About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b Study to Evaluate TAK-659 in Combination With Nivolumab in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), safety and efficacy of TAK-659 in combination with nivolumab in participants with advanced solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested is TAK-659.This study will look at the determination of the MTD/RP2D and efficacy measured by ORR in participants who take TAK-659 in combination with nivolumab. The study will include a dose escalation phase (Part 1), a potential nivolumab fixed dose cohort, and a dose expansion phase (Part 2).

The study will enroll approximately 120 participants, approximately 9-12 in the dose escalation phase and approximately 36 in each of the 3 dose expansion cohorts. Participants will be assigned to 1 of the 4 treatment groups:

  • Part 1: Advanced Solid Tumors
  • Potential Nivolumab Fixed Dose Cohort
  • Part 2: Metastatic TNBC
  • Part 2: Metastatic NSCLC
  • Part 2: Metastatic HNSCC

All participants will be asked to take the tablets of TAK-659 at the same time each day throughout the study. Participants will also receive intravenous infusion of nivolumab (within 30 minutes after the TAK-650 dose) once every 2 weeks. This multi-center trial will be conducted globally. The overall time to receive treatment in this study is approximately 12 months. Participants will be assessed for disease response and PD during the PFS follow-up of 6 months (for participants who discontinue due to reasons other than PD) and OS follow-up of 12 months from the last dose of study drug.

Study groups in NCT02834247
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Part 1: Advanced Solid TumorsExperimentalTAK-659 60 milligram (mg), tablets, orally, once daily in each 28-day treatment cycle in combination with nivolumab 3 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg), infusion over 60 minutes, intravenously (IV), on Days 1 and 15 in each 28 day treatment cycle until PD or unacceptable toxicity. Dose escalation of TAK-659 to 100 mg may be done using a 3 + 3 dose escalation design to determine a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or RP2D.
Receives: Drug: TAK-659; Drug: Nivolumab
Nivolumab Fixed Dose CohortExperimentalAfter RP2D of TAK-659 has been identified, based on evaluation of combination with weight-based dose of nivolumab (3 mg/kg), RP2D may be evaluated in combination with a fixed dose of 240 mg IV nivolumab after discussion between investigator and sponsor for all types of advanced solid tumors. For single-agent nivolumab, fixed dose is expected to have equal exposure, safety, and efficacy as weight-based (3 mg/kg) dose. If nivolumab fixed dose is evaluated with TAK-659 RP2D, 3 participants will be initially enrolled into cohort. Following evaluation of safety, efficacy, and any available PK data, along with discussions between investigator and sponsor, 3 additional participants may be enrolled into cohort for a total of 3 to 6 participants. If >=1 out of 6 participants experiences dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in Cycle 1, or significant safety issues are seen in Cycle 2 and beyond, re-evaluation of TAK-659 RP2D when administered with a fixed dose of nivolumab is permitted.
Receives: Drug: TAK-659; Drug: Nivolumab
Part 2: Metastatic Triple-negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)ExperimentalParticipants with metastatic TNBC will receive TAK-659 at the RP2D as determined in Part 1, tablets, orally, once daily in each 28-day treatment cycle in combination with nivolumab 3 mg/kg, infusion over 60 minutes, intravenously, on Day 1 and Day 15 of each 28 day treatment cycle until PD or unacceptable toxicity. A subset of participants will receive two weeks of TAK-659 monotherapy during Cycle 1, and will receive nivolumab beginning on Day 15 of Cycle 1. The dose of nivolumab will be either 3 mg/kg or 240 mg IV, dependent on whether the 240 mg fixed-dose cohort is evaluated and deemed safe and tolerable. If so, the dosing regimen may switch to 240 mg, on the basis of change in clinical practice and discussion between the investigator and sponsor. If the nivolumab fixed-dose evaluation cohort is not run, the dose of nivolumab for all participants in the dose expansion phase will be 3 mg/kg.
Receives: Drug: TAK-659; Drug: Nivolumab
Part 2: Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)ExperimentalParticipants with metastatic NSCLC will receive TAK-659 at the RP2D as determined in Part 1, tablets, orally, once daily in each 28-day treatment cycle in combination with nivolumab 3 mg/kg, infusion over 60 minutes, intravenously, on Day 1 and Day 15 of each 28 day treatment cycle until PD or unacceptable toxicity. A subset of participants will receive two weeks of TAK-659 monotherapy during Cycle 1, and will receive nivolumab beginning on Day 15 of Cycle 1.disease or unacceptable toxicity. The dose of nivolumab will be either 3 mg/kg or 240 mg IV, dependent on whether the 240 mg fixed-dose cohort is evaluated and deemed safe and tolerable. If so, the dosing regimen may switch to 240 mg, on the basis of change in clinical practice and discussion between the investigator and sponsor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Part 1, Dose Escalation Phase: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    The MTD was defined as the dose range at which less than or equal to (<=) 1 of 6 evaluable participants experience dose limiting toxicities (DLT) within the first 28 days of treatment (end of Cycle 1). Toxicities were evaluated according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.03.

