Dose Finding Study of BI 6727 (Volasertib) in Patients With Various Solid Cancers

Primary objective for this trial was to identify the MTD of volasertib for 2 dosing schedules. The MTD was defined as the highest volasertib dose studied for which the incidence of DLT was less than 2/6 patients. The MTD was defined on the basis of DLTs observed during the first treatment course only. In this outcome measure the percentage of participants with DLTs in cycle 1 is presented.

Percentage of participants with incidence and intensity of drug-related AEs according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.3.0. This endpoint will be presented as a percentage of patients with adverse event by treatment and the highest CTCAE grade of the related AE.

This endpoint will be presented as a change from baseline to last value on treatment in platelets.

This endpoint will be presented as a change from baseline to last value on treatment in neutrophils.

This endpoint will present the best clinical assessment. The investigator will perform a clinical assessment. An evaluation will be done whether the patient appears to be clinically improved, unchanged, or deteriorated. The presented numbers show the percentage of patients.

This endpoint will be presented as a change from baseline at last observation of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in millimeter of mercury (mmHg) and pulse rate (PR) in beats per minute (bpm). In this outcome measure SBP and DBP are presented.

This endpoint will be presented as a change from baseline at last observation of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in millimeter of mercury (mmHg) and pulse rate (PR) in beats per minute (bpm). In this outcome measure the pulse rate is presented.

This endpoint will be presented as a change from individual baseline in QT interval, corrected according to Fridericias formula (QTcF) to end of infusion (2 hours) and 24 hours after first infusion in Cycle 1.

The objective response (OR) was defined as complete response (CR; disappearance of all target lesions) or partial response (PR; at least a 30 percent decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum longest) assessed by tumour measurement and evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in solid tumours (RECIST), version 1.0.

The data represents the percentage of patients.

Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression or death. PFS was assessed by tumour measurement and evaluated according to RECIST, version 1.0.

The duration of overall response was measured from the time measurement criteria were met for complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), whichever was recorded first, until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease was objectively documented. The duration of overall CR was measured from the time measurement criteria were first met for CR until the first date that recurrent disease was objectively documented.

The disease control (DC) presented are the percentage of patients with CR, PR or stable disease as best response throughout the study assessed by tumour measurement and evaluated according to RECIST, version 1.0.

The individual time profile of the sum of the largest diameters of target lesions (LD) is presented graphically for each patient in the Clinical Trial Report (CTR) only. No descriptive statistics were planned.

The PK of volasertib will be presented for the area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞) for the population attending the D1 schedule, the area under the concentration-time curve of the analyte in plasma over the time interval from 0 extrapolated to 168 hours (AUC0-168) for the population attending the D1+ D8 schedule and the maximum measured concentration of volasertib in plasma (Cmax). In this outcome measure AUC0-∞ is presented.
