About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib/II, Open-label, Multi-center Study of INC280 in Combination With PDR001 or PDR001 Single Agent in Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

The purpose of this study of capmatinib (INC280) and spartalizumab (PDR001) was to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and antitumor activity of spartalizumab administered intravenously (i.v.) as a single agent or in combination with capmatinib administered orally in adult patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Read the detailed description

This was a Phase Ib/II, open label, multicenter study starting with a Phase Ib dose escalation part followed by a randomized Phase II part in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Capmatinib was administered orally twice daily (BID) and spartalizumab was administered i.v. every 3 weeks (Q3W) until the occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, progressive disease as per irRC and/or treatment was discontinued at the discretion of the Investigator or the participant. A complete cycle of treatment was defined as 21 days.

During the Phase Ib dose escalation part of the study, participants were treated with capmatinib in combination with a fixed dose of spartalizumab until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was reached or the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) was established. The capmatinib dose was increased and the spartalizumab dose remained constant.

Once the MTD and/or RP2D were declared for capmatinib in combination with spartalizumab, additional participants were enrolled in the Phase II part in order to assess the anti-tumor activity of capmatinib in combination with spartalizumab and spartalizumab single agent. Participants were randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to treatment with either capmatinib in combination with spartalizumab or spartalizumab single agent.

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase Ib: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) During the On-treatment Period

    Number of participants with AEs and SAEs, including changes from baseline in vital signs, electrocardiograms and laboratory results qualifying and reported as AEs.

    AE grades to characterize the severity of the AEs were based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. For CTCAE v4.03, Grade 1 = mild; Grade 2 = moderate; Grade 3 = severe; Grade 4 = life-threatening; Grade 5 = death related to AE.

    The on-treatment period is defined from the day of first administration of study treatment up to 30 days after the date of its last administration.

  2. Phase Ib: Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) During the First 2 Cycles of Treatment

    A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as an adverse event or abnormal laboratory value of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade ≥ 3 assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness or concomitant medications that occurs within the first 2 cycles of treatment with capmatinib in combination with spartalizumab during the dose escalation part of the study. Other clinically significant toxicities may be considered to be DLTs, even if not CTCAE grade 3 or higher. The duration of one treatment cycle is 21 days.

    Measured: 42 days

  3. Phase Ib: Number of Participants With Dose Reductions and Dose Interruptions of Capmatinib and Spartalizumab

    Number of participants with at least one dose reduction of capmatinib and spartalizumab and number of participants with at least one dose interruption of capmatinib and spartalizumab.

    No dose modifications (i.e. dose reduction) were allowed for spartalizumab.

    Measured: From first dose of study medication up to last dose, with a maximum duration of 3.2 years

  4. Phase Ib: Dose Intensity of Capmatinib

    Dose intensity of capmatinib was calculated as actual cumulative dose in milligrams divided by duration of exposure in days.

    Measured: From first dose of study medication up to last dose, with a maximum duration of 3.2 years

  5. Phase Ib: Dose Intensity of Spartalizumab

    Dose intensity of spartalizumab was calculated as actual cumulative dose in milligrams divided by duration of exposure in weeks and then multiplied by 3 weeks (3W).

    Measured: From first dose of study medication up to last dose, with a maximum duration of 3.2 years

  6. Phase II: Overall Response Rate (ORR) Per RECIST v1.1

    Tumor response was based on local investigator assessment as per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. ORR per RECIST v1.1 is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR).

    For RECIST v1.1, CR=Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm; PR= At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Spartalizumab and Capmatinib in people with Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 17 sites in 8 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 4 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 3 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in France, Italy, Canada, China, Germany and 3 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Jul 2023). 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?

Phase Ib: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) During the On-treatment Period (time frame: From first dose of study medication up to 30 days after last dose, with a maximum duration of 3.3 years). The study lists 6 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 NCT02795429, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Jul 2023.
