Trial summary

This phase II trial studies how well sapanisertib works in treating patients with lung cancer that is stage IV or has come back (recurrent) and has a mutation in the NFE2L2, KEAP-1, or KRAS gene. Damage to these genes may cause the cancer to grow. Sapanisertib may stop this from happening by blocking enzymes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of MLN0128 (TAK-228) in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancers Harboring NFE2L2 and KEAP1 Mutations

This phase II trial studies how well sapanisertib works in treating patients with lung cancer that is stage IV or has come back (recurrent) and has a mutation in the NFE2L2, KEAP-1, or KRAS gene. Damage to these genes may cause the cancer to grow. Sapanisertib may stop this from happening by blocking enzymes.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. Evaluate the overall response rate of the TORC1/TORC2 inhibitor sapanisertib (MLN0128 [TAK-228]) in stage IV squamous cell lung cancers or KRAS mutant lung cancers harboring NFE2L2 or KEAP1 mutations.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the median progression free survival of patients in each cohort. II. To explore the feasibility of performing reverse phase protein array analysis (RPPA) in paired snap-frozen core biopsies from patients in this study prior to MLN0128 (TAK-228) dosing and during week 2 of treatment.

III. To describe the effectiveness of MLN0128 (TAK-228) in suppressing activation of mTOR and PI3K signaling through the exploratory RPPA analysis.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive sapanisertib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 4 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate (Complete Response [CR] + Partial Response [PR])

    Overall response rate (CR+PR) will be calculated separately for each cohort, including exact 95% confidence intervals. Duration of overall response and duration of stable disease will be calculated and summarized. Overall response rate was determined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1). Complete Response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR): at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

    Measured: CT imaging was obtained after every 2 cycles, or 8 weeks, starting from cycle 1 day 1 until end of study treatment, up to 1 year.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression-free Survival

    Median progression-free survival will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method with a two-sided 95% confidence interval. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a unequivocal increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions

    Measured: From start of treatment (cycle 1 day 1) until the date of first documented progression or death, over the trial enrollment period, up to 1 year.

  2. Feasibility of Reverse Phase Protein Array Analysis, Defined as the Ability to Procure Sufficient Quantity and Quality of Tumor Protein for Sample

    Single target signaling changes will be reported as percentages relative to the baseline pre-treatment tumor sample. Larger scale pathway changes will qualitatively represented through heatmaps.

    Measured: Up to week 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, Pharmacological Study and Sapanisertib in people with Recurrent Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Stage IV Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma AJCC v7, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 20 inclusion and 12 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 5 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 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 phase mean?

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 5 Apr 2022). 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?

Objective Response Rate (Complete Response [CR] + Partial Response [PR]) (time frame: CT imaging was obtained after every 2 cycles, or 8 weeks, starting from cycle 1 day 1 until end of study treatment, up to 1 year.). 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 5 Apr 2022.
