an extension protocol for subjects who were previously enrolled in other tivantinib (arq 197) protocols

Conditions: Advanced Solid Tumors

Summary: this is an extension study that will allow participants to continue to receive study therapy when the original studies into which they were enrolled have reached their designated end-dates. this extension study is designed to further evaluate the safety and tolerability of tivantinib (arq 197) monotherapy or in combination with other drug(s) when given to participants who tolerated previous treatment well and may benefit from the continuing treatment.

this open label extension protocol enrolls participants who were treated in previous phase 1 (nct01149720, nct01517399, nct01699061, nct00612703, nct00827177, and nct00874042) and phase 2 (nct00777309, nct00557609, nct00988741, nct01395758 , and nct01055067) tivantinib studies that have reached their designated end-dates. participants enrolled in this extension protocol will provide further safety and tolerability information about tivantinib monotherapy or in combination with other drug(s) at the same dose(s), and same schedule(s) in which they were originally enrolled.
