Treatment of Patients With Everolimus and Imatinib Mesylate Who Have Progressive Gastro Intestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) and Are Resistant to Imatinib Mesylate (Radix)

September 8, 2020 updated by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

Multicenter, Single-arm, Two Stage Phase II Trial of RAD001 (Everolimus) With Imatinib in Imatinib-resistant Patients With Progressive GIST

The purpose of this multicenter, single-arm, Simon two-stage, phase II trial is to determine the efficacy and safety of everolimus in combination with Imatinib mesylate in patients with previously treated, histologically proven GIST whose disease has recurred or progressed while receiving 400 mg/day of Imatinib mesylate at any time during at least a 2 months' treatment period.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

30 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion criteria:

  1. Histological proven diagnosis of GIST
  2. Objectively documented evidence of progressive disease according to the RECIST criteria despite at least 2 months' continuous treatment with Imatinib mesylate at a dosage of 400 mg/day
  3. Clinical evidence of resistance to Imatinib mesylate on treatment with 400 mg/day Imatinib
  4. Progression must be documented on CT or MRI scans. The scans on which progression is documented should be at maximum 2 weeks old. New scans are only required as baseline scans if they are older then approx. 2 weeks
  5. At least one measurable lesion (longest diameter ≥ 20 mm on conventional CT or MRI scan; ≥ 10 mm on spiral CT)
  6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0-2
  7. Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function on Imatinib treatment
  8. Patients must be at least 4 weeks since prior major surgery and recovered, at least 2 weeks since prior minor surgery and recovered

Exclusion criteria:

  1. Female patients who are pregnant or breast feeding, or patients of reproductive potential not employing an effective method of birth control. Because oral, implantable or injectable contraceptives may be affected by cytochrome P450 interactions, an appropriate method of birth control should be used throughout the trial in both sexes. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test ≤ 48 hours prior to the administration of study medication
  2. Patients presenting with known or symptomatic CNS metastases or leptomeningeal involvement
  3. Use of other investigational cancer therapies within 28 days prior to enrollment or which are currently being or planned to be received during the course of the study
  4. Patients who previously received rapamycin in combination with Imatinib
  5. Patients with any concurrent major medical condition liable to compromise the patient's participation in the study (e.g. known HIV infection, uncontrolled diabetes, serious cardiac dysrhythmia or condition, New York Heart Association classification of III or IV, congestive cardiac failure, myocardial infarction within 6 months, unstable angina, chronic or acute renal or liver disease, uncontrolled infections including abscess or fistulae, etc.)
  6. Patients with a history of another malignancy within 5 years prior to study entry, except curatively treated non-melanotic skin cancer or in-situ cervical cancer
  7. Patients receiving glucocorticoids (only if the p70s6 kinase-1 assay is being performed), since glucocorticoids have been shown to inhibit p70s6 kinase-1 activity

Other protocol defined inclusion/ exclusion criteria may apply

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Tumor assessments should be performed by a CT or MRI scan after 4 months. Response to treatment with RAD001 plus Imatinib mesylate at 4 months (defined as progression-free survival (PFS) at 4 months).
Time Frame: at 4 months
at 4 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Tolerability and safety assessed by AEs and SAEs. Objective tumor response rate (complete response [CR] and partial response [PR]) assessed by CT or MRI PFS at month 12 for patients with data available from follow up observation (optional)
Time Frame: At 12 months
At 12 months

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
