About this study
Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind Phase 2 Trial of Lenvatinib (E7080) in Subjects With 131I-Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Cancer to Evaluate Whether an Oral Starting Dose of 18 mg Daily Will Provide Comparable Efficacy to a 24-mg Starting Dose, But Have a Better Safety Profile
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind study being conducted as a postmarketing requirement to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to evaluate whether there is a lower starting dosage of lenvatinib 24 mg once daily (QD) that provides comparable efficacy but has a better safety profile in participants with radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer RR-DTC with radiographic evidence of disease progression within the prior 12 months.
Read the detailed description
This study consists of 2 phases, the Prerandomization Phase and the Randomization Phase. The Prerandomization Phase will last no longer than 28 days and will include a Screening Period to establish protocol eligibility and a Baseline Period to confirm eligibility and establish disease characteristics prior to randomization and treatment.
The Randomization Phase will consist of a Treatment Period and a Follow-up Period. It will begin at the time of randomization of the first participant and will consist of 28-day blinded study treatment cycles. The data cutoff for the primary analysis will occur at the end of the Randomization Phase, which is defined as when the last participant enrolled completes the Week 24 tumor assessments or discontinues study treatment if before Week 24.
Participants on treatment at the time of data cutoff for the primary analysis will remain on blinded investigational product until the primary analysis has been completed, after which they will transition to commercial lenvatinib outside the study. The last participant's last assessment (Off-treatment visit) will be the End of Study.
Participants will be randomly assigned to treatment with 1 of 2 blinded starting dosages of lenvatinib in a 1:1 ratio to receive lenvatinib 18 mg or 24 mg orally once daily (QD). Dose reductions will occur in succession based on the previous dose level (24, 20, 14, 10, and 8 mg QD, or 18, 14, 10, 8, and 4 mg QD, respectively). Once the dose has been reduced, it may not be increased at a later date.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Objective Response Rate (ORR) as of Week 24 (ORR24wk)
ORR as of Week 24 was defined as the percentage of participants with best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as of the Week 24 time point or earlier, as measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). CR: was disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) had to be reduced in short axis to less than (<) 10 millimeter (mm). PR: was at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in sum of diameter (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD.
Measured: From the date of randomization up to Week 24
Percentage of Participants With Grade 3 or Higher Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) in the First 24 Weeks
This outcome measure reports TEAEs in the first 24 weeks only. A TEAE was defined as any adverse event (AE) that had an onset date on or after the first dose of study drug up to 28 days following the last dose of study drug, or a worsening in severity from Baseline (pretreatment). In addition, if an AE reemerged during treatment, having been present at pretreatment (Baseline) but stopped before treatment, it was also counted as a TEAE. A severity grade was defined by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.03. As per CTCAE, Grade 1 scales as Mild; Grade 2 scales as Moderate; Grade 3 scales as severe or medically significant but not immediately life threatening; Grade 4 scales as life-threatening consequences; and Grade 5 scales as death related to AE.
Measured: Baseline up to Week 24
Secondary outcomes (31)
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
PFS, defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of PD, or date of death, whichever occurs first, as measured by RECIST V1.1. PD: 20% increase in the sum of the pertinent diameters (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum SOD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. PFS was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. As planned, data for this endpoint was analyzed and collected till Primary completion date.
Measured: Time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of PD, or date of death, whichever occurs first up to approximately 2 years 6 months
PFS After Next Line of Treatment (PFS2)
PFS2, defined as the time from randomization to PD on next-line treatment, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first, as measured by RECIST V1.1. PD: 20% increase in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum SOD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. PFS was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. As planned, data for this endpoint was analyzed and collected till Primary completion date.
Measured: Time from randomization to PD on next-line treatment or death from any cause, whichever occurs first up to approximately 2 years 6 months
Number of Participants With TEAE and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
TEAEs were defined as those AEs that occurred (or worsened, if present at Baseline) after the first dose of study drug through 28 days after the last dose of study drug. An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participants or clinical investigation participant administered an investigational product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with medicinal product. SAE was defined as any AE if it resulted in death or life-threatening AE or required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization or resulted in persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect.
Measured: From date of first administration of study drug up to 28 days after last dose of study drug up to approximately 3 years 3 months
Time to Treatment Discontinuation Due to an Adverse Event (AE)
Time to Treatment Discontinuation due to an AE (such as abdominal distention, appendicitis perforated, arthralgia, anemia, etc) was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. As planned, data for this endpoint was analyzed and collected till Primary completion date.
