About this study
Official title: A Phase 2 Study of Linsitinib (OSI-906) in Pediatric and Adult Wild Type Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
This phase II trial studies how well linsitinib works in treating younger and adult patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Linsitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the response rate to treatment with OSI-906 (linsitinib) 150mg BID in patients with advanced wild-type (WT) gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the clinical benefit rate (CBR) (stable disease [SD] >= 9 months, partial response [PR], or complete response [CR]) in patients with advanced WT GIST treated with OSI-906.
II. To determine the response duration, progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced WT GIST treated with OSI-906.
III. To determine the tolerability and adverse event profile of OSI-906 in patients with advanced GIST.
IV. To explore patterns of protein expression in serum and tumor tissues as predictors of response and progression-free survival (PFS) in advanced WT GIST treated with OSI-906.
- To evaluate the metabolic response to OSI-906 using fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET).
VI. To determine if tumor metabolic response correlates with anatomic response and clinical benefit.
VII. To measure changes in tumor metabolism by FDG-PET qualitatively and semi-quantitatively with standard uptake value (SUV) and tumor body ratio (TBR) from baseline to first computed tomography (CT)-response evaluation and correlate the findings with size changes as defined by conventional cross-sectional imaging scans.
VIII. To investigate correlations between glucose, insulin, and candidate tumor tissue and blood biomarkers with FDG-PET metabolic response.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive linsitinib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days, every 12 weeks for 2 years, and then annually thereafter.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Complete Response or Partial Response Using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Guideline Version 1.1
Determine the response rate, Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), to treatment with linsitinib (OSI-906) in patients with advanced wild-type (WT) gastrointestional stromal tumor (GIST) as determined by RECIST 1.1.
Measured: At 6 months
Secondary outcomes (10)
Clinical Benefit Rate Defined as Stable Disease (SD) >= 9 Months, Partial Response (PR) or Complete Response (CR)
Prolonged non-progression is of clinical benefit (CR + PR + SD at 9 months).
Measured: Up to 2 years
Overall Survival (OS)
Analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves for the all treated and per protocol populations.
Measured: Estimates at 9 months
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves for the all treated and per protocol populations.
Measured: Time from date of enrollment to time of progression or death due to any cause, estimates at 9 months
Response Duration
Analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves for the all treated and per protocol populations.
Measured: Up to 37 weeks
Failure-free Survival
Analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves for the all treated and per protocol populations
Measured: Up to 37 weeks
Tolerability and Adverse Event Profile of Linsitinib
To determine the tolerability and adverse event profile of OSI-906 in patients with advanced GIST.
Measured: Up to 37 weeks
Patterns of Protein Expression in Serum and Tumor Tissues as Predictors of Response and PFS
To explore patterns of protein expression in serum and tumor tissues as predictors of response and progression-free survival in advanced WT GIST treated with OSI-906. All Insulin Growth Factor Receptor (IGFR) and phosphorylated AKT (pAKT) evaluation was performed in a blinded manner. Distribution and intensity of positive tumor cell staining was assessed for these markers. Loss of succinate dehydrogenase complex flavoprotein subunit A (SDHA) protein expression has been correlated with the presence of a mutation in SDHA. Loss of succinate dehydrogenase complex iron sulfur subunit B (SDHB) protein expression occurs from bi-allelic inactivation of any of the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) subunit genes. Loss of expression of one member of the complex alters the structure or production of SDH proteins such that the complex is no longer able to form. This results in elevated intracellular levels of succinate as well as loss of demethylase activity.
Measured: Up to 37 weeks
Number of Participants With Metabolic Response to Linsitinib Using FDG-PET.
Evaluate the number of participants with metabolic response to OSI-906 using fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET). Evaluation of metabolic response to linsitinib based on two criteria (EORTC and PERCIST).
Measured: Up to 37 weeks
Changes in Tumor Metabolism by FDG-PET Qualitatively and Semi-quantitatively With Standard Uptake Value (SUV)
To measure changes in tumor metabolism by FDG-PET qualitatively and semi-quantitatively with SUV from baseline to first CT response evaluation and correlate the findings with size changes as defined by conventional cross-sectional imaging scans.
SUVmax determined by: SUVmax = [VOI activity (mCi/ml) * body wt (g)]/injected dose (mCi) SUVpeak determined by identifying the hottest cubic centimeter within a VOI centered on the lesion with the highest FDG.
Measured: Baseline and 8 weeks
Correlations Between Glucose, Insulin, Tumor Tissue and Blood Biomarkers With FDG-PET Metabolic Response.
To investigate correlations between glucose, insulin, tumor tissue and blood biomarkers with FDG-PET metabolic response.
Measured: Up to 37 weeks

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 21 inclusion and 18 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 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 8 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Jan 2017). 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 Complete Response or Partial Response Using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Guideline Version 1.1 (time frame: At 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01560260, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 Sep 2018.
