Olaparib With or Without Cediranib in Treating Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

NCT02893917

Description:

This randomized phase II trial studies how well olaparib with or without cediranib works in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Cediranib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving olaparib and cediranib may help treat patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Purpose

This randomized phase II trial studies how well olaparib with or without cediranib works in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. To assess the clinical activity of the combination of cediranib and olaparib, as measured
      by radiographic progression free survival (rPFS), as compared to olaparib monotherapy in
      patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To assess the clinical activity of the combination of cediranib and olaparib, as measured
      by prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rate, radiographic response rate by Response
      Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1, and overall survival (OS), as
      compared to olaparib monotherapy in patients with mCRPC.

      II. To evaluate association of homologous recombination deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair
      deficiency (HRD) with the clinical activity of the combination of cediranib and olaparib or
      olaparib monotherapy, as measured by rPFS, in mCRPC patients.

      III. To evaluate the safety the combination of cediranib and olaparib and olaparib
      monotherapy in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To characterize genomic alterations by whole exome sequencing in mCRPC patients and
      correlate that with clinical activity or resistance to olaparib with or without cediranib.

      II. To characterize changes in ribonucleic acid (RNA) expression of DNA repair genes,
      angiogenesis markers, and immune markers, by whole transcriptome sequencing and correlate
      with clinical activity or resistance to olaparib with or without cediranib.

      III. To characterize changes in immune tumor microenvironment in mCRPC patients by profiling
      expression of co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory molecules and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes,
      and correlate with clinical activity or resistance to olaparib with or without cediranib.

      IV. To identify baseline predictive biomarkers for rPFS or response and to identify
      on-treatment markers of acquired resistance in men with mCRPC receiving either olaparib plus
      cediranib or olaparib alone.

      V. To explore biomarker signatures that correlate with the clinical activity or resistance to
      olaparib with or without cediranib, including changes in gene expression or acquired
      mutations in tumor biopsies.

      OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

      ARM A: Patients receive olaparib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) and cediranib PO once daily
      (QD) on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or
      unacceptable toxicity.

      ARM B: Patients receive olaparib PO BID on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the
      absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months.

                  luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists (patient who has not
                  undergone orchiectomy), this therapy must have been initiated at least 4 weeks
                  prior to cycle 1, day 1 and must be continued throughout the study

Safety Issue:
Description:The two study arms will be compared for radiographic progression free survival with Kaplan-Meier estimates and log-rank tests. The Rothman confidence interval, which is based on Greenwood's variance, Thomas and Grunkemeier confidence interval, and the simultaneous confidence bands by Nair and Hall and Wellner, will be reported. In addition, the possible risk factors will be compared for survival with log-rank test.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Overall survival
Time Frame:Time between randomization and death due to any cause (or last contact for surviving patients and those lost to follow-up), assessed up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Will use the rank preserving structure failure time model for the overall survival analysis.
Measure:Objective response rate
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. The exact 95% confidence interval of objective response rate will be reported based on the binomial distribution. The multivariate data analysis will be completed using the logistic regression model. The adjusted p-value and adjusted 95% confidence interval will also be reported.
Measure:Prostate-specific antigen response rate
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Prostate-specific antigen response will be defined by prostate-specific antigen decline from baseline > 50%, confirmed by a second value at 3-4 weeks later. Prostate-specific antigen response rate analysis will be based on a subset of patients who had prostate-specific antigen progression prior to enrollment. The multivariate data analysis will be completed using the logistic regression model.
Measure:Correlation between homologous recombination deficiency status and radiographic progression free survival
Time Frame:Up to 2 weeks prior to start of therapy
Safety Issue:
Description:Homologous recombination deficiency positive status is defined by presence of homozygous deletion or deleterious mutations in key homologous recombination genes of deoxyribonucleic acid repair genes as analyzed by BROCA-homologous recombination test. The data analysis will be completed using Fisher's exact test. The multivariate data analysis will be completed using the generalized non-linear model.
Measure:Incidence of genomic alterations
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be assessed by whole exome sequencing and transcriptome sequencing. The biomarker data analysis will be completed using Lasso-based elastic net method.
Measure:incidence of adverse events
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be assessed by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 (CTCAE version 5.0 will be effective by April 1, 2018). Descriptive statistics, including means, standard deviations, and ranges for continuous parameters, as well as percentages and frequencies for categorical parameters, will be presented. Adverse medical events will be tabulated. NCI toxicity grade 3 and grade 4 laboratory abnormalities will be listed and tabled.
