What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events

    Assessment of safety of napabucasin administered in participants with advanced malignancies for whom weekly paclitaxel was an acceptable option by reporting of adverse events and serious adverse events

    Measured: The time from the date of first treatment, while the patient is taking napabucasin, and for 30 days after stopping therapy, an average of 4 months.

  2. Determination of the Recommended Phase 2 Dose by Assessing Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    Determination of the Recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of napabucasin when administered with paclitaxel in patients with advanced malignancies.

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Determination of the Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) and Area Under the Plasma Concentration vs. Time Curve (AUClast)

    To determine the maximum concentration of napabucasin and the area under the plasma concentration vs. time curve of napabucasin when administered in combination with weekly paclitaxel

    Measured: Blood samples drawn on days 16 and 17 of the first study cycle

  2. Preliminary Anti-tumor Activity of BBI608 When Administered in Combination With Paclitaxel in Patients With Advanced Malignancies

    To assess the preliminary anti-tumor activity, specifically the objective response rate (ORR) of napabucasin administered in combination with paclitaxel. The Objective Response Rate (ORR) is the proportion of participants with a complete response or partial response who have measurable disease at baseline imaging.

    Measured: From the date of first treatment, every 8 weeks, until the date of first documented objective disease progression, for an anticipated average of six months

  3. The Objective Response Rate of Napabucasin Administered in Combination With Paclitaxel in Patients With Advanced Malignancies

    Assessment of the objective response rate (ORR) of napabucasin administered in combination with paclitaxel in patients with advanced malignancies.

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; The Objective Response Rate (ORR) is the proportion of participants with a complete response or partial response.

    Measured: From the date of first treatment, every 8 weeks, until the date of first documented objective disease progression, up to 60 months

  4. Disease Control Rate

    To determine the disease control rate (CDR) of napabucasin administered in combination with paclitaxel in patients with advanced malignancies.

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD), neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD. The Disease Control Rate (DCR) is the proportion of patients whose best overall response is CR, PR or SD.

    Measured: From the date of first treatment, every 8 weeks, until the date of first documented objective disease progression, up to 60 months.

  5. Progression Free Survival of Patients With Advanced Malignancies

    The effect of napabucasin given in combination with paclitaxel on Progression Free Survival (PFS) of patients with advanced malignancies.

    Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions

    Measured: The time from the date of first treatment to the date of first documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause, up to 60 months

  6. Overall Survival of Patients With Advanced Malignancies

    The effect of napabucasin given in combination with paclitaxel on Overall Survival (OS) of patients with advanced malignancies

    Measured: 4 weeks after the patient has been off study treatment, every 3 months up to 18 months, then every 6 months thereafter until death, up to 118 months

  7. Pharmacodynamics

    To determine the response (increase or decrease) of biomarkers from biopsied tumors following the administration of napabucasin

    Measured: Day 17 of cycle 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing BBI608 and Paclitaxel in people with Cancer, run by Sumitomo Pharma America, Inc. at 22 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 20 inclusion and 9 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 15 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 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 combined 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Feb 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events (time frame: The time from the date of first treatment, while the patient is taking napabucasin, and for 30 days after stopping therapy, an average of 4 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 15 Nov 2023.
