About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2a Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Adding AL3818 (Catequentinib) to Nivolumab in Solid Tumors

This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of AL3818 (anlotinib) hydrochloride in combination with Opdivo (nivilumab) for the treatment patients with of metastatic, advanced, or recurrent solid tumors. All participants will receive open-label AL3818 with nivolumab. Part 1 consists of a dose finding phase to determine the recommended phase 2 dosage of AL3818 with nivolumab. Part 2 consists of a dose expansion phase, evaluating the safety and efficacy of the combination in patients cohorts including metastatic, advanced, or recurrent soft tissue sarcomas, non-small cell lung cancer, and small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

This phase 1b/2 study evaluates the safety and efficacy of AL3818 (anlotinib) hydrochloride in combination with Opdivo (nivilumab) for the treatment patients with of metastatic, advanced, or recurrent solid tumors including soft tissue sarcomas (STS), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). All participants will receive open-label AL3818 with nivolumab on a scheduled basis.

Part 1 (phase 1b) consists of a dose finding phase to determine the safety, tolerability (including recommended phase 2 dosage (RP2D), and PK profile of AL3818 given with nivolumab. Participants will receive oral AL3818 once daily on Days 1-14 and nivolumab injection on Day 1 and 15 of one 21-day cycle.

Part 2 (phase 2a) consists of a dose expansion phase, to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of combination treatment using AL3818 at the RP2D determined from Part 1 together with nivolumab injection at standard dosing for patients with metastatic, advanced, or recurrent STS, NSCLC, or SCLC in 21-day cycles. Oral AL3818 will be given on Days 1-14 days and nivolumab will be given every 2 weeks, for up to 24 cycles of total AL3818 therapy.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
AL3818 plus nivolumabExperimentalPart 1: All participants will be assigned to receive AL3818 capsules orally, once daily at sequential deescalating doses (on treatment Days 1-14 followed by no AL3818 treatment from Days 15-21) in combination with nivolumab injection treatment (on Day 1 and Day 15) for a single 21-day cycle.

What is being measured

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

  1. Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) - Part 1 (Phase 1b)

    Determine the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) via evaluation of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) events.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (21-days)

  2. Objective Response Rates (ORR) - Part 2 (Phase 2a)

    Evaluated by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, v1.1) criteria after three complete 21-day cycles 9 weeks after starting study treatment (C4D1) and then every 12 weeks thereafter for up to C24 cycles. ORR is measured by the number of complete (CR) and partial responses (PR)

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Duration of Response (DOR) - Part 2 (Phase 2a)

    Evaluated by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, v1.1) criteria after three complete 21-day cycles 9 weeks after starting study treatment (C4D1) and then every 12 weeks thereafter for up to C24 cycles. DOR is measured as the median number of months from date of first documented objective response until first documented sign of disease progression or death due to any causes.

    Measured: 30 months

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS) - Part 2 (Phase 2a)

    Evaluated by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, v1.1) criteria after three complete 21-day cycles 9 weeks after starting study treatment (C4D1) and then every 12 weeks thereafter for up to C24 cycles. PFS is measured as the median number of months from the date of C1D1 until the first documented sign of disease progression or death due to any causes.

    Measured: 30 months

  3. Overall Survival (PFS) - Part 2 (Phase 2a)

    Evaluated by survival status beginning Cycle 1 Day 1 until last follow up on study. OS is measured as the median number of months from the date of C1D1 until death from any causes.

    Measured: 30 months

  4. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) - Part 2 (Phase 2a)

    Evaluated by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, v1.1) criteria after three complete 21-day cycles 9 weeks after starting study treatment (C4D1) and then every 12 weeks thereafter for up to C24 cycles. CBR is measured by the number of CR, PR, and stable diseases (SD).

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing AL3818 and Nivolumab Injection in people with Solid Tumor, Adult and Soft Tissue Sarcoma, run by Sarcoma Oncology Research Center, LLC 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 15 inclusion and 25 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 2025. 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 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) - Part 1 (Phase 1b) (time frame: Cycle 1 (21-days)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Feb 2025.
