About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Multi-center, Open-label Study of LEE011 in Patients With Malignant Rhabdoid Tumors and Neuroblastoma

LEE011 is a small molecule inhibitor of CDK4/6. LEE011 has demonstrated in vitro and in vivo activity in both tumor models. The primary purpose of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended dose for expansion (RDE) in pediatric patients and to delineate a clinical dose to be used in future studies. This study was also to have assessed the safety, tolerability, PK and preliminary evidence of antitumor activity of LEE011 in patients with MRT or neuroblastoma.

Read the detailed description

Due to lack of efficacy, enrollment in the study was stopped at the end of dose escalation (sites were notified of the early enrollment halt on 7-Aug-2014) and the dose-expansion part was not conducted. Due to halted enrollment and/or lack of complete responses (CR) and partial responses (PR), efficacy analysis was only performed in terms of TTP for the patients treated during the dose-escalation part at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose expansion (RDE).

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence Rate of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) by Primary System Organ Class, Preferred Term and Treatment

    A DLT was defined as an AE or clinically significant abnormal laboratory value assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications that occurred within the first 28 days of treatment with LEE011 and met any of the predefined criteria. For the purpose of dose-escalation decisions, DLTs were considered and included in the Bayesian Logistic Regression Model (BLRM). Patients who did not experience DLT during the first cycle were considered to have had sufficient safety evaluations if they were observed for ≥ 28 days following the first dose and were considered to have had enough safety data to conclude that a DLT did not occur. Patients who did not meet these minimum safety evaluation requirements were regarded as ineligible for the DDS. A patient with multiple DLTs within a primary system organ class is counted only once in the total row.

    Measured: cycle 1 = 28 days (from the time of first dose)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Overall Response Rate

    This analysis was not done as there were no responders.

    Measured: Every 2 cycles (cycle = 28 days) up to end of treatment, the maximum time a patient was on study was 1311 days

  2. Time to Disease Progression (TTP) Per RECIST 1.1

    TTP was assessed per Investigator, for the malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) \& neuroblastoma patients for the pooled maximum tolerated dose (MTD) \& recommended dose for expansion (RDE) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria using Kaplan-Meier method. Time to progression (TTP) is the time from date of randomization/start of treatment to the date of event defined as the first documented progression or death due to underlying cancer. If a patient had not had an event, time to progression was censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment. At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.

    Measured: Every 2 cycles (cycle = 28 days) up to end of treatment, the maximum time a patient was on study was 1311 days

  3. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Assess the anti-tumor activity of LEE011 by RECIST 1.1. DOR was not assessed.

    Measured: Every 2 cycles (cycle = 28 days) up to end of treatment, the maximum time a patient was on study was 1311 days

  4. Pharmacokinetics (PK) Parameter: AUC0-24

    The AUC calculated to the end of a dosing interval (tau) following single dose or at steady-state (amount x time x volume-1). PK parameters were estimated from individual plasma concentration-time profiles using noncompartmental methods in Phoenix WinNonlin.

    Measured: 0,1, 2, 4, 8 hours post dose Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1) and Cycle 1 Day 15 (C1D15)

  5. Pharmacokinetics (PK) Parameter: Cmax

    Cmax is the maximum (peak) observed plasma, blood, serum, or other body fluid drug concentration after single dose administration or at steady-state (mass x volume-1). PK parameters were estimated from individual plasma concentration-time profiles using noncompartmental methods in Phoenix WinNonlin

    Measured: C1D1, C1D15

  6. Pharmacokinetics (PK) Parameter: Tmax

    Tmax is the time to reach maximum (peak) plasma, blood, serum, or other body fluid drug concentration after single dose administration or at steady-state (time). PK parameters were estimated from individual plasma concentration-time profiles using noncompartmental methods in Phoenix WinNonlin.

    Measured: C1D1, C1D15

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Feb 2019). 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?

Incidence Rate of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) by Primary System Organ Class, Preferred Term and Treatment (time frame: cycle 1 = 28 days (from the time of first dose)). 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?
