About this study

Official title: Personalised, Rational, Efficacy-driven Cancer Drug Dosing Via an Artificial Intelligence SystEm - CURATE.AI (PRECISE CURATE.AI Trial)

In the current clinical context, drug dosing in oncology is dictated by toxicity. The optimal dosages of drugs in combinatory regimens for solid tumours are not clear, and the typical physician's decision on dose adjustment is a clinical judgement based on the degree of toxicity experienced by the patient. CURATE.AI - a small data, AI-derived technology platform - allows personalised guidance of an individual's dose modulations based only on that individual's data. Additionally, CURATE.AI is mechanism-independent, and dynamically adapts to changes experienced by the subject, providing dynamic dose optimisation throughout the duration of the subject's treatment. This study aims to demonstrate the feasibility of applying CURATE.AI in standard of care settings for treatment of solid tumours. An additional objective is to explore tumour markers in serial measurements at weekly frequency of probing, with modulated doses.

Read the detailed description

Cancer patients are given drug combinations that promote cancer cell elimination. The final drug concentration in the body must fall within a narrow range that maximises cancer elimination while minimizing toxic side effects. The complexity of this task increases significantly with the number of drugs given in combination due to increasing parameters and stochastic behaviour of a biological system. Currently, the established approach is to select maximum tolerated doses (MTD) - the highest drug doses that do not cause unacceptable side effects. Treatment efficacy does not guide dose selection. Combined with limited personalisation, this dosing strategy often results in suboptimal outcomes of the treatment.

CURATE.AI is an AI-derived, mechanism-independent, small data technology platform for personalised, dynamic dosing. CURATE.AI uses a quadratic equation to generate individualised CURATE.AI profile and dosing recommendation based on only that individual's medical data: drug doses and the corresponding response marker (e.g. blood tumour markers). Profile recalibration via CURATE.AI facilitates dynamic dosing and personalised care throughout the treatment duration, aimed at achieving the highest efficacy within pre-specified safe dose ranges.

CURATE.AI is an indication-agnostic platform that has already been applied clinically for a range of indications including in oncology. CURATE.AI can be applied to indications that demonstrate regularly measured dose-dependent relationship between the treatment dose and the treatment response (i.e. biomarker level). Currently, the gold standard of monitoring treatment response in solid tumour is via radiology (using criteria such as RECIST), which is usually done at the end of a few cycles of systemic therapy and therefore not suitable to be used as a CURATE.AI input signal for drug dose adjustment between cycles.. Additionally, haematological neoplasms often cannot be monitored with imaging. Waldenström macroglobulinaemia treatment response is assessed using an adaptation of the response criteria from the Eighth International Workshop on Waldenström macroglobulinaemia (IWWM-8) that includes blood markers. Blood-based tumour markers, e.g. carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) markers, are more suitable to be implemented into CURATE.AI. Apart from these traditional tumour markers, recent advances in genomic sequencing have led to the application of plasma circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) level as a novel marker of tumour burden. In addition, the serum free light chain (sFLC) has been widely used to assess treatment response for patients with multiple myeloma and other plasma cell dyscrasias, and has shown potential as a novel marker for disease burden in Waldenström macroglobulinaemia. Therefore, serial ctDNA and sFLC measurements, may be an appropriate input for CURATE.AI.

This Pilot Clinical Trial aims to set foundation to investigate the applicability and feasibility of the CURATE.AI platform within the current clinical setting for guided dosing of various systemic therapies commonly used for solid and haematological neoplasms

Individualised CURATE.AI profiles will be generated based on each participant's response to a set of drug doses. Subsequently, the personalised CURATE.AI profile will be used to recommend the efficacy-driven dose. CURATE.AI will operate only within the safety range for each drug prespecified for each participant.

This Pilot Clinical Trial and feasibility study will inform the investigators on the logistical and practical aspects of performing a large-scale randomised study and on the suitability of CURATE.AI for guided dosing of a wider range of chemotherapy regimens. An additional objective is to explore the utility of CEA, CA19-9, Ig M, ctDNA and sFLC as tumour markers in serial measurements at weekly frequency of probing, with modulated doses. ctDNA and sFLC will be also explored as an input for CURATE.AI to generate dose recommendations, however this analysis will not be used to prospectively guide dosing.

What participants receive

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

  • CURATE.AIDevice

    Efficacy and toxicity measurements at the end of each dosing cycle, together with an information on given drugs and their doses, and other patient data, will be used by CURATE.AI to recommend the dose of capecitabine and Ibrutinib for the next cycle. The clinical investigators will decide whether or not to administer or prescribe the dose recommendation from CURATE.AI.

  • CapecitabineDrug

    Also called XELODA

    Treatment with the selected regimen will take up to a maximum duration of 12 months, in 3-week cycles. CURATE.AI dose recommendations will be generated before each chemotherapy cycle; fixed throughout the cycle; and within 1) the predetermined safety range (50% to 100% of dose used in standard of care treatment) and 2) subject-specific dosing range. Maximum total cumulative dose per cycle of capecitabine in the predetermined safety range is set at 100% of standard starting dose (i.e. , 1250mg/m2 twice daily for single agent capecitabine regimen). Minimum total cumulative dose per cycle of capecitabine in the predetermined safety range is set at 50% of the standard starting dose (i.e. 625mg/m2 twice daily for single agent capecitabine). Subject-specific dosing range may alter those numbers to suit the specific circumstances of the subject, thus giving the subject specific safe dosing range.

