About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of the PI3-Kinase Inhibitor BKM120 in Combination With Gemcitabine and Cisplatin in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best doses of buparlisib, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and cisplatin in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body. Buparlisib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving buparlisib, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and cisplatin may be a better treatment for solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To describe the dose-limiting toxicities, maximally tolerated dose, and identify the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of the combination of BKM120 (buparlisib), gemcitabine (gemcitabine hydrochloride), and cisplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To describe safety and tolerability of the combination of BKM120, gemcitabine, and cisplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors.

II. To describe preliminary evidence of efficacy with this combination. III. To describe any pharmacokinetic (PK) effect of gemcitabine and cisplatin on the plasma concentrations of BKM120.

IV. To evaluate phosphatidylinositol-4, 5-bisphosphate 3-kinase, catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) mutations as predictive biomarkers of efficacy for the combination.

  1. To evaluate PIK3CA polymorphisms and polymorphisms in BKM120 transport and metabolism as predictors of toxicity and/or efficacy.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive buparlisib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21, gemcitabine hydrochloride intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8, and cisplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) CTCAE version 4.0

    Adverse events will be coded and evaluated for severity using NCI-CTCAE, version 4.0 and will be summarized by system organ class and preferred term.

    Measured: Up to 21 days

  2. Maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) defined as the maximum dose level at which less than or equal to 1 out of 6 patients have DLTs using NCI CTCAE version 4.0

    Measured: Up to 21 days

Secondary outcomes (7)

  1. Disease control rate using RECIST (CR, PR, and SD)

    Measured: Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment

  2. Objective response rate (ORR) calculated as the number of patients with a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) divided by the total number of patients using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)

    Tumor response will be summarized for the evaluable patient population, and the 95% confidence interval for ORR (CR+PR) will be presented.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment

  3. PIK3CA mutations

    Will be assessed as potential predictive biomarkers of efficacy for the combination.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment

  4. PIK3CA polymorphisms

    Measured: Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment

  5. PK effect of gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin on buparlisib

    PK parameters include time to reach maximum concentration (Tmax), maximum concentration (Cmax), clearance (CL), half-life (T1/2), area under the curve (AUC)0-infinity, and AUC0-t for the dosing interval following multiple dose administration.

    Measured: Pre-dose and at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 hours post-dose on day 21 of course 1, and pre-dose and 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 hours post-dose on day 1 of course 2 (or day 3 of course 2 for the 2 days off, 5 days on dosing schedule)

  6. Polymorphisms in buparlisib transport and metabolism

    Will be assessed as potential predictors of toxicity and/or efficacy.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment

  7. RECIST response

    The number and percent of patients qualifying for each RECIST response category (CR, PR, stable disease [SD], and progressive disease [PD]).

    Measured: Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Buparlisib, Cisplatin and Gemcitabine Hydrochloride in people with Adult Solid Neoplasm and Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute 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 16 inclusion and 46 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 27 Apr 2023. 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 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 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?

Incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) CTCAE version 4.0 (time frame: Up to 21 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01971489.

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 27 Apr 2023.
