2.1 Primary

  • The safety, tolerability and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination of gefitinib and BKM120 will be determined.

2.2 Secondary

  • The pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of gefitinib in combination with BKM120 will be determined.
  • The preliminary anti-tumor activity of gefitinib in combination with BKM120 will be determined.

2.3 Exploratory

  • The role of circulating tumour cells as assessed by a microfluidic device will be analyzed and the genetic alterations implicated in lung cancer, including but not limited to EGFR mutations, PI3KCA mutations, PTEN loss will be characterized.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Gefitinib and BKM120ExperimentalPatients with NSCLC who progress on treatment with single-agent EGFR TKI (e.g., gefitinib or erlotinib), and meet the clinical definition of EGFR TKI resistance (Jackman et al., 2010): 1. A tumour that harbours an EGFR mutation known to be associated with drug sensitivity 2. Previous objective clinical benefit from treatment with an EGFR TKI Patients should have systemic progression of disease (by RECIST) while on continuous treatment with gefitinib or erlotinib. Patients that have previously progressed on EGFR TKI (not in the preceding line of treatment) may also be enrolled and will receive gefitinib and BKM120 sequentially. Patients with any solid tumour-type and "activated" PI3 kinase pathway and historically known to over express EGFR may also be recruited. Once the RP2D is reached, an expansion cohort of 40 patients will be accrued for extended safety experience and to ascertain preliminary activity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Gefitinib and BKM120 in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Solid Tumors, run by National Cancer Centre, Singapore at 1 site in Singapore.

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 19 inclusion and 25 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 29 Mar 2023. 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 Singapore. 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?

Recommended phase 2 dose for gefitnib and BKM120 combination therapy (time frame: 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 29 Mar 2023.
