NCT01380184
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

Part 1 of the study will assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of ridaforolimus (MK-8669) after administration of single and multiple 40 mg doses in Chinese participants with advanced cancer. Part 2 of the study is optional; participants can continue to receive the study treatment in a weekly regimen of daily oral doses of ridaforolimus 40 mg for five consecutive days followed by two days off-treatment.

Ridaforolimus 40 mgridaforolimusIn Part 1 (Days 1-19), participants received ridaforolimus (MK-8669) 40 mg via oral enteric-coated tablet on Day 1; followed by no study treatment on Days 2-7; followed by two weekly sequences (Days 8-19) consisting of 5 consecutive days of ridaforolimus 40 mg and 2 consecutive days off study treatment. Following Part 1, participants underwent at least a 2-day study treatment washout prior to starting Part 2. In Part 2, participants received a weekly treatment regimen consisting of 5 consecutive days (Days 1-5) of ridaforolimus 40 mg via oral enteric-coated tablet and 2 consecutive days (Days 6-7) off study treatment. This weekly treatment regimen was repeated every subsequent week for the remainder of participation in Part 2.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Lag Time (Tlag) of Ridaforolimus: Day 1Cycle 1 Day 1: Predose and at various time points up to 24 hours postdose on Day 1; Cycle 1 is 19 days

Tlag is the time taken for ridaforolimus to appear in systemic circulation following oral administration. The median and full range (minimum, maximum) for Tlag after a single dose of ridafolorlimus are presented.

Area Under the Curve From 0 to Infinity (AUC0-∞) of Ridaforolimus: Cycle 1 (Cycle 1 is 19 Days)Cycle 1: Predose on Day 1 and at various time points through to 24 hours postdose on Day 19; Cycle 1 is 19 days

AUC0-∞ represents the total exposure to ridaforolimus and its average blood concentration multiplied by the total amount of time (extrapolated to infinity) that ridaforolimus was in the body. The (geometric) mean was calculated based on the back-transformed least-squares mean and the 95% confidence interval was determined from a linear mixed-effect model, containing a fixed effect for day and a random effect for participant, performed on natural log-transformed values. The geometric mean and back-transformed 95% confidence interval are presented for AUC0-∞.

Area Under the Curve From 0 to 24 Hours (AUC0-24hr) of Ridaforolimus: Day 1, Day 19Cycle 1 Day 1: Predose and at various time points up to 24 hours postdose on Day 1; Cycle 1 Day 19: Predose and at various time points up to 24 hours postdose on Day 19; Cycle 1 is 19 days

AUC0-24hr represents the total exposure to ridaforolimus and its average blood concentration multiplied by the total amount of time (extrapolated to 24 hours) that ridaforolimus was in the body. The (geometric) mean was calculated based on the back-transformed least-squares mean and the 95% confidence interval was determined from a linear mixed-effect model, containing a fixed effect for day and a random effect for participant, performed on natural log-transformed values. The geometric means and back-transformed 95% confidence intervals after a single dose of ridaforolimus and after multiple doses of ridaforolimus are presented for AUC0-24hr.

Apparent Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of Ridaforolimus: Cycle 1 (Cycle 1 is 19 Days)Cycle 1: Predose on Day 1 and at various time points through to 24 hours postdose on Day 19; Cycle 1 is 19 days

t½ is the time that it takes for the concentration of ridaforolimus in the body to decrease by half. The (harmonic) means and 95% confidence intervals for t1/2 after a single dose of ridaforolimus and after multiple doses of ridaforolimus are presented.

Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Ridaforolimus: Day 1, Day 19Cycle 1 Day 1: Predose and at various time points up to 24 hours postdose on Day 1; Cycle 1 Day 19: Predose and at various time points up to 24 hours postdose on Day 19; Cycle 1 is 19 days

Cmax is the peak blood plasma concentration following a dose of ridaforolimus. The (geometric) mean was calculated based on the back-transformed least-squares mean and the 95% confidence interval was determined from a linear mixed-effect model, containing a fixed effect for day and a random effect for participant, performed on natural log-transformed values. The geometric means and back-transformed 95% confidence intervals after a single dose of ridaforolimus and after multiple doses of ridaforolimus are presented for Cmax.

Concentration at 24 Hours (C24hr) of Ridaforolimus: Day 1, Day 19Cycle 1 Day 1: Predose and at various time points up to 24 hours postdose on Day 1; Cycle 1 Day 19: Predose and at various time points up to 24 hours postdose on Day 19; Cycle 1 is 19 days

C24hr is the concentration of ridaforolimus in the blood 24 hours after a dose of ridaforolimus. The (geometric) mean was calculated based on the back-transformed least-squares mean and the 95% confidence interval was determined from a linear mixed-effect model, containing a fixed effect for day and a random effect for participant, performed on natural log-transformed values. The geometric means and back-transformed 95% confidence intervals after a single dose of ridaforolimus and after multiple doses of ridaforolimus are presented for C24hr.

Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Ridaforolimus: Day 1, Day 19Cycle 1 Day 1: Predose and at various time points up to 24 hours postdose on Day 1; Cycle 1 Day 19: Predose and at various time points up to 24 hours postdose on Day 19; Cycle 1 is 19 days

Tmax is the time at which the Cmax of ridaforolimus is reached. The medians and ranges (minimum, maximum) for Tmax after a single dose of ridaforolimus and after multiple doses of ridaforolimus are presented.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants Experiencing Clinical and Laboratory Adverse Events (AEs)From first dose up to 30 days after last dose (Up to 26 weeks)

A laboratory AE (LAE) is defined as any unfavorable \& unintended change in the chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of study product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. A clinical AE (CAE) is defined similarly but also includes changes in structure or function of the body. Serious AEs (SAEs) are those that result in one or more of the pre-specified outcome(s) that meet the criteria of seriousness, including death, life-threatening, significant disability, or hospitalization, etc. Drug-relatedness was determined by the investigator based on clinical judgement.
