About this study

This open-label, multi-center Phase 1/2 study will assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of escalating doses of BVD-523 in patients with advanced malignancies. The study also seeks to demonstrate target modulation and early signs of clinical response in select patient populations.

Read the detailed description

The study is being performed to assess the safety and tolerability of BVD-523

In Part 1 of the study, an accelerated dose escalation plan will be used to establish dose limiting toxicities, maximum tolerated dose, and the recommended Phase 2 dose.

In Part 2 of the study, additional patients with particular tumor types and/or cancers harboring specific genetic mutations will be recruited for treatment at the Recommended Phase 2 Dose. Patients may also be assessed pharmacodynamic measures in healthy or malignant tissues, using biomarker assays for phosphorylation, cytotoxic or cytostatic measures.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determination of Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of BVD-523 by Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT).

    DLT is defined as any BVD-523 related toxicity in the first 21 days of treatment that results in:

    1. ≥Grade 4 hematologic toxicity for >1 day;
    2. Grade 3 hematologic toxicity with complications e.g., thrombocytopenia with bleeding;
    3. ≥Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity, except untreated nausea, vomiting, constipation, pain and rash (these become DLTs if the adverse event (AE) persists despite adequate treatment), a doubling of aspartate transaminase (AST)/alanine transaminase (ALT) in patients with grade 2 ALT/AST at baseline;
    4. A treatment interruption exceeding 5 days (or an interruption exceeding 7 days for rash, despite adequate treatment) in Cycle 1 (or inability to begin Cycle 2 for > 7 days) due to BVD-523-related toxicity.

    Measured: As indicated by safety and tolerability during study conduct; ~42 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Characterization of the Time Versus Plasma Concentration Profiles of BVD-523 and Selected Metabolites.

    Data provided is for BVD-523.

    Measured: Samples will be collected on day 1 and day 15 of Cycle 1

  2. Clinical Evidence of Tumor Response Assessed by Physical or Radiological Exam.

    At enrollment, all study patients had metastatic or advanced-stage malignant tumor for which no curative therapy was known to exist. Patients entering Part 2 additionally had to have measurable disease by RECIST version 1.1. Data shown is best response.

    Measured: Patients will be evaluated at baseline & at periodic follow-up visits through the time their participation in the study is completion. The best responses presented occurred at different time points for each patient.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing BVD-523 in people with Advanced Solid Tumors, run by BioMed Valley Discoveries, Inc 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 15 inclusion and 12 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 20 Mar 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. 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 20 Mar 2020). 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?

Determination of Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of BVD-523 by Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT). (time frame: As indicated by safety and tolerability during study conduct; ~42 months). 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 NCT01781429, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 20 Mar 2020.
