About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Dose Escalation Phase 1 Study of MLN8237, a Novel Aurora A Kinase Inhibitor, in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

To determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of MLN8237 when given by mouth (PO) for a minimum of 7 and a maximum of 21 consecutive days, followed by a 14-day recovery period.

Read the detailed description

The drug tested in this study is called alisertib. Alisertib is being tested to treat people who have advanced malignancies. This study determined the dose-limiting toxicity, maximum tolerated dose, safety and pharmacokinetics (how the drug moves through the body) for alisertib when given once or twice a day for 7 to 21 days. This open label study enrolled 87 participants. Participants were enrolled in one of 3 treatment groups:

  • Powder-in-Capsule (PIC) Dose Escalation (alisertib 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 110 or 150 mg PIC , once daily (QD) for 7 days (D),or alisertib 25 mg, PIC, orally, QD 14D, or alisertib 25, 50 or 70 mg, PIC, orally, QD 21D, or alisertib 50 or 60 mg, PIC, orally, twice daily (BID) 7D, alisertib 40 mg, PIC, orally, BID 14D
  • ECT Dose Escalation (alisertib 10 or 20 mg, Enteric-coated Tablets (ECT), orally, QD for 7 to 21 days
  • Relative Bioavailability (alisertib 40 mg ECT or PIC, orally, BID 7D in cycle 1, followed by alisertib 40 mg in the opposite formulation (PIC or ECT) orally, BID 7D in cycle 2, followed by alisertib 50 mg PIC orally, BID 7D in each additional All participants received treatment until their disease progressed or they experienced unacceptable alisertib-related toxicity. This multi-center trial was conducted in the United States. The overall time to participate in this study was 1011 days. Participants made multiple visits to the clinic, including a final visit 30 days after receiving their last dose of alisertib for a follow-up assessment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    DLT was evaluated according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 3.0 and was defined as any of the following events related to therapy with alisertib:

    1. Grade 4 neutropenia lasting ≥7 consecutive days
    2. Grade 4 neutropenia with fever and/or infection
    3. Platelet count <25,000/mm^3
    4. Grade 3 or greater nausea and/or emesis despite use of optimal antiemetic prophylaxis
    5. Grade 3 or greater diarrhea despite maximal supportive therapy with loperamide
    6. Any other Grade 3 or greater nonhematologic toxicity, with the following exceptions: Grade 3 arthralgia/myalgias, Any grade of alopecia, Brief (<1 week) Grade 3 fatigue
    7. Treatment delay of >1 week due to failure of adequate hematologic or nonhematologic recovery from previous cycle of treatment
    8. Other alisertib-related nonhematologic toxicities ≥Grade 2 that, in the opinion of the investigator, required a dose reduction or discontinuation of therapy with alisertib.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1 up to Day 35 (alisertib daily for 7 to 21 days followed by a 14-day recovery period)

  2. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Alisertib

    MTD was defined as the highest dose at which DLT occurred in 0/3 or 1/6 patients.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug to 30 days after the last dose (up to 1011 days)

  3. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) A serious is any experience that suggests a significant hazard, contraindication, side effect or precaution that: results in death, is life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is medically significant.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug to 30 days after the last dose (up to 1011 days)

    Measured: Baseline and Cycle 1 Day 1, 6 hours and 24 hours postdose and Day 7, 6 hours postdose

  50. Change From Baseline in Alisertib Skin Punch Biopsy as Measured by Mitotic Index With PIC Twice Daily for 14 Days (BID14D) Dosing

    Mitotic index was defined as the mean number of mitotic cells per millimeter (mm) length of the basoepithelial layer (BEL). Mitotic cells were counted manually within the BEL of 4, 5 µM skin sections by staining with fluorescent-tagged antibodies specific to 2 mitotic markers-serine 10 phosphohistone H3 (pHistH3) and MPM2. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was stained with a fluorescent marker as well. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline and Cycle 1 Day 7, 6 hours postdose

  51. Change From Baseline in Alisertib Skin Punch Biopsy as Measured by Apoptotic Index With PIC Twice Daily for 14 Days (BID14D) Dosing

    Apoptotic index was defined as the mean number of apoptotic cells per millimeter (mm) length of the basoepithelial layer (BEL). Apoptotic cells were counted manually within the BEL of 4, 5 µM skin sections by staining with hematoxylin-eosin. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline and Cycle 1 Day 7, 6 hours postdose

  52. Number of Participants With Polymorphisms in Gene Encoding Enzyme UGT1A1

    One peripheral blood sample (approximately 4 mL) was to be obtained on Day 1 of Cycle 1 prior to the first dose of alisertib to genotype patients for polymorphisms in UGT1A1 because UGT1A1 is one of the enzymes responsible for glucuronidation of alisertib, which is expected to contribute to the clearance of alisertib.

    wt=wild type

    *28=polymorphism in the promoter region of a UGT1A1 allele resulting in reduced UGT1A1 expression.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1 predose

  53. Best Overall Response Based on Investigator Assessment

    Best overall response is defined as the percentage of participants with Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR) as assessed by the investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria 1.1. According to RECIST: CR is defined as disappearance of all target and nontarget lesions and normalization of tumor marker level (if applicable); PR is defined as ≥30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum longest diameter, persistence of 1 or more nontarget lesion(s) and/or maintenance of tumor marker level above the normal limits.

    Measured: Beginning at the end of Cycle 2, every 2 cycles until progressive disease (PD); Participants who discontinue study drug before PD: Follow-Up (FU) every 8-12 weeks until PD or as per institutional practice (Up to 33.2 months)

  54. 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 documented PD. PD is defined as 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

    Measured: Beginning at the end of Cycle 2, every 2 cycles until progressive disease (PD); Participants who discontinue study drug before PD: Follow-Up (FU) every 8-12 weeks until PD or as per institutional practice (Up to 33.2 months)

  55. Effect of Food on the Pharmacokinetics (PK) of Alisertib

    The effects of food on the PK of alisertib were to be evaluated using the preferred alisertib regimen (unit dose and formulation) based on the results from the relative bioavailability study.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Alisertib in people with Advanced Malignancies, run by Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Mar 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) (time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 up to Day 35 (alisertib daily for 7 to 21 days followed by a 14-day recovery period)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Mar 2019.
