Solid Tumor Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Phase I/II Trial of Crolibulin (EPC2407) Plus Cisplatin in Adults With Solid Tumors With a Focus on Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer (ATC)
Background:
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is one of the most aggressive of all solid tumors;
chemotherapy and surgery have had no impact on local control or survival of patients, with a
median survival of 3-7 months.
Crolibulin (EPC2407) is a microtubulin inhibitor that has been shown to have direct
antitumor effects in vivo and in vitro, destabilizing spindles and inducing apoptosis,
resulting in the disruption of neovascular endothelial cells with disruption of blood flow
to the tumor. Early clinical studies with combretastatin, from which crolibulin is derived,
demonstrated efficacy in a subset of patients with ATC.
Objectives:
The primary objective in the Phase I portion is to assess the safety and tolerability of
cisplatin and crolibulin given in a 21-day cycle in dose-seeking cohorts.
We will assess the toxicities of crolibulin coadministered with cisplatin, evaluate
dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for the
combination.
The primary objective in the Phase II portion is to compare the combination crolibulin plus
cisplatin versus cisplatin alone in adults with ATC by assessing the duration of
progression-free survival (PFS); comparison of the response rates as evaluated by Response
Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) will be an important secondary objective.
We plan on biochemical and immunohistochemical analysis of several tumor parameters
including mitotic index, expression of several proteins including epidermal growth factor
receptor (EGFR), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), BRAF, excision repair
cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) and tumor protein p53 (TP53). Where sufficient tissue
is available we will also perform gene expression analysis, micro ribonucleic acid
(microRNA) array analysis, and compare these with 3-deoxy-3 -[(18)F] fluorothymidine
(FLT)-positron emission tomography (PET) and tumor growth rate constant.
Eligibility:
Phase I: adults age 18 and older with unresectable, recurrent or metastatic solid tumors.
Phase II: adults age 18 and older with anaplastic thyroid cancer.
In the phase II portion disease must be evaluable by RECIST.
All patients must have adequate hepatic, renal, and bone marrow function.
Design:
The Phase I component consists of dose-escalation cohorts of three to six patients, in which
all patients receive both the study drug crolibulin with cisplatin. The MTD and DLT will be
determined based on toxicities during the first three weeks of combined therapy.
The Phase II component will be a randomization study, to either crolibulin with cisplatin or
cisplatin monotherapy. Patients randomized to cisplatin alone will have the opportunity the
opportunity to cross over to the crolibulin arm in the event of tumor progression.
Drug administration will take place on days 1, 2, and 3 for crolibulin, and on day 1 for
cisplatin, on a 21-day cycle.
Maximum number of patients for planned enrollment is 70. During the Phase I portion of the
study, dose-seeking cohorts of three to six patients will be enrolled until MTD / DLT is
reached for a maximum of three dose cohorts [up to 24 patients if one assumes an expansion
cohort to twelve patients at the recommended phase 2 (RP2) dose]. During the randomized
Phase II trial comparing the activity of the combination of crolibulin plus cisplatin with
cisplatin alone it is estimated that a maximum of 40 patients will be enrolled [1:1
randomization 20 + 20 = 40 patients], and we will allow for 6 extra patients to be enrolled
to compensate for a small number of non-evaluable patients.

