About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Study to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy, and Novel PET/CT Imaging Biomarkers of CB-839 in Combination With Panitumumab and Irinotecan in Patients With Metastatic and Refractory RAS Wildtype Colorectal Cancer

This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 and how well it works with panitumumab and irinotecan hydrochloride (phase I only) in treating patients with RAS wildtype colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body and does not respond to treatment. Glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as panitumumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 with panitumumab and irinotecan hydrochloride may work better in treating patients with colorectal cancer.

Objectives:

Primary Objective of Phase I:

  • Determine the safety and tolerability of CB-839 in combination with panitumumab and irinotecan.

Exploratory Objective of Phase I (Optional Imaging Sub-study):

  • Correlate radiological features of pre- and post-treatment 11C-Glutamine PET/CT and 18F-FSPG PET/CT with clinical outcome.

Primary Objective of Phase II:

  • Determine the efficacy of CB-839 in combination with panitumumab as measured by the response rate (RR).

Secondary Objectives of Phase II:

  • Determine the disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).
  • Perform the following correlative studies (in the phase 2 component):
  • Correlate radiological features of pre- and post-treatment 18F-FSPG PET/CT with clinical outcome and biological correlates (tissue gene signature, exosomes).
  • Collect blood samples during each radiotracer injection to assess pharmacokinetics.
  • Collect pre-treatment biopsy tissue and prospectively correlate clinical outcome with a glutamine metabolism gene signature.
  • Quantify exosomal content in the plasma.

Exploratory Objective of Phase II:

  • Development of patient-derived organoids from pre-treatment tissue biopsy

OUTLINE: Phase I is a dose-escalation study of glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 in combination with standard doses of panitumumab and irinotecan hydrochloride. Phase II will study efficacy of glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 in combination with standard doses of panitumumab.

Patients receive glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28, panitumumab intravenously (IV) over 60-90 minutes on days 1 and 15, and irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 90 minutes on day 1 and 15 (Phase I only). Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 28 days and then every 3 months for up to 1 year.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (Phase I) of CB-839 in Combination With Panitumumab and Irinotecan Hydrochloride

    The maximum tolerated dose of CB-839 will be determined in Phase I with dose-escalation following Bayesian continual reassessment method. Patients were treated in cohort of 3. The CB839 dose leves were 400, 600 and 800mg.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  2. Response Rate (Phase II)

    The percent of patients with best response as complete response (CR) and partial response(PR) among patients with evaluable result. The response criteria: CR, Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm; PR, At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters, Progressive Disease (PD), At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression); Stable Disease(SD), Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  3. Recommended Phase 2 Dose of CB-839 in Combination With Panitumumab and Irinotecan Hydrochloride (Phase I)

    The recommended phase 2 dose will be determined.

    Measured: Up to 12 months.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Disease Control Rate

    The disease control rate will be evaluated. It is defined as the percent of patients with response as CR, PR, or SD among patients with evaluable result. The response criteria: CR, Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm; PR, At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters, Progressive Disease (PD), At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression); Stable Disease(SD), Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  2. Coefficient of Determination (R2) of Maximum Standardized Uptake Value (SUVmax) of Fluorine F 18 L-glutamate Derivative BAY94-9392 (18F-FSPG) Uptake Change With Tumor Size Change (Phase II)

    Evaluate the relationship between 18F-FSPG uptake change from baseline and change in tumor size at the time of objective response assessment using a standard linear regression analysis. The coefficient of determination (R2) describes the strength of the relationship between the change in 18F-FSPG and the change in tumor size. The squared root of R2 is the correation coefficient between the change in 18F-FSPG and the change in tumor size. R2 is reported.

    Measured: Up to 8 weeks

  3. Plasma Exosomal Content (Phase II)

    Plasma exosomal content will be assessed at pre-treatment, after one cycle of treatment, and at disease progression.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  4. Progression Free Survival (Phase II)

    It is defined as the time from on treatment to disease progression or death (whichever comes first). For those alive without progression, they were censored at last follow up date. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the median survival time with 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  5. Overall Survival

    It is defined as the days from on treatment date to death due to any cause. Those alive were censored at the last date of follow up. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the median survival time with 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Glutaminase Inhibitor CB-839, Panitumumab and Irinotecan Hydrochloride (phase I only) in people with Colorectal Cancer and Metastatic Colorectal Cancer, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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 15 inclusion and 16 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 30 Aug 2024. 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 United States. 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 30 Aug 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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (Phase I) of CB-839 in Combination With Panitumumab and Irinotecan Hydrochloride (time frame: Up to 12 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 30 Aug 2024.
