About this study

Official title: A Phase I Dose-escalation Study of NK012 Administered Intravenously as a Single Dose Every Three Weeks in Patients With Refractory Solid Tumors

The purpose of this study is to determine whether NK012 is safe and effective in the treatment of refractory solid tumors

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I dose-escalation study of the intravenous administration of NK012 in patients with refractory solid tumors. Patients will receive NK012 as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes on Day 1 followed by a 20-day observation period for a total of 21 days (3 weeks) per cycle. Two patient populations will be evaluated separately: patients with UGT1A1*28 genotype homozygous wild type (wt/wt) and heterozygous (wt/*28) variants as one group, and patients with UGT1A1*28 homozygous variant (*28/*28) as another group.

NK012ExperimentalThis is a Phase I dose-escalation study of the intravenous administration of NK012 in patients with refractory solid tumors. Patients will receive NK012 as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes on Day 1 followed by a 20-day observation period for a total of 21 days (3 weeks) per cycle. Two patient populations will be evaluated separately: patients with UGT1A1*28 genotype homozygous wild type (wt/wt) and heterozygous (wt/*28) variants as one group, and patients with UGT1A1*28 homozygous variant (*28/*28) as another group. Dose-escalation in each patient population will proceed according to the predefined dose level. For UGT1A1*28 (wt/wt and wt/*28) patients, at least 3 evaluable patients will be treated at each dose level. UGT1A1 homozygous (*28/*28) patients will be treated at 50% of the current dose level. Patients will receive up to 6 cycles of NK012, unless they experience unacceptable toxicity or disease progression, requiring withdrawal from the study.
Receives: Drug: NK012

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose-limiting toxicity of NK012 in patients with UGT1A1*28 (wt/wt and wt/*28) genotype

    Measured: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days)

  2. Maximum tolerated dose of NK012 in patients with UGT1A1*28 (wt/wt and wt/*28) genotype

    Measured: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days)

  3. Recommended phase II dose of NK012 in patients with UGT1A1*28 (wt/wt and wt/*28) genotype

    After MTD was determined, the administration schedule was changed to every 28 days per cycle, considering patient safety.

    Measured: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Toxicity profile of NK012 in all patients

    Measured: Through study completion (6 cycles of study drug administration period and 30 days of follow-up period), an average of 5 months for 21-day cycle or 6 months for 28-days cycle.

  2. Antitumor activity of NK012 according to RECIST criteria in all patients

    Overall response will be evaluated every 2 cycles

    Measured: Through study completion (6 cycles of study drug administration period and 30 days of follow-up period), an average of 5 months for 21-day cycle or 6 months for 28-days cycle.

  3. Pharmacokinetic parameter: Maximum concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: Sampling during Cycle 1 (first 3 weeks) and up to Day 3 of Cycle 2, if applicable, total 24 days for 21-days cycle or 31 days for 28-day cycle.

  4. Pharmacokinetic parameter: Time to reach the maximum concentration (Tmax)

    Measured: Sampling during Cycle 1 (first 3 weeks) and up to Day 3 of Cycle 2, if applicable, total 24 days for 21-days cycle or 31 days for 28-day cycle.

  5. Pharmacokinetic parameter: Terminal-phase half life (T1/2z)

    Measured: Sampling during Cycle 1 (first 3 weeks) and up to Day 3 of Cycle 2, if applicable, total 24 days for 21-days cycle or 31 days for 28-day cycle.

  6. Pharmacokinetic parameter: Area under the concentration-time curve for time zero to infinity (AUCinf)

    Measured: Sampling during Cycle 1 (first 3 weeks) and up to Day 3 of Cycle 2, if applicable, total 24 days for 21-days cycle or 31 days for 28-day cycle.

  7. Pharmacokinetic parameter: Total body clearance (CLtot)

    Measured: Sampling during Cycle 1 (first 3 weeks) and up to Day 3 of Cycle 2, if applicable, total 24 days for 21-days cycle or 31 days for 28-day cycle.

  8. Pharmacokinetic parameter: Volume of distribution at steady-state (Vss)

    Measured: Sampling during Cycle 1 (first 3 weeks) and up to Day 3 of Cycle 2, if applicable, total 24 days for 21-days cycle or 31 days for 28-day cycle.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing NK012 in people with Cancer, run by Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd. 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 7 inclusion and 10 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 28 Oct 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Dose-limiting toxicity of NK012 in patients with UGT1A1*28 (wt/wt and wt/*28) genotype (time frame: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days)). 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 28 Oct 2019.
