SM-88 as Maintenance Therapy for Advanced Ewing's Sarcoma Patients and as Salvage Therapy for Sarcoma Patients

NCT03778996

Description:

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of SM-88, a combination metabolic cancer treatment, in two study cohorts: - Clinically advanced Ewing's Sarcoma patients who have not progressed at the conclusion of systemic treatment - Clinically advanced sarcoma patients in the salvage treatment setting Up to 24 efficacy evaluable patients (up to 12 per cohort) will be enrolled. Study patients will receive oral SM-88, with scheduled safety and efficacy evaluations.

Purpose

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of SM-88, a combination metabolic cancer treatment, in two study cohorts: - Clinically advanced Ewing's Sarcoma patients who have not progressed at the conclusion of systemic treatment - Clinically advanced sarcoma patients in the salvage treatment setting Up to 24 efficacy evaluable patients (up to 12 per cohort) will be enrolled. Study patients will receive oral SM-88, with scheduled safety and efficacy evaluations.

Detailed Description

      This prospective, open-label, two stage, pilot phase 2 trial evaluates the efficacy and
      safety of SM-88 in two cohorts of patients: 1) as maintenance therapy following standard
      primary or palliative treatments for Ewing's sarcoma patients with high risk of relapse or
      disease progression; and 2) as salvage therapy for patients with clinically advanced
      sarcomas.

      The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of SM-88, a combination metabolic cancer
      treatment, measured as positive efficacy events, including overall response, maintaining
      stable disease for ≥ 3 months, or progression free survival at least 1.5 times longer than
      the last prior line of treatment.

      Eligible patients will receive daily oral treatment with SM-88, which consists of
      D,L-alpha-metyrosine, used with methoxsalen, phenytoin, and sirolimus in continuous treatment
      cycles of 28 days. Treatment will continue until: 1) Symptomatic, clinical progression with
      radiographic progressive disease; 2) 48 weeks after documented complete response; or 3)
      evidence of unacceptable toxicity, or other decision to discontinue treatment

Eligibility Criteria

        Key Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Ability to understand and willingness to provide written informed consent to
             participate in this study

          3. Diagnosis:

               1. Maintenance treatment cohort: Histologic or cytologic diagnosis of Ewing's
                  sarcoma, including non-resected, locally advanced or metastatic disease

               2. Salvage treatment cohort: Non-resected, locally advanced or metastatic sarcoma
                  (including Ewing's sarcoma) for which there is no standard of care treatment and
                  no curative other option

          4. Radiographic disease assessment within 35 days prior to enrollment and planned
             treatment start with study drug

          5. Prior treatment:

               1. Maintenance treatment cohort : 1-3 prior lines of systemic treatment (including
                  current treatment)

               2. Salvage cohort: Any number of prior treatments

          6. Maintenance treatment cohort only: Patient completed current line of treatment
             (systemic, surgery, radiation) prior to enrollment, without disease progression as
             compared to baseline AND has achieved at least one of the following

               1. CR in response to current second or third line treatment

               2. PR in response to current line of treatment (after at least 4 cycles, if
                  treatment included systemic therapy)

               3. SD in response to current line of treatment (after at least 4 cycles, if
                  treatment included systemic therapy)

          7. Measurable disease, except for patients in Cohort A who have achieved CR at the
             conclusion of current 2nd or 3rd line of treatment

          8. ECOG performance status 0-2

          9. Adequate organ function defined as all laboratory parameters ≤ Grade 2 NCI CTCAE

             ability to comply with study requirements

             components of SM-88

          6. History of light sensitive diseases for which methoxsalen would be contraindicated
