About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase II, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multi-center Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of INC280 in Adult Patients With Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Progression or Intolerance to Sorafenib Treatment

This study is establish whether INC280 is safe and has beneficial effects in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma known to have dysregulation of c-MET pathway and whose disease progressed while on, or after, treatment with sorafenib or who are intolerant to sorafenib.

Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive INC280 at 600mg BID plus best supportive care (BSC) or placebo plus BSC, until disease progression or intolerable to study treatment. Patients treated with placebo plus BSC will have the opportunity to receive INC280 treatment upon documented further disease progression (RECIST 1.1) per investigator's discretion after unblinding.

Patient will be stratified to geographical region (Asia vs Rest of World ) and tumor burden (present macroscopic vascular invasion and/or extra-hepatic spread vs not present).

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to progression using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1

    Time to progression is the time from the date of baseline evaluation to the date of the first documented radiological confirmation of disease progression.

    Measured: baseline, 6 weeks up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Best Overall Response

    Best overall response is defined as the best response recorded from the date of randomization until the date of last tumor assessment per RECIST version 1.1.

    Measured: date of treatment, every 6 weeks up to 6 months

  2. Overall Response Rate

    Overall Response Rate is defined as the proportion of patients with a best overall response of complete response or partial response at any time on study per RECIST version 1.1.

    Measured: baseline, every 6 weeks up to 6 months

  3. Disease Control Rate

    Disease control rate is defined as the proportion of patients with a best overall response of complete response, partial response or stable disease at any time on study per RECIST version 1.1.

    Measured: baseline, every 6 weeks up to 6 months

  4. Progression Free Survival

    Progression free survival is defined as the time from date of randomization to the date of the first radiologically documented progression or death due to any cause. If a patient has not experienced radiologically documented progression or death, progression free survival is censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment.

    Measured: randomization, every 6 weeks up to 6 months

  5. Overall Survival

    Overall survival is defined as the time from date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. If a patient is not known to have died, survival will be censored at the date of last contact.

    Measured: randomization until death, average 10 months

  6. Safety: adverse events, serious adverse events

    Frequency, duration and severity of adverse events.

    Measured: From baseline until 30 days post study treatment

  7. Safety: hematology and chemistry values, vital signs, electrocardiograms

    Change from baseline values.

    Measured: From baseline until end of treatment, average 6 months from baseline

  8. Tolerability of study drug

    Tolerability will be assessed by summarizing the number of dose interruptions, dose reductions and dose intensity.

    Measured: From date of randomization until end of treatment, average 6 months from baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing INC280 in people with Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 15 sites in 7 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 1 inclusion and 2 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Sep 2016. 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 France, United States, Australia, Germany, Hong Kong and 2 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Time to progression using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 (time frame: baseline, 6 weeks up to 6 months). 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 1 Sep 2016.
