Trial summary

Alpelisib (BYL719) is a PIK3CA-specific inhibitor, which was developed by Novartis (Basel, Switzerland). Our group conducted pre-clinical study of alpelisib in eight gastric cancer cell lines: four PIK3CA wild-type (SNU638, SNU668, SNU1, and SNU16) and four PIK3CA mutant (SNU719, AGS, SNU601, and MKN).

About this study

Official title: Phase IB/II Study of Alpelisib in Combination With Paclitaxel in Patients With PIK3CA-altered Metastatic/Recurrent Gastric Cancer

Alpelisib (BYL719) is a PIK3CA-specific inhibitor, which was developed by Novartis (Basel, Switzerland). Our group conducted pre-clinical study of alpelisib in eight gastric cancer cell lines: four PIK3CA wild-type (SNU638, SNU668, SNU1, and SNU16) and four PIK3CA mutant (SNU719, AGS, SNU601, and MKN). As a result, alpelisib preferentially inhibited the growth of gastric cancer cells with PIK3CA mutations. In addition, alpelisib inhibited cell growth via G1 arrest and subsequently induces apoptosis in GC cells, and this effect is more remarkable in cells harboring PIK3CA mutations. Moreover, alpelisib in combination with paclitaxel showed synergistic cytotoxic effects and significantly increased apoptosis compared with alpelisib or paclitaxel monotherapy in GC cells.

The purpose of the study is to define the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of paclitaxel and alpelisib combination therapy in patients with advanced tumors and to evaluate the efficacy of paclitaxel and AZD8186 combination therapy as a second-line therapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer with PTEN aberrations. This study is divided into Phase IB and Phase II.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Alpelisib and Paclitaxel in people with Solid Tumor and Stomach Cancer, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 2 sites in South Korea.

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 18 inclusion and 24 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 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 2 sites in South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yong Min Shin (+82-31-787-8324, r0012@snubh.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximal tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 Aug 2021.
