NCT01436656
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer
Brief Summary

CLGX818X2101 is a first-time in-human, phase I study to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of daily administered LGX818 (daily, twice daily and/or every-other-day), a RAF kinase inhibitor. Patients with locally advanced or metastatic melanoma harboring the BRAF V600 mutation (during dose escalation phase and expansion phase) and patients with metastatic colorectal cancer harboring the BRAF V600 mutation (during the expansion phase) will be enrolled. The study consists of a dose escalation part were cohorts of patients will receive escalating oral doses of LGX818, followed by a safety dose expansion part were patients will be treated with oral dose of LGX818 given at the MTD or RP2D.

An AE was defined as the appearance of (or worsening of any pre-existing) undesirable signs, symptoms, or medical conditions. An SAE was defined as one of the following: fatal or life-threatening; resulted in significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect; was medically significant; required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization unless for routine treatment, elective or pre-planned treatment for a pre-existing condition, treatment on an emergency outpatient basis, social reasons and respite care in the absence of any deterioration in the participants general condition, any SAEs that were expected due to the condition being treated.

Number of Participants With AEs and SAEs During Dose Expansion PhaseFrom start of study treatment until 30 days after last dose of study treatment (maximum of 257.3 weeks and 114.6 weeks of treatment exposure for melanoma participants and mCRC participants respectively)

An AE was defined as the appearance of (or worsening of any pre-existing) undesirable signs, symptoms, or medical conditions. An SAE was defined as one of the following: fatal or life-threatening; resulted in significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect; was medically significant; required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization unless for routine treatment, elective or pre-planned treatment for a pre-existing condition, treatment on an emergency outpatient basis, social reasons and respite care in the absence of any deterioration in the participants general condition, any SAEs that were expected due to the condition being treated.

Progression Free Survival (PFS): Dose Escalation PhaseFrom start of study treatment until first documentation of PD or death due to any cause or censoring date (maximum of 556.1 weeks of treatment exposure)

PFS was defined as time from date of first study treatment intake to date of first documented disease progression (PD) or death due to any cause. If a participant did not have an event, data censoring was done at the date of last adequate tumor assessment. PD was defined for target disease as at least a 20% increase in sum of longest diameters of all measured target lesions, taking as reference smallest sum on study (this included baseline sum if that was smallest on study), sum also demonstrated absolute increase of greater than or equal to (\>=) 5 mm, or appearance of \>=1 new lesions. For non-target disease: PD was defined as unequivocal progression of pre-existing lesions and if overall tumor burden increased sufficiently to merit discontinuation of therapy; appearance of any new unequivocal malignant lesion was also considered PD. Analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method.

DOR was defined as the time from first observation of response CR or partial response \[PR\]) to the first time of progression or death. CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target and non-target lesions, and sustained for at least 4 weeks apart before progression. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to less than (\<) 10 millimeter (mm). PR defined as at least 30 percent (%) decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. For target disease, PD=at least a 20% increase in sum of longest diameters of all measured target lesions, taking as reference smallest sum on study, sum also demonstrated absolute increase of \>= 5 mm, or appearance of \>=1 new lesions. For non-target disease: PD=unequivocal progression of pre-existing lesions and if overall tumor burden increased sufficiently to merit discontinuation of therapy; appearance of any new unequivocal malignant lesion.

Time to Response (TTR): Dose Escalation PhaseFrom date of start of treatment until CR or PR or censoring date (maximum of 556.1 weeks of treatment exposure)

TTR was defined as the time from date of treatment until first documented response (CR or PR). CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target and non-target lesions sustained for at least 4 weeks apart before progression. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) reduced in short axis to \<10 mm. PR was defined as at least 30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Participants who did not achieve a confirmed PR or CR, were censored at last adequate tumor assessment date when they did not progress (including deaths not due to underlying disease) or at maximum follow-up (from study start to study end date) when participant had an event for progression-free survival. Individual participant data have been reported for this outcome measure.
