ACY 241 in Combination With Paclitaxel in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

February 25, 2020 updated by: Celgene

A Phase 1b Study of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Antitumor Activity of ACY 241 in Combination With Paclitaxel in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This is a Phase 1b, multicenter, single arm, open label, dose escalation study to determine the MTD and evaluate the safety and preliminary antitumor activity of orally (PO) administered ACY 241 in combination with intravenously (IV) administered paclitaxel in eligible patients with advanced solid tumors.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

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.

Detailed Description

Patients will receive ACY 241 with dose escalation according to a 3 + 3 design in combination with paclitaxel at the dose and schedule used in clinical practice for the patient population treated in this protocol.

Patients will undergo screening assessments for protocol eligibility within 28 days of study start (Cycle 1 Day 1).

Patients will receive ACY 241 by oral administration once daily (QD) or, if supported by PK and safety data, twice daily on 21 consecutive days of a 28 day treatment cycle. Paclitaxel will be administered to patients at 80 mg/m2 IV over 1 hour on Days 1, 8, and 15 of the 28 day treatment cycle. Patients who experience a DLT or other unacceptable toxicity in Cycle 1 will be removed from study treatment. Patients will receive study treatment until documented progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity.

Each cohort will consist of at least 3 patients. Patients who withdraw consent in Cycle 1 will be replaced. An assessment of safety will be made by the Safety Review Committee (SRC) before dose escalation. The SRC will be composed of the Study Investigators, the Sponsor's Medical Monitor and Clinical Project Lead, and the Contract Research Organization's Safety Monitor, Project Manager, and Biometrician. Ad hoc members may be invited by the Sponsor as needed.

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

  4. Patients with uncontrolled brain metastases.
  5. Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 2 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) before entering the study or those who have not recovered from AEs to ≤ Grade 1 (except for peripheral neuropathy; see Exclusion Criterion 12) due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.
