A Study Evaluating Safety and Efficacy of Niraparib in Patients With Previously Treated Metastatic Esophageal/Gastroesophageal Junction/Proximal Gastric Adenocarcinoma

NCT03840967

Description:

Patients can be prescreened for the study at the time of diagnosis of locally advanced or metastatic disease by determining presence of LOH high status and/or deleterious alterations in HR pathway genes in the most recent available tumor tissue sample or in blood if they are found to have germline mutations. Patients with either somatic or germline mutations will be allowed. At the time of disease progression, patients with high LOH or deleterious alterations in HR pathway genes and satisfying all other inclusion criteria will be enrolled on the study. Patients will be treated with niraparib (flat dose) orally every day for 28 days until disease progression, unacceptable side effects, withdrawal of consent, or death. CT of the chest/abdomen/pelvis will be performed every 2 months and response will be assessed by RECIST 1.1.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Written informed consent and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health
             information. NOTE: HIPAA authorization may be included in the informed consent or
             obtained separately.

          2. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent.

          3. ECOG Performance Status of 0-1 within 14 days prior to registration.

          4. Locally advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma or proximal gastric adenocarcinoma or
             metastatic adenocarcinoma originating from esophagus, GE junction, or proximal stomach
             who progress/recur beyond 2 months of receiving a platinum- containing regimen

             NOTE: Patients can be pre-screened for study at any time including after surgical
             resection for locally advanced esophageal cancer, at presentation with metastatic
             disease and potentially during chemotherapy and radiation prior to surgery.

          5. A subject with symptomatic brain metastasis may be considered if they have completed
             their treatment for brain metastasis at least 4 weeks prior to study registration,
             have been off of corticosteroids for ≥ 2 weeks, and are asymptomatic. Patients with
             asymptomatic brain mets that are untreated will be allowed.

          6. Must not have received more than 1 prior line of chemotherapy in the metastatic
             setting (could have received immunotherapy, VEGF directed therapy, and/or trastuzumab
             which does not count as chemotherapy).

          7. One of the following genetic results is required for eligibility:

               -  High LOH in tissue OR

               -  HR mutation in tissue OR

               -  Germline mutation (blood)

             NOTE: Mutations, deletions or loss by fusions are the acceptable alterations in HR
             genes as long as they are deleterious. Patients are eligible if they have a mutation
             in pre-specified HR genes BRCA1/2, PALB2, ATM, BARD1, BRIP1, CDK12, CHEK2, FANCA,
             RAD51, RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, RAD54L, NBN, ARID1A and GEN1. Deleterious mutations in
             HR genes are defined as those that have been previously characterized to be
             loss-of-function/pathogenic/or likely pathogenic as specified per the following
             databases: Clinvar, OncoKB, or BRCAExchange. Mutations or small insertions or
             deletions that results in truncation, frameshift, stop codon loss, or stop codon gain
             will also be considered deleterious irrespective of their presence in the
             aforementioned databases unless previously characterized to be benign. Copy number
             losses or disruption by fusion will also be considered deleterious irrespective of
             their presence in the aforementioned databases. Gene amplifications or variants of
             unknown significance will not be eligible for inclusion.

             NOTE: Genetic testing results from a CLIA certified lab that confirm one of the
             following: high LOH in tissue, HR mutation in tissue or germline mutation in blood are
             required and can be used to meet eligibility. Even if subject has met eligibility with
             one of the criteria above, results from the other analysis is required if available.

             If prior genetic results are not available, subject must have archival tissue or fresh
             tissue (by new biopsy) for testing. Both primary tumor tissue and metastatic site
             sample biopsies are allowed. Blood will also be required for germline mutation
             analyses. Central confirmation of all results will be performed but are not mandated
             for eligibility. If a subject has met eligibility with prior genetic results but does
             not have sufficient archival tissue for central confirmation, a biopsy is not
             required.

          8. Presence of measurable disease by RECIST v1.1, defined as:

               -  Tumor lesions that must be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest
                  diameter in the plane of measurement is to be recorded) with a minimum size of:

                    -  10 mm by CT scan (CT scan slice thickness no greater than 5 mm)

                    -  10 mm caliper measurement by clinical exam (lesions which cannot be
                       accurately measured with calipers should be recorded as non-measurable)

                    -  20 mm by chest X-ray

               -  Malignant lymph nodes: To be considered pathologically enlarged and measurable, a
                  lymph node must be ≥ 15 mm in short axis when assessed by CT scan (CT scan slice
                  thickness recommended to be no greater than 5 mm). At baseline and in follow-up,
                  only the short axis will be measured and followed.

          9. Prior cancer treatment must be completed at least 14 days prior to registration and
             the subject must have recovered from all reversible acute toxic effects of the regimen
