About this study

This study is looking at outcomes in people with advanced cancers who have exhausted standard treatment options and are accessing off indication or unregistered drugs or combinations of drugs through compassionate access from the manufacturer.

Read the detailed description

Some advanced cancers have numerous standard treatment options that have proven efficacy in clinical trials. However, in other cancers, there may be few or no standard treatment options with proven efficacy as determined in a large clinical trial. This may be particularly the case for rare cancers in which there is a lack of clinical research. When seriously ill patients run out of standard treatment options, they will often consider non-standard treatment options (such as treatments that are currently unapproved by the regulatory agency for the given indication). The majority of clinicians and researchers agree that this is best received in a clinical trial setting as this provides ethical and clinical oversight, as well as addresses prospectively defined research questions which can be publicly reported. This allows the conclusions of the research to be available to the entire clinical and research community.

In general, an access program enables patient access to a non-reimbursed therapeutic agent, outside of a clinical trial setting. Compassionate access is typically for therapeutics that are not yet approved or TGA registered, and are still considered investigational. In general, there is a negotiation between the pharmaceutical company and the clinician and patient regarding access to the therapeutic agent, as well as whether the medicine will be provided free of charge, or on some form of cost-sharing arrangement. In Australia, access to TGA non-registered medicines also requires an application via the "Special Access Scheme". For most cancer patients, the use falls under category A, for a patient defined as seriously ill. This sub-study generally pertains to compassionate access to therapeutic agents. Given the ad hoc nature of compassionate access for patients, there is relatively little reported data on clinical outcomes.

Compassionate access is an established process with increasing demands. This study is designed to provide a framework for which patients treated with compassionate access therapeutics can register, so that some of the limitations of ad hoc compassionate access programs can be overcome.

A study committee will prospectively assess each individual patient's detailed treatment approach in an objective and time-efficient manner. If approved, the patient may be eligible to register into the treatment phase of the study. The study committee is essential to provide a balanced approach to understanding the rationale for the study treatment, as well as potential safety issues that may arise. As previously reported, this is an essential component to improving patient oversight as well as equity

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety of the study design as mechanism for administering individualised therapies to individuals with incurable malignancies

    Severity of adverse events as determined by NCI CTCAE v5.0

    Measured: At the end of the study, approximately 5 years after the first participant commences treatment

  2. Feasibility of the study design as mechanism for administering individualised therapies to individuals with incurable malignancies

    Feasibility measured by:

    Number of treatment plans proposed to the study committee Proportion of treatment plans proposed that are approved Proportion of approved plans for which study drug(s) were obtained Proportion of approved plans for which study drug(s) were obtained and patient was registered on the trial

    Measured: At the end of the study, approximately 5 years after the first participant commences treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Efficacy of individualised therapies in patients registered to the study

    Efficacy measured by:

    • Objective response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of patients with an objective response (partial response [PR] or complete response [CR]), as determined by the Investigator by RECIST 1.1 (or RANO for primary CNS cancers or Cheson IWG for lymphomas)
    • Clinical benefit rate (CBR), defined as the proportion of patients with CR, PR, or stable disease for ≥ 4 months, as determined by the Investigator by RECIST 1.1 (or RANO for primary CNS cancers or Cheson IWG for lymphomas)
    • Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the time from registration to the first occurrence of disease progression, as determined by the Investigator according to RECIST 1.1 or RANO for primary CNS cancers or Cheson IWG for lymphomas, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
    • Overall survival (OS)

    Measured: At the end of the study, approximately 5 years after the first participant commences treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Trametinib, Cobimetinib and Binimetinib in people with Cancer, run by Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Australia at 1 site in Australia.

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 22 inclusion and 12 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 10 May 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 Australia. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: low recruitment). 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?

Safety of the study design as mechanism for administering individualised therapies to individuals with incurable malignancies (time frame: At the end of the study, approximately 5 years after the first participant commences treatment). 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 10 May 2023.
