About this study

Official title: A Phase IB, Multicenter, Open-label Dose Escalation Study of the PI3K Inhibitor BYL719 in Combination With the HSP90 Inhibitor AUY922 in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer Carrying a Molecular Alteration of PIK3CA or an Amplification of HER2

The study is intended to investigate the safety of BYL719 and AUY922 in patients with advanced gastric cancer, and to determine the MTD and/or RDE of both drugs in combination. In addition, the preliminary efficacy of BYL719 in combination with AUY922, and the pharmacokinetics of both drugs will be assessed. Patients will be eligible for this study, if their tumors carry either a molecular alteration of PIK3CA, or an amplification of HER2.

The study includes a dose escalation part followed by a safety expansion phase.

    AUY922 is a non-geldanamycin inhibitor of the heat shock protein 90 (HSP90).

  • BYL719Drug

    BYL719 is an oral α-specific phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor.

Study groups in NCT01613950
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
BYL719 + AUY922ExperimentalDose finding study to estimate the maximum tolerated dose(s) (MTD) and/or recommended dose(s) for safety expansion (RDE) followed by an expansion phase to further assess the safety and preliminary activity of the combination. BYL719 tablets will be administered orally on a daily schedule (q.d.). a b.i.d. regimen may be explored. AUY922 will be administered by IV infusion once per week.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AUY922 and BYL719 in people with Stomach Neoplasms Esophageal Neoplasms Metastatic Gastric Cancer Mutated PI3KCA Protein Overexpressed HER2 Protein, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 9 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 8 inclusion and 10 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 9 Dec 2020. 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, Germany, South Korea, Japan, Switzerland 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?

Incidence rate of Dose Limiting Toxicities. (time frame: cycle 1). 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 9 Dec 2020.
