Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Subjects With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) Determined in Part-A
Week 1 up to Week 4 (Part A)

DLT: any of the following National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) Grade 4 hematologic or Grade 3/4 non-hematologic toxicities that occurred during DLT observation period of Part A, and were considered by Investigator to be at least possibly related to study treatment, and confirmed by Safety Monitoring Committee. Hematological toxicities: Grade 4 neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, Grade 4 thrombocytopenia, Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding episodes. Nonhematological toxicities: Grade 3 or higher non-hematological toxicity with exception of Grade 3 fatigue/skin toxicity; Grade 3 nausea/vomiting without appropriate prophylactic therapy; Grade 3 diarrhoea recovered within 2 days with adequate treatment or did not accompany fever/dehydration; Grade 3 or 4 laboratory liver parameter abnormalities with duration of less than 3 days.

Number of Subjects With Treatment-emergent Adverse (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs, TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation or TEAEs Leading to Death
Baseline up to 4 weeks after the last Sym004 administration, up to a maximum of 41.1 weeks

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important. AEs were considered treatment emergent if they started on or after the day of first administration of the Sym004 or if they started prior to administration but worsened after receiving the first dose of treatment.

Frequently asked questions about Sym004

What is Sym004 used for?

Sym004 is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of solid tumors. It is currently in Phase 1 clinical development, meaning it has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities and remains under investigation for safety and efficacy in patients.

Who makes Sym004?

Sym004 is being developed by Merck KGaA, a multinational pharmaceutical company. The company's stock is traded under the ticker symbol MKGAF. Merck KGaA is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of Sym004 in patients with solid tumors.

What phase is Sym004 in?

Sym004 is currently in Phase 1 clinical development. A Phase 1 trial has been completed, which involved 51 participants with solid tumors. The drug is investigational and has not yet received approval from regulatory agencies such as the FDA.

What clinical trials is Sym004 in?

Sym004 has one completed clinical trial registered under NCT01955473, titled 'Japanese Phase 1 Trial of Sym004 in Solid Tumors.' This Phase 1 study enrolled 51 participants with solid tumors and was conducted in Germany. The trial was uncontrolled and not randomized or double-blinded.

Is Sym004 FDA approved?

Sym004 is not FDA approved. It is an investigational drug currently in Phase 1 clinical development. A Phase 1 trial has been completed, but the drug has not yet progressed through the later stages of clinical testing required for regulatory approval.

What is the development status of Sym004?

Sym004 is in Phase 1 clinical development for solid tumors. One Phase 1 trial has been completed with 51 participants. The drug is still in the early stages of investigation, and its safety and efficacy have not been fully established.
