About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib/II, Multi-center, Open-label Study of INC280 in Combination With Buparlisib in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma

The study assessed the safety and the dose of the combination of INC280 and buparlisib (BKM120), as well as the anti-tumor activity of the combination, in patients with recurrent glioblastoma with PTEN mutations, homozygous deletion of PTEN or PTEN negative by IHC. In addition, the anti-tumor activity of INC280 single agent should have been assessed in patients with recurrent glioblastoma with c-Met alteration.

Read the detailed description

This was a multi-center, open-label, phase Ib/II study. The aim of the phase Ib part was to estimate the MTD and/or to identify the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) for the combination of INC280 and buparlisib, followed by the phase II part to assess the clinical efficacy of INC280 single agent and in combination with buparlisib (BKM120), and to further assess the safety of the combination. In addition, a surgical arm should have started concurrently with the phase II part, to determine the PK/PD profile of the study drug combination in patients undergoing tumor resection for recurrent glioblastoma after 7 to 10-days treatment.

RP2D was not declared due to a lack of efficacy of the combination in the phase Ib stage, and phase II was continued with INC280 monotherapy only.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients Reporting Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) in Cycle 1

    A DLT is defined as an adverse event or abnormal laboratory value where the relationship to study treatment cannot be ruled out, and is not primarily related to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications that occurs within the first cycle of treatment (28 days) with INC280 in combination with buparlisib and meets any of the pre-defined criteria. The maximum tolerated dose was identified as INC280 300 mg BID + buparlisib 80 mg QD.

    Measured: Cycle 1, 28 days

  2. Phase II: Progression Free Survival Rate (PFSR)

    Estimated rate of patients treated during 6 months without experiencing disease progression.

    The Progression Free Survival Rate at 6 months was to be estimated using a Bayesian model described in the protocol. The models operating characteristics were evaluated based on the enrollment of at least 30 patients enrolled. Patients did not reach the milestone for the PFSR analysis (trial terminated); as such no analysis was performed.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Phase II Surgical Arm: Concentrations of INC280 and Buparlisib in Tumor.

    Concentrations of INC280 and buparlisib in tumor tissue.

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    To characterize the safety of INC280 single agent and in combination with buparlisib including type, frequency, severity of adverse events, serious adverse events, and dose interruptions and adjustments. Adverse events will be assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03, unless otherwise specified.

    If CTCAE grading did not exist for an AE, the severity of mild, moderate, severe, and lifethreatening, corresponding to Grades 1 - 4, were used. CTCAE Grade 5 (death) was not used in this study but was collected as a seriousness criterion; rather, information about deaths was collected though a Death form.

    Measured: throughout the duration of the trial, approximately 3 years from FPFV to LPLV

  2. Pharmacokinetic Profile of INC280 - AUCtau

    Plasma concentration profile of INC280 in combination with Buparlisib. AUCtau is the AUC from time zero to the end of dosing interval.

  10. Best Overall Response (BOR)

    Best Overall Response (BOR) observed in the study population of INC280 Single Agent and in Combination with Buparlisib. Responses will be assessed by the investigators following the RANO criteria with MRI or CT scans scheduled every 8 weeks.

    Summary of the RANO response criteria: CR has no T1-Gd+ (enhancing lesion), stable or decrease T2/FLAIR (non-enhancing lesion), absence of new lesion, stable or improve in clinical status; PR has ≥50% decrease T1-Gd+ (enhancing lesion), stable or decrease T2/FLAIR (non-enhancing lesion), absence of new lesion, stable or improve in clinical status; SD has ≥50% decrease but <25% increase T1-Gd+ (enhancing lesion), stable or decrease T2/FLAIR (non-enhancing lesion), absence of new lesion, stable or improve in clinical status; PD has ≥25% increase in T1-Gd+ (enhancing lesion), increase T2/FLAIR (non-enhancing lesion), presence of new lesion, deterioration in clinical status.

    Measured: throughout the duration of the trial - approximately 3 years (from FPFV to LPLV)

  11. Overall Survival (OS)

    Survival rate of patients from start of treatment to date of death due to any cause.

    Patients did not reach the milestone for the survival data analysis (terminated early); as such no analysis was done.
