About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Evaluation of the Safety and Tolerability of Niraparib in Combination With Everolimus in Advanced Gynecologic Malignancies and Breast Cancer

Open-label, cohort study to determine the feasibility and tolerability of the combination of daily niraparib and daily or thrice weekly everolimus for one 28-day cycle in patients with advanced ovarian and breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this study is to determine a maximum tolerated dose of the combination of niraparib and everolimus. To do this, investigators will estimate the maximum tolerated dose that is defined as the dose level at which less than one-third of patients will experience a dose-limiting toxicity. A traditional dose escalation design will be used, beginning with the lowest dose level and escalating to the maximum allowable dose level as specified in the protocol. One of the following outcomes will determine the treatment of subsequent patients:

  • If none of the three patients experiences a dose-limiting toxicity , the next group of patients will be entered in the next higher dose cohort. All patients within a cohort must have completed at least one cycle (28 days) prior to initiation of the next cohort of patients.
  • If one of the three patients experiences a dose-limiting toxicity , three more patients will be accrued at the current dose level. Subsequently, if only one of the six patients treated at this level experiences a dose-limiting toxicity , the dose will be escalated to the next higher dose in the next group of patients. If two or more of the six patients experiences a dose-limiting toxicity , the maximum tolerated dose has been exceeded and is defined as the previous dose at which no more than 1/3 experienced a dose-limiting toxicity .
  • If at least two of the three experience a dose-limiting toxicity , the maximum tolerated dose has been exceeded and is defined as the previous dose at which no more than 1/3 experienced a dose-limiting toxicity .

If the lowest allowable dose level exceeds the maximum tolerated dose, the study will be terminated and the combination will not be deemed safe for use in this population. Additionally, the highest dose level will not be exceeded, even if no dose-limiting toxicities are experienced at that dose.

Investigators will summarize the adverse events overall and by individual adverse event categories. Serious adverse events will be summarized in a similar manner. These summaries will be performed overall and for each dose cohort. Investigators will summarize all events as well as the highest grade for a given subject. Investigators will summarize the number of subjects that exhibit a dose-limiting toxicity at each dose cohort and describe the dose-limiting toxicity for each subject, if applicable.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • niraparibDrug

    Also called MK-4827

    Niraparib 100 mg will be administered orally once daily continuously. Niraparib will be administered as a flat-fixed dose (100mg, 200 mg, or 300 mg daily) depending on the cohort the patient is enrolled to, and not by body weight or body surface area. Each dose should be swallowed whole without chewing. The consumption of water is permissible. Patients should take doses at approximately the same times each day, and record this information in the patient diary. Patients will be provided with a diary in which to record their intake of study drug. However, the actual number of doses taken by the patient must be calculated from the number of tablets dispensed and returned.

  • everolimusDrug

    Also called Afinitor

    Everolimus 5 mg tablets will be used. Everolimus will be self-administered orally on a daily basis and doses will either be 5 mg (1 tablet) thrice weekly or 5 mg daily depending on the cohort the patient is enrolled to. Each cycle will be 28 days; everolimus will be taken continuously with no rest between cycles.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients Who Developed Does-limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    The DLT criteria for adverse events occurring in Cycle 1 while determining the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) are described in the protocol. The number of patients who experience DLT from the trial treatment is recorded.

    Measured: From the start of treatment to 30 days after the first dose of study drug

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Patients With Beneficial Clinical Response

    Tumor objective response is evaluated according to RECIST 1.1 response criteria. Number of patients with beneficial clinical response (SD, PR and CR) are recorded in each group.

    Measured: From beginning of study to the end of the 2nd cycle, and then at 16 weeks if the patient has stable disease or better.

  2. Number of Patients With Tumor Objective Response

    Tumor objective response is evaluated according to RECIST 1.1 response criteria. Number of patients with beneficial clinical response (PR and CR) are recorded in each group.

    Measured: From beginning of study to the end of the 2nd cycle, and then at 16 weeks if the patient has stable disease or better.

Model description
The statistical analysis will be mainly descriptive. Continuous variables will be summarized using descriptive statistics: N, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum. Categorical variables will be presented using frequencies and percentages. Time-to-event will be described by N, median, range, number censored, and Kaplan-Meier plots. A traditional dose escalation design will be used, beginning with the lowest dose level and escalating to the maximum allowable dose level as specified in the protocol. Three patients will be treated one at a time at a given dose level. A maximum of 4 dosing levels results in a maximum sample size of n=24 subjects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing niraparib and everolimus in people with Breast Cancer and Ovarian Cancer, run by Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center 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?

The sponsor lists 18 inclusion and 20 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 1 Aug 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Aug 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?

Number of Patients Who Developed Does-limiting Toxicity (DLT) (time frame: From the start of treatment to 30 days after the first dose of study drug). 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 NCT03154281, 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 1 Aug 2024.
