About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Study of the Combination of BKM120 and Bevacizumab in Patients With Refractory Solid Tumors (Phase I) and Relapsed/Refractory Glioblastoma Multiforme (Phase II)

In this phase I/II study,investigators are evaluating the feasibility and efficacy of the combination of BKM120, an oral inhibitor of PI3 kinase, and bevacizumab in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory GBM. In the Phase I part of the trial, the optimal BKM120 dose to be administered with a standard dose of bevacizumab will be determined in patients with refractory solid tumors. Although it is unlikely that the concurrent administration of bevacizumab will alter the pharmacokinetics of BKM120, limited pharmacokinetic sampling will be performed on all patients treated during the Phase II portion of the study. Assuming this combination is feasible, the Phase II portion of the study will proceed, using the doses determined in the Phase I portion. In the phase II portion, eligible patients will be limited to those with recurrent/progressive GBM following 1st line combined modality therapy.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, non-randomized Phase I study of patients with advanced refractory solid tumors followed by a Phase II study for the second-line treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory glioblastoma multiforme.

In the phase I part of the study the optimal dose of BKM120 when combined with bevacizumab was determined. In the Phase II part of this study, patients with relapsed/refractory GBM following first line therapy are being treated with the BKM120/bevacizumab combination. Limited BKM120 pharmacokinetic evaluation will be performed on all patients treated during this part of the study. Patients will be reevaluated for response to treatment after 2 cycles (8 weeks). Patients with objective response or stable disease will continue treatment, with subsequent reevaluations every 8 weeks, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

Two populations of patients with relapsed/refractory GBM will be treated in the Phase II trial: 1) patients with no previous exposure to bevacizumab (N= 55) and 2) patients who received bevacizumab as part of first-line combined modality treatment (N= 20).

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Phase I Patients Receiving 60mg or 80mg BKM120 Experiencing a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) to Determine the Optimal Dosage

    The optimal dose of BKM120 to administer in combination with standard dose bevacizumab determined as the dose at which ≤1 of 6 patients experiences a DLT assessed using NCI CTCAE v4.03 during Cycle 1 (28 days). The optimal dose of BKM120 was determined to be 60 mg by mouth (PO), once a day for each 28 day cycle along with bevacizumab, administered 10 mg/kg intravenously (IV) on Day 1 and Day 15 of each 28 day cycle.

    Measured: Collected from day of first dose to the end of the first treatment cycle, up to 28 days

  2. Median Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in Phase II Participants - Prior Bevacizumab and Bevacizumab Naive

    Two groups of patients in the Phase II trial will be considered separately, 1) participants who have not received previous bevacizumab and 2) participants who have received bevacizumab as part of first-line treatment. PFS is measured from the date of first protocol treatment until date of disease progression or death occurs, or date of last adequate tumor assessment using RANO or McDonald criteria. McDonald disease progression criteria: a 25% or greater increase in sum of the diameters of lesions, new lesions, or clinical deterioration (McDonald et al, 1990). RANO disease progression criteria: a 25% or greater increase in the enhancing lesions sum compared with smallest tumor measurement, significant increase in T2/FLAIR nonenhancing lesion on stable or increasing corticosteroids, new lesions, or clinical deterioration (Wen et al 2010)

    Measured: every 8 weeks for up to 33 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall Response (CR or PR) of Phase II Participants - Prior Bevacizumab and Bevacizumab Naive

    Two groups of participants in the Phase II trial will be considered separately, 1) those who have not received previous bevacizumab and 2) those who have received bevacizumab as part of first-line treatment. Overall Response (OR) = number of patients with complete or partial responses (CR or PR) per McDonald or RANO criteria. McDonald: CR as disappearance of all disease for at least four weeks, no new lesions, no steroids; PR as 50% or greater decrease in the sum of all lesions compared with baseline for at least four weeks, no new lesions, stable or reduced steroids (McDonald 1990). RANO: CR as disappearance of all disease for at least 4 weeks, no new lesions, stable or improved nonenhancing lesions, and no steroid usage; and PR as a 50% or greater decrease in the sum of all lesions compared with baseline measurement for at least four weeks, no new lesions, stable or improved nonenhancing lesions on same or lower steroid dose compared to baseline (Wen 2010).

    Measured: every 8 weeks, projected 24 months

  2. Median Overall Survival (OS) in Phase II Participants - Prior Bevacizumab and Bevacizumab Naive

    Two groups of patients in the Phase II trial will be considered separately, 1) participants who have not received previous bevacizumab and 2) participants who have received bevacizumab as part of first-line treatment. Overall survival is measured as the interval from first study treatment until date of death, or date last known alive.

    Measured: every 12 weeks for up to 60 months

  3. Number of Participants With Grade 3/4/5 Serious Adverse Events and Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    Defined as the number of participants with treatment-emergent grade 3/4/5 adverse events/serious adverse events utilizing the National Cancer Institute Common Technology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v4.03

    Measured: every 4 weeks for up to 5.2 years

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 31 Jan 2018). 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?
