Treatment and study plan

PF-04449913

Drug

Escalating doses of PF-04449913 administered as tablets PO QD continuously in 28 day cycles

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With First Cycle Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 to end of Cycle 1 (28 days)

    Any DLT event in Cycle 1: 1) Grade >=3 non-hematologic toxicity that had been maximally treated, 2) prolonged myelosupression that lasted greater than (>) 42 days from the point of detection in a normal bone marrow (less than [<] 500 per microliter [/uL] or platelet count <10,000/uL, or hemoglobin <8 gram per deciliter [g/dL] with <5% blasts and no evidence of disease or dysplasia), 3) inability to deliver >= 80% of the planned doses due to PF-04449913 related non-hematologic and hematologic toxicities

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AEs) by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria (CTC) for AEs (CTCAE) (Version 3.0) Grade

    Time frame: Baseline up to 28 days post last dose of study medication (maximum duration: 537 days)

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Treatment-emergent AEs are events which occurred between first dose of study drug and 28 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. If the same participant in a given treatment had more than 1 occurrence in the same preferred term event category, only the worst CTCAE grade (1 = mild AE, 2 = moderate AE, 3 = severe AE, 4 = life-threatening or disabling AE, 5 = death related to AE) was reported.

  2. Percentage of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events (AEs), by NCI CTCAE Version 3.0) Grade

    Time frame: Baseline up to 28 days post last dose of study medication (maximum duration: 537 days)

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant. Treatment-related AEs are events that were assessed by the investigator as related to study medication. If the same participant in a given treatment had more than 1 occurrence in the same preferred term event category, only the worst CTCAE grade (1 = mild AE, 2 = moderate AE, 3 = severe AE, 4 = life-threatening or disabling AE, 5 = death related to AE) was reported.

  4. Number of Participants With Laboratory Test Abnormalities

    Time frame: Screening to EOT (maximum duration: 537 days)
