About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Phase Ia/Ib Dose Finding Study With BI 894999 Orally Administered Once a Day in Patients With Advanced Malignancies, With Repeated Administration in Patients With Clinical Benefit

This study is open to adults with different types of advanced cancer (solid tumours). The study is also open to patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in whom previous treatment was not successful. In some countries, adolescents who are at least 15 years old and who are diagnosed with NUT carcinoma can also participate. No standard treatment exists for this rare and aggressive form of cancer.

The purpose of this study is to find out the highest dose of BI 894999 that people can tolerate.

BI 894999 is tested for the first time in humans. Participants take tablets once daily. The study also tests whether participants can tolerate BI 894999 better when taken continuously or with breaks in between.

Participants can stay in the study as long as they benefit from the treatment and can tolerate it.

The doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.

  6. Phase Ia and Phase Ib: Objective Response (OR)

    OR was defined as best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) with tumour assessment during treatment period for each schedule.

    For DLBCL patients, a minor response according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Lymphoma 2017 (RECIL 2017) was not part of an objective response.

    BOR was determined from first treatment administration until the earliest of disease progression, death or last evaluable tumour assessment before start of subsequent anticancer therapy, loss to follow-up or withdrawal of consent, according to the following criteria depending on the type of cancer:

    • solid tumour patients and mCRPC patients with measurable disease: CT and/ or MRI according to RECIST v1.1, every 2 cycles;
    • mCRPC patients without measurable disease: bone scan and PSA level according to Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3, every 4 cycles;
    • DLBCL patients:FDG-PET/CT scans according to RECIL 2017; every 2 cycles.

    Measured: Up to 15 months for Phase 1a and up to 28 months for Phase Ib.

  7. Phase Ib: Progression-free Survival or (PFS) or Radiological PFS for mCRPC Patients With Non-measurable Disease by RECIST v1.1

    Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from date of start of BI 894999 to the date of objective disease progression ((PD) defined as 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions) or death, whichever is earlier for SCLC patients, CRC patients, mCRPC patients with measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) and NC patients, with tumour assessment every 2 cycles according to RECIST v1.1 during treatment period or Radiological PFS with tumour assessment by bone scan every 4 cycles for mCRPC patients with non-measurable disease by RECIST v1.1.

    For patients with 'event' as an outcome for PFS:

    • PFS [days] = date of outcome - date of first treatment administration + 1.

    For patients with 'censored' as an outcome for PFS:

    • PFS (censored) [days] = date of outcome - date of first treatment administration + 1.

    The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the estimates.

    Measured: Up to 28 months.

  8. Phase Ib: Best Overall Response

    Best overall response (BOR) was determined from first treatment administration until the earliest of disease progression, death or last evaluable tumour assessment before start of subsequent anticancer therapy, loss to follow-up or withdrawal of consent, according to the following criteria depending on the type of cancer:

    • solid tumour patients and mCRPC patients with measurable disease: Computerized tomography (CT) and/ or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) according to RECIST v1.1, every 2 cycles;
    • mCRPC patients without measurable disease: bone scan and PSA level according to Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3, every 4 cycles.

    Measured: Imaging and assessment performed every 2 cycles (solid tumours patients) or 4 cycles (mCRPC patients) for the entire treatment period, up to 28 months.

  9. Phase Ib: Overall Survival

    Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from first administration of BI 894999 until death from any cause in patients with NUT carcinoma.

    For patients with 'event' as an outcome for OS:

    • OS [days] = date of outcome - date of first treatment administration + 1.

    For patients with 'censored' as an outcome for OS:

    • OS (censored) [days] = date of outcome - date of first treatment administration + 1.

    The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the estimates.

    Measured: Up to 28 months.

  10. Phase Ib: Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Response in Patients With Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)

    PSA response was defined as a decline in PSA value ≥50% from baseline (which is confirmed by a second value 3 to 4 weeks apart).

    Measured: Up to 93 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BI 894999 in people with Neoplasms and NUT Carcinoma, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 16 sites in 6 countries.

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 47 inclusion and 31 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 15 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in United States, Belgium, France, Spain, Germany and 1 more country. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Apr 2024). 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?

Phase Ia: Number of Patients With DLTs Observed in the First Cycle (time frame: First treatment cycle (the first 21 days for Schedules A and B, the first 28 days for Schedule C).). The study lists 2 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 NCT02516553, 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 15 Apr 2024.
