What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested a new drug called E7386 combined with the immunotherapy pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in 89 people with advanced melanoma, colorectal cancer, or liver cancer. The goal was to see if the combination is safe and can shrink tumors. Some participants with liver cancer also received a third drug, lenvatinib. The trial has been completed, and researchers are analyzing the results.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
E7386 (a drug taken as a tablet) combined with pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy given by IV), and in some cases lenvatinib (a drug taken as a capsule)
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced melanoma, colorectal, or liver cancer who have not responded to prior therapies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1b/2) with only 89 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination may cause side effects or not work better than existing treatments.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Magnesium less than or equal to (\>=) 1.2 milligram per deciliter (mg/dL) or 0.5 millimoles per litre (mmol/L). 7. Melanoma cohort (Phase 2), participants must have: * Unresectable Stage III or Stage IV melanoma, not amenable to local therapy. * Received only 1 or, if BRAF mut +ve, 2 lines of therapies locally advanced or metastatic setting prior to study enrolment. Note: Adjuvant anti-PD-1/PD-L1 mAb/ BRAF inhibitor treatment will be counted as prior line of treatment if relapse occurred during active treatment or within 12 weeks of treatment discontinuation. 8. CRC cohort (Phase 2), participants must have received at least 2 prior systemic therapies in adjuvant and/or metastatic setting (not exceeding 4 lines of therapies in the metastatic setting, progressed on at least 1 prior regimen in the metastatic setting or could not tolerate standard treatment) 9. Participants with HCC cohort (Phase 2) must have: * Stage B (not amenable to locoregional therapy or refractory to locoregional therapy, and not amenable to a curative treatment) or stage C based on Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer \[BCLC\] staging System and Child-Pugh class A only. * Have received only 1 prior line of systemic therapy in the locally advanced or metastatic setting, and must have progressed on treatment with an anti-PD-1/L1 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) administered either as monotherapy, or in combination 10. Must agree to take Vitamin D continuous supplementation as per local institutional guideline/ investigator's clinical discretion if their 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels are less than 10 nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL). 11. Triplet treatment cohorts only: Adequately controlled blood pressure (BP) with or without antihypertensive medications, defined as BP \<=150/90 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) at Screening/Baseline and no change in antihypertensive medications within 1 week before starting treatment in this study. Exclusion Criteria 1. Have present or progressive accumulation of pleural, ascitic, or pericardial fluid requiring drainage or diuretic drugs within 2 weeks prior to study drug administration. The participant can receive diuretic drugs as needed per the treating physician. Consult with the sponsor if the participant has more than trivial/trace fluid accumulation. 2. Prior treatment with E7386 or prior therapy with anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti PD-L2 agent or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor (example, CTLA-4, OX 40, CD137) that was discontinued due to a Grade 3 or higher immune-related (ir)AE 3. Participants with central nervous system (CNS) metastases are not eligible unless they are previously treated are radiologically stable, that is, without evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks by repeat imaging (note that the repeat imaging should be performed during study screening), and are clinically stable and without requirement of steroid treatment for at least 14 days prior to first dose of study treatment 4.

Dual active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection at study entry for participants with HCC 11. Known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive 12. Received blood/platelet transfusion or G-CSF within 4 weeks before study entry 13. For Melanoma only, participants with ocular melanoma are excluded. Note: Participants with mucosal melanoma will not exceed 20% of the enrolled participants in melanoma cohort in Phase 2. 14. For CRC only, participants are excluded if: \- have a tumor that is microsatellite instability high (MSI H)/ DNA mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) positive 15. For HCC only, participants are excluded if: * Clear invasion to bile duct * Have had esophageal or gastric variceal bleeding within the last 6 months. Participants in triplet treatment cohorts will be screened for esophageal or gastric varices unless such screening has been performed in the past 3 months before first dose of treatment. If varices are present, they should be treated according to institutional standards before starting study intervention; esophageal or gastric varices that require interventional treatment within 28 days prior to first dose of study drug are excluded * History of hepatic encephalopathy within 6 months prior to starting study drug unresponsive to therapy within 3 days. Participants on rifaximin or lactulose during screening to control their hepatic encephalopathy are not allowed 16. For participants in the triplet treatment cohorts only: * Proteinuria greater than (\>) 1+ on urine dipstick testing will undergo 24-hour urine collection for quantitative assessment of proteinuria. Participants with urine protein \>=1 gram per 24 hours (g/24 hours) will be ineligible * Bleeding or thrombotic disorders or use of anticoagulants requiring therapeutic INR monitoring (example, warfarin or similar agents). Treatment with low molecular weight heparin and factor X inhibitors is permitted * Clinically significant hemoptysis from any source or tumor bleeding within 3 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug * Pre-existing \>=Grade 3 gastrointestinal or non-gastrointestinal fistula
