About this study
Official title: A Phase 2 Study of ARQ 197 in Metastatic Triple-negative Breast Cancer
This phase II trial studies how well tivantinib works in treating patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. Tivantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate the activity of tivantinib (ARQ-197) as defined by 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) of participants with triple-negative metastatic breast cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate objective response based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria.
II. To evaluate c-Met and phospho c-Met expression in archival tumor tissue. (Exploratory) III. To evaluate the incidence of c-Met-positive circulating tumor cells at baseline. (Exploratory) IV. To evaluate the effect of ARQ-197 on serum markers relevant to c-Met pathway (hepatocyte growth factor [HGF] and vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF]). (Exploratory) V. To evaluate phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) loss and PI3K mutations in archival tumor tissue. (Exploratory) VI. To evaluate proportion of participants with basal-like breast cancer. (Exploratory)
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive tivantinib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo blood sample collection at baseline and periodically during study for c-Met expression, relevant markers (HGF and VEGF), PTEN loss, and PI3K mutation analysis by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Archived tumor tissue samples are also analyzed.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
PFS Status
Analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. 95% confidence intervals (CI) will be determined. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), 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: Time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, assessed up to 6 months
Secondary outcomes (4)
Overall Response Using RECIST v1.1
The 95% confidence intervals should be provided. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by Conventional CT or MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >/=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
Measured: Up to 1 year
To Evaluate c-Met Expression in Archival Tumor Tissue.
Assessment of ploidy status was done by visual screening of all tumor area; cells with maximum number of signals were recorded. MET amplification was defined as a MET/CEP7 ratio ≥ 2. Samples having a MET/CEP7 ratio from 1.5 and up to 2 were defined as having relative MET gain. Samples with a MET/CEP7 ratio of 1 but with more than two copies of each probe were defined as having polysomy of chromosome 7.
Measured: Baseline
To Evaluate Phospho c-Met Expression in Archival Tumor Tissue.
MET amplification was defined as a MET/CEP7 ratio ≥ 2. Samples having a MET/CEP7 ratio from 1.5 and up to 2 were defined as having relative MET gain. Samples with a MET/CEP7 ratio of 1 but with more than two copies of each probe were defined as having polysomy of chromosome 7.
Measured: Baseline
To Evaluate the Incidence of c-Met Positive Circulating Tumor Cells.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Tivantinib in people with Estrogen Receptor Negative and HER2/Neu Negative, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 2 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 23 inclusion and 12 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 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 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 21 Mar 2016). 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?
PFS Status (time frame: Time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, assessed up to 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 NCT01575522, 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 Mar 2016.
