Safety and Efficacy of INC280 and Buparlisib (BKM120) in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma

NCT01870726

Description:

The study assessed the safety and the dose of the combination of INC280 and buparlisib (BKM120), as well as the anti-tumor activity of the combination, in patients with recurrent glioblastoma with PTEN mutations, homozygous deletion of PTEN or PTEN negative by IHC. In addition, the anti-tumor activity of INC280 single agent should have been assessed in patients with recurrent glioblastoma with c-Met alteration.

Purpose

The study assessed the safety and the dose of the combination of INC280 and buparlisib (BKM120), as well as the anti-tumor activity of the combination, in patients with recurrent glioblastoma with PTEN mutations, homozygous deletion of PTEN or PTEN negative by IHC. In addition, the anti-tumor activity of INC280 single agent should have been assessed in patients with recurrent glioblastoma with c-Met alteration.

Detailed Description

      This was a multi-center, open-label, phase Ib/II study. The aim of the phase Ib part was to
      estimate the MTD and/or to identify the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) for the combination
      of INC280 and buparlisib, followed by the phase II part to assess the clinical efficacy of
      INC280 single agent and in combination with buparlisib (BKM120), and to further assess the
      safety of the combination. In addition, a surgical arm should have started concurrently with
      the phase II part, to determine the PK/PD profile of the study drug combination in patients
      undergoing tumor resection for recurrent glioblastoma after 7 to 10-days treatment.

      RP2D was not declared due to a lack of efficacy of the combination in the phase Ib stage, and
      phase II was continued with INC280 monotherapy only.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Number of Patients Reporting Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) in Cycle 1
Time Frame:Cycle 1, 28 days
Safety Issue:
Description:A DLT is defined as an adverse event or abnormal laboratory value where the relationship to study treatment cannot be ruled out, and is not primarily related to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications that occurs within the first cycle of treatment (28 days) with INC280 in combination with buparlisib and meets any of the pre-defined criteria. The maximum tolerated dose was identified as INC280 300 mg BID + buparlisib 80 mg QD.

Secondary Outcome Measures

If CTCAE grading did not exist for an AE, the severity of mild, moderate, severe, and lifethreatening, corresponding to Grades 1 - 4, were used. CTCAE Grade 5 (death) was not used in this study but was collected as a seriousness criterion; rather, information about deaths was collected though a Death form.
