About this study

Official title: A Non-randomized, Open Label, Multi-center Phase 2 Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of STA-9090 in Patients With Metastatic and/or Unresectable GIST Resistant or Refractory to Prior Systemic Treatments Including Imatinib and Sunitinib

The purpose of this study is to determine if STA-9090 is effective in the treatment of patients with metastatic and/or unresectable GIST.

Read the detailed description

Planned:

  • Stage 1: 23 patients. If ≥4 patients had clinical benefit, an additional 32 patients were to be enrolled. Up to 3 additional patients with platelet-derived growth factor receptor, alpha polypeptide (PDGFRA) mutation were to be enrolled, regardless of the total study enrollment.
  • Stage 2: 55 patients. Progressing to this stage was dependent on Stage 1 results.

Analyzed:

  • Stage 1: 27 patients were enrolled and analyzed. The study was not expanded to Stage 2 due to insufficient efficacy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • GanetespibDrug

    Also called STA-9090

    Ganetespib 200 mg/m^2 during an approximately 1-hour infusion once weekly for three consecutive weeks followed by a treatment-free week. Participants who demonstrate acceptable tolerability and objective clinical benefit (defined by at least stable disease or objective response per RECIST) can continue to receive ganetespib until disease progression or appearance of unacceptable toxicity.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ganetespib 200 mg/m^2ExperimentalGanetespib (STA-9090) 200 mg/m^2 intravenous infusion once weekly for 3 consecutive weeks followed by one week dose free interval (3 weeks on and 1 week off represent a treatment cycle). Treatment continues until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Showing Clinical Benefit Based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.0

    Clinical benefit is defined as showing a complete response (CR), a partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) for at least 16 weeks.

    • CR: disappearance of all target lesions and non-target lesions and no new lesions
    • PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, no disease progression for non-target lesions, and no new lesions
    • SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, no disease progression for non-target lesions, and no new lesions

    Measured: Week 16 up to Week 47

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Percentage of Participants Showing an Objective Response Based on RECIST Version 1.0

    Objective response included participants whose best response with confirmation was a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) from first dose until progression or end of study.

    • CR: disappearance of all target lesions and non-target lesions and no new lesions
    • PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, no disease progression for non-target lesions, and no new lesions

    Measured: Week 16 up to Week 47

  2. Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from the baseline CT scan to disease progression per RECIST or death for any cause. Progressive disease (PD) was defined as

    • at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the treatment started or
    • the appearance of 1 or more new lesions or
    • the unequivocal progression of existing nontarget lesions

    Measured: Day 1 up to Week 47

  3. Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Overall Survival

    Overall survival was defined as the time from first dose to death or the date last known alive.

    Measured: Day 1 up to week 97

  4. Percentage of Participants Showing a Tumor Response During Cycle 1 in Selected Participants Measured by Positron Emission Tomography (PET)

    PET imaging was completed on selected patients only from one investigative site. Treatment phase PET and biopsy was completed on any day from Cycle 1 Day 2 through Day 10. PET imaging data were analyzed utilizing the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) PET Study Group guidelines [Young H, Eur J Cancer, 1999]. Tumor response was considered a complete response (CR) or a partial response (PR).

    Measured: Day 2 to Day 10

  5. Count of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs)

    Treatment-emergent AEs were defined as AEs that occurred from the time of first dose through 30 days after the last dose of study medication. The Investigator graded the severity of AEs according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) criteria:

    Grade 1 = Mild Grade 2 = Moderate Grade 3 = Severe Grade 4 = Life threatening Grade 5 = Death

    A Serious AE is defined as any AE which results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or constitutes an important medical event.

    Dose modification includes dose delay and dose reduction.

    Measured: Day 1 up to Week 51

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ganetespib in people with Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor, run by Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. at 4 sites 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 10 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 10 Mar 2016). 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?

Percentage of Participants Showing Clinical Benefit Based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.0 (time frame: Week 16 up to Week 47). 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 10 Mar 2016.
