About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of TAK-228 (a Catalytic TORC1/2 Inhibitor) as Single Agent in Adult East Asian Patients With Advanced Nonhematological Malignancies

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and to characterize PK of TAK-228 administered once daily or once weekly to East Asian participants with advanced nonhematological malignancies.

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-228. TAK-228 is being tested to treat East Asian participants with advanced nonhematological malignancies for whom standard anticancer treatment is not available or is no longer effective. This study will assess the safety, tolerability, PK and will determine the RP2Ds of TAK-228.

The study will enroll approximately 46 participants, including at least 6 Japanese participants at RP2D dose level. Participants will be assigned to one of the following treatment arms:

  • TAK-228 Once Daily
  • TAK-228 Once Weekly

This multi-center trial will be conducted in South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. The overall time to participate in this study is up to 12 months, unless in the opinion of the investigator and sponsor the participant would derive benefit from continued therapy beyond 12 months. Participants will be followed for 30 days after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Measured: Baseline up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug (up to Cycle 12 Day 58) (Cycle length= 28 days)

  2. Number of Participants With Grade 3 or Higher TEAEs

    Adverse event (AE) Grades were evaluated as per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (NCI CTCAE), version 4.03. Grade 1 scaled as Mild; Grade 2 scaled as Moderate; Grade 3 scaled as severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4 scaled as life-threatening consequences; and Grade 5 scaled as death related to AE.

    Measured: Baseline up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug (up to Cycle 12 Day 58) (Cycle length= 28 days)

  3. Number of Participants With Serious TEAEs

    Measured: Baseline up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug (up to Cycle 12 Day 58) (Cycle length= 28 days)

  4. Dose Escalation Phase: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs) During Cycle 1

    Toxicity was evaluated according to NCI CTCAE version 4.03. DLT was defined as any of the following occurred events within the first 28 days of the administration of TAK-228 that were considered by investigator to be possibly related to therapy: Grade >=3 nonhematologic toxicity except for inadequately treated Grade 3 nausea and/or vomiting and diarrhea, Grade 3 hyperglycemia lasting <=14 days, Grade 3 rash lasting <=3 days; Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with hemorrhage or requiring platelet transfusion; Grade 3 anemia requiring blood transfusion; Grade 4 neutropenia lasting >7 days; Grade >=3 neutropenia of any duration with fever >=38.5 degree celsius and/or systemic infection; Any other >=Grade 4 hematologic toxicity; Inability to administer at least 75 percent (%) of planned doses of TAK-228 within Cycle 1 due to treatment-related toxicity and any clinically significant occurrence that the investigators and sponsor agreed would place participants at an undue safety risk.

    Measured: Baseline up to Day 28 in Cycle 1 (Cycle length= 28 days)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)

    The CBR was defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD). BOR was defined as the best response recorded after the first dose of study drug until subsequent therapy. As per Response Evaluation Criteria Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 guidelines, CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions and non-target lesions, and normalization of tumor marker level. PR was defined as >= 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, no progression in non-target lesion, and no new lesions. SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for disease progression (PD). PD was defined as at least a 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.

    Measured: Baseline Up to 1 Year 7 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TAK-228 in people with Advanced Nonhematological Neoplasms, run by Calithera Biosciences, Inc at 4 sites in 3 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 16 inclusion and 17 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 8 Feb 2023. 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 Japan, South Korea, Taiwan. 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 9 Sep 2020). 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 Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: Baseline up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug (up to Cycle 12 Day 58) (Cycle length= 28 days)). The study lists 16 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 NCT03370302, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Feb 2023.
