About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b, Open-label, Dose Escalation Study Investigating Different Doses of SGI-110 in Combination With Ipilimumab in Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma Patients

Thi pahse I, dose-escalation trial will determine the MTD, safety and the additional benefit achieved from adding SGI-110 to ipilimumab therapy in metastatic melanoma patients. Preclinical evidence generated with SGI-110 in vivo demonstrated that besides having a direct activity on tumor growth as a single agent, SGI-110 was able to "sensitize" neoplastic cells to the anti-tumor activity of CTLA-4 blockade, providing a sound scientific rationale to develop new immunotherapeutic approaches combining SGI-110 with therapeutic mAb to immune check-points.

Read the detailed description

Epigenetic alterations play a pivotal role in cancer development and progression. Pharmacologic reversion of such alterations is feasible, and second generation "epigenetic drugs" are in development and have demonstrated to possess significant immunomodulatory properties. This knowledge, together with the availability of new and highly effective immuno-therapeutic agents including immune check-point(s) blocking monoclonal antibodies, allows us to plan for highly innovative proof-of-principle combination studies that will likely open the path to more effective anti-cancer therapies.

Targeting immune check-point(s) with immunomodulatory monoclonal antibody (mAb) is a novel and rapidly evolving strategy to treat cancer, that is rapidly spreading to different tumor histologies. The prototype approach of this therapeutic modality relies on the inhibition of negative signals delivered by CTLA-4 expressed on T lymphocytes. CTLA-4 blockade has profoundly changed the therapeutic landscape of metastatic melanoma (MM), significantly improving the survival of MM patients; however, objective clinical responses are limited, and only a minority of patients achieves long-term disease control.1 Therefore, several combination approaches are being explored to improve the efficacy of CTLA-4 blockade. Along this line, based on the preclinical evidence the investigators gained on the broad immunomodulatory activity of SGI-110, the exploratory phase 1 combination study NIBIT-M4 has been designed to provide proof-of-concept evidence to the immunologic and clinical efficacy of CTLA-4 blockade combined with DNA-HypomethylatingAgent (DHA). Progressing Stage III or Stage IV MM patients, amenable to serial tumor biopsies will be enrolled in the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of SGI-110 in combination with ipilimumab

    The primary objective is to determine the MTD of SGI-110 in combination with ipilimumab in 21 day cycles in melanoma patients. Endpoints related to this objective include an evaluation of Dose Limiting Toxicity(s). The MTD evaluation will be based on the DLT evaluable population.

    Measured: the first 3 weeks of treatment

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Immune-related Disease Control Rate (irDCR)

    Immune-related Disease Control Rate (irDCR) is the proportion of treated subjects with an immune-related Best Overall Responce (ir-BOR) of confirmed irCR, confirmed irPR or irSD.

    Measured: weeks 24

  2. Immune-related Objective Response Rate (irORR)

    Immune-related Objective Response Rate (irORR) is the proportion of treated subjects with a irBOR of confirmed irCR or confirmed irPR.

    Measured: weeks 24

  3. Immune-related Time to Response (irTTR)

    Immune-related Time to Response (irTTR) is defined as the time from first dosing date until the measurement criteria are first met for overall response of irPR or irCR (whichever status comes first, and provided it is subsequently confirmed).

    Measured: weeks 24

  4. Immune-related Duration of Response (irDoR)

    Immune-related Duration of Response (irDoR) for the subjects whose irBOR is irCR or irPR will be defined as the time between the date of response of confirmed irCR or confirmed irPR (whichever occurs first) and the date of irPD or death (whichever occurs first). The onset of a confirmed irCR or irPR is determined by the initial assessment of response, not by the confirmatory assessment. Note that if an assessment of irPR occurs before confirmation of irCR, the duration of immune-related response endpoint will not begin at the time that the irBOR of irCR is shown but rather at the earlier time-point showing irPR. For subjects who remain alive and have not progressed following response, irDoR will be censored on the date of last evaluable Tumor Assessment.

    Measured: 2 years

  5. Immune-related progression free survival (irPFS)

    Immune-related progression free survival (irPFS) per irRC will be defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of progression per irRC or death, whichever occurs first. A subject who dies without reported progression per irRC will be considered to have progressed on the date of death. For those subjects who remain alive and have not progressed, irPFS will be censored on the date of last evaluable Tumor Assesment. For those subjects who remain alive and have no recorded post baseline Tumor Assessment, irPFS will be censored on the day of last clinical evaluation.

    Measured: 2 years

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2015. 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 Italy. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Anna Maria Di Giacomo, PhD,MD (+390577586305, a.m.digiacomo@ao-siena.toscana.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of SGI-110 in combination with ipilimumab (time frame: the first 3 weeks of treatment). 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 NCT02608437, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 18 Nov 2015.
