Clinical Trial Summary

This randomized phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of everolimus, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and cisplatin in treating patients with unresectable solid tumors refractory to standard therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as everolimus, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.


Description:

OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of concurrently administered everolimus and gemcitabine (gemcitabine hydrochloride) in patients with advanced, refractory solid tumors (two-agent MTD).

II. To determine the maximally tolerated dose of concurrently administered everolimus, gemcitabine and cisplatin in patients with advanced, refractory solid tumors (three-agent MTD).

III. To describe the toxicity of the two treatment combinations. IV. To describe any evidence of the antitumor activity of the two treatment combinations.

V. To obtain pilot data on toxicity and efficacy outcome of everolimus, gemcitabine and cisplatin in patients with cholangiocarcinoma or gallbladder carcinoma. (Cohort III)

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of gemcitabine hydrochloride and everolimus.

COHORT I: Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8 and everolimus orally (PO) once daily or 3 times weekly.

COHORT II: Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 8 and everolimus PO once daily or 3 times weekly.

COHORT III: Patients receive treatment as in cohort II.

Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3 months.

- Patients taking strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4

- Uncontrolled brain or leptomeningeal metastases, including patients who continue to require glucocorticoids for brain or leptomeningeal metastases

- Pregnant women

- Nursing women

- Men or women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception

- Other concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, or any ancillary therapy considered investigational (utilized for a non-Food and Drug Administration [FDA]-approved indication and in the context of a research investigation)

- Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimens

- Immunocompromised patients (other than that related to the use of corticosteroids) including patients known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive

- Current active other malignancy, except non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix

- Impairment of gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal disease that may significantly alter the absorption of everolimus (e.g., ulcerative disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome or small bowel resection)

- Severely impaired lung function (i.e., forced expiratory volume in one second [FEV1] < 1 liter)

- Received immunization with attenuated live vaccines =< 7 days prior to study entry or during study period; NOTE: close contact with those who have received attenuated live vaccines should be avoided during treatment with everolimus; examples of live vaccines include intranasal influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, oral polio, BCG, yellow fever, varicella and TY21a typhoid vaccines

- Liver disease such as cirrhosis or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C); Note: A detailed assessment of Hepatitis B/C medical history and risk factors must be done at screening for all patients; hepatitis B virus (HBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing are required at screening for all patients with a positive medical history based on risk factors and/or confirmation of prior HBV/HCV infection

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Adverse events profile Tabulated and summarized in this patient population. The grade 3+ adverse events will also be described and summarized in a similar fashion. Up to 3 months post-treatment Yes
Primary Toxicity profile per National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0 Defined as adverse events that are classified as either possibly, probably, or definitely related to study treatment. Non-hematologic toxicities will be evaluated via the ordinal Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) standard toxicity grading. Overall toxicity incidence as well as toxicity profiles by dose level, patient and tumor site will be explored and summarized. Frequency distributions, graphical techniques and other descriptive measures will form the basis of these analyses. Up to 3 months post-treatment Yes
Primary MTD of the combination of everolimus, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and cisplatin Toxicity assessed by NCI CTCAE v3.0. 3 weeks Yes
Secondary Response profile Best response is defined to be the best objective status recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started). The modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria will be used for tumor evaluation. Responses will be summarized by simple descriptive summary statistics delineating complete and partial responses as well as stable and progressive disease in this patient population (overall and by tumor group). Up to 5 years No
Secondary Timed endpoints The data on time-related variables will be summarized descriptively. These include time until any treatment related toxicity, time until treatment related grade 3+ toxicity, time until hematologic nadirs (white blood cells [WBC], ANC, platelets), time to progression and time to treatment failure, where time to treatment failure is defined as the time from registration to documentation of progression, unacceptable toxicity, or refusal to continue participation by the patient. Up to 5 years Yes
