Testing of the Anti Cancer Drugs CB-839 HCl (Telaglenastat) and MLN0128 (Sapanisertib) in Advanced Stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

NCT04250545

Description:

This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of CB-839 HCl when given together with sapanisertib in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). CB-839 HCl and sapanisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Purpose

This phase I/Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of CB-839 HCl when given together with sapanisertib in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). CB-839 HCl and sapanisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. To determine the safety and tolerability of glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 hydrochloride
      (CB-839 HCl) (telaglenastat) in combination with MLN0128 (sapanisertib) and determine the
      recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To observe and record anti-tumor activity. II. To examine preliminary efficacy of CB-839
      HCl (telaglenastat) and MLN0128 (sapanisertib) in squamous cell lung cancers (LSCC) and in
      select, molecularly-defined non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cohorts.

      IIa. To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and
      disease control rate (DCR) of patients treated with CB-839 HCl (telaglenastat) and MLN0128
      (sapanisertib).

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To correlate genomic and metabolomic signatures with response. II. To evaluate metabolic
      response (18Glutamine [GLN]-positron emission tomography [PET]/computed tomography [CT];
      18Fluorodeoxyglucose [FDG]-PET/CT) in NSCLC tumors treated with CB-839 HCl (telaglenastat)
      and MLN0128 (sapanisertib) in the dose expansion.

      OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 hydrochloride.

      Patients receive glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 hydrochloride orally (PO) twice daily (BID) and
      sapanisertib PO once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of
      disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up quarterly.

                            contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence)
                            prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation.
                            Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or
                            her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her
                            treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this
                            protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the
                            study, for the duration of study participation, and 4 months after

             eligible

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Patients who have had chemotherapy within 3 weeks or radiotherapy within 2 weeks (6
             weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study

          -  Patients who have not recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy
             (i.e., have residual toxicities > grade 1) with the exception of alopecia

          -  Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents

          -  History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
             composition to CB-839 HCl (telaglenastat) and MLN0128 (sapanisertib)

          -  CB-839 HCl (telaglenastat) is a weak in vitro inhibitor of CYP2C9. Therefore, patients
             receiving any medications or substances that are substrates of CYP2C9 are eligible,
             but should use caution with substrates that have a narrow therapeutic index. Because
             the lists of these agents are constantly changing, it is important to regularly
             consult a frequently-updated medical reference. As part of the enrollment/informed
             consent procedures, the patient will be counseled on the risk of interactions with
             other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the
             patient is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product

          -  Patients with psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with

             agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an
             unknown but potential risk for adverse events (AEs) in nursing infants secondary to
             treatment of the mother with CB-839 HCl (telaglenastat), breastfeeding should be
             discontinued if the mother is treated with CB-839 HCl (telaglenastat). These potential
             risks may also apply to MLN0128 (sapanisertib)

          -  Patients who are unable to swallow tablets

          -  Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients

             disease, or for an unknown reason that may alter the absorption of MLN0128
             (sapanisertib). In addition, patients with enteric stomata are also excluded

          -  Significant active cardiovascular or pulmonary disease including:

               -  Uncontrolled hypertension (i.e., systolic blood pressure > 180 mm Hg, diastolic
                  blood pressure > 95 mm Hg). Use of anti-hypertensive agents to control

                  independent of symptom control with medical intervention, or history of valve
                  replacement

               -  Medically significant (symptomatic) bradycardia

               -  History of arrhythmia requiring an implantable cardiac defibrillator

               -  Baseline prolongation of the rate-corrected QT interval (QTc) (e.g., repeated
                  demonstration of QTc interval > 480 milliseconds, or history of congenital long
                  QT syndrome, or torsades de pointes)

          -  Patients receiving systemic corticosteroids (either IV or oral steroids, excluding
             inhalers or low-dose hormone replacement therapy) within 1 week before administration
             of the first dose of study drugs

          -  Patients who are taking proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) within 7 days of the first dose
             of study drug or who require treatment with PPIs throughout the trial or those who are

          -  Previous treatment with PI3K, AKT, dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitors, TORC1/2 inhibitors or
             TORC1 inhibitors

          -  Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of
             treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac
             function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be
             eligible for this trial, patients should be class 2B or better
