About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b Window of Opportunity Study to Investigate Mechanisms of Actions of Novel Therapeutic Agents in Patients With Resectable Solid Tumor Malignancies

This is a single-institution, single arm, open label, window of opportunity clinical trial that will act as a Master Protocol with a primary objective to assess pharmacodynamic effects of the novel study drugs in subjects with resectable solid tumor malignancies.

Each Sub-protocol conducted under the Master Protocol will evaluate different novel therapeutic agent(s).

Estimated enrollment is 15 subjects per Sub-Protocol.

Read the detailed description

Patients will have a short-course (4-weeks) administration of a given compound in the timeframe between the diagnostic biopsy and the surgical resection. A pre-treatment tumor biopsy will be obtained, and blood samples will be collected before, during, and at the end of treatment.

Conditions
Solid Tumor
Being tested
Epacadostat

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EpacadostatDrug

    Drug is taken orally two times per day for 14 days, prior to surgical resection of tumor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacodynamic effects as measured by changes in biomarkers in pre- and post-dose tumor and blood specimens

    To establish baseline levels and measure pharmacodynamic biomarker changes in tumor and/or blood samples after treatment with the study drug.

    Sub- Protocol A will focus on changes in CD8+ T cells, CD4+Foxp3+ cells, NK cells, DCs and immune checkpoints.

    Measured: Approximately 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Safety and tolerability as measured by incidence of AEs (Adverse Events)

    To assess the safety and tolerability of the study drug in the pre-surgical setting graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 4.0.

    Measured: Approximately 1 year

  2. Pathological Response Rate as measured by correlation of biomarkers in tumor and/or blood specimens

    To evaluate pathological response rate of solid tumor malignancies in subjects receiving neo-adjuvant treatment with the study drug and to assess a possible correlation with biomarkers either in the tumor specimens either in the bloods samples and the pathological response.

    Measured: Approximately 1 year

  3. Overall Survival

    To determine the overall survival (OS) status of subject treated which the study drug at 6 months, 1 year and 2 year

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Epacadostat in people with Solid Tumor, run by Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 26 Aug 2021. 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 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Deprioritization of drug in this patient population). 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?

Pharmacodynamic effects as measured by changes in biomarkers in pre- and post-dose tumor and blood specimens (time frame: Approximately 1 year). 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 26 Aug 2021.
