Phase 1
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Advanced Solid Tumors
Interventions
Drug: Antiemetic
Registration Number
NCT06242691
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of MK-1200 monotherapy in participants with advanced/metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer, esophageal cancer, biliary tract cancer, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who have received, or been intolerant to, all treatments known to confer clinical benefit. Part 1 of the study will be a dose escalation to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Part 2 will evaluate safety and efficacy of MK-1200 at 2 different doses

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants who Experience One or More Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)Up to approximately 28 days

The occurrence of any of the following toxicities within 28 days after the first dose of study intervention will be considered a DLT, if assessed by the investigator to be possibly, probably, or definitely related to study intervention administration:

* Grade 4 nonhematologic toxicity (not laboratory). Any nonhematologic AE ≥Grade 3 in severity should be considered a DLT, with pre-specified exceptions

* Any Grade 3 or Grade 4 laboratory value (hematologic or nonhematologic), with pre-specified exceptions

* Febrile neutropenia Grade 3 or Grade 4 as prespecified by the protocol

* Prolonged delay (\>2 weeks) in initiating Cycle 2 due to intervention-related toxicity

* Any intervention-related toxicity that causes the participant to discontinue intervention during Cycle 1

* Missing \>25% of MK-1200 doses as a result of drug-related AEs during the first cycle

* Grade 5 toxicity

Number of Participants who Experience One or More Adverse Events (AEs)Up to approximately 16 months

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants who experience an AE will be reported for each arm.

Number of Participants who Discontinue Study Intervention Due to an AEUp to approximately 15 months

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants who discontinue study intervention due to an AE will be reported for each arm.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Objective Response Rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)Up to approximately 16 months

ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have achieved confirmed Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR).

Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of MK-1200Cycles 1 and 4: predose and 0.5, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, 96, 168, and 240 hours postdose; Cycles 2-3 Days 1 and 8: predose and 0.5 hours postdose; Day 1 of Cycles 5 onward (up to 15 months): predose and 0.5 hours postdose. Cycle is 14 days.

Cmax is defined as the maximum or 'peak' concentration of MK-1200 observed after its administration. Blood samples will be collected at pre-specified timepoints to determine Cmax.

ORR per RECIST 1.1 as Assessed by InvestigatorUp to approximately 16 months

ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have achieved confirmed Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the investigator.

Area under the curve (AUC) of MK-1200Cycles 1 and 4: predose and 0.5, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, 96, 168, and 240 hours postdose; Cycles 2-3 Days 1 and 8: predose and 0.5 hours postdose; Day 1 of Cycles 5 onward (up to 15 months): predose and 0.5 hours postdose. Cycle is 14 days.

AUC is defined as the area under the concentration versus time curve. Blood samples will be collected at pre-specified timepoints to determine AUC.

Minimum Concentration (Cmin) of MK-1200Cycles 1 and 4: predose and 0.5, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, 96, 168, and 240 hours postdose; Cycles 2-3 Days 1 and 8: predose and 0.5 hours postdose; Day 1 of Cycles 5 onward (up to 15 months): predose and 0.5 hours postdose. Cycle is 14 days.

Cmin is defined as the minimum concentration of MK-1200 observed in plasma after its administration and just prior to administration of a subsequent dose. Blood samples will be collected at pre-specified timepoints to determine Cmin.

Duration of Response (DOR) per RECIST 1.1 as Assessed by BICRUp to approximately 16 months

For participants demonstrating a confirmed CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1, DOR is defined as the time from the first documented evidence of a CR or a PR until Progressive Disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. The DOR as assessed by BICR will be reported.

Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. The DOR as assessed by the investigator will be reported.

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) per RECIST 1.1 as Assessed by BICRUp to approximately 16 months

PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented PD by BICR or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. PFS as assessed by BICR will be reported.
