Clinical Trial Summary

An open-label, non-randomized, two-stage, multicenter study evaluating clinical efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of PQR309 in patients with relapsed or refractory Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL).

Description:

An open-label, non-randomized, two-stage, multicenter study evaluating clinical efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics effects of PQR309 in patients with relapsed or refractory Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL).

The first stage of the study will enroll a minimum of 12 patients with relapsed or refractory Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL) evaluable for the primary study objective. If during the first stage of the study data emerge that 80 mg p.o. qd is not adequately tolerated or is inefficacious in patients with relapsed or refractory Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL), additional patients may be enrolled in the study to evaluate alternative dosing regimens, either a lower daily dose (eg. 60 mg) or a lower weekly dose with administration on 2 consecutive days followed by 5 days without treatment in 7-day treatment cycles (intermittent dosing schedule A).In all cases data from at least 12 evaluable patients will be required on the selected dosing regimen (daily or weekly) before the decision is made to proceed with this regimen into the second stage of the study.Nine (9) additional patients will be enrolled for the second stage of the study, for a minimum of 21 patients on the selected dosing regimen in total, evaluable for the final primary endpoint analysis.All patients evaluable for the primary endpoint will be followed until disease progression or death.

Secondary objectives, PQR309 treatment safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) will be evaluated in all enrolled patients in both study stages.

3. Previous whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT)

4. Other concomitant anti-tumor therapy as determined by the study team.

5. Patients unable to undergo contrast-enhanced MRI.

6. Prior treatment with a phosphoinositide -3 kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, Protein Kinase B Inhibitor is known as AKT inhibitor, or mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor.

7. Patient taking enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drug (EIAED) < 7 days of the first dose of PQR309.

8. Patient is taking a drug with a risk to promote QT prolongation and Torsades de Pointes.

9. Patient is currently using herbal preparations or medications. Patient should stop using herbal medications 7 days prior to the first dose of the study drug.

10. Medically documented history of or active major depressive episode, bipolar disorder (I or II), obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, a history of suicidal attempt or ideation, or homicidal ideation (e.g. risk of doing harm to self or others), or patients with active severe personality disorders.

11. Anxiety = Common Terminology Criteria (CTC) of adverse events (AE) grade 3.

12. Patient has an uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, HIV infection, chronic liver disease.

chronic renal disease, pancreatitis, chronic pulmonary disease, active cardiac disease or cardiac dysfunction, interstitial lung disease, active autoimmune disease, uncontrolled diabetes, neuropsychiatric or social situations that would limit compliance with the study requirements.

Patients may be enrolled in the study after a washout period sufficient to terminate their effect.

15. Patient has a history of invasive malignancy other than Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL). Patients are eligible, if they are disease-free for at least 3 years and deemed to be at low risk for recurrence by the investigator. Patients diagnosed with cervical cancer in situ, basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and treated within the past 3 years are eligible.
