About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Parallel Group, Phase I Study to Assess the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Midostaurin in Subjects With Impaired Hepatic Function and Subjects With Normal Hepatic Function.

The purpose of this international study was to assess the effect of varying degrees of impaired hepatic function compared to a normal hepatic function (Child-Pugh classification) on the pharmacokinetics and safety of midostaurin.

Read the detailed description

Midostaurin was developed for the treatment of patients with hematological and nonhematological malignancies. However, disease complications and various co-medications made it difficult to perform a hepatic impairment study in the targeted patient population.

Metabolism and elimination of midostaurin predominantly occurs in the liver. Patients with impaired hepatic function may have a higher risk to have a decreased elimination or metabolism of midostaurin which may lead to increased systemic exposure or toxicity, hence understanding the impact of an impaired hepatic function on midostaurin PK is important.

Cumulative safety data from over 900 subjects exposed to midostaurin showed that the drug was well tolerated in patients and in healthy subjects, thus, it was appropriate and justifiable to study midostaurin in subjects with varying degrees of hepatic impairment.

Due to the difficulty in enrolling subjects with severe hepatic impairment, an interim analysis was performed when all mild and moderate hepatic impaired subjects, and the respective control subjects, had completed the trial, in order to obtain interim results on the PK and safety of midostaurin in patients with mild and moderate hepatic impairment. The protocol was amended in April 2018 to make the inclusion / exclusion criteria more fitting with enrolling the severe hepatic impairment group. The final study analysis was performed when all severe hepatic impaired subjects, and the matching controls, had completed the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Peak Plasma Concentrations (Cmax) for midostaurin and its metabolites, CGP52421 and CGP62221

    In subjects with Child Pugh A, Child Pugh B (and matching healthy volunteers) Cmax will be measured at Day 1 and Day 7. In subjects with Child Pugh C (and matching healthy volunteers) Cmax will be measured at Day 1

    Measured: at different timepoints from Day 1 to Day 7

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (AEs)

    Safety and tolerability of midostaurin measured by the number of treatment emergent adverse events in subjects with hepatic impairment (and matching healthy volunteers)

    Measured: During the study and until 28 days follow-up period

  2. CYP3A4 induction by midostaurin in the hepatic impaired population

    CYP3A4 induction will be measured by assessing endogenous biomarkers (6beta-hydroxycortisol to cortisol ratio) applicable to multiple dosing Child Pugh A and Child Pugh B subjects and matching healthy volunteers)

    Measured: At different timepoints from Day 3 to Day 11

  3. Protein binding (free fraction) of midostaurin and it's metabolites

    Free fraction of midostaurin and it's metabolites, CGP62221 and CGP52421, will be assessed by measuring their unbound concentration in plasma samples 3 hours post last dose on Day 1 (group 4 and 5) and Day 7 (group 1-3).

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7

  4. Apparent volume of distribution (Vz/F) of midostaurin

    In subjects with Child Pugh A and Child Pugh B (and matching healthy volunteers), volume of distribution will be measured on Day 7. In subjects with Child Pugh C (and healthy volunteers), volume of distribution will be measured at Day 1.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7

  5. Total body apparent clearance of drug (CL/F) of midostaurin

    In subjects with Child Pugh A and Child Pugh B (and matching healthy volunteers), total body clearance will be measured on Day 7. In subjects with Child Pugh C (and healthy volunteers), total body clearance will be measured at Day 1.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7

  6. Elimination half life (t½) of midostaurin and its metabolites, CGP52421 and CGP62221

    In subjects with Child Pugh A and Child Pugh B (and matching healthy volunteers), elimination half life will be measured on Day 7. In subjects with Child Pugh C (and healthy volunteers), elimination half life will be measured at Day 1.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7

  7. Time to maximum plasma concentration (tmax) for midostaurin and its metabolites, CGP52421 and CGP62221

    In subjects with Child Pugh A and Child Pugh B (and matching healthy volunteers), tmax will be measured at Day 1 and Day 7. In subjects with Child Pugh C (and healthy volunteers), tmax will be measured at Day 1.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7

  8. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curves (AUCs) for midostaurin and its metabolites, CGP52421 and CGP62221

    In subjects with Child Pugh A and Child Pugh B (and matching healthy volunteers), AUC will be measured at Day 1 and Day 7. In subjects with Child Pugh C (and healthy volunteers), AUC will be measured at Day 1.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Midostaurin in people with Hepatic Impairment, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 7 sites in 6 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 10 inclusion and 20 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 12 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Germany, United States, Belgium, Bulgaria, Lithuania and 1 more country. 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?

Peak Plasma Concentrations (Cmax) for midostaurin and its metabolites, CGP52421 and CGP62221 (time frame: at different timepoints from Day 1 to Day 7). 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 12 May 2021.