    Measured: At end of Cycle 1 Day 28

  2. Part 1, Dose Escalation Phase: Recommendation Phase 2 Dose (RP2D)

    RP2D was evaluated from cumulative toxicities in Cycle 1 and beyond. Toxicities were evaluated according to NCI CTCAE version 4.03.

    Measured: Up to Cycle 12 (each Cycle length is equal to [=] 28 days)

  3. Part 2, Dose Expansion Phase: Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who's best overall response (BOR) was either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). The ORR assessment was based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. The BOR was defined as the best response recorded from the start of the study treatment until the start of subsequent anticancer therapy. 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 start of study treatment until the start of subsequent anticancer therapy (up to 28 months)

Secondary outcomes (9)

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Grade 3 or 4 Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation

    AEs Grades were evaluated as per NCI CTCAE version 4.03.

    Measured: From the first dose of the study drug up to 28 days after the last dose of the study drug or the start of subsequent anticancer therapy (up to 28 months)

  2. Part 2, Dose Expansion Phase: Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    DCR was the percentage of participants who had BOR with either CR, PR, or stable disease (SD). The DCR assessment was based on RECIST version 1.1. The BOR was defined as the best response recorded from the start of the study treatment until the start of subsequent anticancer therapy. CR: was disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) had to be reduced in short axis to <10 mm. PR: was at least a 30% decrease in SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD. SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest SOD.

    Measured: From the start of study treatment until the start of subsequent anticancer therapy (up to 28 months)

  3. Part 2, Dose Expansion Phase: Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR was defined as the time from the date of first documentation of a response to the date of first documented progressive disease. DOR assessment was based on RECIST v1.1. CR: was disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) had to be reduced in short axis to <10 mm. PR: at least 30% decrease in SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD. PD: at least 20% increase (including an absolute increase of at least 5 mm) in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions and/or appearance of 1 or more new lesions. DOR was calculated using Kaplan-Meier analysis.

    Measured: From the date of first documentation of a response to the date of first documented PD (up to 28 months)

  4. Part 2, Dose Expansion Phase: Percentage of Participants With PD at Month 6

    PD was defined as at least 20% increase (including an absolute increase of at least 5 mm) in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions and/or appearance of 1 or more new lesions. The PD assessment was based on RECIST v1.1.

    Measured: Month 6

  5. Part 2, Dose Expansion Phase: Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from date of first study drug administration to the date of first documented PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. The PFS assessment was based on RECIST v1.1. PD: at least 20% increase (including an absolute increase of at least 5 mm) in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions and/or appearance of 1 or more new lesions. PFS was calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimate.

    Measured: From the date of first study drug administration up to date of first documented PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first (up to 28 months)

  6. Part 2, Dose Expansion Phase: Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was calculated from date of participant enrollment to the date of participant's death due to any cause. OS was assessed based on RECIST v 1.1. Participants without documentation of death at time of the analysis were censored as of the date the participant was last known to be alive, or the data cutoff date, whichever was earlier. OS was calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimate. Enrollment was defined as the time of the initiation of the first dose of study drug.

    Measured: Baseline up to the date of death due to any cause (up to 28 months)

  7. Part 1, Dose Escalation Phase, Cmax: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration for TAK-659

    Measured: Cycle 1, Days 1 and 15: pre-dose and at multiple time points (up to 24 hours) post-dose (Cycle length= 28 days)

  8. Part 1, Dose Escalation Phase, Tmax: Time to Reach the Cmax for TAK-659

    Measured: Cycle 1, Days 1 and 15: pre-dose and at multiple time points (up to 24 hours) post-dose (Cycle length= 28 days)

  9. Part 1, Dose Escalation Phase, AUCtau: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Tau Over the Dosing Interval for Area Under the Plasma Concentration for TAK-659

    Measured: Cycle 1, Days 1 and 15: pre-dose and at multiple time points (up to 24 hours) post-dose (Cycle length= 28 days)
