Study of Safety and Efficacy of INC280 and Cetuximab, in Adult c-MET Positive mCRC and HNSCC Patients After Progression on Cetuximab or Panitumumab Therapy

NCT02205398

Description:

This was an open-label, phase Ib, multicenter clinical trial to determine the MTD/RDE of the orally administered c-MET inhibitor INC280 in combination with cetuximab. This combination was to be explored in c-MET positive mCRC and HNSCC patients whose disease progressed on cetuximab or panitumumab treatment. The dose escalation part was to be guided by a Bayesian Logistic Regression Model with overdose control. At MTD/RDE, additional mCRC and HNSCC patients who progressed on cetuximab or panitumumab treatment were to be enrolled in two expansion groups to further assess the anti-tumor activity and the safety and tolerability of the combination of INC280 and cetuximab. Patients were to receive INC280 on a continuous bid dosing regimen and cetuximab every week. A treatment cycle was defined as 28 days with no scheduled break between cycles. The trial was terminated because of difficulties in identifying patients who met the eligibility criteria.

Safety Issue:
Description:To estimate the MTD and/or RDE of INC280 in combination with cetuximab in c-MET positive mCRC and HNSCC patients as measured by the incidence of DLTs in Cycle 1. A treatment cycle was defined as 28 days with no scheduled break between cycles.
