Clinical Trial Summary

Protocol PEN-221-001 is an open-label, multicenter Phase 1/2a study evaluating PEN-221 in patients with SSTR2 expressing advanced gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) or lung or thymus or other neuroendocrine tumors or small cell lung cancer or large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung.


Description:

Protocol PEN-221-001 will first enroll patients into a dose escalation phase, where a Bayesian logistic regression model, guided by the escalation with overdose control principle and overseen by a safety review committee, will be used to make dose recommendations and estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Once the MTD has been confirmed, remaining patients will be enrolled into a full expansion phase to assess PEN-221 efficacy in patients with gastrointestinal mid-gut neuroendocrine tumors or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors or small cell lung cancer.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose of PEN-221 and Recommended Phase 2a Dose (RP2D) MTD was determined by testing increasing doses up to 25 mg flat dose IV over 1 hour on an every 3 week cycle on dose escalation cohorts 1 to 7 with 2 participants in cohort 1 and 3-6 participants each in cohorts 2-7. The MTD was defined as the highest drug dosage not causing a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) in > 33% of the treated participants during the first cycle of treatment. DLTs were defined as any Grade 3 or 4 adverse event (AE) using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.03 occurring within the first 4 weeks for cohort 1 and within 3 weeks for each subsequent cohort that was not related to underlying disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications. The RP2D was established by achieving the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). The RP2D may be equal to or below the MTD. Up to 4 weeks in the first cohort and up to 3 weeks for each subsequent cohort
Primary Phase 1: Number of Participants Who Experienced Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) DLTs were defined as any Grade 3 or 4 adverse event (AE) using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.03 occurring within the first 4 weeks for cohort 1 and within 3 weeks for each subsequent cohort that was not related to underlying disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications. Grade 3 is a severe AE and Grade 4 is a life-threatening or disabling AE. DLTs were collected to determine the Maximum-Tolerated Dose (MTD), which is defined as the dose level below the dose at which > 33% of participants experienced a DLT during the first cycle of treatment. Up to 4 weeks in the first cohort and up to 3 weeks for each subsequent cohort

Primary Phase 2a: Duration of Response (DOR) for Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) Duration of Response (DOR) is defined as the time from the first documented response (CR or PR), as assessed by the investigator, to the date of first documented disease progression or death due to underlying cancer. If patient did not progress or die before the data cutoff date (31-July-2020), DOR was censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment. From the date of first treatment through the date of first documented progression, assessed up to data cut-off (31 Jul 2020).
Secondary Number of Study Participants Who Experienced Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events Phase 1 and Phase 2a participants who experienced any Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) to determine the safety and tolerability of PEN-221. TEAEs are any AE that occurred after first dose of study drug through 28 days after the last dose of study drug, any event considered study drug related regardless of start date of the event, or any event that was present at baseline but worsened in intensity or was subsequently considered study drug related by the Investigator. Phase 2a TEAEs were collected for reporting in the BSA dosing format only. From date of first treatment/trial entry until 28 days after last treatment for each participant, up to data cut-off (31 Jul 2020).
Secondary Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of PEN-221, DM1, and Peptide Blood samples were obtained and plasma concentrations were determined using validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods. Phase 2a data were collected for reporting in the BSA dosing format only. Phase 1: Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 3 pre-start of infusion (SOI), at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 hours post-start of infusion.
