To investigate the pharmacodynamic activity of Debio 1143, alone or in combination with cisplatin, in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck |
|

To assess the safety profile of Debio 1143 alone and combined with cisplatin (CDDP).
To determine the safety on patient post operative bleeding and wound healing.
To assess the ability of to induce cellular apoptosis, and/or tumour necrosis and/or reduce tumour proliferation.
To assess any early evidence of biological response as evaluated by 18F-FDG PET;
To assess potential effect on immune signalling.
To explore plasma PK and tissue levels of Debio 1143 and its metabolite D-1143-MET1.
To explore potential PBs ( may include but not limited to DNA alterations, mRNA, and protein levels) that may be predictive of differences in response.
To explore genes that may be involved in DMET activity of Debio 1143 to identify potential genetic variations that may be predictive of differences in the PK .
To correlate 18F-FDG PET results with PK and PDy if deemed appropriate.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
To assess the effect of Debio 1143 and Debio 1143 combined with CDDP on cIAP-1 levels in patients with SCCHN. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
1.Change in vital signs and ECOG PS.
2.Incidence of SAEs.
3.Incidence and severity of AEs graded according to the NCI-CTCAE v4 criteria.
4.Incidence and severity of laboratory abnormalities graded according to the NCI-CTCAE v4 criteria.
5.Rate of severe post-operative bleeding defined as decrease of haemoglobin (Hb) > 2 g/dL and clinical evidence of blood loss (eg, melaena, haematuria or surgical wound bleeding). Each case of Hb decrease > 2 g/dL with iron blood deficiency will be discussed between the Investigator and the Study Medical Monitor to decide whether the observed AE is related or not to post-surgical signs of bleeding.

7. Assessment of the effect of Debio 1143 alone or combined with CDDP on apoptosis, and/or necrosis and/or proliferation markers in tumours.
8. Measurement of any early biological response to Debio 1143 alone or combined with CDDP by 18F-FDG PET.
9. Assessment of the effect of Debio 1143 alone or combined with CDDP on immune signalling.
10. PK parameters (Cmax, Tmax, AUC, T1/2, Ctrough, Cav, ARCmax, ARAUC, LIAUC, CL/F [only Debio 1143, V/F [only Debio 1143) of Debio 1143 alone and its metabolite D-1143-MET1 in plasma.
11. Tumour concentration distribution of Debio 1143 based on MALDI-MS method.
12. PK parameters (Cmax, AUC, CL) of free and total CDDP in plasma.
13. Visual predictive check of relationships between selected PK parameters and PDy and PGx markers.
