About this study

Official title: MITIGATE-NeoBOMB1: A Phase I/IIa Study to Evaluate Safety, Biodistribution, Dosimetry+Preliminary Diagnostic Performance of 68Ga-NeoBOMB1 in Pat. With Advanced TKI-treated GIST Using Positron-emission Tomography/Computer Tomography (PET/CT)

Tyrosine-kinase Inhibitors (TKI) resistance in gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) is a common problem after prolonged treatment periods. The main objectives of this monocentric diagnostic Phase I/IIa study are safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics and dosimetry of 68Ga-NeoBomb1 in GIST patients. The rationale behind this study is to improve diagnostic accuracy in GIST via positron-emission tomography/computer tomography (PET-CT) with a focus on TKI-resistant subtypes. Better detection, classification and definition of lesion extent are expected from the use of 68Ga-NeoBOMB1.

Read the detailed description

Rationale of the design:

This is a monocentric diagnostic Phase I/IIa study. Due to the very limited number of patients and the rare nature of the disease the study was designed as a combination of phases I and IIa.

The main objectives of such an early phase clinical trial are safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics and (in the case of radiopharmaceuticals) dosimetry aspects. For the first 6 patients, the focus of the study will be on safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics. Therefore, both TKI-resistant and TKI-sensitive GIST patients will be included. As resistant patients are typically in 2nd- or 3rd-line TKI treatment prone to substantial side effects and potentially suffer from a greater extent of disease, the study design includes a limited number of non-resistant GIST patients to address a possible bias regarding tolerability and side effects profile of 68Ga-NeoBOMB1.

After 6 included patients an interim analysis of safety and pharmacokinetic data including PBPK modelling and dosimetry calculation will be performed. Thereby it will be decided, whether the data generation is sufficient for a final calculation of dosimetry, if so pharmacological and dosimetric aspects can be omitted in the last 6 patients, reducing the burden for these patients considerably (less number of scans, no blood and urine sampling). This analysis will also reveal the optimal time window for PET/CT imaging.

After the establishment of these baseline findings, the second part of the study will emphasize the assessment of imaging data towards targeting properties of the GRP(gastrin releasing peptide)-receptor-specific radiopharmaceutical 68Ga-NeoBOMB1 as proof of the molecular imaging principle. In this phase only patients with confirmed GRPR receptor expression via Immunohistochemistry will be included. Nonetheless, safety and tolerability still remain a primary objectives in this part of the study.

As there are no preclinical indications that the GRP receptor status of TKI resistance is variable, all objectives should be met including targeting properties of 68Ga-NeoBOMB1 also in non-resistant patients. Nonetheless, changes in GRP-receptor expression under treatment pressure may still exist. Therefore in both phases a minimum of 50% of the patients have to show resistance to TKI treatment, where therapeutic option are extremely limited. This will allow providing data in patients that will most likely benefit most from an improved target characterisation and GRPR targeting therapy approaches.

Study conduct:

Within 28 days after the patient's positive evaluation and written informed consent, the imaging study will be performed. During the study, patients will be shortly hospitalised. These pre-planned hospitalisations for study purposes will not be considered as (serious) adverse events. The radiopharmaceutical will be administered to the patient directly at the imaging system (PET-CT).

In the first phase of the trial including the first six patients a series of dynamic scans between 0 and 45 min and static whole-body PET images at 1, 2 and 3-4h will be obtained to determine pharmacokinetics and absorbed doses to normal organs and to tumorous lesions. Blood samples drawn concomitantly at the time of imaging will be collected to estimate residence times in blood and to derive the bone marrow absorbed dose (max. 10 samples during the hospitalisation). Urine will be collected to determine the bladder wall and kidney absorbed doses. Regions of interest for critical organs and tumour lesions will be drawn using the acquired images resulting in time-activity curves with quantitative fractions of administered activity. Residence times of radioactivity from this analysis will be calculated. All dosimetric calculations will be performed by feeding the residence times as well as blood and urine activities into an appropriate software program (OLINDA/EXAM).