  • XELOXDrug

    Treatment with the selected regimen will take up to a maximum duration of 12 months, in 3-week cycles. CURATE.AI dose recommendations will be generated before each chemotherapy cycle; fixed throughout the cycle; and within 1) the predetermined safety range (50% to 100% of dose used in standard of care treatment) and 2) subject-specific dosing range. Maximum dose of capecitabine in the predetermined safety range is set at 100% of standard starting dose (i.e. 1000 mg/m2 twice daily for XELOX regimen). Minimum dose of capecitabine in the predetermined safety range is set at 50% of the standard starting dose (i.e. 500 mg/m2 twice daily for XELOX regimen). Subject-specific dosing range may alter those numbers to suit the specific circumstances of the subject, thus giving the subject specific safe dosing range. The doses of other drug in the XELOX regimen (oxaliplatin) will be held constant or adjusted at the clinical investigator's discretion, as per standard of care.

  • XELIRIDrug

    Treatment with the selected regimen will take up to a maximum duration of 12 months, in 3-week cycles. CURATE.AI dose recommendations will be generated before each chemotherapy cycle; fixed throughout the cycle; and within 1) the predetermined safety range (50% to 100% of dose used in standard of care treatment) and 2) subject-specific dosing range. Maximum dose of capecitabine in the predetermined safety range is set at 100% of standard starting dose (i.e. 1000 mg/m2 twice daily for XELIRI regimen). Minimum dose of capecitabine in the predetermined safety range is set at 50% of the standard starting dose (i.e. 500 mg/m2 twice daily for XELIRI regimen). Subject-specific dosing range may alter those numbers to suit the specific circumstances of the subject, thus giving the subject specific safe dosing range.

    The doses of other drug in the XELIRI regimen (irinotecan) will be held constant or adjusted at the clinical investigator's discretion, as per standard of care.

  • IbrutinibDrug

    Treatment with the selected regimen will take up to a maximum duration of 12 months, in 4-week cycles. CURATE.AI dose recommendations will be generated before each chemotherapy cycle; fixed throughout the cycle; and within 1) the predetermined safety range (50% to 100% of dose used in standard of care treatment) and 2) subject-specific dosing range.

    Maximum total cumulative dose per cycle of Ibrutinib in the predetermined safety range is set at 100% of standard starting dose (i.e. 420 mg once daily for 4 weeks, which constitutes the total of 11760 mg per cycle). Minimum total cumulative dose per cycle of Ibrutinib in the predetermined safety range is set at 50% of the standard starting dose (i.e. 280 mg once daily on alternative days with 140 mg once daily, which constitutes the total of 5880 mg per cycle). The dosing range may be altered to suit the specific circumstances of the participant, thus giving the participant-specific safe dosing range.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of participants in whom we successfully apply CURATE.AI profile.

    CURATE.AI applicability: Percentage of participants in whom we successfully apply CURATE.AI profile. Based on percentages, outcomes will be classified as Green (>70%) / Yellow (10-70%) / Red (<10%).

    A decision on whether we "successfully apply" the CURATE.AI profile requires expert judgement and cannot be made based on a purely numerical process. The expert panel will consider the following factors with careful regard for the individual circumstances of each participant:

    1. Error/variance (biological/analytical) is sufficiently small to allow accurate predictions
    2. Profile can be generated sufficiently early for the participant to potentially benefit;
    3. Dose-dependent relationship is observed;
    4. Profile is actionable (i.e. fulfils the clinical investigator's pre-specified safety requirements);
    5. Systemic changes in the participant which require profile recalibration are rare or readily assimilated into the CURATE.AI algorithm.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Patient adherence

    Percentage of participants who always adhered to the prescribed dose whenever they took their medication, as measured by the standardised pharmacovigilance protocol. Based on percentages, outcomes will be classified as Green (>90%) / Yellow (10-90%) / Red (<10%).

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  2. Timely delivery of CURATE.AI recommendations to the clinician

    Percentage of CURATE.AI recommendations provided in time for the next chemotherapy cycle, across all participants and cycles. Based on percentages, outcomes will be classified as Green (100%) / Yellow (10-99%) / Red (<10%).

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  3. CURATE.AI relevance

    Percentage of dosing events across all participants and cycles in which CURATE.AI recommendation is considered in the clinical decision-making process. Based on percentages, outcomes will be classified as Green (100%) / Yellow (10-99%) / Red (<10%).

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  4. Physician adherence

    Percentage of CURATE.AI recommended doses that were used by the clinical investigator. Based on percentages, outcomes will be classified as Green (>70%) / Yellow (10-70%) / Red (<10%).

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  5. Clinically significant dose changes

    Percentage of participants in whom the CURATE.AI-guided cumulative dose is substantially (≥10%) different from the projected standard-of-care cumulative dose. Based on percentages, outcomes will be classified as Green (>20%) / Yellow (1-20%) / Red (0%).

    Measured: Up to 12 months
