About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Trial of the c-Met Inhibitor, Tivantinib, in Combination With FOLFOX for the Treatment of Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors (Phase I) and Previously Untreated Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of the Distal Esophagus, Gastroesophageal (GE) Junction, or Stomach (Phase II)

This study is a Phase I/II trial of Tivantinib plus FOLFOX for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors. In Phase I the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) will be determined; in Phase II patients with first-line metastatic GE cancer will be treated at the MTD. It is hypothesized that the response rate (RR) will be improved from 45% to at least 65% under this regimen.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I, open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation study with a Phase II portion planned upon reaching the Maximum Tolerated Dose or recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). Phase I: The first cycle of the Phase I portion of the trial will be considered the Dose Limiting Toxicity evaluation period. Patients with advanced solid tumors will be treated with Tivantinib on Days 1 to 14 and with FOLFOX on Day 1. Following evaluation of the Dose Limiting Toxicities, doses will be escalated/reduced according to the protocol with 3 to 6 patients treated per dose level until the Maximum Tolerated Dose is determined.

What participants receive

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

  • TivantinibDrug

    Also called ARQ 197

    Patients with advanced solid tumors will be treated with oral Tivantinib (120, 240, or 360 mg BID) daily for 14 days in cycles of 14 days.

  • FOLFOXDrug

    Also called 5-FU, Leucovorin, Oxaliplatin, Levoleucovorin

    The FOLFOX treatment regimen is started on Day 1 of each cycle and consists of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) 400 mg/m^2, 5-FU continuous IV 2400 mg/m^2 over 46 hours, leucovorin 400 mg/m^2 IV, and oxaliplatin 85 mg/m^2.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) in Phase I Dose Escalation

    Using a standard 3+3 design participants were enrolled in dose-escalating cohorts to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of tivantinib when given with FOLFOX (5-FU 400 mg/m^2, continuous IV 5-FU 2400 mg/m^2 over 46 hours, leucovorin 400 mg/m^2 IV, and oxaliplatin 85 mg/m^2). MTD is defined as the highest dose level at which no more than 1 of 6 patients experiences a DLT, assessed by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v4.

    Measured: 14 Days (1 cycle)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression Free Survival in Phase II Dose Expansion

    Defined as the time from first treatment until objective tumor progression or death from any cause. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: every 8 weeks until treatment discontinuation, projected 18 months and then every 3 months thereafter up to 5 years from start of treatment.

  2. Overall Survival in Phase II Dose Expansion

    Defined as the time from first treatment until death from any cause.

    Measured: every 8 weeks until treatment discontinuation, an expected average of 18 months, then every 12 weeks thereafter up to 5 years from start of treatment.

  3. Time to Progression in Phase II Dose Expansion

    Defined as the time from first treatment until objective tumor progression. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: every 8 weeks until progressive disease, expected 18 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Tivantinib and FOLFOX in people with Malignant Solid Tumour and Gastroesophageal Cancer, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC at 9 sites in United States.

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 20 inclusion and 17 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 23 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United States. 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 combined 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.

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 23 Nov 2016). 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?

The Incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) in Phase I Dose Escalation (time frame: 14 Days (1 cycle)). 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 23 Nov 2016.
