About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of LBH589 in Combination With Capecitabine ± Lapatinib

This single center Phase I dose escalation trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of LBH589 when combined with capecitabine and lapatinib in three parts. Part 1 will determine the maximum tolerated doses (MTD) of LBH589 when combined with capecitabine. Parts 2 and 3 will be limited to locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer patients, ICH 3+ overexpression or FISH amplification documented locally. Part 2 will evaluate the safety of the MTD of LBH589 determined in Part 1 when paired with lapatinib 1000 mg by mouth (PO) daily. Parts 2 and 3 will be limited to locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer patients, ICH 3+ overexpression or FISH amplification documented locally. Part 3 will evaluate the tolerability and effectiveness of the triplet combination, LBH589, capecitabine and lapatinib in breast cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

LBH589 will be evaluated when administered twice weekly at the following possible dose levels: 20 mg, 30 mg, 45 mg, and 60 mg. Capecitabine will be paired with LBH589 and will range in dose from 825 mg/m2 to 1250 mg/m2 orally BID 14 of every 21 days. Treatment cycles will be 21 days in length. Once determined safe, 10 additional patients will be treated at the determined MTD to further assess safety.

The second portion of this study will assess QTc prolongation with the LBH589 and lapatinib combination. A subset of 6 patients will be treated with the LBH589 one dose below the MTD determined during Part I. If tolerated, 6 additional patients will receive LBH589 at the MTD established in Part I with lapatinib (capecitabine will not be administered in this subset of patients).

If there are no clinically significant findings in the LBH589 and lapatinib subset, the study will advance to a third portion which combines the three drugs LBH589, capecitabine, and lapatinib.

The triple combination will initially administer lapatinib 1000 mg orally daily with LBH589 and capecitabine at one dose level below the established MTD. If tolerated, LBH589 and capecitabine doses will be escalated to the MTD.

Toxicity assessments will be ongoing and disease assessments will be repeated every 2 treatment cycles. If all dose level combinations are explored, a total of 45-55 patients will be required to accommodate for the additional patients enrolled in the QTc subset and to establish the recommended phase II dose of the combination regimen.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing LBH589, Capecitabine and Lapatinib in people with Breast Cancer, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC 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 26 inclusion and 32 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 8 Jun 2015. 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 8 Jun 2015). 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?

To Determine the Maximum Tolerated Doses (MTD) and Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT) of LBH589 in Combination With Capecitabine When Administered to Patients With Refractory and Advanced Tumor Types That Are Sensitive to 5-fluorouracil (time frame: 18 months). The study lists 2 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 8 Jun 2015.
