Phase I Study LJM716 Combined With Trastuzumab in Patients With HER2 Overexpressing Metastatic Breast or Gastric Cancer

December 16, 2020 updated by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

A Multicenter, Open-label, Dose Escalation, Phase I Study of LJM716 Administered Intravenously in Combination With Trastuzumab in Patients With HER2 Overexpressing Metastatic Breast Cancer or Gastric Cancer

This is a multicenter, open-label, dose escalation, phase I study to estimate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or a lower Recommended Dose for Expansion (RDE) of LJM716 in combination with trastuzumab in patients with Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2) overexpressing Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) or gastric cancer (MGC). The study consists of a dose escalation part and a dose expansion part. LJM716 will be administered intravenously once weekly unless a less frequent dosing regimen such as every 2 weeks or once every 4 weeks is introduced. Patients will continue on their trastuzumab dosing, administered intravenously once weekly at 2mg/kg. During dose escalation, a minimum of 15 patients are anticipated to be treated in successive cohorts. The dose escalation will continue until the MTD/RDE is declared. The RDE dose selected will either be the MTD or a dose below the MTD based on safety and Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) considerations. Following the MTD/RDE declaration, approximately 20 MBC and 20 MGC patients will be enrolled in separate arms in the dose expansion part and treated at the MTD/RDE to further assess the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of the combination.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
64

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with confirmed HER-2 positive, metastatic or non-operable locally advanced breast or gastric cancer
  • Metastatic breast cancer patients must have received a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 3 prior anti HER2 based regimens with documented progression on the most recent regimen which must contain trastuzumab, ado-trastuzumab emtansine or lapatinib
  • Metastatic gastric cancer patients must have received a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 2 prior anti HER2 based regimens with documented progression on the most recent regimen which must contain trastuzumab or ado-trastuzumab emtansine
  • During the dose expansion part of study, all patients must have at least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST criteria.
  • Patients must have at least one prior trastuzumab-containing regimen

  • Patients with Central Nervous System (CNS) metastasis which are: symptomatic or require treatment for symptom control and/or growing
  • Prior treatment with any anti-HER3 (Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 3) treatment
  • Impaired cardiac function
