About this study

Official title: A Phase I Open-Label Dose Escalation Study of the Focal Adhesion Kinase Inhibitor, GSK2256098, in Subjects With Solid Tumors

This study is a Phase I dose escalation study in subjects with solid tumors. Part 1 will identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) using a dose-escalation procedure. Following identification of the MTD, enrollment into Parts 2, 3, 4 and 5 may be concurrent. Part 2 will explore further the safety, PK, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of GSK2256098 in subjects with tumors known to overexpress focal adhesion kinase (FAK). Part 3 will characterize the range of biologically effective doses by assessing pharmacodynamic (PD) markers in hair, skin and tumor tissue at doses that will not go lower than 80 mg or above the MTD dose levels tested during the Phase 1 dose escalation. Part 4 will explore further the safety, PK, tolerability and anti-tumor activity of GSK2256098 in subjects with relapsed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and MTD of GSK2256098. Secondary objectives are to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of GSK2256098; to identify a range of biologically active doses; to explore the anti-tumor activity of GSK2256098, and to explore relationships between GSK2256098 PK, PD and clinical endpoints. Part 5 will investigate the time course, the extent of an apparent change in the PK of GSK2256098 following repeated dosing, and screen for potential CYP3A induction as a possible mechanism of reduced systemic exposure of GSK2256098 at Day 15 and later time points. The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and MTD of GSK2256098.

This study is a Phase I dose escalation study in subjects with solid tumors. Part 1 will identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) using a dose-escalation procedure. Following identification of the MTD, enrollment into Parts 2, 3, 4, and 5 may be concurrent. Part 2 will explore further the safety, PK, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of GSK2256098 in subjects with tumors known to overexpress focal adhesion kinase (FAK). Part 3 will characterize the range of biologically effective doses by assessing pharmacodynamic (PD) markers in hair, skin and tumor tissue at doses that will not go lower than 80 mg or above the MTD dose levels tested during the Phase 1 dose escalation. Part 4 will explore further the safety, PK, tolerability and anti-tumor activity of GSK2256098 in subjects with relapsed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and MTD of GSK2256098. Secondary objectives are to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of GSK2256098; to identify a range of biologically active doses; to explore the anti-tumor activity of GSK2256098, and to explore relationships between GSK2256098 PK, PD and clinical endpoints.

Subjects with solid tumors will receive GSK2256098 orally without interruption on consecutive days. The planned starting dose in Part 1 will be a total daily dose of 160 mg administered as 80 mg twice daily (BID) during the repeat dose phase of the study. In the first cohort, administration of study drug will be initiated as a single dose (80 mg) on Day 1 that will be followed by collection of PK samples. Subjects may then begin repeat dosing (80 mg BID) on Day 2 following the collection of the 24-h PK sample. In subsequent cohorts, administration of study drug will be given as a single dose (half the total daily dose) on Day 1 followed by collection of PK samples. Subjects may begin repeat dosing on Day 2 following collection of the 24-h PK sample.

During dose escalation (Part 1), a modified accelerated dose titration design will be followed by a standard 3+3 dose escalation design until the MTD is established. After the MTD is established approximately 30 additional subjects with tumors reported to have FAK over-expression will be enrolled to further explore the safety, tolerability and clinical activity of GSK2256098 (Part 2). Additional cohorts below the MTD may be expanded to further explore and characterize the range of biologically effective doses (Part 3). Part 4 will further explore the safety, PK, tolerability and anti-tumor activity of GSK2256098 in subjects with relapsed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Part 5 will investigate the time course, the extent of an apparent change in the PK of GSK2256098 following repeated dosing, and screen for potential CYP3A induction as a possible mechanism of reduced systemic exposure of GSK2256098 at Day 15 and later time points. The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and MTD of GSK2256098.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GSK2256098 in people with Cancer, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 10 sites in 3 countries.

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 37 inclusion and 18 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 11 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United Kingdom, Australia, France. 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?

To evaluate the Maximum tolerated dose, identify the recommended Phase 2 dose(s), dose limiting toxicities, safety and tolerability of GSK2256098 given orally on consecutive days. (time frame: Until disease progression). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01138033, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 May 2017.
