About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Safety Assessment and Pharmacokinetic Study of IPI-504 in Patients With Either Metastatic and/or Unresectable Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) or Advanced or Metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcomas (STS)

The primary objectives of the study are:

  • Determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of IPI-504 in GIST and STS patients who have failed prior therapies
  • Recommend a dose for subsequent studies of IPI-504
Read the detailed description

IPI-504 is a novel, water-soluble analog of 17-AAG and a potent inhibitor of Hsp90. Hsp90's role in the cell is to control the proper folding, function, and viability of various "client" proteins. Many of these client proteins (such as AKT, Her-2, Bcr-Abl, PDGFR-α, and c-Kit) are oncoproteins or important cell signaling proteins. In patients with GIST, mutations in the tyrosine kinase receptor Kit play a critical role in the pathogenesis of this disease. Inhibition of Kit signaling with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor Imatinib (IM) is a very effective treatment for GIST patients. However, new mutations arise in Kit conferring resistance to IM treatment which results in disease progression. Kit is a client protein of Hsp90 and is sensitive to IPI-504. In Soft Tissue Sarcomas, there may be genetic abnormalities that lead to the expression of certain proteins that drive the growth of cancer. These cancer-driving proteins may be stimulated by HSP90. This provides a scientific rationale for Phase 1 clinical testing of IPI-504 in patients with advanced GIST and STS who have failed prior therapies.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • IPI-504Drug

    IV administration of IPI-504 for 21-day cycles. Two different schedules of treatment will be tested. On Schedule A, doses occur on Days 1, 4, 8, and 11 followed by 10 days with no study drug administration. On Schedule B, doses occur on Days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, and 18, or twice weekly for 3 weeks continuously.

    For both Schedule A and B doses will be administered ≥ 72 hours apart.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of IPI-504 in GIST and STS patients who have failed prior therapies

    Measured: 18 months

  2. To recommend a dose for subsequent studies of IPI-504

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To examine the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of IPI-504 in GIST and STS patients

    Measured: 18 months

  2. To assess in a preliminary way the potential anti-tumor activity of IPI-504 in GIST and STS.

    Measured: 18 months

  3. To explore potential pharmacodynamic (PD) markers of biologic activity of IPI-504 in GIST and STS.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing IPI-504 in people with Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors and Soft Tissue Sarcomas, run by Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 5 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of IPI-504 in GIST and STS patients who have failed prior therapies (time frame: 18 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Jan 2011.
