About this study

The purpose of this study is to learn if a new drug, ONC201 can make tumors become smaller or go away completely. Investigators also want to learn if ONC201 can prevent new deposits of cancer from appearing in new places in participants (metastases). A phase 2 study of ONC201 in PC-PG (pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma) and other neuroendocrine tumors will determine whether inhibition of DRD2 (a member of the dopamine receptor family) is safe in unresectable, recurrent, locally advanced, refractory, or metastatic neuroendocrine cancers including PC-PG, desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT), Ewing sarcoma (PNET) or any other neuroendicrine tumor with a catecholamine or dopamine biomarker or autocrine or paracrine dependence on dopamine including cholangiocarcinoma and adrenal cortical carcinoma.

ONC201 is an investigational (experimental) agent and has a favorable safety profile in phase 1 and early phase 2 clinical trials in advanced cancers. This study design has been chosen to see whether ONC201 is associated with reduction of anti-hypertension medications, safety and significant efficacy against neuroendocrine tumors, especially PC-PG.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective To demonstrate objective responses using MRI or CT, and/or PET-CT imaging. The same CT or MRI imaging to assess disease burden at study entry will be compared at week 6 and 3 months. Patients without progression at 3 months will continue treatment and have imaging at 6, 9 and 12 months after study entry. Metabolic response and/or biomarkers will be compared with study entry PET-CT and scans at 6 weeks, 3 months and 12 months.

Secondary Objectives Progression - free Survival: This will be calculated according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) or development of new disease

Overall survival: Overall survival will be determined by email or telephone contact.

Study Design: Phase 2 open-label fixed dose study Metastatic neuroendocrine tumors including PC-PG are rare diseases.

The current recommended phase II dose of 625 mg orally on 2 consecutive days every week will be used. The same imaging at study entry will be used at subsequent time points (CT or MRI for week 6 and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months) Imaging modality choice will be influenced by the quality of prior scans of the subject and will be ordered so clinical comparison is possible.

Because of travel and lodging considerations associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, some information by the study team/PI may be obtained using virtual visits and 2nd read of scans sent to Cleveland Clinic

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor Response According to RECIST Criteria

    Complete Response (CR) Disappearance or fibrosis of all target lesions. Any pathologic lymph nodes must have reduction in short axis to <10mm and standardized uptake value (SUV) is <4.

    Partial Response (PR) At least 30% decrease in sum of longest diameters of target lesions (compared to initial on study baseline) and any decrease in SUV in Fludeoxyglucose 18F (18FDG) imaging Stable disease (SD) 0-29% decrease in sum of longest diameters of target lesions (compared to initial on study baseline) or 0-19% increase in sum of longest diameters of target lesions (compared to initial on study baseline). SUV may increase or decrease Progressive disease 20% or more increase of sum of longest diameters of target lesions (compared to initial on study baseline). The sum must also be at an increase of at least 5mm or one or more new lesions that are considered metastatic disease

    Measured: Up to 1 Year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Median Duration of Therapy

    The median Duration of therapy was measured. Participants with stable disease + PR allowed to continue; participants with progression were taken off therapy.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  2. Overall Survival

    Time from beginning of treatment until death, or one year, whichever comes first.

    Measured: Up to 1 Year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ONC201 in people with Recurrent Neuroendocrine Tumor and Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumor, run by Peter Anderson 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?

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 26 Nov 2024. 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 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 26 Nov 2024). 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?

Tumor Response According to RECIST Criteria (time frame: Up to 1 Year). 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 NCT03034200, which also lists 8 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 26 Nov 2024.
