Study Summary

This trial aims to test a new drug, MK-1200, as a standalone treatment for patients with advanced stomach, esophageal, biliary tract, or pancreatic cancer who have already tried other

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors like stomach, esophagus, biliary tract, or pancreatic cancers who've tried all other treatments without success. They should be recovered from previous treatment side effects and have controlled HIV or hepatitis if present.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
MK-1200 is being tested to see how safe and effective it is for certain advanced cancers. The study has two parts: first finding the highest dose patients can take without serious side effects (MTD), then testing this dose's safety and effectiveness.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of MK-1200 are not detailed here but typically include reactions at the injection site, nausea which may require antiemetic drugs to manage, fatigue, and potentially others as determined during the trial.

Group I: Part 2: MK-1200 Cohort BExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
In Part 2, participants in Cohort B will receive Dose 1 of MK-1200 via IV infusion Q2W until any discontinuation criteria are met.
Group II: Part 2: MK-1200 Cohort AExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
In Part 2, participants in Cohort A will receive either Dose 1 or Dose 2 of MK-1200 via IV infusion Q2W until any discontinuation criteria are met.
Group III: Part 1: MK-1200Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
In Part 1, participants will receive escalating doses of MK-1200 via intravenous (IV) infusion every 2 weeks (Q2W) until any discontinuation criteria are met.

What are the risks associated with Part 1: MK-1200 when used by individuals?

"According to our assessment at Power, the safety rating for Part 1: MK-1200 is a 2 on a scale of 1 to 3. This Phase 2 trial has some evidence supporting its safety profile but lacks data confirming efficacy."

Answered by AI

What is the total number of participants being recruited for this research endeavor?

"Affirmative. Information on clinicaltrials.gov indicates that this particular clinical trial is actively seeking eligible individuals to participate. The study was initially posted on March 26, 2024, and the most recent update was made on March 12, 2024. Recruitment aims to enroll a total of 304 participants across three designated sites."

Answered by AI

What is the primary objective of conducting this clinical trial?

"The primary aim of this investigation, which is expected to span around 28 days, focuses on the count of participants discontinuing the study due to an adverse event. Additional goals involve assessing the Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of MK-1200, defined as its peak concentration post-administration with blood samples collected at specific time intervals for Cmax determination; calculating the Area under the Curve (AUC) of MK-1200 by measuring its concentration over time through blood sample analysis at specified intervals; and examining Overall Survival (OS), characterized as the duration from randomization until death from any cause."
