Purpose

MARIO-3 is a Phase 2 multi-arm combination cohort study designed to evaluate IPI-549, Infinity Pharmaceutical's first-in-class, oral immuno-oncology product candidate targeting immune-suppressive tumor-associated myeloid cells through selective inhibition of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-gamma, in combinations with Tecentriq and Abraxane (nab-paclitaxel) in front-line triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and in combination with Tecentriq and Avastin (bevacizumab) in front-line renal cell cancer (RCC).

Detailed Description

      MARIO-3 (Macrophage Reprogramming in Immuno-Oncology) is a prospective Phase 2 multi-arm,
      multicenter, open-label, combination cohort study designed to evaluate IPI-549, Infinity
      Pharmaceutical's first-in-class, oral immuno-oncology product candidate targeting
      immune-suppressive tumor-associated myeloid cells through selective inhibition of
      phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-gamma. IPI-549 will be administered in combinations with
      Tecentriq and Abraxane (nab-paclitaxel) in front-line triple negative breast cancer (TNBC)
      and in combination with Tecentriq and Avastin (bevacizumab) in front-line renal cell cancer
      (RCC).

      This study will enroll approximately 90 treatment-naïve patients across the following disease
      cohorts. Cohort A will be composed of patients with locally advanced and/or metastatic
      triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Cohort B will be composed of patients with locally
      advanced and/or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

      The primary objective of MARIO-3 is to evaluate the complete response (CR) rate per Response
      Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 following combination treatment with
      IPI-549 and front-line treatment in patients with TNBC and RCC. Its secondary objectives
      include evaluation of the safety, objective response rate (ORR), time to CR (TTCR), time to
      response (TTR), duration of CR (DOCR), duration of response (DOR), and progression-free
      survival (PFS).

             may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug
             administration, impair the ability of the patient to receive protocol therapy, or
             interfere with the interpretation of study results, including significant liver
             disease (such as cirrhosis, uncontrolled major seizure disorder, or superior vena cava
             syndrome).

          4. Any history of, or currently active, brain or leptomeningeal metastases.

             not considered a major surgical procedure and is therefore permitted.

          8. Active tuberculosis.

          9. Ongoing systemic bacterial, fungal, or viral infections at Screening.

         10. Positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

             test at screening) or hepatitis C. Patients with past hepatitis B virus (HBV)
             infection or resolved HBV infection (defined as having a negative HBsAg test and a
             positive antibody to hepatitis B core antigen [anti-HBc] antibody test) are eligible.
             Patients positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody are eligible only if polymerase
             chain reaction (PCR) is negative for HCV RNA.

         12. Dependence on continuous supplemental oxygen use.

         13. Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring recurrent

             corrected serum calcium >ULN) or symptomatic hypercalcemia requiring continued use of
             bisphosphonate therapy. Patients who are receiving denosumab must discontinue
             denosumab use and replace it with a bisphosphonate instead while on study. There is no
             required minimum washout period for denosumab. Patients who are receiving
             bisphosphonate therapy specifically to prevent skeletal events and who do not have a
             history of clinically significant hypercalcemia are eligible.

             does not require ongoing treatment, has no evidence of residual active disease, and
             has a negligible risk of recurrence and is therefore unlikely to interfere with the
             primary and secondary endpoints of the study, including response rate and safety.

Time Frame:DOCR will be assessed from screening through month 12 for Cohort A (TNBC) and from screening through month 18 for Cohort B (RCC).
Safety Issue:
Description:DOCR is defined as the time from the first CR to documented disease progression in patients with CR.
Measure:Duration of response (DOR)
Time Frame:DOR will be assessed from screening through month 12 for Cohort A (TNBC) and from screening through month 18 for Cohort B (RCC).
Safety Issue:
Description:DOR is defined as the time from the first objective response (CR or PR) to documented disease progression in patients with CR or PR.
Measure:Progression-free survival (PFS)
Time Frame:PFS will be assessed from screening through month 12 for Cohort A (TNBC) and from screening through month 18 for Cohort B (RCC).
Safety Issue:
Description:PFS is defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment to documented disease progression or death due to any cause.
Measure:Population Pharmacokinetics (PK) of IPI-549
Time Frame:PK assessments will be performed on day 1 of each 28-day cycle through cycle 2 for cohort A (TNBC) at and on day 1 of each 21-day cycle through cycle 2 for cohort B (RCC).
Safety Issue:
Description:Population PK estimates (variability in drug concentrations within the study population measured in ng/mL) includes inter- and intra-subject variability and covariate effects.
Measure:Pharmacokinetics (PK) of Atezolizumab
Time Frame:PK assessments will be performed on day 1 of cycle 1, on day 1 of cycles 2 through 4, C8D1, C16D1 for both cohorts. Cohort A (TNBC) has a 28-day cycle and cohort B (RCC) has a 21-day cycle.
Safety Issue:
Description:Concentration of Atezolizumab in the blood at predose measured in ug/mL.
Measure:Changes from baseline in pulse rate
Time Frame:Pulse rate will be assessed from screening through month 12 for Cohort A (TNBC) and from screening through month 18 for Cohort B (RCC).
Safety Issue:
Description:Pulse rate as measured in beats per minute (bpm).
Measure:Changes from baseline in temperature
Time Frame:Temperature will be assessed from screening through month 12 for Cohort A (TNBC) and from screening through month 18 for Cohort B (RCC).
Safety Issue:
Description:Temperature as measured in celsius.
Measure:Changes from baseline in respiration rate
Time Frame:Respiration rate will be assessed from screening through month 12 for Cohort A (TNBC) and from screening through month 18 for Cohort B (RCC).
Safety Issue:
Description:Respiration rate as measured in breaths per minute.
Measure:Changes from baseline in blood pressure
Time Frame:Blood pressure will be assessed from screening through month 12 for Cohort A (TNBC) and from screening through month 18 for Cohort B (RCC).
Safety Issue:
Description:Systolic and diastolic blood pressure as measured in mmHg.
