Veliparib and Irinotecan Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Cancer That Is Metastatic or Cannot Be Removed by Surgery

NCT00576654

Description:

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of veliparib when given together with irinotecan hydrochloride in treating patients with cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or that cannot be removed by surgery. Irinotecan hydrochloride can kill cancer cells by damaging the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that is needed for cancer cell survival and growth. Veliparib may block proteins that repair the damaged DNA and may help irinotecan hydrochloride to kill more tumor cells. Giving irinotecan hydrochloride together with veliparib may kill more cancer cells.

Purpose

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of veliparib when given together with irinotecan hydrochloride in treating patients with cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or that cannot be removed by surgery. Irinotecan hydrochloride can kill cancer cells by damaging the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that is needed for cancer cell survival and growth. Veliparib may block proteins that repair the damaged DNA and may help irinotecan hydrochloride to kill more tumor cells. Giving irinotecan hydrochloride together with veliparib may kill more cancer cells.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the optimal biologic dose (OBD) for poly (adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose)
      polymerase (PARP) inhibition using irinotecan (irinotecan hydrochloride) (once weekly
      intravenously in 2 of 3 weeks), in combination with ABT-888 (veliparib) (twice daily orally
      for 2 of 3 weeks). (ORIGINAL DOSE ESCALATION PORTION) II. To determine the recommended phase
      II dose (RP2D) for irinotecan (once weekly intravenously in 2 of 3 weeks), in combination
      with ABT-888 (twice daily orally for 2 of 3 weeks), determined by evaluating the feasibility,
      safety, dose limiting toxicities and the maximally tolerated dose. (ORIGINAL DOSE ESCALATION
      PORTION) III. To determine the safety profile of irinotecan in combination with ABT-888: the
      incidence of adverse events (AEs) and clinically significant changes in laboratory tests,
      electrocardiograms (ECGs), and vital signs. (ORIGINAL DOSE ESCALATION PORTION) IV. To
      determine the safety profile of irinotecan in combination with ABT-888 at the recommended
      phase II dose: the incidence of adverse events (AEs) and clinically significant changes in
      laboratory tests, ECGs, and vital signs. (ORIGINAL DOSE ESCALATION PORTION) V. To determine
      the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of each drug for irinotecan (once weekly intravenously
      in 2 of 3 weeks), in combination with ABT-888 (twice daily orally for intermittent dosing
      days 1 to 4 and days 8 to 11 of each cycle), determined by evaluating the feasibility,
      safety, dose limiting toxicities and the maximally tolerated dose (MTD). (DOSE ESCALATION FOR
      INTERMITTENT ABT-888 PORTION) VI. To determine the safety profile of irinotecan in
      combination with ABT-888: the incidence of adverse events (AEs) and clinically significant

      cells (PBMC) by measurement of PAR levels. (ORIGINAL DOSE ESCALATION PORTION) II. DNA
      damaging effects of irinotecan and the combination of irinotecan with ABT-888: levels of
      gamma H2A histone family, member X (gamma-H2AX) and RAD51 recombinase (Rad51) formation in
      tumor tissue. (ORIGINAL DOSE ESCALATION PORTION) III. Relevance of cytochrome P450 family 2,

      glucuronosyltransferase 1 family, polypeptide A1 (UGT1A1) polymorphism, and ATP-binding
      cassette, sub-family G (WHITE), member 2 (ABCG2) polymorphism to the pharmacokinetics of
      irinotecan and/or ABT-888. (ORIGINAL DOSE ESCALATION PORTION) IV. To explore whether a
      positive gamma-H2AX response in tumor tissue at 4-6 hours (hrs) is reflected in circulating
      tumor cells (CTCs) between 8-24 hrs but not at 4-6 hrs, as predicted. (EXPANSION PORTION) V.
      To explore whether PARP inhibition increases gamma-H2AX response of CTCs to plasma drug by
      4-6 hrs after CPT-11 administration. (EXPANSION PORTION) VI. To explore whether PARP
      inhibition increases gamma-H2AX response of tumor cells to tissue drug level, as indicated by
      CTCs at 8-24 hrs after CPT-11. (EXPANSION PORTION) VII. To explore when the gamma-H2AX
      response peak in CTCs occurs, indicating a response in tumor. (EXPANSION PORTION) VIII. To
      explore whether there is a tumor switch between gamma-H2AX and excision repair
      cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1)-mediated repair in the presence of PARP inhibition,
      (i.e., repeat initial PBMC and tumor findings). (EXPANSION PORTION) IX. To perform analysis
      of CTCs at day 15 to help guide alteration in ABT-888 drug administration schedule
      (continuous administration). (EXPANSION PORTION) X. To sequence the genome and transcriptome
      from both normal and tumor tissue from each study patient in the expansion cohort to evaluate
      point mutations, structural changes and copy number events. (EXPANSION PORTION) XI. To
      evaluate the damaging effects of irinotecan and the combination of irinotecan with ABT-888 by
      examining levels of Rad51 formation in tumors. (EXPANSION PORTION) XII. To evaluate the
      percentage of breast cancer stem cells (BCSC) in serial breast tumor biopsies before and
      after irinotecan alone and after 1 cycle of treatment with the combination of irinotecan and
      ABT-888. (EXPANSION PORTION) XIII. To perform molecular profiling of the tumor cell and BCSC
      populations before and after irinotecan alone and after 1 cycle of treatment with the
      combination of irinotecan and ABT-888. (EXPANSION PORTION) XIV. To compare Rad51 foci in
      aldehyde dehydrogenase-positive (ALDH+) stem cell populations to the bulk tumor cells.
      (EXPANSION PORTION) XV. To develop assays to detect trapping of PARP1 and 2 in tumor biopsy
      tissue in response to treatment with irinotecan plus a PARP inhibitor, in this case ABT-888.
      (DOSE ESCALATION FOR INTERMITTENT ABT-888 PORTION) XVI. Additional exploratory assay to be
      named later. (DOSE ESCALATION FOR INTERMITTENT ABT-888 PORTION)
