Trial summary

This phase II LUNG-MAP treatment trial studies how well sapanisertib and docetaxel work for the treatment for squamous cell lung cancer that is stage IV or has come back (recurrent). Sapanisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase II Study of TAK228 (MLN0128, Sapanisertib) Plus Docetaxel Versus Standard of Care in Patients With Previously - Treated NFE2L2 or KEAP1-Positive Stage IV or Recurrent Squamous Cell Lung Cancer (ECOG-ACRIN LUNG-MAP Sub-Study)

This phase II LUNG-MAP treatment trial studies how well sapanisertib and docetaxel work for the treatment for squamous cell lung cancer that is stage IV or has come back (recurrent). Sapanisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving sapanisertib and docetaxel may work better in treating patients with squamous cell lung cancer compared to standard chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To compare the investigator-assessed progression-free survival (IA-PFS) between patients with NFE2L2 or KEAP1-positive stage IV or recurrent squamous cell lung cancer (SQCLC) randomized to TAK228 (MLN0128, sapanisertib) + docetaxel versus standard of care therapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To compare overall response rate (ORR) by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 between the treatment arms.

II. To compare overall survival (OS) between the treatment arms. III. To evaluate duration of response (DOR) among responders within each treatment arm.

IV. To evaluate and compare the frequency and severity of toxicities associated within each treatment arm.

  1. To evaluate outcomes of IA-PFS, OS, and response in the subsets of patients eligible based on the presence of NFE2L2 versus KEAP1 alterations.

TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE OBJECTIVES:

  1. To collect, process, and bank cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (cfDNA) at baseline, cycle 2 day 1, and end of treatment for future development of a proposal to evaluate comprehensive next-generation sequencing of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).

II. To establish a tissue/blood repository from patients with refractory non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM A: Patients receive docetaxel intravenously (IV) and dexamethasone IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8 and sapanisertib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 2-4, 9-11, and 16-18. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. If docetaxel is discontinued, patients receive sapanisertib PO QD on days 1-21. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM B: Patients receive standard of care treatment comprising either docetaxel IV and dexamethasone IV over 30 minutes on day 1 or docetaxel IV, dexamethasone IV over 30 minutes, and ramucirumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 2 years and then at 3 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Investigator-assessed progression-free survival (IA-PFS)

    IA-PFS will be compared between the arms using a stratified log-rank test.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (4)

  1. Overall response rate (ORR)

    Will be assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  2. Duration of response

    Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The Brookmeyer-Crowley method will be used to estimate 95% confidence intervals for the median. For point estimates at landmark times, the associated 95% confidence interval (CI) will be calculated using Greenwood's formula and based on a log-log transformation applied on the survival function. Hazard ratios for these outcomes will be estimated using a Cox Proportional Hazards regression model adjusting for the stratification factors.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  3. Progression free survival

    Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The Brookmeyer-Crowley method will be used to estimate 95% confidence intervals for the median. For point estimates at landmark times, the associated 95% CI will be calculated using Greenwood's formula and based on a log-log transformation applied on the survival function. Hazard ratios for these outcomes will be estimated using a Cox Proportional Hazards regression model adjusting for the stratification factors.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  4. Overall survival

    Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The Brookmeyer-Crowley method will be used to estimate 95% confidence intervals for the median. For point estimates at landmark times, the associated 95% CI will be calculated using Greenwood's formula and based on a log-log transformation applied on the survival function. Hazard ratios for these outcomes will be estimated using a Cox Proportional Hazards regression model adjusting for the stratification factors.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dexamethasone, Docetaxel and Ramucirumab in people with Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Recurrent Lung Carcinoma, run by SWOG Cancer Research Network.

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 30 inclusion and 25 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Investigator-assessed progression-free survival (IA-PFS) (time frame: Up to 3 years). 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 NCT04267913.

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 20 Nov 2020.
