Derazantinib in Subjects With FGFR2 Gene Fusion-, Mutation- or Amplification- Positive Inoperable or Advanced Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

NCT03230318

Description:

This pivotal, open-label, single-arm study will evaluate the anti-cancer activity of derazantinib by Objective Response Rate (ORR) by central radiology review as per RECIST v1.1 in subjects with inoperable or advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) whose tumors harbor FGFR2 gene fusions (by FISH performed by the central laboratory) or FGFR2 gene mutations or amplifications (based on NGS testing performed or commissioned by the respective study center) and who received at least one prior regimen of systemic therapy. Subjects will be dosed orally once per day at 300 mg of derazantinib capsules.

             pregnant or impregnating a partner, respectively, use double-barrier contraceptive
             measures, oral contraception, or avoidance of intercourse, during the study*, and
             until at least 120 for 90 days after the last dose of derazantinib.

             *From the day of first study medication, or for oral contraception from 14 days before
             first study medication.

             Male patients are considered not to be of child-producing potential if they have
             azoospermia (whether due to vasectomy or an underlying medical condition). Female
             patients are considered not to be of child-producing potential if they are:

               -  postmenopausal* , or

               -  have had a hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or
                  bilateral tubal ligation/occlusion, at least 6 weeks prior to screening, or

               -  have a congenital or acquired condition that prevents childbearing.

             Male or female patients of child-producing potential must agree to comply with one of
             the following until at least 120 days after the last dose of derazantinib:

               1. Abstinence from heterosexual activity**

               2. Using (or having their partner use) an acceptable method of contraception during
                  heterosexual activity. Acceptable methods of contraception are***:

                    -  any ONE of:

                       - an intrauterine device (IUD)

                       - vasectomy of a female patient's male partner

                       - a contraceptive rod implanted into the skin.

                    -  any TWO in combination of:

                       - diaphragm with spermicide (cannot be used in conjunction with cervical
                       cap/spermicide)

                       - cervical cap with spermicide (nulliparous women only)

                       - contraceptive sponge (nulliparous women only)

                       - male condom or female condom (cannot be used together)

                       - hormonal contraceptive (oral contraceptive pill [estrogen/progestin pill
                       or progestin-only pill], contraceptive skin patch, vaginal contraceptive
                       ring, or subcutaneous contraceptive injection)

                       *Postmenopausal is defined as at least 12 months with no menses without an
                       alternative medical cause; in women < 45 years of age a high follicle
                       stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to
                       confirm a post -menopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception
                       or hormonal replacement therapy. In the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea,
                       a single FSH measurement is not sufficient.

                         -  Abstinence (relative to heterosexual activity) can be used as the sole
                            method of contraception if it is consistently employed as the subject's
                            preferred and usual lifestyle and if considered acceptable by local
                            regulatory agencies and ERCs/IRBs. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar,
                            ovulation, sympto-thermal, post-ovulation methods, etc.) and withdrawal
                            are not acceptable methods of contraception.

                              -  If a contraceptive method listed above is restricted by local
                                 regulations/guidelines, then it does not qualify as an acceptable
                                 method of contraception for subjects participating at sites in
                                 this country/region.

             Exclusion Criteria:

          1. Receipt of treatment before the first dose of study drug (Cycle 1 Day 1) within an
             interval shorter than the following, as applicable:

               -  One chemotherapy or biological (e.g., antibody) cycle interval

               -  Five half-lives of any small-molecule investigational or licensed medicinal
                  product
