Study of Vismodegib in Advanced Gastric Adenocarcinoma Patients With SMO Overexpression

NCT03052478

Description:

There is no accepted standard therapy for patients with advanced gastric cancer who have progressed during or after second-line therapy. The role of 3rd line treatment in advanced gastric cancer has not been proven. As a novel target of gastric cancer, SMO overexpression is chosen in this study, and the investigators plan this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vismodegib in gastric cancer. The doses of vismodegib are based on trials of basal cell carcinoma.

Purpose

There is no accepted standard therapy for patients with advanced gastric cancer who have progressed during or after second-line therapy. The role of 3rd line treatment in advanced gastric cancer has not been proven. As a novel target of gastric cancer, SMO overexpression is chosen in this study, and the investigators plan this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vismodegib in gastric cancer. The doses of vismodegib are based on trials of basal cell carcinoma.

                  neoadjuvant therapy.

               -  Acceptable prior chemotherapy regimens for this protocol are chemotherapy
                  regimens that include Immune Target agent therapy. (such as a pembrolizumab,
                  ramucirumab etc)

          4. Have the presence of measurable disease as defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria
             in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1

          5. Patients with SMO overexpression by IHC

          6. Patients are willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the
             study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations.

          7. ECOG performance status 0-1.

          8. Patients must have a life expectancy ≥ 3 months from proposed first dose date.

          9. Patients must have acceptable bone marrow, liver and renal function measured within 28
             days prior to administration of study treatment as defined below:

               -  Haemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL (transfusion allowed)

               -  Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L

               -  White blood cells (WBC) > 3 x 109/L

               -  AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal unless liver
                  metastases are present in which case it must be ≤ 5x ULN

               -  Serum creatinine ≤1.5 x institutional ULN
