ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Participants Experiencing Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)Part 1: Up to 14 days, Part 2: Up to 28 days
DLTs were adverse events (AEs) considered at least possibly related to study drug that prevented escalation of the drug dose. Hematologic DLTs were any grade (Gr) 4-5 toxicity EXCEPT: Gr 4 anemia and Gr 4 leukopenia, Gr 4 neutropenia lasting for \<7 days, Gr 4 thrombocytopenia lasting for \<4 days except if a platelet transfusion is required, and Gr 3/Gr 4 neutropenia with fever \>38.5°C and/or infection requiring antibiotic or anti-fungal treatment. Non-hematologic DLT was defined as any Gr 3, 4, or 5 non-hematologic toxicity EXCEPT: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration (all Gr 3) occurring in a setting of inadequate compliance with supportive care measures and lasting for \<48 hours, alopecia of any grade, inadequately treated hypersensitivity reactions, and clinically non-significant, treatable or reversible lab abnormalities including liver function tests, uric acid, etc.
PrimaryPercentage of Total Cyclin-dependent Kinase (CDC2)-Positive Cells That Were Phosphorylated (pCDC2) in Skin Cells at Baseline and 8 Hours After MK-1775 DosingBaseline, 8 hours after first MK-1775 dose
The pCDC2 level in skin cells was used as a marker to evaluate MK-1775 activity. Analysis was done by immunohistochemistry and the percentage of total CDC2-positive cells that were pCDC2 positive (% pCDC2-positive cells) at baseline and 8 hours after MK-1775 dosing were reported for participants in Part 1, 2-A, and 2-B/3 treatment groups with available data per protocol.
PrimaryPercentage of Total pCDC2 in Skin Cells at Baseline and 24 Hours After MK-1775 DosingBaseline, 24 hours after first MK-1775 dose
The pCDC2 level in skin cells was used as a marker to evaluate MK-1775 activity. Analysis was done by immunohistochemistry and the percentage of total pCDC2 at baseline and 24 hours after MK-1775 dosing were reported for participants in the Part 2-B/3 MK-1775 QD x2 Multi Dose plus Gemcitabine treatment groups with available data per protocol.
PrimaryPercentage of Total pCDC2 in Skin Cells at Baseline and 48 Hours After MK-1775 DosingBaseline, 48 hours after first MK-1775 dose
The pCDC2 level in skin cells was used as a marker to evaluate MK-1775 activity. Analysis was done by immunohistochemistry and the percentage of total pCDC2 at baseline and at 48 hours after MK-1775 dosing were reported for participants in the Part 2-B/3 MK-1775 (150 mg, 200 mg, 250) BID x 2.5 Multi Dose plus cisplatin 75 mg/m\^2 groups and the 325 mg BID x2.5 Multi Dose + Carboplatin group with available data per protocol.
PrimaryPlasma Concentration of MK-1775 at 8 Hours After Administration (C8hr) of Single or Multiple Oral Doses8 hours after MK-1775 dose
MK-1775 was measured in the plasma at 8 hours after dosing (Day 1 for single dose of monotherapy, Day 2 of single-dose combination therapy and QD x 2 Combination dosing, and Day 3 dose for BID X 2.5 combination dosing) for participants with available data.
PrimaryMean Urine Excretion of MK-1775 24 Hours After the Day 1 Monotherapy DoseAt 0-4 hours, 4-8 hours, and 12-24 hours post Day 1 dose of monotherapy
The mean cumulative amount of MK-1775 excreted unchanged in urine after a single oral dose was measured during the initial monotherapy cycle of the study. For this outcome measure, samples were collected and analyzed only for the MK-1775 monotherapy arms of the study at defined intervals after the Day 1 dose of monotherapy. Part 2 MK-1775 combination arms were not sampled per protocol.
SecondaryBest Overall Response as Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) CriteriaFrom Day 1 up through discontinuation of study treatment (up to ~11.2 months)
Best overall response achieved by a participant. Starting at Day 1, participants in Part 2 were evaluated for tumor response every 6-8 weeks until discontinuation from study treatment according to RECIST criteria; which are based on radiographic imaging. Recorded responses were either confirmed by Central Review or unconfirmed (Investigator assessment only), and included complete response (CR; defined as disappearance of all target lesions), partial response (PR; at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter \[LD\] of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD), stable disease (SD; neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient growth to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started), or progressive disease (PD; ≥20% increase in sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started, or the appearance of one or more new lesions).
