Trial summary

The goal of a phase Ib clinical trial is to find the doses of drugs that are safe. Although BGJ398 has been given to patients safely on its own, it has never been given together with imatinib mesylate. In this study, we will test the safety of taking BGJ398 with imatinib mesylate.

About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib/II Study of BGJ398 in Combination With Imatinib Mesylate in Patients With Untreated Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST)

The goal of a phase Ib clinical trial is to find the doses of drugs that are safe. Although BGJ398 has been given to patients safely on its own, it has never been given together with imatinib mesylate. In this study, we will test the safety of taking BGJ398 with imatinib mesylate. The investigators will learn this by closely checking for side effects that the patient may experience. Side effects can be seen in laboratory studies, on physical examination, or by asking the patient.Once a dose has been determined to be safe, a larger Phase II study will be done in patients with advanced GIST who have never received any prior treatments.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
BGJ398 With Imatinib MesylateExperimentalBGJ398 With Imatinib Mesylate In the phase Ib portion of the study, patients will receive imatinib at 400 mg once daily and BGJ398 at the standard 3+3 escalation doses for 21 days on, 7 days off (treatment schedule A).Using treatment schedule A, if dose level 1 to -2 is identified as the MTD and concern exists regarding therapeutic activity of BGJ398 at this dose level, expansions with higher dose levels (1 to 3) may be considered at the MSKCC PI's discretion, with modification of the treatment schedule. In this setting BGJ398 will be administered daily for one week followed by 3 weeks off and imatinib will be taken daily throughout the 4 week cycle period (treatment schedule B). In the phase II portion of the study, patients will receive imatinib at 400 mg once daily (standard of care first line imatinib dose) and BGJ398 at the RP2D and treatment schedule identified in the phase Ib portion of the study. One cycle is 28 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase Ib Study: Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities

    The phase Ib will be pursued in standard 3+3 format, based on toxicities encountered during the first cycle of therapy.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Phase Ib Portion: Response Rate (RR)

    (CR+PR, RECIST 1.1) and by CHOI criteria

    PHASE 1b PARTICIPANTS ONLY

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR

    Measured: 32 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Phase Ib Study: Response Rate (RR)

    defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria and by CHOI criteria,and by EORTC criteria

    PHASE 1b PARTICIPANTS ONLY

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR

    Measured: 32 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing BGJ398 and Imatinib Mesylate in people with Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST), run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 7 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 10 inclusion and 24 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 30 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 7 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 30 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?

Phase Ib Study: Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT02257541, 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 30 Mar 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
