What is being measured

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

  1. Phase 1 Part: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a study subject administered an investigational drug and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

    A SAE was an AE that met one or more of the following criteria:

    • Results in death
    • Is life-threatening
    • Requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
    • Results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity
    • Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect
    • Is an important medical event that may jeopardize the subject or may require a medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. Examples of such medical events include allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in inpatient hospitalization.

    An ADR was defined as adverse events assessed to be related to the investigational drug

    Measured: Between initial dosing of the investigational drug and final evaluation in the follow-up observation period, about 17 months

  2. Phase 1 Part: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    DLT was defined as an adverse event meeting any of the following that occurred during the DLT evaluation period in any participants given BBI608 with the causal relationship to BBI608 assessed as "Definite," "Probable," or "Possible." The severity of adverse events was graded according to the CTCAE v4.0-JCOG.

    • Grade 4 neutropenia persisting for ≥ 7 days
    • Grade ≥ 3 febrile neutropenia persisting for ≥ 5 days
    • Grade 3 thrombocytopenia requiring platelet transfusions, grade 4 thrombocytopenia
    • Grade ≥ 3 non-hematotoxicity except the following:
    1. Inappetence, nausea, vomiting and electrolyte abnormality which, within 3 days of onset, improved to grade ≤ 2 or resolved after appropriate treatment
    2. Diarrhoea and fatigue which, within 5 days of onset, improved to grade ≤ 2 or resolved after appropriate treatment
    • Other clinically significant signs in the opinion of the investigator

    Measured: From Day 1 of Cycle 1 to Day 24 pre-dose examination (23 days)

  3. Phase 1 Part: Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) and Minimum Observed Concentration (Cmin) of BBI608 When Administered With Pem and CDDP

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1 (Cmax only) and Day 23

  4. Phase 1 Part: Area Under the Concentration-time Curve

    AUC0-12: Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to 12 hours, AUC0-24: Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to 24 hours, AUC0-inf: Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1 and Day 23

  5. Phase 2 Part: Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from BBI608 administration to documented PD (as assessed according to the mRECIST or RECIST 1.1) or death, whichever is earlier. The result of imaging assessment by the imaging assessment committee was used for phase 2 part.

    Measured: From BBI608 administration to documented PD or death, whichever is earlier, about 17 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Best Overall Response

    The best overall response is the best response recorded from the start of the study treatment until the end of treatment. The RECIST 1.1 was used for the evaluation of tumor response and overall response in patients with NSCLC, and also the evaluation of any non-pleural lesions in patients with MPM. The mRECIST was used for the evaluation of tumor response and overall response in patients with MPM. The result of imaging assessment by study site was used for phase 1 part, and the result of imaging assessment by the imaging assessment committee was used for phase 2 part.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks from the first dose of BBI608 until Week 30, and every 9 weeks from Week 31.

  2. Response Rate (RR) and Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Response rate (RR): Proportion of subjects whose best overall response is CR or PR.

    Disease control rate (DCR): Proportion of subjects whose best overall response is CR, PR or SD.

    The result of imaging assessment by study site was used for phase 1 part, and the result of imaging assessment by the imaging assessment committee was used for phase 2 part.

    Measured: From BBI608 administration to death from any cause, about 17 months

  3. Overall Survival(OS)

    OS was defined as the time from BBI608 administration to death from any cause. Participants alive at final observation or lost to follow-up were censored at their last contact (i.e., visit or telephone) date.

    Measured: From BBI608 administration to death from any cause, up to 31 months

  4. Respiratory Function Tests (Vital Capacity [VC] and Forced Vital Capacity [FVC])

    Measured: Every 6 weeks from the first dose of BBI608 until Week 30, and then every 9 weeks from Week 31 [Actually up to Week 111]

  5. Respiratory Function Tests (Forced Expiratory Volume in the First Second [FEV1])

    Measured: Every 6 weeks from the first dose of BBI608 until Week 30, and then every 9 weeks from Week 31 [Actually up to Week 111]

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing BBI608, Pemetrexed and Cisplatin in people with Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd. at 2 sites in Japan.

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 31 inclusion and 15 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 12 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Japan. 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 1 Oct 2021). 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 1 Part: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) (time frame: Between initial dosing of the investigational drug and final evaluation in the follow-up observation period, about 17 months). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Apr 2022.
