About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of MGCD0103 (MG-0103) in Combination With Docetaxel (Taxotere®) in Subjects With Advanced Solid Malignancies

The purpose of this study is to test the combination of an experimental drug known as MGCD0103 given along with an FDA-approved drug called docetaxel. This is a Phase 1 study that will look at different doses of MGCD0103 given along with docetaxel in order to better understand the effects (positive and negative) of this combination on the subject's body and disease.

The study would like to find the following information:

  • How long MGCD0103 and docetaxel stay in the subject's body;
  • What effects, good and/or bad, MGCD0103 and docetaxel have on the subject and on his/her cancer; and
  • If the genetic and chemical make-up of the subject's blood cells and tumor cells play a role in how you respond or do not respond to MGCD0103 and docetaxel.
Read the detailed description

This Phase 1 study will evaluate escalating doses of orally administered MGCD0103 in combination with two fixed doses (60 mg/m2 and 75 mg/m2) of IV docetaxel. In the US, docetaxel is recommended at these or even higher doses (up to 100 mg/m2), both as a single agent or in combination with other cytotoxic drugs (e.g., cisplatin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and 5-fluorouracil), for the treatment of NSCLC, prostate cancer, gastric adenocarcinoma, and head and neck cancer. In Japan, 60 mg/m2 IV docetaxel is the approved dose for the treatment of breast cancer.

MGCD0103 belongs to the class of more selective, less globally cytotoxic agents being investigated for treatment of cancers today, and may offer a lesser and/or non-overlapping toxicity profile than the cytotoxic agents with which docetaxel is currently combined. MGCD0103 doses ranging from 50 to 135 mg have been administered in combination with the approved regimen of azacitidine (Vidaza®) (75 mg/m2/day for 5 days every 4 weeks) to patients with high-risk MDS and AML. A 50 mg dose of MGCD0103 has been administered in combination with the approved regimen of gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2 once weekly for 3 consecutive weeks of each 4-week cycle) to patients with advanced solid tumors; higher doses of MGCD0103 will soon be evaluated in that trial.

Given the above, the proposed starting dose of 60 mg/m2 IV docetaxel and 50 mg MGCD0103 is considered appropriately safe for initial investigation of this combination. Based on the results observed in Part 1, the study may also evaluate 75 mg/m2 IV docetaxel and escalating doses of orally administered MGCD0103 in Part 2 in order to determine whether this dosing regimen is safe and would also warrant further investigation.

What participants receive

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

  • MGCD0103 & DocetaxelDrug

    Also called MG-0103, Taxotere®

    In both Parts 1 and 2, subsequent doses of MGCD0103 will be escalated in 25 mg increments until the MTD of MGCD0103 in combination with each fixed dose (60 mg/m2 or 75 mg/m2) ofIV docetaxel is determined.

    In both parts 1 and 2, MGCD0103 will be administered orally TIW for 3 weeks beginning on Day 1 at 1 hour prior to the start of the IV docetaxel infusion.

    There will be no scheduled break between cycles and no limit to the number of cycles a subject can receive provided they do not have disease progression as defined by RECIST, or a clinically significant drug-related adverse event (AE) that does not resolve or respond to treatment intervention with 3 weeks.

Study groups in NCT00511576
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Part 1Active comparatorIn Part 1, cohorts of three to six subjects will receive doses of MGCD0103 administered orally three times per week (TIW) in combination with 60 mg/m2 IV docetaxel administered as a 1-hour infusion on Day 1 of each 3-week (21-day) cycle. The starting dose of MGCD0103 in Part 1 will be 50 mg (approximately 25 mg/m2).
Receives: Drug: MGCD0103 & Docetaxel
Part 2Active comparatorPart 2 will begin once the MTD for MGCD0103 in combination with 60 mg/m2 IV docetaxel has been determined and further evaluated in the expansion phase. In Part 2, cohorts of three to six subjects will receive escalating doses of MGCD0103 administered orally TIW in combination with 75 mg/m2 docetaxel administered as a 1-hour IV infusion on Day 1 of each cycle. The starting dose of MGCD0103 administered in combination with 75 mg/m2 IV docetaxel will be the MTD from Part 1 minus 25 mg.
Receives: Drug: MGCD0103 & Docetaxel

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), and safety profile of escalating doses of orally administered MGCD0103 in combination with two fixed doses (60 mg/m2 and 75 mg/m2) of IV docetaxel.

    Measured: 15 months

  2. To assess the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of MGCD0103 (and/or its metabolites) and IV docetaxel administered in combination.

    Measured: 15 months

  3. To evaluate potential pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of orally administered MGCD0103 in combination with IV docetaxel.

    Measured: 15 months

  4. To determine the overall tumor response of orally administered MGCD0103 in combination with IV docetaxel according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) methodology.

    Measured: 15 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MGCD0103 & Docetaxel in people with Breast Cancer and Lung Cancer, run by Mirati Therapeutics Inc. at 2 sites in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jan 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Celgene terminated its collaboration agreement with MethylGene for the development of MGCD0103. All Celgene-sponsored trials with MGCD0103 will be closed.). Results are not available in the source record.

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 maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), and safety profile of escalating doses of orally administered MGCD0103 in combination with two fixed doses (60 mg/m2 and 75 mg/m2) of IV docetaxel. (time frame: 15 months). The study lists 4 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 8 Jan 2015.
