About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Linsitinib (Anti-IGF-1R/IR) in Patients With Relapsed and/or Refractory Ewing Sarcoma

This is an international, multi-centre, single arm Bayesian designed phase 2 study to identify and determine the safety and activity of anti-IGF-1/IR inhibition in patients with relapsed and/or refractory ESFT. Approximately 40 patients will be recruited from 5-7 European centres. Each patient will be treated with single agent linsitinib, 600 mg orally once a day for days 1-3, 8-10 and 15-17 on a 21 day cycle until disease progression or undue toxicity.

Read the detailed description

An important development in ES has been the identification of IGF-1R pathway dependency. The reasons for the remarkable single agent efficacy observed in a small subset of patients remains unknown, as is the relative lack of efficacy in the majority of patients. There may be heterogeneity in response due to partial signal pathway inhibition at the tumour level, inherent resistance in ES cells or the presence of alternative pathway activation through IR-A receptor signalling.

Here we aim to establish pharmacodynamic responses in ES tumours using functional imaging 18FDG-PET-CT and repeat post treatment biopsy for biomarker responses, toxicity and clinical outcome to the dual anti-IGF-1R/IR kinase blocking single agent linsitinib.

This is a single arm phase 2 study utilising adaptive Bayesian analysis. Approximately 40 patients will be recruited the national bone sarcoma centre in 5 EU countries over 18 months.

Eligible patients will take 4x 150 mg tablets once a day, days 1-3 of the week followed by 4 days off - repeated for 3 weeks = one treatment cycle. Patients can remain on treatment for as long as they gain clinical benefit.

The primary objectives are to determine the effect of linsitinib on the patient's tumours in terms of changes in biomarker and PET scans and to establish the safety of the trial drug (linsitinib) in Ewing sarcoma at the dose and treatment schedule being used in the trial.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With a Metabolic Response as Evaluated by PERCIST v1.0

    Metabolic response measured by PERCIST v1.0 using SULpeak. This methodology used SULpeak to measure change in glucose uptake in the tumour.

    Complete Metabolic Response - Complete resolution of 18F-FDG uptake within measurable target lesion so that it is less than mean liver activity and indistinguishable from surrounding background blood-pool levels.

    Partial Metabolic Response - Reduction of minimum of 30% in target measurable tumour 18F-FDG SULpeak. Absolute drop in SUL must be at least 0.8 SUL units, as well. No new lesions.

    Positive Metabolic Response - Participants having either "Complete Metabolic Response" or "Partial Metabolic Response".

    Stable Metabolic Disease - Not CMR, PMR or PMD. Progressive metabolic disease - Increase of more than 30% in 18F-FDG SUL peak. OR: Visible increase in extent of 18F-FDG tumour uptake (75% in TLG volume with no decline in SUL. OR: New 18F-FDG-avid lesions that are typical of cancer and not related to treatment effect or infection.

    Measured: Pre- and Post- dose responses following 1 cycle (21 days) of treatment

  2. Number of Participants With a Toxic Event

    A patient is defined as having a toxic event if they experienced at least one grade 3 adverse event (CTCAE v4.0 grade)

    Measured: Following 6 cycles of treatment (up to 6 months)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Clinical Outcome (PFS, DSS)

    To determine the clinical outcome through assessment of

    • Progression free survival; where length of survival is defined in whole days as the time from entry into the study until Ewing sarcoma progression or death from any cause. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), 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.
    • Disease specific survival; where length of survival is defined in whole days as the time from entry into the study until death from Ewing sarcoma.

    Measured: Duration of study (up to 18 months)

  2. Pharmacokinetics Assays of Following Linsitinib Treatment (Plasma Concentrations of Linsitinib)

    Plasma concentrations of linsitinib (ng/ml).

    Samples were taken 3 hours post-dose at Cycle 1 days 1,15,17, Cycle 2 day 3, Cycle 3 days 1 and 3, Cycle 4 day 1, Cycle 5 day 1, Cycle 6 day 1, and End of Treatment (this could occur at anytime during the 6 cycles).

    Measured: Cycle 1 days 1,15,17, Cycle 2 day 3, Cycle 3 days 1 and 3, Cycle 4 day 1, Cycle 5 day 1, Cycle 6 day 1 and End of Treatment.0

  3. Number of Participants With a Radiological Response as Evaluated by RECIST v1.1

    Radiological response measured using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1)

    Per RECIST for target lesions and assessed by CT: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD), >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; Stable disease (SD), Not CR, PR or PD.

    Measured: Measured cycle 1 day 15, cycle 3 and cycle 6

  4. Number of Participants With a Metabolic Response as Evaluated by EORTC 1.0

    Metabolic response measured by PERCIST v1.0 using SULpeak. This methodology used SULpeak to measure change in glucose uptake in the tumour.

    Complete Metabolic Response - Complete resolution of 18F-FDG uptake within measurable target lesion so that it is less than mean liver activity and indistinguishable from surrounding background blood-pool levels.

    Partial Metabolic Response - Reduction of minimum of 30% in target measurable tumour 18F-FDG SULpeak. Absolute drop in SUL must be at least 0.8 SUL units, as well. No new lesions.

    Positive Metabolic Response - Participants having either "Complete Metabolic Response" or "Partial Metabolic Response".

    Stable Metabolic Disease - Not CMR, PMR or PMD. Progressive metabolic disease - Increase of more than 30% in 18F-FDG SUL peak. OR: Visible increase in extent of 18F-FDG tumour uptake (75% in TLG volume with no decline in SUL. OR: New 18F-FDG-avid lesions that are typical of cancer and not related to treatment effect or infection.

    Measured: Measured cycle 1 day 15

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 3 Jun 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?

Number of Participants With a Metabolic Response as Evaluated by PERCIST v1.0 (time frame: Pre- and Post- dose responses following 1 cycle (21 days) of treatment). The study lists 2 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?
