MLN0264 in Previously Treated Asian Participants With Advanced Gastrointestinal Carcinoma or Metastatic or Recurrent Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma Expressing Guanylyl Cyclase C

A Phase 1/2 Trial of MLN0264 in Previously Treated Asian Patients With Advanced Gastrointestinal (GI) Carcinoma (Phase 1) or Metastatic or Recurrent Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma (Phase 2) Expressing Guanylyl Cyclase C (GCC)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of MLN0264 in previously treated Asian participants with Advanced Gastrointestinal (GI) Carcinoma (Phase 1) or Metastatic or Recurrent Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma (Phase 2) Expressing Guanylyl Cyclase C (GCC).

Study Overview

• Status: Terminated
• Conditions: Metastatic Gastric Adenocarcinoma; Metastatic Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma; Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma; Recurrent Gastric Adenocarcinoma; Recurrent Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma; Advanced Gastrointestinal Carcinoma; Recurrent Gastrointestinal Carcinoma
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: MLN0264

Detailed Description

The drug being tested in this study is called MLN0264. This drug is being evaluated to check the effects on previously treated Asian individuals with Advanced GI Carcinoma (Phase 1) or Metastatic or Recurrent Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma (Phase 2). The study will enroll approximately 95 participants.

In Phase 1, approximately 14 Asian participants with GI malignancies will be enrolled in 3 planned dose cohorts according to the traditional 3 + 3 dose escalation scheme. The starting dose will be 1.2 mg/kg of MLN0264 administered IV on Day 1 of 3-week cycles for up to 1 year or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Dose escalation will take place until Phase 2 recommended dose is determined.

In Phase 2, eligible Asian participants with advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction will be enrolled. Participants must have failed at least 2 lines of prior anticancer therapy for advanced or metastatic disease. Disease recurrence within 6 months of the last dose of post-surgical adjuvant chemotherapy counts as 1 line of prior anticancer therapy for advanced disease.

This multi-center trial will be conducted in Japan, Korea and Taiwan. The overall time to participate in this study is up to 3 years.

Target lesions were selected on the basis of size (longest lesions) and suitability for reproducible repeated measurements.	Baseline until end of study treatment (approximately 1 year)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Phase 2- Duration of Response (DOR)	DOR is defined as the time from the date of first documentation of a confirmed response to the date of first documentation of Progressive Disease (PD). Responders without documentation of PD were censored at the last response assessment that was stable disease or better.

Phase 2- Overall Survival (OS)	OS is defined as the time from the date of first study drug administration to the date of death. Participants without documentation of death at the time of analysis were censored at the date when they were last known to be alive.

Phase 2- Guanylyl Cyclase C (GCC) H-score Assessed by Immunohistochemistry (IHC)	The H-score is a method of assessing the extent of nuclear immunoreactivity, applicable to steroid receptors. The score is obtained by the formula: 3 * percentage of strongly staining nuclei + 2 * percentage of moderately staining nuclei + percentage of weakly staining nuclei, giving a range of 0 to 300. The 600 H-score is based on the sum of the 0 to 300 H-score for cytoplasmic staining and the 0 to 300 H-score for apical staining	Baseline up to approximately 1 year
