About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b/ 2a Pilot Trial of the Oral Hedgehog Signalling Inhibitor Glasdegib in Patients With Sclerotic Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease Refractory to Second-Line Treatment

This is a phase 1b/2a, open label, multi-centre, safety and efficacy study of glasdegib in patients with sclerotic cGVHD refractory to second-line treatment. The design for the current study is a standard 3+3 dose-finding scheme. A dose escalation/de-escalation design will be applied in successive patient cohorts until identification of MTD. Glasdegib will be self-administered orally once daily in the morning as monotherapy in continuous 28-day treatment cycles for a maximum of 24 cycles. Those patients enrolled in the trial that obtain objective clinical benefit under treatment with glasdegib (defined as the achievement of at least a partial response at one or more target organs), will be allowed to proceed to a slow dose withdrawal phase over a period of 6 months after the end of Cycle 24.

Read the detailed description

Three patients will be initially treated at the corresponding dose level of glasdegib at each dose escalation stage. Dose escalation will be started in a first cohort of 3 patients at a starting dose of 50 mg (Dose Level 1) and will then proceed as follows:

  • If no dose-limiting toxicity is observed among the first 3 patients in a cohort, then 3 additional patients will be treated at the next higher dose level.
  • If a dose-limiting toxicity is observed in 1 of the initial 3 treated patients, 3 additional patients, resulting in a total of 6 patients, will be enrolled and treated at the same dose level.
  • If no further dose-limiting toxicity is observed (1/6 patients), dose escalation will continue to the next dose level in a new cohort of 3 patients.
  • If ≥ 2/3 or 2/6 patients experience a dose-limiting toxicity, then MTD has been exceeded and the next lower dose of glasdegib will be expanded until a total number of 6 patients treated at that dose level is reached. If 0 or 1 patient out of 6 experiences a dose-limiting toxicity, this dose level will be declared MTD. If ≥ 2/6 patients experience a dose-limiting toxicity, the next lower dose level will be expanded.
  • Prior safety data evaluation and approval by an independent data monitoring committee will be required before escalation at each dose level.

In case that MTD is exceeded within the first cohort, then a -1 Dose Level (25 mg OD) will be tested. If MTD is exceeded at 25 mg OD, the trial will be stopped and no additional testing of glasdegib at lower doses will be allowed.

Dose escalation will continue following the above-specified rules until MTD is declared. Once MTD is defined, dose expansion at MTD in cohorts of 3 patients will proceed until the pre-established sample size (20 patients) is reached. In the event that the highest pre-defined dose (200 mg OD) is tested in two successive cohorts of 3 patients and MTD is not attained, dose expansion at 200 mg OD will precede until a sample size of 20 patients is reached. The administered dose level may be subject to further adjustment (dose reduction only) in the dose expansion phase based on emerging safety, pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic data.

Additional dose levels may be explored, if appropriate, based on emerging safety, pharmacokinetic, or pharmacodynamic data, prior safety data evaluation and approval by an external monitoring committee.

Patients who are not evaluable for dose-limiting toxicity (e.g., those not receiving at least 80% of the planned dose of glasdegib in the dose-limiting toxicity monitoring period (first 2 cycles) for reasons other than study treatment-related toxicities) must be replaced.

If the pre-specified sample size is completed before MTD is defined or before the highest pre-defined dose (200 mg OD) is tested in at least 6 patients, additional patients may be recruited into the study (for a total sample size of up to 24 patients) until MTD is defined or two cohorts of 3 patients complete treatment at 200 mg OD.

Glasdegib may be dose reduced or discontinued during any cycle based on the patient's individual tolerability. During the dose-escalation phase, once a patient has a dose reduction for a study drug-related toxicity; the dose will not be re-escalated. Dose re-escalation up to the MTD will be allowed at the investigator's discretion during the dose expansion phase.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Glasdegib in people with Sclerodermoid Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease (Disorder), run by Grupo Espanol de trasplantes hematopoyeticos y terapia celular at 6 sites in Spain.

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 18 inclusion and 19 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Spain. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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. (time frame: Up to 48 weeks.). 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 NCT03415867, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 17 Mar 2022.
