About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II, Open-label, Multi-center Study of the Safety and Efficacy of BLZ945 as Single Agent and in Combination With PDR001 in Adults Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

The purpose of this first-in-human (FIH) study of BLZ945 given as a single agent or in combination with PDR001 was to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and anti-tumor activity of BLZ945, administered orally, as a single agent or in combination with PDR001, administered intravenously (i.v.) in adult patients with advanced solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

This study was a first in human, open-label, multi-center phase I/II study which consisted of a phase I dose escalation part of BLZ945 as single agent, and of BLZ945 in combination with PDR001, where alternative dosing regimens of BLZ945 were evaluated. The escalation was guided by a Bayesian logistic regression model with overdose control. Once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) / recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for BLZ945 as single agent was established, a phase II part could commence, should signs of antitumor activity had been seen during the phase I. Once the MTD/RP2D for BLZ945 in combination with PDR001 was established, a phase II part could commence.

Phase I part of the study involved patients with advanced solid tumors, including patients with recurrent glioblastoma and patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma, and phase II part patients with relapsed or refractory glioblastoma.

A separate Japanese single agent dose escalation was performed in order to ensure that the safety and pharmacokinetic profiles of BLZ945 single agent were adequately characterized in Japanese patients. The Japanese dose escalation for BLZ945 single agent run separately from the ongoing global dose escalation. No Japanese patients were enrolled in phase II part according to protocol. The enrollment of the Japanese cohort was halted per investigator letter, dated 18-Jun-2021.

  38. Phase I and II: Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of PDR001

    Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were calculated based on PDR001 serum concentrations by using non-compartmental methods. Cmax is defined as the maximum (peak) observed serum concentration following a dose.

    Measured: pre-infusion and 1, 24, 168, 336 and 672 hours after completion of the infusion on Cycle 1 Day 1 and Cycle 3 Day 1. The average duration of the infusion was 30 minutes. The duration of one cycle was 28 days

  39. Phase I and II: Time to Reach Maximum Serum Concentration (Tmax) of PDR001

    Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were calculated based on PDR001 serum concentrations by using non-compartmental methods. Tmax is defined as the time to reach maximum (peak) serum concentration following a dose. Actual recorded sampling times were considered for the calculations.

    Measured: pre-infusion and 1, 24, 168, 336 and 672 hours after completion of the infusion on Cycle 1 Day 1 and Cycle 3 Day 1. The average duration of the infusion was 30 minutes. The duration of one cycle was 28 days

  40. Phase I and II: Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to 28 Days Post Dose (AUC0-28day) of PDR001

    PK parameters were calculated based on PDR001 serum concentrations by using non-compartmental methods. The linear trapezoidal method was used for AUC0-28day calculation.

    Measured: pre-infusion and 1, 24, 168, 336 and 672 hours after completion of the infusion on Cycle 1 Day 1 and Cycle 3 Day 1. The average duration of the infusion was 30 minutes. The duration of one cycle was 28 days

  41. Phase I and II: Number of Participants With Anti-PDR001 Antibodies

    Immunogenicity was evaluated in serum in a validated three-tiered assay approach. Samples were screened for potential anti-PDR001 antibodies and positive screen results were confirmed using a confirmatory assay. For confirmed anti-drug antibodies (ADA) positive samples, titers were determined. Patient ADA status was defined as follows:

    • ADA-negative at baseline: ADA-negative sample at baseline
    • ADA-positive at baseline: ADA-positive sample at baseline
    • ADA-negative post-baseline: patient with ADA-negative sample at baseline and at least 1 post baseline determinant sample, all of which are ADA-negative samples
    • Treatment-induced ADA-positive = ADA-negative sample at baseline and at least 1 treatment-induced ADA-positive sample
    • Treatment-boosted ADA-positive = ADA-positive sample at baseline and at least 1 treatment-boosted ADA-positive sample

    Measured: Baseline (before first dose) and post-baseline (assessed throughout the treatment and safety follow-up, up to 4.4 years in phase I and 0.9 years in phase II).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing BLZ945 and PDR001 in people with Advanced Solid Tumors, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 14 sites in 8 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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in United States, Spain, Japan, Israel, Italy and 3 more countries. 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 combined 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.

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 18 Jan 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 I: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) During the On-treatment Period (time frame: From first dose of study medication up to 30 days after last dose, with a maximum duration of 3.1 years for BLZ945 single agent and 4.1 years for BLZ945 in combination with PDR001). The study lists 8 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 18 Jan 2024.
