E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Dose escalation phase (Phase I) • To determine the MTD based on the incidence of the DLT of TKI258, administered orally on a 5 days on/2 days off schedule to adult patients with advanced or metastatic RCC whose diseases have progressed despite standard therapy or for whom no standard anticancer therapy exists.
Dose expansion phase (Phase II) • To assess anti-tumor activity of TKI258 in patients who have been previously treated with VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (sunitinib and/or sorafenib) mTOR inhibitor and have measurable histologically or cytologically confirmed progressive advanced or metastatic RCC with predominant clear cell histology (>50%) based on the proportion of patients experiencing clinical response (CR and PR) and no clinical benefit at 8 weeks post-treatment |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives (both escalation and expansion parts) • To assess the safety profile of TKI258 administered orally on a 5 days on/2 days off schedule in this patient population. • To characterize the single and multiple-dose PK profiles of oral TKI258 on a 5 days on/2 days off dosing schedule schedule in all patients and a subset of patients of Asian ethnicity. • To assess the effect of TKI258 on plasma biomarkers pre- and post-treatment: • To evaluate concentrations of circulating growth factors, soluble receptors (e.g. bFGF, VEGF, PlGF, sVEGFR1 and 2). • To assess anti-tumor activity of TKI258 based on PFS and OS |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Inclusion criteria -- Dose escalation phase only • Patients with advanced or metastatic renal cancer for whom no other therapeutic options exist (measurable lesion by RECIST is not required).
Dose expansion phase only -- 1. Patients that must have been previously treated with VEGF receptor tyrosin kinase inhibitor(sunitinib and/or sorafenib) and mTOR inhibitor. However, patients previously treated with other therapies (e.g. IL-2, IF-α) are also allowed to be enrolled and treated to determine the effect of TKI258 in patients who had not been treated with VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor and mTOR therapy. 2. Patients of Asian ethnicity: who failed standard treatment or for whom no standard treatment exists. 3. Patients with at least one measurable lesion at baseline as per the RECIST criteria, either on physical exam or as determined by Computer Tomography (CT) Scan or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
Dose escalation and dose expansion phase -- • Prior therapy with any prior anti-cancer agent (i.e. IL-2, Interferon, etc.) is permitted as long as it is administered 14 days (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C and 4 weeks for any investigational agents and bevacizumab) prior to first administration of TKI258 (cycle 1 day 1). The only exception is made for palliative radiotherapy for symptomatic bone metastases. Patients must have recovered from adverse events (to grade 1 or less toxicity according to CTCAE 3.0) due to the prior anticancer agents(with the exception of the GI toxicities mentioned in the exclusion criteria). • Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed progressive metastatic renal cell carcinoma with predominant clear cell histology (>50%). • Age at least 18 years. • ECOG performance status 0 or 1. • Required baseline laboratory data includes: • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1,500/mm3 [SI units 1.5 x 109/L] • Platelets greater than or equal to 75,000/mm3 [SI units 75 x 109/L] • Hemoglobin greater than or equal to 8.0 gm/dL [SI units 80 gm/L] • Serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) • Bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN • AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) less than or equal to 2.5 x ULN, except for subjects with tumor involvement of the liver who must have AST and ALT less than or equal to 5 x ULN • Amylase, Lipase less than or equal to ULN • Electrolyte levels should be within normal limits • Urine dipstick reading: Negative for proteinuria or, if documentation of +1 results for protein on dipstick reading, then total urinary protein less than or equal to 500 mg and measured creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 50 mL/min/1.73m2 from a 24-hour urine collection • Life expectancy greater than or equal to 12 weeks. • Signed and witnessed informed consent form obtained prior to any screening procedures. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Exclusion criteria (dose escalation and dose expansion phases) • Concurrent therapy with any other investigational agent within 28 days prior to baseline. • Women of child-bearing potential who are pregnant or breast feeding or adults of reproductive potential not employing an effective method of birth control. Barrier contraceptives must be used throughout the trial in both sexes. Oral, implantable, or injectable contraceptives may be affected by cytochrome P450 interactions, and are therefore not considered effective for this study. Women of child-bearing potential, defined as sexually mature women who have not undergone a hysterectomy or who have not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e. who has had menses any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months), must have a negative serum pregnancy test less than or equal to 72 hours prior to starting TKI258. • Clinically significant cardiac disease (New York Heart Association, Class III or IV) or impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac diseases, including any one of the following: • LVEF < 45% as determined by MUGA scan or echocardiogram • Complete left bundle branch block • Obligate use of a cardiac pacemaker • Congenital long QT syndrome • History or presence of ventricular tachyarrhythmia • Presence of unstable atrial fibrillation (ventricular response > 100 bpm). Patients with stable atrial fibrillation are eligible, provided they do not meet any of the other cardiac exclusion criteria • Clinically significant resting bradycardia (< 50 bpm) • Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg, with or without antihypertensive medication) • QTc > 480 msec on screening ECG • Right bundle branch block + left anterior hemiblock (bifasicular block) • Angina pectoris less than or equal to 3 months prior to starting study drug • Acute Myocardial Infarction less than or equal to 3 months prior to starting study drug • Other clinically significant heart disease (e.g., CHF, history of labile hypertension, or history of poor compliance with an antihypertensive regimen) • Uncontrolled infection. • Diabetes mellitus (insulin dependent or independent disease, requiring chronic medication) with signs of clinically significant peripheral vascular disease. • Previous pericarditis; clinically significant pleural effusion in the previous 12 months or current ascites requiring two or more interventions/month (in both the dose escalation and dose expansion). • Known pre-existing clinically significant disorder of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, adrenal or thyroid glands. • Prior acute or chronic pancreatitis of any etiology. • Acute and chronic liver disease and all chronic liver impairment. • Malabsorption syndrome or uncontrolled gastrointestinal toxicities (nausea, diarrhea, vomiting) with toxicity greater than NCI CTCAE grade 2. • Other severe, acute, or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for this study. • Treatment with any of the medications that have a potential risk of prolonging the QT interval or inducing Torsades de Points and the treatment cannot be discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to starting study drug. • Use of ketoconazole, erythromycin, carbamazapine, phenobarbital, rifampin, phenytoin, and quinidine 2 weeks prior baseline. • Major surgery less than or equal to 28 days prior to starting study drug or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy. • Known diagnosis of HIV infection (HIV testing is not mandatory). • History of another primary malignancy that is currently clinically significant or currently requires active intervention. • Patients with brain metastases as assessed by radiologic imaging (e.g. CT, MRI) • Alcohol or substance abuse disorder. |
