About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib/II Study of BGJ398 in Combination Modified FOLFIRINOX in Treatment-Naïve Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Patients

This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of pan fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) kinase inhibitor BGJ398 when given together with fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride and oxaliplatin (combination chemotherapy) in treating patients with untreated pancreatic cancer that has spread to another place in the body. Pan FGFR kinase inhibitor BGJ398 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pan FGFR kinase inhibitor BGJ398 together with fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride and oxaliplatin may be a better treatment for pancreatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine dose-limiting toxicity, the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose of BGJ398 (pan FGFR kinase inhibitor BGJ398) administered in combination with modified (m)FOLFIRINOX (fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride and oxaliplatin) in patients with advanced pancreatic and colorectal cancer patients. (Phase Ib)

II. To determine the 6-month overall survival rate of patients with treatment-naïve metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma treated with BGJ398 plus mFOLFIRINOX. (Phase II)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the pharmacokinetic profile of BGJ398, fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, irinotecan (irinotecan hydrochloride) and their metabolites when administered in combination and explore for drug-drug interactions. (Phase Ib)

II. To determine the 1-year overall survival rate, response rate, progression free survival and cancer antigen (CA)19-9 changes in treatment-naïve metastatic pancreatic cancer patients treated with BGJ398 plus mFOLFIRINOX. (Phase II)

III. To determine the safety and tolerability of BGJ398 in combination with mFOLFIRINOX in the study population.

IV. To explore plasma and tumor biomarkers associated with efficacy to the study combination.

OUTLINE: This is a phase Ib, dose-escalation study of pan FGFR kinase inhibitor BGJ398 followed by a phase II study.

Patients receive oxaliplatin intravenously (IV) over 2 hours, irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 90 minutes, and fluorouracil IV continuously over 46 hours on days 1 and 15. Patients also receive pan FGFR kinase inhibitor BGJ398 orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 8-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 28 days and then every 4 months for up to 2 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 (Phase Ib)

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  2. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose of BGJ398 in combination with mFOLFIRINOX, defined as the dose with a probability of DLT of 0.30 graded according to the NCI CTCAE version 4.0 (Phase Ib)

    The MTD will be estimated using isotonic regression (cumulative cohort design).

    Measured: 28 days

  3. Overall survival (Phase II)

    The overall survival will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier methods, from which an estimate of the 6-month survival rate and corresponding standard error will be obtained using the methods proposed by Breslow and Day.

    Measured: Time from the start of the study treatment until death, last follow-up or drop-out, assessed at 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)

  1. Changes in CA19-9 expression levels (Phase II)

    The CA19-9 expression will be reported by time as mean, median, standard deviation, and percentiles. Changes in expression will be evaluated using the paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test, as appropriate.

    Measured: Baseline to 2 years

  2. Incidence of adverse events graded according to the NCI CTCAE version 4.0

    The frequency of toxicities will be tabulated by grade across all dose levels and cycles. The frequency of toxicities will also be tabulated for the dose estimated to be the MTD and RP2D in phase Ib.

    Measured: Up to 28 days after completion of study treatment

  3. Objective tumor response (Phase II)

    The objective tumor responses will be reported as frequencies and relative frequencies, with the response rates estimated with Clopper-Pearson 95% confidence intervals.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  4. Progression free survival (Phase II)

    The progression free survival will be summarized using standard Kaplan-Meier methods, with estimates of median survival and given survival rates (i.e., 1 year) will be obtained with 95% confidence intervals.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  5. Potential associations between response rate and tumor biomarkers (Phase II)

    Will be evaluated using logistic regression models and associated exact methods.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Fluorouracil, Irinotecan Hydrochloride and Laboratory Biomarker Analysis in people with Colon Adenocarcinoma and Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute at 1 site 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 18 inclusion and 46 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 combined 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.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 (Phase Ib) (time frame: Up to 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02575508.

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 20 May 2016.
