About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib/2 Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetic Characteristics and Preliminary Efficacy of Fruquintinib Combined With Paclitaxel in Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer

An open-label, dose escalation and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase II dose (RPTD) study of fruquintinib combined with paclitaxel in patients with advanced gastric cancer who did not respond to first-line standard chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

In dose escalation period, 12-24 patients with advanced gastric cancer will be enrolled. Patients meeting enrollment eligibility will receive 28-day cycles of fruquintinib 2-5 mg qd combined with paclitaxel 80 mg/m2. Safety information and pharmacokinetic data will be collected till disease progression or intolerable toxicity to determine MTD and/or RPTD of fruquintinib combined with paclitaxel in patients with advanced gastric cancer. This period will include the following 4 dose groups from low to high:

A: Fruquintinib 2 mg qd for 3 weeks followed by 1-week break + paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 once a week during the first three weeks of each cycle B: Fruquintinib 3 mg qd for 3 weeks followed by 1-week break + paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 once a week during the first three weeks of each cycle C: Fruquintinib 4 mg qd for 3 weeks followed by 1-week break + paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 once a week during the first three weeks of each cycle D: Fruquintinib 5 mg qd for 3 weeks followed by 1-week break + paclitaxel 80mg/m2 once a week during the first three weeks of each cycle This study will use traditional 3+3 trial design (3 subjects will be enrolled in each dose group first. If 1 case of DLT is observed, additional 3 subjects will be enrolled in the same dose group to further evaluate toxicity) to observe DLT and evaluate MTD. If there are 2 or more cases of DLT in one dose group, the group lower than this dose group by one level is MTD dose group. At least 6 subjects are required in MTD dose group for confirmation. If MTD is not achieved at the end of dose escalation and there are 6 subjects in the highest dose group, RPTD can be determined based on obtained safety, tolerability, PK and efficacy information. Dose escalation and study in the next dose group can be initiated only after the first treatment cycle (DLT window observation period) is completed and subject safety and tolerability are confirmed in this dose group (0/3 or ≤1/6 subjects experience DLT).

Subjects in the original dose group will continue to receive the next cycle of treatment at the original dose till disease progression or treatment withdrawal due to any of the following reasons: 1) death, 2) intolerable toxicity, 3) pregnancy, 4) the investigator considers the study should be terminated for the subject's best interests, 5) the subject or legal representative requests withdrawal, 6) loss to follow-up, 7) the subject has poor compliance and cannot comply with the study protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of DLT

    Measured: every subject's DLT observation window is 4 weeks

  2. progression free survival of RP2D

    using RECIST v1.1 progressive disease (PD), using RECIST v 1.1

    Measured: from first dose up to progressive disease or EOT due to any cause, assessed up to 1 year

  3. safety and tolerance

    Safety and tolerance will be evaluated by incidence, severity and outcomes of adverse events (AEs) and categorized by severity in accordance with the NCI CTC AE Version 4.0.

    Measured: From first dose to within 30 days after the last dose

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    using RECIST v 1.1

    Measured: from first dose up to progressive disease or EOT due to any cause, assessed up to 1 year]

  2. Disease control rate (DCR)

    using RECIST v 1.1

    Measured: From first dose up to progressive disease or EOT due to any cause, assessed up to 1 year]

  3. Pharmacokinetic profiles of Fruquintinib combined with Paclitaxel

    PK sampling of Fruquintinibwill include a pre-dose and 1,2,4,8,24 hours time-point at Day 2 and day 15 of dosing in the first 28-day cycle; PK sampling of Paclitaxel will include a pre-dose and at 0.25,1,2,4,8, and 24 hours time-point on day 1 and day 15 of dosing in the first 28-day cycle

    Measured: From first dose up to day 15 in the first 28-day cycle

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing fruquintinib+paclitaxel in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Hutchison Medipharma Limited at 3 sites in China.

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 8 inclusion and 7 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 17 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in China. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 DLT (time frame: every subject's DLT observation window is 4 weeks). The study lists 3 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 NCT02415023, 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 17 Feb 2020.
