About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study of ABT-888 (Veliparib) in Combination With Weekly Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Advanced Solid Tumors

This phase I clinical trial studies the side effects and the best dose of veliparib when given together with carboplatin and paclitaxel in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by blocking them from dividing. Giving veliparib with carboplatin and paclitaxel may work better in treating patients with solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of weekly carboplatin, paclitaxel, and veliparib.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the safety, tolerability, and MTD of the combination of weekly carboplatin, paclitaxel, and veliparib.

II. To assess the safety and toxicity of this combination as determined by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (CTCAE v. 4.0) and to determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT).

III. To determine the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects of this combination, including determinations of poly (adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase (PAR) in tumor specimens when available, assessment of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage as measured by gamma H2A histone family, member X (g-H2AX) in skin biopsies and tumor specimens will be obtained.

IV. To assess characteristics of primary tumor specimens that may contribute to efficacy of this combination including breast cancer, early onset (BRCA) by immunohistochemistry, gene analysis of PARP 1, PARP 2, BRCA, and triple negative and homologous recombination repair (HRR) deficiency gene expression signatures.

  1. To document any anti-tumor response.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of veliparib.

DOSE-ESCALATION: Patients receive veliparib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-5, 8-12, and 15-19 and paclitaxel IV over 1 hour and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes in course 1 and 3 hours in subsequent courses on days 3, 10, and 17. After 4 courses, patients receive paclitaxel and carboplatin on days 3 and 10 only. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. (Completed as of 12/2012)

EXPANSION COHORT: Patients receive veliparib PO BID on days 1-21 and paclitaxel IV over 1 hour and carboplatin IV over 3 hours on days 3 and 10. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up for 4 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. MTD defined as the dose level one level below the lowest dose where greater than or equal to 2 patients experience a DLT assessed by National Cancer Institute (NCI) CTCAE v. 4.0

    Measured: 21 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change in BRCA protein levels by immunohistochemistry

    Calculated and compared using the Wilcoxon rank sum test.

    Measured: Baseline to day 4 of course 2

  2. Change in PAR and g-H2AX in tumor tissue

    Assessed with Wilcoxon signed rank tests.

    Measured: Baseline to day 4 of course 2

  3. Grade >= 3 non-hematological or any grade 5 DLTs as graded by the NCI CTCAE v. 4.0

    Statistics on the number of cycles received by patients and any dose reductions will be tabulated.

    Measured: 21 days

  4. Incidence of adverse events as graded by the NCI CTCAE v. 4.0

    The maximum grade of toxicity for each category of interest will be recorded for each patient and the summary results will be tabulated by category and grade.

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks post-treatment

  5. Plasma concentration of carboplatin, paclitaxel, and veliparib using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) assay and spectrometry assay

    Measured: Baseline, at 30 minutes and at 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours on day 3 of course 1

  6. Response complete response [Cr], partial response [PR], and stable disease [SD]) using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline (version 1.1)

    CR, PR, and incidence of SD will be tabulated by disease diagnosis and by dose level.

    Measured: Up to 4 weeks post-treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Carboplatin, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Paclitaxel in people with Adult Solid Neoplasm and Estrogen Receptor Negative, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 3 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 27 inclusion and 10 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 25 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 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?

MTD defined as the dose level one level below the lowest dose where greater than or equal to 2 patients experience a DLT assessed by National Cancer Institute (NCI) CTCAE v. 4.0 (time frame: 21 days). 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 25 May 2015.
