Dose Finding Study of RAD001 (Everolimus, Afinitor®) in Combination With BEZ235 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

December 17, 2020 updated by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

An Open-label, Multi-center Phase I Dose-finding Study of RAD001 (Everolimus, Afinitor®) in Combination With BEZ235 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Study has two parts:

  1. Dose-finding: to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RAD001 (everolimus , Afinitor®) in combination with BEZ235 in patients with advanced solid tumors.
  2. Dose-expansion: to assess safety and tolerability of RAD001 and BEZ235 at the MTD in patients with ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer and metastatic renal cell cancer

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

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
EXPERIMENTAL: RAD001 + BEZ235
Patients will receive first dose of RAD001 at 2.5mg/5mg/10 mg weekly or 2.5mg/5mg daily in combination of BEZ235 at 50 mg/100 mg/200 mg/300 mg/400 mg twice a day. In the initial cohort of the dose finding phase, patients will receive a single 2.5 mg dose of RAD001 on Cycle 1 Day 1 and the combination therapy of RAD001 2.5 mg/week and BEZ235 200 mg bid starting on Cycle 1 Day 8. Dose escalation phase: patients will start RAD001 and BEZ235 on Cycle 1 Day 1 with both study drugs being administered at the center. Dose expansion phase: the first 15 patients enrolled at selected sites will take RAD001 as monotherapy from Day 1 to Day 7 (for PK sampling). The combination therapy of RAD001 and BEZ235 will start on Day 8. All remaining patients will receive the combination therapy of RAD001 and BEZ235 starting on Cycle 1 Day 1.
Drug: RAD001 + BEZ235
RAD001 is formulated as tablets of 2.5 mg and 5 mg strength, blistered in units of 10 tablets (for oral use) each. Blisters should be opened only at the time of dministration as the drug is both hygroscopic and light-sensitive. RAD001 should be administered immediately after a meal with a large glass of water. BEZ235 is supplied as 50-mg, 200-mg, 300-mg and 400-mg sachets (for oral use). BEZ235 is packaged in aluminum foil bags. Bags are packaged in a box. Patients will receive RAD001 in combination with BEZ235.

  • Afinitor

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

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.
