About this study

Official title: A Phase I Adaptive Design Trial of Talazoparib in Combination With Gemcitabine and Cisplatin in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

In this proposed study the investigators will combine gemcitabine and cisplatin with talazoparib to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of this combination regimen. After determination of the RP2D patients with lung cancer whose tumors carry molecular alterations in DNA repair pathway genes will be enrolled to an expansion cohort to determine anti-tumor efficacy. Tissue samples of patients with confirmed partial response, complete response, and non-responders will be obtained for whole exome, and transcriptome sequencing to characterize the genetic alterations associated with response to therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and toxicities as measured by NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0

    Measured: 30 days after completion of treatment (estimated average to be 7 months)

  2. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD)

    The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the dose level immediately below the dose level at which 30% of patients in a cohort are expected to experience a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during the second cycle based on the CRM algorithm. Dose escalations will proceed until the MTD is determined.

    Measured: Completion of dose escalation portion of study (approximately 12 months)

  3. Objective response rate (ORR) in preselected patients with BRCAness tumoral genotype

    ORR - proportion of patients who achieved a complete response or a partial response

    Measured: Up to completion of treatment (estimated average of 6 months)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Disease control rate (DCR)

    • DCR - percentage of participants who have achieved complete response, partial response, and stable disease
    • Complete response: disappearance of all lesions and normalization of tumor marker level
    • Partial response: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions and no new lesions
    • Stable disease: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease

    Measured: Until death (estimated average to be 12 months)

  2. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first.

    -Progressive disease - At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study, appearance of one more new lesions PFS is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: Until death (estimated average to be 12 months)

  3. Objective response rate (ORR)

    ORR - proportion of patients who achieved a complete response or a partial response

    Measured: Up to completion of treatment (estimated average of 6 months)

  4. Overall survival (OS)

    OS: duration of time from start of treatment to time of death from any cause

    Measured: Until death (estimated average to be 12 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cisplatin, Gemcitabine and Talazoparib in people with Solid Tumors and Carcinoma, Non-Small Cell Lung, run by Washington University School of Medicine.

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 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Safety and toxicities as measured by NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0 (time frame: 30 days after completion of treatment (estimated average to be 7 months)). 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 11 Feb 2016.
