About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Open-label Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of MGCD0103 Administered in Combination With Azacitidine (Vidaza®) to Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, and to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of Different Formulations of MGCD0103

The first part of the study is to evaluate and determine if three different forms of MGCD0103 (free base FB-MGCD0103, tartaric acid free base [TA-FB-MGCD0103], and dihydrobromide [2HBr] salt formulation MGCD0103) have the same properties when given to patients with cancer. The second part of the study is to determine whether MGCD0103 administered in combination with azacitidine is effective and safe in treating subjects with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) (follicular or diffuse large B-cell [DLBCL]).

Read the detailed description

MGCD0103 and FB-MGCD0103 belong to a class of drugs known as histone deacetylase inhibitors (also called HDAC inhibitors). Azacitidine belongs to a class of anti-cancer drugs known as DNA de-methylating agents. Azacitidine (Vidaza®) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2004 for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).

The combination of MGCD0103 and azacitidine has been given to about 50 people with leukemia or MDS in other clinical studies. This is the first study where the combination will be tested in people with lymphoma. Specifically, the study is designed to understand the following:

  • How long single doses of TA-FB-MGCD0103, FB-MGCD0103 and MGCD0103 stay in the body, OR
  • How long different doses of TA-FB-MGCD0103 and FB-MGCD0103 stay in the body; and
  • How long MGCD0103 stays in the body when given with azacitidine; and
  • What effect MGCD0103 and azacitidine have on the body and the study subject's type of lymphoma; and
  • If the genetic and chemical make-up of the study subject's blood and/or tumor play a role in how she/he responds or does not respond to MGCD0103 and azacitidine.

What participants receive

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

  • MGCD0103 and AzacitidineDrug

    Also called Vidaza®

    In Part 1 of the study, up to 22 people to enroll will receive a single, oral dose (75 mg gelcap) of MGCD0103 and FB-MGCD0103 during their first 2 weeks in the study. Up to 22 additional people will receive a single dose of both MGCD0103 and TA-FB-MGCE0103. The next group of people to enroll will receive 2 different single doses (25, 50, 100 mg) of FB-MGCD0103 or TA-FB-MGCD0103 during their first 2 weeks in the study.

    In Part 2 of the study, from Day 1-5 of each 28-day cycle, all subjects will receive a dose of azacitidine (75 mg/m2) either subcutaneously or through an intravenous device, and on days 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19, 22, 24, 26, a single, oral dose (85 mg) of MGCD0103 until progression or unacceptable toxicity develops.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary efficacy is measured by: 1) PET, CT & physical exam, 2) overall response rate (complete response=disease is gone, partial response=disease has improved). Study treatment continues as long as the cancer is stable & side effects are tolerable.

    Measured: every other cycle of 28 days each

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Duration of response defined as: 1)the time of first documented objective response (either complete response or partial response) until the subject's disease gets worse, 2)how long his/her disease is stable.

    Measured: 28 days after the last study drug

Timeline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MGCD0103 and Azacitidine in people with Hodgkin Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (Follicular or Large Diffuse B-cell Lymphoma or Mantle Cell Lymphoma), run by Mirati Therapeutics Inc. at 4 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 7 inclusion and 15 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 1 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Primary efficacy is measured by: 1) PET, CT & physical exam, 2) overall response rate (complete response=disease is gone, partial response=disease has improved). Study treatment continues as long as the cancer is stable & side effects are tolerable. (time frame: every other cycle of 28 days each). 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 1 Jul 2015.
