About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Single Arm, Multicenter Phase II Study of BKM120 in Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck Who Failed to Respond to Platinum-based Therapy

This study is to evaluate disease control rate (DCR) at 8 weeks of BKM120 administered as therapy for patient with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

One promising approach to the treatment of cancer is inhibition or modulating the crucial signal transduction pathway of PI3K-Akt-mTOR. Several PI3K inhibitors are being tested in the clinical trials for cancer treatment but not for the head and neck cancer yet. BKM120 is a specific Pan-class I PI3K inhibitor. We suggest multicenter single arm phase II study to determine anti-tumor effects of BKM120 in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic SCCHN who failed to prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimens.

What participants receive

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

  • BKM120Drug

    Also called NVP-BKM120, BKM-120

    Patients will be instructed to take BKM120 orally at a dose of 100 mg with a glass of water once daily, in a fasting state or with a light fat-free meal, and as close as possible to the same time each day. The patient will be dosed on a flat scale of mg/day and not be adjusted to body weight or body surface area. If vomiting occurs no attempt should be made to replace the dose.

    • BKM120 should be taken 1-hour following a light meal. Please note that patients must avoid consumption of Seville orange (and juice), grapefruit or grapefruit juice, grapefruit hybrids, pummelos and exotic citrus fruits from 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug and during the entire study treatment period due to potential CYP3A4 interaction. Regular orange juice is allowed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease control rate at 8 weeks

    The disease control rate (DCR) is defined as the proportion of randomized patients achieving a best overall response of PR or CR or SD, defined by RECIST criteria (version 1.1), relative to the total number of patients in the considered analysis population (ITT).

    Measured: Eight weeks after administration of the drug

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Overall response rate (ORR)

    Overall objective response rate (ORR) is the best response rate stipulated as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) (target lesion and tumor response defined according to RECIST guideline version 1.1) and identified as percentage of the confirmed patients.

    Measured: Every 8 weeks from date of first treatment until date of last treatment up to 24 months

  2. Toxicity profile

    From C1D1 to 1 months after the last dose adminitration

    Overall safety profile verified as relevance of adverse events and laboratory abnormality in the study and grades granted based on (USA National Cancer Center) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events such as the type, frequency and severity (CTCAE), v4.0.

    Measured: Every 4 weeks from date of first treatment until date of last treatment up to 24 months

  3. Overall survival

    From C1D1 to death

    Measured: Every 8 weeks from date of first treatment until the date of death from any cause, assessed approximately up to 24 months

  4. Progression-free survival

    From C1D1 until confirmed disease progression or death

    Measured: Every 8 weeks from date of first treatment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed approximately up to 24 months

  5. Quality of life assessment

    Quality of life assessment will be performed using FACT-HN\& questionnaire

    FACT-H\&N questionnaire includes physical well-being (PWB), social/family well-being (SWB), emotional well-being (EWB), functional well-being (FWB), and head \& neck cancer subscale (HNCS).

    Patients will be evaluation on baseline, day 1 of every cycle (4 weeks), and end of treatment.

    Measured: Every 4 weeks from date of first treatment until the date of death from any cause, assessed approximately up to 24 months

  6. Time to progression (TTP)

    From C1D1 until confirmed disease progression.

    Measured: Every 8 weeks from date of first treatment until the date of first documented progression, assessed approximately up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BKM120 in people with Head Neck Cancer Squamous Cell Metastatic and Head Neck Cancer Squamous Cell Recurrent, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 16 inclusion and 16 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2012. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Byoung Chul Cho, M.D., Ph.D. (82-2-2228-8126, cbc1971@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Disease control rate at 8 weeks (time frame: Eight weeks after administration of the drug). 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 NCT01527877, 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 8 Oct 2012.