The second phase is in principle conducted in the same way, if interim analysis returns sufficient data for dosimetry and pharmacokinetics, PET images will be reduced to 2 whole body scans within the optimal time window and blood and urine sampling can be omitted.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and tolerability: Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.03

    Patients will undergo physical examinations, ECG, blood pressure measurements as well as analysis of blood biochemistry (haemoglobin, haematocrit, RBC count, WBC count, absolute neutrophil count, differential WBC count (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, monocytes [%]), platelets), haematology (glucose, urea, creatinine, eGFR (calculated), bilirubin, Na, K, Cl, Ca, GOT [ASAT], GPT [ALAT], γGT, pancreas lipase and amylase, ALP, LDH, CK, CRP, serum albumin), coagulation parameters (Quick, INR, aPTT, fibrinogen) and semi-quantitative urine analysis (leukocytes, nitrite, erythrocytes, pH, protein). These measurements and assessments will be repeated during and after the application of 68Ga-NeoBOMB1. Prior to the study inclusion, prior to application of 68Ga-NeoBOMB1 and during the second follow-up a potential pregnancy will be assessed. The presence and severity of adverse events will be judged and reported according to CTCAE v4.03.

    Measured: day 12-20 after administration

  2. Organ and compartment dosimetry data, human pharmacokinetics of 68Ga-NeoBOMB1 and identification of potentially dose-limiting organs

    Pharmacokinetic data will be acquired by measuring 68Ga-NeoBOMB1 distribution over time through successive dynamic/semi-dynamic/static PET scans. Time activity curves will be generated to determine relative distribution among and doses for all relevant organs and compartments [% of injected radioactivity in MBq] through a physiology-based pharmacokinetic modelling approach (OLINDA/EXAM).

    To gather more information, successive blood and urine sampling will also be used to provide blood activity and excretion information and estimate bloodpool/bone marrow doses.

    Measured: 3-4 hours after administration

  3. Preliminary targeting properties of 68Ga-NeoBOMB1 in advanced, GRP positive GIST tumours as assessed by SUV

    GIST lesion tracer accumulation will be assessed visually and measured as relative signal intensity (compared to blood pool activity, SUV) for known lesions.

    Measured: 3-4 hours after administration

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Targeting properties in comparison with standard imaging modalities such as FDG-PET or MRI as assessed by sensitivity and specificity

    The lesion demarcation from 68Ga-NeoBOMB1-PET will be compared to contrast-enhanced computed tomography and FDG-PET (if available).

    Measured: 3-4 hours after administration

  2. Qualitative comparison of targeting properties of 68Ga-NeoBOMB1 in resistant vs non-resistant tumour lesions in patients undergoing TKI Treatment as assessed by presence of tracer uptake and SUV

    Relative lesion growth tendency (as calculated from comparing current and previous CT scans) will be correlated to their respective tracer uptake (SUV).

    Measured: 3-4 hours after administration

  3. Identification of target tissue and improved target volume definition for potential locoregional treatment (RFA or external beam)

    A comparison will be made whether 68Ga-NeoBOMB1-PET could offer additional information for a potential local therapy such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or external beam radiation as determined by definition of lesion amount and extent.

    Therapeutic interventions will not be part of the current study

    Measured: 3-4 hours after administration

  4. To extrapolate absorbed tumour doses for potential application of 177Lu NeoBOMB1 (in first 6 patients)

    Estimation of tumour and organ/compartment doses will be performed by means of a physiology-based pharmacokinetic modelling to assess the potential feasibility of a therapeutic approach of 177Lu-NeoBOMB1

    Measured: 3-4 hours after administration

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 20 inclusion and 14 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 19 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Austria. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 tolerability: Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.03 (time frame: day 12-20 after administration). 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 19 Jul 2019.