Measured: From date of first administration of study drug up to approximately 2 years 6 months
Number of Dose Reductions
Number of dose reduction was reported as number of participants who underwent one or more number of dose reductions. As planned, data for this endpoint was analyzed and collected till Primary completion date.
Measured: From date of first administration of study drug up to approximately 2 years 6 months
Time to First Dose Reduction
Time to First Dose Reduction was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. As planned, data for this endpoint was analyzed and collected till Primary completion date.
Measured: From date of first administration of study drug up to approximately 2 years 6 months
Model Predicted Apparent Total Clearance (CL/F) Following Oral Dosing of Lenvatinib
Sparse pharmacokinetic (PK) samples (approximately 9 per participant) were collected and analyzed using a population PK approach to estimate PK parameters. Lenvatinib total plasma concentration data were pooled with data from studies E7080-G000-303 (NCT01321554) and E7080-G000-201 (NCT00784303), and a population PK model was applied to the pooled dataset. Individual predicted CL/F for lenvatinib was then derived from the PK model by starting dose.
Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1: 0.5-4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle 1 Day 8: predose, Cycle 1 Day 15: predose, 0.5-4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle 1 Day 22: optionally at predose; Cycle 2 Day 1: predose and 2-12 hours postdose (Cycle length=28 days)
Model Predicted Area Under the Plasma Drug Concentration-time Curve (AUC) for Lenvatinib
Sparse PK samples (approximately 9 per participant) were collected and analyzed using a population PK approach to estimate PK parameters. Lenvatinib total plasma concentration data were pooled with data from studies E7080-G000-303 (NCT01321554) and E7080-G000-201 (NCT00784303), and a population PK model was applied to the pooled dataset. Individual predicted AUC for lenvatinib was then derived from the PK model by starting dose.
Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1: 0.5-4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle 1 Day 8: predose, Cycle 1 Day 15: predose, 0.5-4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle 1 Day 22: optionally at predose; Cycle 2 Day 1: predose and 2-12 hours postdose (Cycle length=28 days)
Parameter Estimates From the Population Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) Model Describing the Relationship Between Lenvatinib Exposure (AUC) and Thyroglobulin Levels
The relationship between exposure to lenvatinib and change from baseline in thyroglobulin was planned to be analyzed using a model-based approach.
Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1: 0.5-4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle 1 Day 8: predose, Cycle 1 Day 15: predose, 0.5-4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle 1 Day 22: optionally at predose; Cycle 2 Day 1: predose and 2-12 hours postdose (Cycle length=28 days)
Parameter Estimates From the Population Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) Model Describing the Relationship Between Lenvatinib Exposure (AUC) and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Levels
The relationship between exposure to lenvatinib and change from baseline in TSH was planned to be analyzed using a model-based approach.
Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1: 0.5-4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle 1 Day 8: predose, Cycle 1 Day 15: predose, 0.5-4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle 1 Day 22: optionally at predose; Cycle 2 Day 1: predose and 2-12 hours postdose (Cycle length=28 days)
Baseline Level Estimates From the Population PK/PD Model Describing the Relationship Between Lenvatinib Exposure (AUC) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Soluble Tie-2, Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 (FGF23) Levels
Per the planned population PK/PD analysis for this endpoint, Arms/Groups were combined and lenvatinib total plasma concentration and serum biomarker data for VEGF, Ang-2, soluble Tie-2, and FGF23 from this study were combined with data from study E7080-G000-303 (NCT01321554). The relationship between lenvatinib exposure at the time of measurement of biomarker was described using PK/PD modelling. Initially, PK/PD models were developed individually for each biomarker and then combined into a single combined model. Changes in biomarker levels over time related to lenvatinib exposure were best described by an indirect response, sigmoidal Emax model. For the final combined model, baseline level estimates were determined separately for each biomarker. The data presented are the model predicted baseline estimates, with Measure Type "Number." They are population PK/PD model predictions and have been estimated using non-linear mixed effects modelling.
Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1: 0.5-4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle 1 Day 8: predose, Cycle 1 Day 15: predose, 0.5-4 hours and 6-10 hours postdose; Cycle 1 Day 22: optionally at predose; Cycle 2 Day 1: predose and 2-12 hours postdose (Cycle length=28 days)

Change From Baseline in the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) Assessed by European Quality of Life (EuroQol) Five-Dimensional, 3-Level (EQ-5D-3L) Index Score and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
The EQ-5D-3L is a health profile questionnaire assessing quality of life along 5 dimensions. Participants rate 5 dimensions of health (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) by choosing from 3 answering options (1=no problems; 2=some problems; 3=extreme problems). The summed score ranges from 5-15 with "5" corresponding to no problems and "15" corresponding to severe problems in the 5 dimensions. EQ-5D-3L also included an EQ visual analogue scale (VAS) that ranges between 100 (best imaginable health) and 0 (worst imaginable health). Decrease from baseline in EQ-5D-3L signifies improvement. Total index EQ-5D-3L summary score was weighted with a range of -0.594 (worst) to 1.0 (best). EQ-5D-3L also included an EQ health utilities index (HUI) where 1 indicated full health while a score of 0 indicated worst health/death.
Measured: Baseline, Week 8, 16, and 24
Change From Baseline in the HRQoL Assessed by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) Total Score
The FACT-G is a 27-item questionnaire that measures the effect of cancer treatment on quality of life that has four areas of measurements (physical well-being, social/family well-being, emotional well-being and functional well-being). Each item has a 5-point scale response set (0: not at all; 1: a little bit; 2: somewhat; 3: quite a bit; and 4: very much). The FACT-G total score ranges between 0 and 108. Higher score indicates better quality of life.
Measured: Baseline, Week 8, 16 and 24

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind study being conducted as a postmarketing requirement to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to evaluate whether there is a lower starting dosage of lenvatinib 24 mg once daily (QD) that provides comparable efficacy but has a better safety profile in participants with radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer RR-DTC with radiographic evidence of disease progression within the prior 12 months.
Detailed description
This study consists of 2 phases, the Prerandomization Phase and the Randomization Phase. The Prerandomization Phase will last no longer than 28 days and will include a Screening Period to establish protocol eligibility and a Baseline Period to confirm eligibility and establish disease characteristics prior to randomization and treatment.
The Randomization Phase will consist of a Treatment Period and a Follow-up Period. It will begin at the time of randomization of the first participant and will consist of 28-day blinded study treatment cycles. The data cutoff for the primary analysis will occur at the end of the Randomization Phase, which is defined as when the last participant enrolled completes the Week 24 tumor assessments or discontinues study treatment if before Week 24.
Participants on treatment at the time of data cutoff for the primary analysis will remain on blinded investigational product until the primary analysis has been completed, after which they will transition to commercial lenvatinib outside the study. The last participant's last assessment (Off-treatment visit) will be the End of Study.
Participants will be randomly assigned to treatment with 1 of 2 blinded starting dosages of lenvatinib in a 1:1 ratio to receive lenvatinib 18 mg or 24 mg orally once daily (QD). Dose reductions will occur in succession based on the previous dose level (24, 20, 14, 10, and 8 mg QD, or 18, 14, 10, 8, and 4 mg QD, respectively). Once the dose has been reduced, it may not be increased at a later date.

Primary outcome
Objective Response Rate (ORR) as of Week 24 (ORR24wk)
Time frame: From the date of randomization up to Week 24
ORR as of Week 24 was defined as the percentage of participants with best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as of the Week 24 time point or earlier, as measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). CR: was disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) had to be reduced in short axis to less than (<) 10 millimeter (mm). PR: was at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in sum of diameter (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD.
Percentage of Participants With Grade 3 or Higher Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) in the First 24 Weeks
Time frame: Baseline up to Week 24
This outcome measure reports TEAEs in the first 24 weeks only. A TEAE was defined as any adverse event (AE) that had an onset date on or after the first dose of study drug up to 28 days following the last dose of study drug, or a worsening in severity from Baseline (pretreatment). In addition, if an AE reemerged during treatment, having been present at pretreatment (Baseline) but stopped before treatment, it was also counted as a TEAE. A severity grade was defined by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.03. As per CTCAE, Grade 1 scales as Mild; Grade 2 scales as Moderate; Grade 3 scales as severe or medically significant but not immediately life threatening; Grade 4 scales as life-threatening consequences; and Grade 5 scales as death related to AE.

A Phase 2 study testing Lenvatinib in people with Thyroid Cancer, run by Eisai Inc. at 101 sites in 16 countries.
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 36 inclusion and 17 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 24 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 101 sites in Italy, United States, France, Australia, Russia and 11 more countries. 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 11 Jan 2021). 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?
Objective Response Rate (ORR) as of Week 24 (ORR24wk) (time frame: From the date of randomization up to Week 24). 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?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02702388, which also lists 2 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 24 Nov 2021.
