About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Phase 2 Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of CPI-613 in Cancer Patients

This Phase II study is conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of CPI-613 in patients with advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors for whom there there is no available therapy to provide clinical benefit or for those who have refused further standard therapy. The primary outcome measure is Overall Survival (OS). The secondary outcome measures are: Response Rate (RR), Progression-Free Survival (PFS), and safety.

Read the detailed description

Open-Label Single-Arm Design: This is an open-label study, and investigators and subjects are not blinded to the treatment. Also, the assignment of patients will not be randomized, since this is a single-arm study.

Treatment with CPI-613: A treatment cycle is 4 weeks, with CPI-613 given on Days 1 and 4 of the first 3 weeks.

Dose and Sample Size: The dose of CPI-613 is 3,000 mg/m2. This is Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) determined from the Phase I dose-escalated trial, Study# CL-CPI-613-009 (conducted in patients with hematologic malignancies under IND 107,800). This dose has also been found to be well tolerated in another Phase I dose-escalated trial, Study# CL-CPI-613-002 (conducted in patients with solid tumor under IND 74,530). There will be 20 evaluable patients with each tumor type. Once there are 20 evaluable patients with a particular tumor type has been treated with at least 1 cycle, no patients of the same tumor type will be accrued. Dosing Delay and Dose Modification of CPI-613 in the Event of Adverse Events: For adverse events unrelated to serum creatinine elevation or reduction in renal function but are possibly related to CPI-613, the occurrence of Grade 1 toxicity does not generally require dose modification for subsequent doses for that patient. However, if Grade 2 toxicity (other than alopecia and nausea) probably related to CPI-613 develops, treatment is to be withheld and can resume only after the Grade 2 toxicity has been reduced to Grade 1 or below, and the dose level for subsequent doses for that patient will be reduced by 25% of the dose at which such Grade 2 toxicity occurs. Grade 2 alopecia and nausea do not require withholding treatment or dose reduction. If Grade 3 or 4 toxicity probably related to CPI-613 develops, dosing of CPI-613 of that patient will be withheld and the patient shall be monitored for recovery from, and reversibility of, such Grade 3 or 4 toxicity. To resume treatment with CPI-613 for a patient who has had CPI-613-related Grade 3 or 4 toxicity, the Grade 3 or 4 toxicity must be reduced to Grade 1 or below, and the dose level for subsequent doses for that patient will be reduced to 50% of the dose at which such Grade 3 or 4 toxicity occurs.

For adverse events related to creatinine elevation or reduction in renal function that are possibly related to CPI-613, dosing of the patient will be withheld even if the severity level is Grade 1 or above. Treatment can resume only after the toxicity has been reduced to Grade 0. The dose level for subsequent doses for that patient will be reduced by 15% if the severity level is of Grade 1, by 25% for Grade 2 toxicity, and by 50% for Grade 3 or 4 toxicity.

Furthermore, if the toxicity possibly related to CPI-613 is acute renal failure and the severity level is Grade 3 or 4, further patient enrollment will be temporarily suspended in order to enable assessment of the following aspects of the trial and implementation of corrective measures or protocol amendment, and if necessary:

  • compliance of the study sites and investigators to the study protocol
  • evaluation of the appropriateness of the procedures for monitoring renal function

What participants receive

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

  • CPI-613Drug

    Also called 6,8-bis-benzylsulfanyloctanoic acid, 6,8-bis(benzylthio)octanoic acid, 6,8-bis-benzylsulfonyloctanoic acid, Bylantra (tentative)

    CPI-613 drug product, provided in concentrated form at 50 mg/mL, must be diluted with D5W prior to administration. CPI-613 is to be infused intravenously (IV) via a central venous catheter. CPI-613 will be given 2x weekly, administered on Days 1 and 4 of each of the 3 treatment weeks, followed by a week of rest. The dose of CPI-613 will be 3,000 mg/m2 infused IV over 2 hours (this is the maximum tolerated dosing [MTD]), via a central venous catheter with D5W running at a rate of about 125-150 mL/hr.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Measured: Monitored until participants pass away, for an expected average of 6 months.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Measured: Monitored during treatment with CPI-613 and until participants passed away, which will be an expected average of 6 months.

  2. Safety

    Safety assessment will be based on clinical signs, vital signs, blood work, adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), etc.

    Measured: Monitored just before study treatment, and during study treatment at the end of every 4-week treatment cycle, for an expected average of 20 weeks.

  3. Response Rate

    Measured: Monitored at the end of every 4-week treatment cycle during treatment with CPI-613, for an expected average of 20 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CPI-613 in people with Cancer, run by Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals at 1 site 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 13 inclusion and 20 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 29 Dec 2016. 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 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 phase mean?

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?

The study was stopped 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?

Overall Survival (OS) (time frame: Monitored until participants pass away, for an expected average of 6 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 NCT01832857, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Dec 2016.
