About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Multi-center Investigation of Efficacy of ABI-009 (Nab-sirolimus) in Patients With Advanced Malignant Perivascular Epithelioid Cell Tumors (PEComa)

A phase 2 multi-center investigation of efficacy of nab-sirolimus (formerly known as ABI-009 or nab-rapamycin) in patients with advanced malignant perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa).

Read the detailed description

This was a phase 2, single-arm, open-label, multi-center study to determine the efficacy and safety profile of nab-sirolimus in patients with advanced malignant PEComa. Patients were required to have measurable disease at baseline (per RECIST v1.1). Eligible patients received nab-sirolimus at 100 mg/m2 by IV infusion (over 30 minutes) weekly for 2 weeks followed by a week of rest (ie, on Day 1 and Day 8 in 21-day cycles). Patients remained on treatment until they experienced progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity, withdrew consent, or physician's decision. Patients who discontinued treatment entered the on-study Follow-up period for survival.

Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were performed at screening, every 6 weeks for the first year, then every 12 weeks thereafter until the end of treatment. Throughout treatment with nab-sirolimus, patients were routinely assessed for toxicities, the need for dose modifications, and response assessments.

The sample size was targeted to be ~30 patients in order to provide a reasonably precise estimate of the true ORR. Assuming an observed ORR of 30% and a sample size of 30, the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval (CI) for the estimated ORR would exclude values less than 14.7%.

The primary analysis was predefined to be conducted when all patients have had the opportunity to be treated for at least 6 months. The study remained open for 3 additional years and the final analysis occured at study closure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Best ORR was assessed by Independent Radiology Review using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 Criteria. Best overall response was the best response recorded from the start of the study treatment until the end of treatment taking into account the requirement for confirmation.

    Per RECIST v1.1, best overall response assignment depended on the findings of both target and non-target disease and also took into consideration the appearance of new lesions. Overall response rate was defined as the percentage of patients who achieve a confirmed PR or CR per RECIST 1.1. At each timepoint, objective tumor response for target lesions were assessed as such: Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions, and pathological lymph nodes must have a reduction <10 mm; Partial Response (PR), ≥30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

    Measured: through study completion (up to 72 months)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Duration of Response

    The time from the start of CR or PR to the first date of documented PD or death.

    Measured: From Initial response until tumor progression, through study completion (up to 72 months)

  2. Progression-free Survival Rate at 6 Months

    The time from the first dose date to the first observation of a disease progression or death due to any cause by 6 mo. Disease progression was assessed radiologically per RECIST v1.1, and was defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, and absolute increase of ≥5 mm. PFS rate at 6 months was summarized using Kaplan-Meier methods (percentage rounded up to 1 digit decimal).

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Progression-free Survival (Median)

    The time from the first dose date to the first observation of a disease progression or death due to any cause.

    Measured: from start of treatment to first documented disease progression, through study completion (up to 72 months)

  4. Overall Survival

    Defined as teh time from first dose date to the date of death due to any cause

    Measured: From start of treatment to date of death (of any cause), through study completion (up to 72 months)

A Phase 2 study testing nab-Sirolimus in people with Malignant PEComa, run by Aadi Bioscience, Inc. at 9 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 22 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 7 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 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 7 Apr 2023). 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 Overall Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: through study completion (up to 72 months)). 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 NCT02494570, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 7 Apr 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
