About this study

Official title: A Phase IB Dose Escalation and Expansion Trial of MEK 162 With Docetaxel in Previously Treated Stage IV, Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

This phase Ib trial studies the safety and best dose of binimetinib when given in combination with docetaxel in treating patients with previously treated, stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Binimetinib and docetaxel may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of MEK162 (binimetinib) with docetaxel 75 mg/m2 every 21 days in patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that have progressed after at least one prior systemic therapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine objective tumor response rate (RR) as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 with MEK162 and standard doses of docetaxel in stage IV NSCLC.

II. Determine progression free survival (PFS) of MEK162 and standard doses of docetaxel.

III. Evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of MEK162 when given along with docetaxel.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Evaluate tissue biomarkers in baseline tumors and at the time of progression to correlate with clinical outcome II. Assess the activation status of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), protein kinase B (Akt) and ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6K) in tumor biopsy samples at baseline and at the time of progression.

III. Determine the cytokine profile before and after treatment in patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of binimetinib.

Patients receive binimetinib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-21 and docetaxel intravenously (IV) on day 21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who have stable disease or better after completing 6 courses of binimetinib and docetaxel may continue receiving binimetinib PO BID in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then annually for up to 5 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of adverse events, graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)4.03

    Side effects will be tabulated according to grade and will do sub-analysis based on patient demographic categories such as age and ECOG performance status.

    Measured: Up to 30 days post-treatment

  2. Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities, graded according to the CTCAE v4.03

    Side effects will be tabulated according to grade and will do sub-analysis based on patient demographic categories such as age and ECOG performance status.

    Measured: 21 days

  3. Maximum tolerated dose of binimetinib in combination with docetaxel

    Measured: 21 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Biomarker analyses

    Will determine if there is a correlation of baseline biomarkers and objective tumor response. For categorical markers will use Fisher's exact test to examine the relationship with response and different categorical variables at specific time points. For quantitative markers will use one-way analysis of variance to compare the marker levels between response categories. Correlations between pairs of quantitative markers will be performed using Pearson correlations if the marker distributions are approximately normal. For non-normality will use the Kendall correlation coefficients.

    Measured: Up to 30 days post-treatment

  2. Mutations in KRAS and NRAS

    Will determine if there is a correlation of response in patients treated with docetaxel and binimetinib with mutations in KRAS and NRAS.

    Measured: Up to 30 days post-treatment

  3. Objective tumor response rate (the rate of complete response or partial response), as defined by RECIST 1.1

    The proportion ever achieving a clinical and objective tumor response will be estimated and will construct an exact one-sided 90% confidence interval to identify the likely range for the underlying tumor response rate. Tumor response will be correlated with biomarkers as well as other patient characteristics such as ECOG performance status, k-ras and neuroblastoma RAS viral oncogene homolog (n-ras) mutational status using a variety of analytic techniques.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  4. Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile will assess binimetinib (MEK162) levels during treatment cycles

    Analyzed by tabulation of PK values with mean and standard deviation at each time point.

    Measured: On days 1 and 8 of course 1 and on day 1 of course 2

  5. Progression free survival

    Cox-proportional hazards regression models will be used to correlate time to disease progression to both quantitative and categorical variables. Survival distributions will be estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method and significant differences between survival rates will be calculated with the log-rank test.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Binimetinib, Docetaxel and Laboratory Biomarker Analysis in people with Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma and Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site 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 17 inclusion and 21 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 24 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 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?

Incidence of adverse events, graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)4.03 (time frame: Up to 30 days post-treatment). 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?
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 24 Jul 2020.
