About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Multicenter Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Ascending Doses of AZD1390 in Combination With Radiation Therapy in Patients With Glioblastoma Multiforme and Brain Metastases From Solid Tumors

This study will test an investigational drug called AZD1390 in combination with radiation therapy for the treatment of brain tumors. This is the first time AZD1390 is being given to patients. This study will test safety, tolerability and PK (how the drug is absorbed, distributed and eliminated) of ascending doses of AZD1390 in combination with distinct regimens of radiation therapy

Read the detailed description

This first time-in patients (FTIP), open-label, multicentre study of AZD1390 will be conducted in the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan. It consists of three treatment arms: Arm A, B, C. The Japan dose confirmation part (Japan part) is a sub-study of Arm A. Sites from Japan will only participate in the Japan part. This Phase 1 study will assess safety and tolerability of AZD1390 in combination with radiation therapy (RT) in brain malignancies. The combination cohorts have been designed to assess escalating cumulative doses of AZD1390 in settings with 3 different radiation treatment regimens:

  • Arm A: 35 Gy over 2 weeks with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in patients with recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). Arm A will also include the food effect cohort
  • Arms B: 30 Gy over two weeks with whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT)/ partial brain radiation therapy (PBRT) in patients with brain metastases. Arm B has now closed to recruitment
  • Arm C: 60 Gy over 6 weeks (IMRT) in patients with primary GBM Each arm provides standard of care RT for the disease setting indicated with the experimental agent being administered in dose escalating cohorts.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)

    DLTs will be used to calculate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). In each arm, the MTD of AZD1390 is the highest dose at which the predicted probability of a DLT is less than 25% in that specific RT setting

    Measured: From the start of treatment until the end of the DLT period (approximately 6 weeks for Arm A, 3 weeks for Arm B and 10 weeks for Arm C)

  2. Incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)

    For each adverse event CTCAE grade and causality (related to AZD1390 or radiotherapy) will be collected.

    Measured: From the start of treatment until the end of the study (approximately 9 months after the last patient has started treatment)

Secondary outcomes (9)

  1. Event free survival (EFS) for Arms A and C only

    Defined as the time from the first dose of AZD1390 until the occurrence of any of the following events:

    1. Tumor progression or recurrence based on RANO criteria
    2. Secondary malignancy
    3. Change in tumor treatment due to increase clinical symptoms
    4. Death due to any cause

    Measured: From the start of treatment until the patient is off study (approximately 9 months after the last patient has started treatment)

  2. Objective response rate defined by RANO criteria for Arms A and C only

    The proportion of patients achieving a complete or partial tumor response (CR or PR) according to RANO criteria.

    Measured: Every 8 weeks starting from 4 weeks after RT until the end of the study (approximately 9 months after the last patient has started treatment)

  3. Objective response rate defined by RANO-BM criteria for Arm B only. **Arm B has now closed to recruitment**

    The proportion of patients achieving a complete or partial tumor response (CR or PR) according to RANO-BM criteria.

    Measured: From screening until the patient is off study, approximately 8 weeks

  4. Objective response rate defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria for Arm B only. **Arm B has now closed to recruitment**

    The proportion of patients achieving a complete or partial tumor response (CR or PR) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.

    Measured: From screening until the patient is off study, approximately 8 weeks

  5. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of AZD1390

    Blood samples will be collected to assess plasma concentrations of AZD1390 at a series of timepoints to derive Cmax

    Measured: At predefined intervals throughout the AZD1390 treatment period (approximately 5 weeks for Arm A, 2 weeks for Arm B and 9 weeks for Arm C)

  6. Time to observed Cmax (Tmax) for AZD1390

    Blood samples will be collected to assess plasma concentrations of AZD1390 at a series of timepoints to derive Tmax

    Measured: At predefined intervals throughout the AZD1390 treatment period (approximately 5 weeks for Arm A, 2 weeks for Arm B and 9 weeks for Arm C)

  7. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) for AZD1390

    Blood samples will be collected to assess plasma concentrations of AZD1390 at a series of timepoints to derive AUC

    Measured: At predefined intervals throughout the AZD1390 treatment period (approximately 5 weeks for Arm A, 2 weeks for Arm B and 9 weeks for Arm C)

  8. Overall survival for Arms A and C only

    Defined as the time from the first dose of AZD1390 until death from any cause

    Measured: From start of treatment until the patient dies, withdraws or the end of study is reached (approximately 9 months after the last patient has started treatment)

  9. Assessment of the food effect of AZD1390 at the MTD for Arm A (if conducted)

    Blood samples will be collected to assess plasma concentrations of AZD1390 at a series of timepoints under fed and fasted conditions to derive Cmax, Tmax, and AUC

    Measured: At two predefined intervals during cycle 0 (at least 5 days apart)

Model description
AZD1390 will be administered to patients in three different Arms (A, B and C), with each arm receiving standard of care radiation therapy (RT) for their disease setting. In arms A and C, AZD1390 will be administered in three cycles: Cycle 0 (before RT), Cycle 1 (during RT) and Cycle 2 (after RT). In arm B, AZD1390 will be administered in cycle 1 only (during RT). Within each arm, AZD1390 will be administered in dose escalating cohorts, first in an intermittent and then in a consecutive fashion, to achieve daily administration prior to RT. \*\*Arm B has now closed to recruitment\*\* For Arm A, there is an optional food effect assessment during cycle 0. \*Note: the food effect assessment is currently open to recruitment\*
