About this study

Official title: Open-Label, Intra Subject, Dose Escalation (Part 1) Followed by Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled (Part 2) Trial of Topical VT30 in Pts With Venous, Lymphatic or Mixed Malformations Associated With PIK3CA or TEK Genetic Mutations

VT30-101 is a 2-part first-in-human trial of topically administered VT30 to subjects with cutaneous venous malformations, lymphatic malformations, or mixed venolymphatic malformations associated with PIK3CA or TEK mutations.

Part 1 is a 4-week treatment, open-label, 4-sequence, escalating repeat-application cohort study, with intra-subject and inter-cohort dose escalation.

Read more

Part 2 is a 12-week treatment, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, safety and exploratory efficacy study. Part 2 will be initiated only after the successful completion of Part 1 with results that demonstrate the general safety and tolerability of topically applied VT30. Up to 12 subjects who complete Part 1 may be enrolled into Part 2 of the study.

The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of VT30. The study will also determine the dose and regimen of VT30 to be carried into Part 2 of the protocol. Other aims include documenting plasma drug levels of VT30 and VT10 and, on an exploratory basis, examining pharmacologic target engagement and change in potential efficacy readouts.

Read the detailed description

VT30-101 is designed as a Phase 1/2, first-in-human study of topically administered VT30 to subjects with cutaneous venous malformations (VMs), lymphatic malformations (LMs), or mixed venolymphatic malformations (VLMs) associated with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic alpha polypeptide (PIK3CA) or tyrosine receptor kinase (TEK) mutations. Capillary involvement and/or extension of the lesion into subcutaneous tissues is permitted.

The study will occur in 2 parts, and in both study parts, subjects will participate in a Screening Period (up to 6 weeks) before beginning the indicated Treatment Period.

Part 1 will be an open-label, 4-sequence, escalating repeat-application study comprised of up to 4 cohorts (3 subjects per cohort, with 3 up to 6 in Cohort 4, or the final Part 1 cohort). In each cohort, subjects will be given topical VT30 for a 4-week Treatment Period. Subjects will begin treatment with the designated dose on Day 1. After 2 weeks, the Investigator will examine the treated surface area and determine if the formulation is tolerated such that the subject may apply the next dose strength of VT30 gel for the remaining duration of the Treatment Period.

Specifically, the following gel dose strengths (concentrations) are planned for Cohorts 1 through 3 in Part 1:

  • Cohort 1: initiate dosing with 0.12% (w/w) gel and progress to 0.6% (w/w) gel for the final 2 weeks of the Part 1 Treatment Period (if the lower dose is tolerated)
  • Cohort 2: initiate dosing with 0.6% (w/w) gel and progress to 1.2% (w/w) gel for the final 2 weeks of the Part 1 Treatment Period (if the lower dose is tolerated)
  • Cohort 3: initiate dosing with 1.2% (w/w) gel and progress to 2.3% (w/w) gel for the final 2 weeks of the Part 1 Treatment Period (if the lower dose is tolerated)

A Safety Review Committee (SRC), with sponsor, investigator and independent medical representation, will provide oversight and guidance for study conduct. After 3 subjects have been dosed for at least 21 days in any of the first three Part 1 cohorts, the SRC may request additional data, approve initiation of the subsequent cohort, or mandate that additional subjects to be enrolled at either the higher or lower dose within the cohort.

After 9 subjects in Cohorts 1 through 3 (3 subjects per cohort) have completed the 4-week Treatment Period, the SRC will determine if additional subjects should be assigned to Cohort 4 (or the final Part 1 cohort) to receive the MTD (maximum tolerated dose) or MFD (maximum feasible dose) strength of VT30. Subjects in Cohort 4 will receive the designated dose strength and regimen of VT30 for a full 4 weeks.

Following the completion of Cohort 4 in Part 1, the SRC will determine whether to authorize initiation of Part 2 and will confirm the dose level and regimen to be administered in Part 2.

Part 2 will be a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study containing 36 subjects assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive either VT30 or placebo. Up to 12 subjects who complete Part 1 may enroll in Part 2, provided they meet all Part 2-specific inclusion criteria with no applicable exclusions.

After the first 12 subjects in Part 2 have completed 4 weeks of treatment, the SRC will conduct a review of blinded safety data to confirm no revisions or changes are needed to the protocol. Subsequent reviews may also be conducted to ensure continued acceptable safety and tolerability.

After subjects complete their designated Treatment Period (in Part 1 or Part 2), they will participate in a 4-week post treatment Follow-up Period.

What participants receive

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

  • VT30Drug

    VT30 gel is intended as a topical treatment of cutaneous VMs, LMs, or VLMs that driven by inappropriate PI3K activation. In the skin, VT30 is rapidly metabolized to VT10, an active drug form, and is intended to sufficiently permeate the stratum corneum and achieve target engagement. It is expected that VT30 will lead to amelioration of the signs and symptoms of cutaneous VMs, LMs and/or VLMs.

Study groups in NCT04409145
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
VT30ExperimentalVT30 is a PI3K-inhibitor prodrug, formulated as a topical gel and dispensed from a metered dose pump; administration is once or twice daily, applied to target-treatment area(s) on the skin. One pump action dispenses 250 µL of gel, intended to treat an area of 140 cm2.
Receives: Drug: VT30

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of safety and tolerability

    Composite of adverse events and changes in physical exam findings, vital signs, lab tests, and electrocardiogram evaluations

    Measured: From pre-treatment to 4 weeks of treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Maximum feasible dose / maximum tolerable dose

    The MTD or MFD strength will be determined based on results from Part 1, and will inform the dose strength to be used in Part 2

    Measured: From pre-treatment to 4 weeks

  2. Tissue and serum drug levels

    Plasma levels of VT30 and VT10 will be assessed following topical administration of VT30 to determine level of systemic exposure

    Measured: From pre-treatment to 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing VT30 in people with Venous Malformation and Lymphatic Malformation, run by Venthera, Inc., a BridgeBio company at 15 sites 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 7 inclusion and 18 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 4 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Part 1 complete; Part 2 will not be completed.). 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?

Evaluation of safety and tolerability (time frame: From pre-treatment to 4 weeks of treatment). 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 4 Aug 2022.
