About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multi-center Phase I Dose-finding Study of RAD001 (Everolimus, Afinitor®) in Combination With BEZ235 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Study has two parts:

  1. Dose-finding: to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RAD001 (everolimus , Afinitor®) in combination with BEZ235 in patients with advanced solid tumors.
  2. Dose-expansion: to assess safety and tolerability of RAD001 and BEZ235 at the MTD in patients with ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer and metastatic renal cell cancer

What participants receive

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

  • RAD001 + BEZ235Drug

    Also called Afinitor

    RAD001 is formulated as tablets of 2.5 mg and 5 mg strength, blistered in units of 10 tablets (for oral use) each. Blisters should be opened only at the time of dministration as the drug is both hygroscopic and light-sensitive. RAD001 should be administered immediately after a meal with a large glass of water. BEZ235 is supplied as 50-mg, 200-mg, 300-mg and 400-mg sachets (for oral use). BEZ235 is packaged in aluminum foil bags. Bags are packaged in a box. Patients will receive RAD001 in combination with BEZ235.

Study groups in NCT01482156
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
RAD001 + BEZ235ExperimentalPatients will receive first dose of RAD001 at 2.5mg/5mg/10 mg weekly or 2.5mg/5mg daily in combination of BEZ235 at 50 mg/100 mg/200 mg/300 mg/400 mg twice a day. In the initial cohort of the dose finding phase, patients will receive a single 2.5 mg dose of RAD001 on Cycle 1 Day 1 and the combination therapy of RAD001 2.5 mg/week and BEZ235 200 mg bid starting on Cycle 1 Day 8. Dose escalation phase: patients will start RAD001 and BEZ235 on Cycle 1 Day 1 with both study drugs being administered at the center. Dose expansion phase: the first 15 patients enrolled at selected sites will take RAD001 as monotherapy from Day 1 to Day 7 (for PK sampling). The combination therapy of RAD001 and BEZ235 will start on Day 8. All remaining patients will receive the combination therapy of RAD001 and BEZ235 starting on Cycle 1 Day 1.
Receives: Drug: RAD001 + BEZ235

What is being measured

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

  1. Probability of a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) by the end of the first treatment cycle (DLT)

    The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the dose limiting toxicities during the first cycle of treatment

    Measured: First treatment cycle (28 days)

  2. Incidence of DLT in patients by the end of the first treatment cycle in the co-administration of RAD001 and BEZ235

    Frequency of DLTs during the first cycle of treatment

    Measured: First treatment cycle (28 days)

  3. Number of participants with adverse events and serious adverse events.

    Measured by abnormal safety laboratory parameters, changes in electrocardiograms (ECGs), changes in vital signs and changes in physical examination parameters.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time versus blood concentration profiles

    Analysis of pharmacokinetic parameters in blood samples

    Measured: First treatment cycle ( 28 days)

  2. Overall Response Rate (ORR) (Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR)) according to local assessments by RECIST 1.0 for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in dose expansion phase

    CT or MRI imaging parameters to determine the overall response rate (complete response, partial response, stable disease, or progressive disease) according to the RECIST 1.0 criteria.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Progresive Free Survival (PFS) according to local assessments by RECIST 1.0 for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in dose expansion phase

    CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging parameters to determine the PFS according to the RECIST 1.0 criteria

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Duration of response (DoR) according to local assessments by RECIST 1.0 for RCC and MBC in dose expansion phase

    CT or MRI imaging parameters to determine the duration of response according to the RECIST 1.0 criteria

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing RAD001 + BEZ235 in people with Advanced Solid Tumors and Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 10 sites in 7 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 7 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 21 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States, France, Belgium, Italy, New Zealand and 2 more countries. 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?

Probability of a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) by the end of the first treatment cycle (DLT) (time frame: First treatment cycle (28 days)). The study lists 3 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 21 Dec 2020.
