About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Phase 1, Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of TAK-931, a Cell Division Cycle 7 (CDC7) Inhibitor, in Adult Patients With Advanced Nonhematologic Tumors

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of TAK-931 in participants with advanced nonhematologic tumors.

Read the detailed description

The drug being under investigation in this study is called TAK-931. The effect of TAK-931 is being evaluated in up to 100 participants who have nonhematologic (solid) neoplasms. This study will look at the safety, tolerability, and PK to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of TAK-931.

This multi-center trial will be conducted in Japan. The overall study duration is approximately 42 months for total of dose escalation cohorts and the safety expansion cohort. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic with final visit approximately 30-40 days after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
TAK-931ExperimentalTAK-931 30 mg, capsules, orally, QD or BID on Days 1-14 of each 21-day treatment cycle in dosing schedule A followed by dosing schedule B, C, D, E and F. In dosing schedules B through F, starting doses and dosing escalations will vary depending on the dosing data obtained from dosing in the previous schedule. Dose escalation of TAK-931 will be based on evaluation of clinical safety and tolerability and guided by accumulating PK data. 3-4 dose cohorts are expected for each dosing schedule. If the PK from the early cohorts support BID dosing, then study drug administration in subsequent cohorts may transition to a BID dosing schedule.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) Assessed by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (NCI CTCAE) Version 4.03

  10. Schedule A, B and D: Change From Baseline in Phosphorylated Minichromosome Maintenance Complex-2 (pMCM2) (Ser40) Levels in Skin Based on Histological Score Nuclei (H-score) After Multiple Doses Of TAK-931

    H-score were a composite score that comprised of intensity and percentage of staining and were used for assessing amount of protein (in this case pMCM2 [Ser40]) present in a tissue sample. The composite score obtained by H-score is derived by adding of the percentages of cell staining at each intensity level multiplied by the weighted intensity of staining (0 [no staining], 1+ [weak staining], 2+ [medium staining], 3+ [strong staining]). The H-score has a range of 0 to 300. Lower H-scores represent lower expression of pMCM2 (Ser40) in the tissue sample, while higher scores represent stronger expression of pMCM2 (Ser40) in the tissue samples.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1 pre-dose up to any dosing day after 3 consecutive days post-dose (up to Cycle 1 Day 8 [Schedule A and D]; Cycle 1 Day 7 [Schedule B]; Cycle 1 Day 12 [Schedule D]) (Cycle Length of Schedules A and D = 21 days; and Schedule B= 28 days)

  11. Schedule A, B and D: Change From Baseline in pMCM2 (Ser40) Levels in Skin Based on Positive Index After Multiple Doses Of TAK-931

    Positive index was calculated by taking the number of cells staining positive for the marker over the total number of cells.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1 pre-dose up to any dosing day after 3 consecutive days post-dose (up to Cycle 1 Day 8 [Schedule A and D]; Cycle 1 Day 7 [Schedule B]; Cycle 1 Day 12 [Schedule D]) (Cycle Length of Schedules A and D = 21 days; and Schedule B= 28 days)

  12. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR was defined as percentage of participants who had achieved complete response (CR) and partial response (PR), as measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST V 1.1). CR: was disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) had to be reduced in short axis to less than (<) 10 millimeter (mm). PR: was at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in sum of diameter (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD.

    Measured: From date of first dose to the date of first documentation of progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, which ever occurred first (up to Month 45)

  13. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from the date of first dose to the date of first documentation of PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, as measured by RECIST V1.1. PD: 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. PFS was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: From date of first dose to the date of first documentation of PD or death due to any cause, which ever occurred first (up to Month 45)

  14. Duration of Response (DOR)

    The DOR was defined as the time from the date of first documentation of a response (CR or PR) to the date of first documentation of PD, as measured by RECIST V 1.1. CR: was disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) had to be reduced in short axis to <10 mm. PR: was at least a 30% decrease in SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD. PD: 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. DOR was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: From the date of first documentation of response to the date of first documentation of PD (up to Month 45)

A Phase 1 study testing TAK-931 in people with Nonhematologic Neoplasms, Advanced, run by Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 2 sites in Japan.

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 23 inclusion and 29 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 21 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Japan. 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 21 Feb 2021). 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?

Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) Assessed by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (NCI CTCAE) Version 4.03 (time frame: Baseline up to Cycle 1 (Cycle length= 21 days [Schedules A, D and E] and 28 days [Schedule B])). 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 NCT02699749, which also lists 2 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 21 Feb 2021.
