About this study

Official title: Phase Ia/Ib and Potential Phase IIa Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of NOX66 Both as a Monotherapy and in Combination With Carboplatin in Patients With Refractory Solid Tumours

The study evaluates the safety and activity of NOX66 in patients with refractory solid tumors that are non responsive to standard therapies.

This is a two part with a potential third part, open-label, multicenter, dose escalation study of NOX66 as monotherapy and in combination with carboplatin.

Read the detailed description

Idronoxil is a synthetic small molecule that pre-clinical studies have identified as a strong candidate for development as a chemo-sensitising drug.

Human studies using idronoxil administered in oral and intravenous dosage forms have shown that the drug is highly susceptible to Phase 2 metabolism, resulting in loss of bio-activity.

NOX66 is idronoxil in a new dosage formulation developed specifically to protect the drug from Phase 2 metabolism and thereby ensure retention of the majority of administered drug in a bio-active form.

The main purpose of the current study is to confirm the safety of the new dosage formula both as a monotherapy and in combination with carboplatin, given that it is anticipated that the drug will be present in the body in a bio-active form at considerably higher levels than previously achieved.

A secondary objective is to observe if NOX66 is able to restore response to carboplatin in tumours considered unresponsive to this chemotherapy, and moreover to provide a meaningful clinical benefit in combination with a lower-than-normal dosage of carboplatin.

Patients will be drawn from 5 cancer types: prostate cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, head and neck cancer.

The study will commence with a Phase 1a (Run-in) arm comparing the relative tolerability and safety of two different dosages of idronoxil/NOX66 as a 14-day monotherapy course.

Providing there is no dose limiting toxicity (DLT), patients then progress onto the Phase 1b (Combination) arm of the study, remaining on the same dosage. In this arm, patients receive 6 treatment cycles, each of 28 days comprising NOX66 (idronoxil) treatment on Days 1-7 and carboplatin on Day 2 of each treatment cycle.

Any meaningful clinical responses occurring in the Phase 1b (Combination) Arm will trigger a Phase IIa (Combination) Arm where an additional 10 patients will be recruited into a maximum of 2 cohorts of the same tumour type (prostate, lung, breast, ovarian, or head and neck). These patients will receive the same combination dosage providing the observed clinical responses and treated with that dosage for a maximum of 6 treatment cycles.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Who Experience Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) During NOX66 Monotherapy and During NOX66 Combination With Carboplatin

    Dose limiting toxicity during monotherapy and combination therapy defined as any Grade 3 or more toxicity (by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [NCI CTCAE version 4.03]) (related to therapy) excluding Grade 3 or more neutropenia lasting greater than 5 days or thrombocytopenia associate with bleeding or Grade 4 thrombocytopenia.

    Measured: Up to 1 month for NOX66 monotherapy from enrollment and up to 7 months from start of NOX66 combination therapy

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (SAEs) Related to NOX66.

    An AE was defined as any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. Treatment-related are events which had causal relationship to study drug as assessed by the Investigator and were suspected to be reasonably related to the study drug.

    Measured: From enrollment through 30 days after the last cycle of therapy (8 months)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) at Cycle 3 and at Cycle 6 of Combination Therapy

    Objective response rate defined as the percentage of participants achieving a complete response (CR) and or partial response (PR) after treatment with NOX66 and carboplatin therapy as assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1.

    CR defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and reduction of any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) to <10 mm in short axis; PR was defined by a 30% or more decrease in sum of longest diameter (SLD) of target lesions in reference to baseline. PR or better overall response assumes at a minimum incomplete response/stable disease (SD) for the evaluation of non-target lesions and no new lesions.

    Measured: Radiological evaluation at baseline and at 3 months and at 6 months

  2. Overall Clinical Response Rate at Cycle 3 and at Cycle 6 of Combination Therapy

    Overall Clinical response rate defined as the percentage of participants who achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) as assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria v1.1 after combination of NOX66 and carboplatin therapy.

    CR defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and reduction of any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) to <10 mm in short axis; PR was defined by a 30% or more decrease in sum of longest diameter (SLD) of target lesions in reference to baseline. Stable disease (SD)=Neither sufficient increase to qualify for PD nor sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR. PD was defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the SLD, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.

    Measured: Radiological evaluation at baseline and at 3 months and at 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing NOX66 and Carboplatin in people with Cancer, run by Noxopharm Limited at 4 sites in Georgia.

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 16 inclusion and 11 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 2 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Georgia. 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 2 Jun 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 Who Experience Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) During NOX66 Monotherapy and During NOX66 Combination With Carboplatin (time frame: Up to 1 month for NOX66 monotherapy from enrollment and up to 7 months from start of NOX66 combination therapy). 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?
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 2 Jun 2021.
