About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib, Open-label, Multi-center, Two-arm, Dose-finding Study to Assess Safety and Efficacy of the Oral Combination or INC424 (INC424) and BKM120 in Patients With Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF), Postpolycythemia Vera-myelofibrosis (PPV-MF), or Post-essential Thrombocythemia-myelofibrosis (PET-MF)

The purpose of this phase Ib clinical trial is to evaluate the safety of the combination of INC424 and BKM120 in the myelofibrosis population and to establish the maximum tolerated dose and or the Recommended Phase II dose of the combination guided by the Bayesian dose escalation model. INC424 has shown efficacy in myelofibrosis (MF) and is approved in the US and EU for the treatment of MF. BKM120 is a PI3K inhibitor. Preclinical and early clinical experience support inhibition of the PI3K/mTOR pathway in MF as aberrant activation of the pathway has been observed in MF models and may contribute to the pathogenesis of the disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of dose limiting toxicities

    The incidence of dose limiting toxicities will be analyzed to establish the maximum tolerated dose. To assess the maximum tolerated dose, labs and adverse events are monitored.

    Measured: baseline, when the maximum tolerated dose is established.

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Frequency of adverse events

    Adverse Events are monitored at each study visit and 30 days post last dose of study drug

    Measured: after each cohort is enrolled at baseline until the maximum tolerated dose is established

  2. Frequency of serious adverse events

    Serious Adverse events monitored at each study visit and 30 days post last dose of study drug

    Measured: after each cohort is enrolled at baseline until the maximum tolerated dose is established

  3. Abnormalities in vital signs

    cycle = 28 days

    Measured: baseline, days 2, 8, 15, 22 of cycle 1, day 1 and 15 at Cycle 2, Day 1 from cycle 3 to 12, day 28 on Cycle 12 and every 12 weeks from Week 60 to 96 and at End of treatment

  4. Laboratory test values including Imaging (electrocardiograms (ECGs), abdominal MRI/CT, ECHO/MUGA

    ECGs are performed baseline, days 2, 8, 15, 22 of cycle 1 then day 1 from Cycle 2 to cycle 12, and at cycle 12 day 28 and every 12 weeks and end of treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or Cat Scan (CT) performed at baseline, cycle 4 day 1, cycle 7 day 1, cycle 12 day 28, then every 24 weeks , and end of treatment if not done in past 12 weeks.

    Adverse Events are monitored at each study visit and 30 days post last dose of study drug

    Measured: after each cohort is enrolled at baseline until the maximum tolerated dose is established

  12. Severity of adverse events

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing INC424 and BKM120 in people with Myelofibrosis, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 15 sites in 9 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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 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 15 sites in United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Israel, Italy and 4 more countries. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Decision by Sponsor to to terminate the study early.). Results are not available in the source record.

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 of dose limiting toxicities (time frame: baseline, when the maximum tolerated dose is established.). 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 19 Dec 2020.
