About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multi-center, Phase 1b Study to Investigate the Safety and Tolerability of SLC-0111 (WBI-5111) in Combination With Gemcitabine in Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Subjects Positive for Carbonic Anhydrase IX

This is a multi-center, open-label Phase 1b study of SLC-0111 (oral) in combination with IV gemcitabine in CA IX positive subjects with mPDAC and comprises of 2 parts:

  • Part 1: Dose Escalation
  • Part 2: Dose Expansion
Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, open-label Phase 1b study of SLC-0111 (oral) in combination with IV gemcitabine in CA IX positive subjects with mPDAC and comprises of 2 parts:

  • Part 1: Dose Escalation
  • Part 2: Dose Expansion

Biopsy or archival tissue will be collected and tested for the presence of CAIX via Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and only subjects positive for CAIX will be enrolled in the dose-escalation and dose-expansion parts. Part 2 can only begin after a dosing regimen has been characterized in Part 1. Subjects who participated in Part 1 of study will not be eligible to participate in Part 2.

The dose escalation will aim to identify the safety, tolerability and MTD of the oral formulation of SLC-0111 in combination with IV gemcitabine. Additional subjects may be enrolled at the MTD in dose expansion cohort. Data collected will allow evaluation of safety, tolerability, PK, Pharmacodynamics (PD) and tumour response of SLC-0111 in combination with gemcitabine.

A traditional 3 + 3 dose escalation design will be utilized for this study. Cohorts (same dose level) of 3 to 6 evaluable subjects will participate in a dose escalation scheme in which the dose of SLC-0111 will be increased in each consecutive cohort. Dose escalation to a new cohort of subjects will occur after review of available Cycle 1 data. The dose of SLC-0111 will be escalated based on Table 1 and Table 2 in the protocol. Based on emerging data alternative dosing schedules, or dose reductions may be considered. Gemcitabine will be administered at the standard dose (1000 mg/m^2) and schedule (day 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle) but dose reductions may be considered if necessary.

  • Each cohort will initially consist of up to 3 subjects.
  • If none of the first 3 subjects in a cohort demonstrates dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), then the cohort will be declared safe and the next cohort will be opened for enrollment
  • If 1 of the first 3 subjects in a cohort demonstrates DLTs, then 3 additional subjects will be accrued to that cohort for a total of 6 subjects
  • If 1 out of 6 subjects in a cohort demonstrates DLTs, then the cohort will be declared safe and the next cohort (n=3)will be opened for enrollment
  • If 2 or more subjects in a cohort demonstrates DLTs, that cohort will be declared to exceed the MTD

Following the identification of a Cohort that exceeds the MTD, the next lowest dose, or an intermediate dose level may be further explored.

The MTD will be defined as the highest dose level at which no more than 1 of 6 subjects demonstrates DLTs.

Intra-subject dose escalation will not be allowed in this study.

What is being measured

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

Model description
This is a traditional Phase I "3+3" study designed to identify the MTD by assessment of DLT of SLC-0111. Sample size estimates are not statistically based, but are based on acquisition of appropriate numbers of subjects to adequately describe the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of SLC-0111 in combination with gemcitabine. Up to 18 subjects are anticipated to be enrolled in the dose escalation part; however, the actual number recruited will be dependent upon the number of dose escalations. Dose expansion (Part 2) may enroll up to 12 subjects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing SLC-0111 and Gemcitabine Injection in people with Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, run by British Columbia Cancer Agency at 2 sites in Canada.

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 0 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 24 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Canada. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Changing treatment landscape: The availability of nab-paclitaxel with gemcitabine in the second-line setting has changed the feasibility of further recruitment and potential long-term development opportunities of SLC-0111 with gemcitabine alone.). 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?

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] (time frame: Up to Safety Follow-Up Visit (30 days +/- 7 days after permanently stopping study treatment)). 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 NCT03450018, which also lists 27 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 24 May 2024.
