About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-Label, Dose-Finding Study of Afuresertib Administered in Combination With Either Enzalutamide (Xtandi) or Abiraterone (Zytiga) in Male Subjects With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)

This study is being conducted to characterize the safety and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of combining afuresertib, independently with 2 approved drugs: enzalutamide (Xtandi®, "Xtandi is a trademark of Astellas Pharma, Inc." ) and abiraterone (Zygita®, "Zytiga is a trademark of Janssen Biotech, Inc."). The study will be conducted in two parts. Part 1, a dose escalation phase, will establish RP2D of afuresertib when administered with enzalutamide or abiraterone. Part 2, a dose expansion phase, will further evaluate long-term safety of the combinations at the RP2Ds in additional subjects. Dose-finding cohorts will be studied in parallel and will evaluate safety and pharmacokinetic to guide selection of the dose regimens for further evaluation. Part 2 will begin once the RP2Ds have been established in Part 1. Additional doses and/or schedules may be explored if warranted, based upon the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) assessments or emerging preclinical evidence. Overall, approximately 60 chemotherapy-naïve subjects with mCRPC and who are receiving either enzalutamide or abiraterone will be enrolled into the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and dose limiting toxicities as a safety measure.

    All AEs and SAEs will be collected and recorded from receipt of first dose of study drug until 30 days after the last dose of study drug, or until the start of subsequent therapy.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug until 30 days after last dose of study drug (assessed up to average of 6 months).

  2. Change from baseline in composite of laboratory parameters as a safety measure: hematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis.

    Changes in the laboratory parameter including hematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis will be assessed as a measure of safety tolerability and to establish RP2D.

    Measured: From baseline up to end of treatment (assessed up to average of 6 months).

  3. Change from baseline in electrocardiogram values as a safety measure.

    Changes in electrocardiograms (ECGs) values will be assessed as a measure of safety, tolerability and to establish RP2D.

    Measured: From baseline up to average of 6 months.

  4. Change from baseline in composite of vital signs as a safety measure: blood pressure, temperature and pulse rate.

    Changes in vital sign values of blood pressure, temperature and pulse rate will be assessed as a measure of safety, tolerability and to establish RP2D.

    Measured: Pre-dose and 2 hours post dose sample will be collected on Day 8 of Cycle 1.

  7. Number of participants with adverse events, serious adverse events and dose limiting toxicities to establish RP2D of afuresertib.

    All AEs and SAEs will be collected and recorded from receipt of first dose of study drug until 30 days after the last dose of study drug, or until the start of subsequent therapy.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (28 days).

  8. Change from baseline in composite of laboratory parameters to establish RP2D of afuresertib: hematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis.

    Changes in the laboratory parameter including hematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis will be assessed as a measure of safety tolerability and to establish RP2D.

    Measured: From baseline up to 28 days (Cycle 1).

  9. Change from baseline in electrocardiogram values to establish RP2D of afuresertib.

    Changes in electrocardiograms (ECGs) will be assessed as a measure of safety, tolerability and to establish RP2D.

    Measured: From baseline up to 28 days (Cycle 1).

  10. Change from baseline composite of vital sign values to establish RP2D of afuresertib: blood pressure, temperature and pulse rate.

    Changes in vital sign values of blood pressure, temperature and pulse rate will be assessed as a measure of safety, tolerability and to establish RP2D.

    Measured: From baseline up to 28 days (Cycle 1).

Secondary outcomes (3)

  1. Composite of afuresertib PK parameters following administration with enzalutamide: AUC and Cmax.

    PK profile of afuresertib will be established following administration with enzalutamide by assessing AUC and Cmax.

    Measured: Blood samples will be collected at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours post dose on Day 1of Cycle 1.

  2. Composite of enzalutamide PK parameters following administration alone and in combination with afuresertib: AUC and Cmax.

    PK profile of enzalutamide will be establish by assessing AUC and Cmax when administered alone and in combination with afuresertib.

    Measured: Blood samples will be collected at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 24 hours post dose on Day-1 and Day 1 in Cycle 2.

  3. Composite of PK parameters following administration afuresertib and abiraterone alone and in combination with each other: AUC and Cmax.

    PK profile of afuresertib and abiraterone will be establish by assessing AUC and Cmax when administered alone and in combination with each other.

    Measured: Blood samples will be collected at pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours post dose on Day 15 of Cycle 1 and Day 1 of Cycle 2 for afuresertib and on Day-1 and Day 1 in Cycle 2 for abiraterone.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Afuresertib, Enzalutamide and Abiraterone in people with Cancer, run by GlaxoSmithKline.

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 9 inclusion and 18 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 6 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Number of participants with adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and dose limiting toxicities as a safety measure. (time frame: From first dose of study drug until 30 days after last dose of study drug (assessed up to average of 6 months).). The study lists 10 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 NCT02380313.

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 6 Oct 2016.
