in liver function that met Hy's Law criteria of a DLT.

    Time frame: Up to Day 28

  2. Phase 1b: Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    AEs were defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans. TEAEs are defined as any AE that started on or after the first day of study treatment and within 30 days of the last administration of study treatment, or that worsened on or after the first day of study treatment. AE severity was graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 on a scale from Grade 1 (mild) to Grade 5 (death). An AE was considered "serious" if it resulted in death, life-threatening AE, hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, persistent or significant incapacity, or congenital anomaly/birth defect. The Investigator determined relatedness to the use of onvansertib. Clinically significant changes in vital signs, laboratory parameters, electrocardiograms, physical examinations, weight, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status were reported as AEs.

    Time frame: Up to a maximum of 81 weeks

  3. All-Treated Analysis Set: Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants documented to have a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1). Two-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated using the exact binomial Clopper-Pearson method. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have had a reduction in short axis to \< 10 mm. All lymph nodes must have been non-pathological in size (\< 10mm short axis). PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the Baseline sum diameters.

    Time frame: Up to a maximum of 131 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Phase 2: Number of Participants With TEAEs

    AEs were defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans. TEAEs are defined as any AE that started on or after the first day of study treatment and within 30 days of the last administration of study treatment, or that worsened on or after the first day of study treatment. AE severity was graded according to the CTCAE version 5.0 on a scale from Grade 1 (mild) to Grade 5 (death). An AE was considered "serious" if it resulted in death, life-threatening AE, hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, persistent or significant incapacity, or congenital anomaly/birth defect. The Investigator determined relatedness to the use of onvansertib. Clinically significant changes in vital signs, laboratory parameters, electrocardiograms, physical examinations, weight, and ECOG performance status were reported as AEs.

    Time frame: Up to a maximum of 131 weeks

  2. All-Treated Analysis Set: Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    DCR was defined as the percentage of participants documented to have a confirmed CR, PR or stable disease (SD) using the RECIST v1.1. Two-sided 95% CI was calculated using the exact binomial Clopper-Pearson method. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have had a reduction in short axis to \< 10 mm. All lymph nodes must have been non-pathological in size (\< 10mm short axis). PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the Baseline sum diameters. SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD). PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. The sum must also demonstrate an increase of at least 5mm. Unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

    Time frame: Up to a maximum of 131 weeks

  3. All-Treated Analysis Set: Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time in months from the date of first administration of study treatment until the first observation of PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, i.e.: (date of first PD or death date of first administration of study treatment +1)/30.4375. Median and 95% CI were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Participants who did not have an observed documented PD or death from any cause were censored at the latest tumor response assessment date. PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. The sum must also demonstrate an increase of at least 5mm. Unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

    Time frame: Up to a maximum of 131 weeks

  4. All-Treated Analysis Set: Duration of Response (DoR)

    DoR was calculated as the (date of first documented tumor progression or death due to any cause minus date of first documentation of a subsequently confirmed objective response plus 1)/30.4375. Participants who did not have an observed documented PD or death from any cause were censored at the latest tumor response assessment date.

    Time frame: Up to a maximum of 131 weeks

  5. All-Treated Analysis Set: Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time in months from the date of first administration of study treatment until death due to any cause, i.e.: (Date of death date of first administration of study treatment +1)/30.4375. Participants who did not have documented death from any cause were censored at the date they were last known to be alive. OS was added as an endpoint with Protocol Amendment #1, therefore, OS data was only collected from then onward.

    Time frame: Up to a maximum of 131 weeks

  6. All-Treated Analysis Set: Percentage Change in KRAS-mutant Allelic Fraction (MAF)

    Blood samples were analyzed for the presence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA \[including KRAS mutations\]). KRAS-mutant allelic burden was based on liquid biopsies.

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 and Cycle 2 Day 1 (28-day cycle length)

  7. Phase 2: Observed Plasma Concentration at the End of Each Dosing Interval (Ctrough) of Onvansertib

    Plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for onvansertib were estimated using non-compartmental methods.

    Time frame: Pre-dose on Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 3 (28-day cycle length)

An AE was considered "serious" if it resulted in death, life-threatening AE, hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, persistent or significant incapacity, or congenital anomaly/birth defect. The Investigator determined relatedness to the use of onvansertib. Clinically significant changes in vital signs, laboratory parameters, electrocardiograms, physical examinations, weight, and ECOG performance status were reported as AEs.

SecondaryAll-Treated Analysis Set: Disease Control Rate (DCR)

DCR was defined as the percentage of participants documented to have a confirmed CR, PR or stable disease (SD) using the RECIST v1.1. Two-sided 95% CI was calculated using the exact binomial Clopper-Pearson method. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have had a reduction in short axis to \< 10 mm. All lymph nodes must have been non-pathological in size (\< 10mm short axis). PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the Baseline sum diameters. SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD). PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. The sum must also demonstrate an increase of at least 5mm. Unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

SecondaryAll-Treated Analysis Set: Progression-free Survival (PFS)

PFS was defined as the time in months from the date of first administration of study treatment until the first observation of PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, i.e.: (date of first PD or death date of first administration of study treatment +1)/30.4375. Median and 95% CI were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Participants who did not have an observed documented PD or death from any cause were censored at the latest tumor response assessment date. PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. The sum must also demonstrate an increase of at least 5mm. Unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.
