MDM2 Inhibitor AMG-232 (KRT-232) and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Soft Tissue Sarcoma

NCT03217266

Description:

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of MDM2 inhibitor AMG-232 (KRT-232) and radiation therapy in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma. MDM2 inhibitor AMG-232 (KRT-232) may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving MDM2 inhibitor AMG-232 (KRT-232) and radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

Purpose

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of MDM2 inhibitor AMG-232 (KRT-232) and radiation therapy in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma. MDM2 inhibitor AMG-232 (KRT-232) may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving MDM2 inhibitor AMG-232 (KRT-232) and radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of MDM2 inhibitor KRT-232 (AMG-232 [KRT-232]) in
      combination with standard-dose radiotherapy in soft tissue sarcoma (STS) in two separate
      patient cohorts (A, extremity or body wall; B, abdomen/pelvis/retroperitoneum).

      II. To determine the maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase II dose (maximum tolerated
      dose/recommended phase 2 dosage [MTD/RP2D]) of AMG 232 (KRT-232) in combination with
      radiotherapy.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To observe and record anti-tumor activity. II. To determine % necrosis and pathologic
      complete response (pCR) in final surgical resection specimen.

      III. To determine % local failure (LF), disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS)
      at 2 years.

      IV. To determine pharmacodynamics (PD) effects of AMG 232 (KRT-232) when combined with
      radiotherapy by assessing serial serum macrophage inhibitory cytokine (MIC)-1 levels.

      V. To determine AMG 232 (KRT-232) exposure (pharmacokinetics)-response relationships (PD,
      toxicity, and efficacy).

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine tumor volume changes determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or
      computed tomography (CT) with and without contrast pre- and post-radiotherapy.

      II. To characterize clinical outcomes in patients treated with AMG 232 (KRT-232) by genomic
      biomarkers.

      III. To determine the correlation between mdm2/4 expression determined by next-generation
      sequencing (NGS) and the protein levels by immunohistochemistry (IHC).

      IV. To explore the possibility of identifying tumor genetic mutations in (1) cell-free (cf)
      circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA), (2) deoxyribonucleic acid/ribonucleic acid
      (DNA/RNA) isolated from exosomes, and determine the concordance of these results and that
      from NGS.

      OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study.

      Patients receive MDM2 inhibitor KRT-232 orally (PO) on day 2, days 2 and 4, days 2-4, days
      2-5, or days 1-5 of weeks 1 to 5. Patients also undergo radiation therapy daily on weeks 1-5.
      Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years, and
      then at 2.5 years.