In cases where the serum calcium is below the normal range, the calcium adjusted for albumin is calculated and substituted for the measured value. - Serum potassium greater than the lower limit of normal (LLN) and < 5.5 mmol/L. - Serum magnesium greater than the LLN and < 3.0 mg/dL or 1.23 mmol/L. - absolute neutrophil count greater than or equal to 1000/mm(3) - platelet count (Bullet) 100,000/m m(3) - Prothrombin time (PT) less than or equal to 4 seconds above ULN and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) less than or equal to 10 seconds above ULN. Ability to understand and sign an informed consent document. Provision of informed consent prior to any study-related procedures Negative pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential Ability and willingness to follow the guidelines of the clinical protocol including visits to NCI, Bethesda, Maryland for treatment and follow up visits. Because the effects of chemotherapy on the developing human fetus are potentially harmful, female patients must be one year post-menopausal, surgically sterile, or using an acceptable method of contraception during and continued after the last dose of study medications (oral contraceptives, barrier methods, approved contraceptive implant, long-term injectable contraception, intrauterine device or tubal ligation). Male patients must be surgically sterile or using an acceptable method of contraception during their participation in this study. Contraceptive use will continue for at least two months after the last dose of study medication. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Patients with cancer potentially curable by surgical excision alone or patients who have not received therapy that might be considered standard and potentially curable. Evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic disease or any concurrent condition including, but not limited to symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, unstable hypertension, seizure disorder, or psychiatric illness which in the Investigators opinion makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial or which would jeopardize compliance with the protocol. Untreated brain metastases (or local treatment of brain metastases within the last three months) due to the poor prognosis of these patients and difficulty ascertaining the cause of neurologic toxicities. During Phase II enrollment: Prior therapy with cisplatin. (Cisplatin will be allowed as prior therapy during Phase I enrollment.) Women who are currently pregnant or breast-feeding, due to the possible adverse effects on the developing fetus and infant. During Phase II enrollment: The presence of a second malignancy within the last 2 years, other than squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ cervical cancer because it will complicate the primary objective of the study.

Patients with evidence of a bleeding diathesis that cannot be corrected with standard therapy or factor replacement. Any unresolved toxicity greater than CTCAE grade 1 (except alopecia, and certain other unresolved CTCAE Grade 2 toxicities including bone marrow hypocellularity, lymphopenia, infusion-related reaction, infusion site extravasation, injection site reaction, portal vein hypertension, obesity) from previous anti-cancer therapy. Patients with grade 1 neuropathy will be evaluated on a case by case basis for entry into study. Pre-chemotherapy medical conditions will be taken into consideration. Major surgery with incompletely healed surgical incision before starting study therapy. Clinically significant cardiovascular event (e.g. myocardial infarction, superior vena cava syndrome (SVC), New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification of heart disease greater than or equal to 2 (see Appendix C) within 3 months before entry; or presence of cardiac disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator, increases the risk of ventricular arrhythmia. History of arrhythmia (multifocal premature ventricular contractions PVCs), bigeminy, trigeminy, ventricular tachycardia, or uncontrolled atrial fibrillation) which is symptomatic or requires treatment (CTCAE grade 3) or asymptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia. Atrial fibrillation, controlled on medication is not excluded. Patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction less than the institutional lower limit of normal. History (within the last 6 months) or presence of stroke/cerebrovascular accident. Corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation with other medications. If the medication can be discontinued and an alternative medication started that does not cause QTc prolongation, the patient would be eligible. If no alternative medication is available and the medication can not be discontinued for medical reasons, then the patient would not be eligible.

QTc with Bazett's correction that is not measurable, or greater than or equal to 480 msec on screening electrocardiogram (ECG). (Note: If a patient has a QTc interval greater than or equal to 480 msec on screening ECG, the screen ECG may be repeated twice (at least 24 hours apart). The average QTc from the three screening ECGs must be < 480 msec in order for the patient to be eligible for the study). Patients who are receiving a drug that has a risk of QTc prolongation (see Appendix C of the protocol) are excluded if QTc is greater than or equal to 460 msec. Concurrent medication that may cause QTc prolongation or induce Torsades de Pointes: Those medications in Group One of Appendix C of the protocol will not be allowed. Those medications in Group Two of Appendix C of the protocol will be allowed. Crolibulin is a substrate of cytochrome P450 2C8 (CYP2C8), P450 2C9(CYP2C9), P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) and P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). Strong inducers and inhibitors of these enzymes will constitute concomitant medications that are prohibited during the study (See protocol for the complete list).
