About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA) in Subjects With Locally Advanced, Recurrent or Metastatic Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC)

This phase II trial studies how well vorinostat works in treating patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma that has come back (recurrent) or that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the efficacy by means of response rate (based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] 1.1 criteria) of vorinostat in the treatment of patients with locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To characterize the safety and tolerability of vorinostat in this patient population.

II. To assess the time to tumor response (TTR). III. To assess the response duration (RD). IV. To evaluate progression free survival (PFS). V. To assess overall survival (OS).

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the association between a metabolic response by positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) after one cycle of chemotherapy and subsequent best tumor response according to standard anatomic response evaluation criteria (RECIST).

II. To assess the association between a metabolic response by PET/CT after the first and second chemotherapy cycle and PFS.

III. To assess flow sort diploid, aneuploid, and tetraploid populations of tumor cells from formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks from patients who benefited from suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) therapy and from patients who did not demonstrate a durable benefit.

IV. Profile the genomes of each cell population using oligonucleotide comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) arrays.

  1. Perform whole exome analysis of the sorted tumor population and matching germ line sample for each of the patients selected.

VI. To assess stable disease duration (SDD). VII. To assess the association between response to vorinostat treatment and RAD23 homolog B (HR23B) on tumor paraffin blocks.

VIII. Retrospectively compare volumetric density (viable tumor volume = VTV) with pre-determined RECIST of target lesions in cross sectioning imaging (CT/magnetic resonance [MR]) already obtained.

IX. Correlate VTV, RECIST and treatment response (partial response, stable disease, progressive disease and stable disease over 6 months).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive vorinostat orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up for 180 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response According to RECIST 1.1 Criteria

    Objective (Best) response according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.

    Measured: Up to 180 days after the last dose of vorinostat maximum treatment duration= 24 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Participants With Grade 3 or Grade 4 Toxicity as Assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0

    Toxicity will be tabulated via frequency distributions, and also dichotomized to report the proportion (and percentage) of patients experiencing a specified level (e.g., grade 3-4) of toxicity.

    Measured: Up to 180 days after the last dose of vorinostat maximum treatment duration= 24 months

  2. Time to Recurrence (TTR)

    TTR will be summarized descriptively, reporting N, median, mean, standard deviation, standard error (SE), minimum, maximum, and 90% CI for the mean calculated from the SE and asymptotic normal distribution theory.

    Measured: From the start of the treatment until the RECIST measurement criteria are met for complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) (whichever is first recorded, assessed up to 180 days after the last dose of vorinostat maximum treatment duration= 24 months

  3. Response Duration (RD)

    Median point estimate and full range will be documented, since only two patients achieved a response.

    Measured: From the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR (whichever is first) until the first date that recurrence or progression is objectively documented, assessed up to 60 months after the last dose of vorinostat max. treatment duration= 24 months

  4. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Distribution will be estimated using standard survival analysis techniques, and the K-M method. From the K-M life tables, both median point estimate and 90% confidence interval (CI) estimate.

    Measured: From start of treatment to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 60 months after the last dose of vorinostat maximum treatment duration= 24 months

  5. Overall Survival (OS)

    Distribution will be estimated using standard survival analysis techniques, and the K-M method. From the K-M life tables, both point and 90% CI estimates of various statistics of interest can be calculated (e.g., median, 6-month event-free rate, 12-month event-free rate, etc.). Statistical graphs of each K-M curve (with 90% CI lines) will be generated for visual display.

    (One year survival rate will be given since OS median was not reached due to too few events)

    Measured: From the start of treatment until death from any cause, duration for reported probability= 1 year; survival data collected for up to a total of 60 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Vorinostat in people with Recurrent Oral Cavity Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma and Recurrent Salivary Gland Carcinoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 12 sites in 2 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 18 inclusion and 9 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 3 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States, Canada. 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 3 Aug 2020). 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?

Objective Response According to RECIST 1.1 Criteria (time frame: Up to 180 days after the last dose of vorinostat maximum treatment duration= 24 months). 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 3 Aug 2020.
