About this study

Official title: Open-label, Single Arm, Two-stage Study, Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Bimiralisib in Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas (HNSCC) Harboring NOTCH1 Loss of Function (LOF) Mutations

Preclinical data and limited clinical evidence suggest that Head and Neck Squameous Cell Carcinoma tumors harboring certain mutations may respond well to PI3K/mTOR inhibition (phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/ mammalian target of rapamycin inhibition).

The current study enrolls patients with refractory and / or metastatic Head and Neck Squameous Cell Carcinoma based on the mutational status of their disease to assess the response to treatment with bimiralisib, an orally available pan-PI3K/mTOR inhibitor (phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/ mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor).

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Radiological tumor assessments were performed by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) according to a standard protocol.

    ORR: comprised of all patients who achieved a confirmed partial or a confirmed complete response per RECIST 1.1

    Measured: At 6 and 12 weeks after the start of therapy (± 3 days)

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bimiralisib in people with HNSCC, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 6 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 14 Jul 2023. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Jan 2022). 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?

Objective Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: At 6 and 12 weeks after the start of therapy (± 3 days)). 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 NCT03740100, 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 14 Jul 2023.
