Completed

Conditions: Chondrosarcoma
Carney Complex
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor
Paraganglioma

Interventions: Other: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis
Drug: Linsitinib
Other: Pharmacological Study

Registration Number: NCT01560260

Lead Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Brief Summary: This phase II trial studies how well linsitinib works in treating younger and adult patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Linsitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the response rate to treatment with OSI-906 (linsitinib) 150mg BID in patients with advanced wild-type (WT) gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the clinical benefit rate (CBR) (stable disease \[SD\] \>= 9 months, partial response \[PR\], or complete response \[CR\]) in patients with advanced WT GIST treated with OSI-906.

II. To determine the response duration, progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced WT GIST treated with OSI-906.

III. To determine the tolerability and adverse event profile of OSI-906 in patients with advanced GIST.

IV. To explore patterns of protein expression in serum and tumor tissues as predictors of response and progression-free survival (PFS) in advanced WT GIST treated with OSI-906.

V. To evaluate the metabolic response to OSI-906 using fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET).

VI. To determine if tumor metabolic response correlates with anatomic response and clinical benefit.

VII. To measure changes in tumor metabolism by FDG-PET qualitatively and semi-quantitatively with standard uptake value (SUV) and tumor body ratio (TBR) from baseline to first computed tomography (CT)-response evaluation and correlate the findings with size changes as defined by conventional cross-sectional imaging scans.

VIII. To investigate correlations between glucose, insulin, and candidate tumor tissue and blood biomarkers with FDG-PET metabolic response.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive linsitinib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days, every 12 weeks for 2 years, and then annually thereafter.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Participants With Complete Response or Partial Response Using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Guideline Version 1.1	At 6 months	Determine the response rate, Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), to treatment with linsitinib (OSI-906) in patients with advanced wild-type (WT) gastrointestional stromal tumor (GIST) as determined by RECIST 1.1.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Patterns of Protein Expression in Serum and Tumor Tissues as Predictors of Response and PFS	Up to 37 weeks	To explore patterns of protein expression in serum and tumor tissues as predictors of response and progression-free survival in advanced WT GIST treated with OSI-906. All Insulin Growth Factor Receptor (IGFR) and phosphorylated AKT (pAKT) evaluation was performed in a blinded manner. Distribution and intensity of positive tumor cell staining was assessed for these markers. Loss of succinate dehydrogenase complex flavoprotein subunit A (SDHA) protein expression has been correlated with the presence of a mutation in SDHA. Loss of succinate dehydrogenase complex iron sulfur subunit B (SDHB) protein expression occurs from bi-allelic inactivation of any of the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) subunit genes. Loss of expression of one member of the complex alters the structure or production of SDH proteins such that the complex is no longer able to form. This results in elevated intracellular levels of succinate as well as loss of demethylase activity.
Clinical Benefit Rate Defined as Stable Disease (SD) >= 9 Months, Partial Response (PR) or Complete Response (CR)	Up to 2 years	Prolonged non-progression is of clinical benefit (CR + PR + SD at 9 months).
Overall Survival (OS)	Estimates at 9 months	Analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves for the all treated and per protocol populations.
Correlations Between Glucose, Insulin, Tumor Tissue and Blood Biomarkers With FDG-PET Metabolic Response.	Up to 37 weeks	To investigate correlations between glucose, insulin, tumor tissue and blood biomarkers with FDG-PET metabolic response.
Response Duration	Up to 37 weeks	Analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves for the all treated and per protocol populations.
Tolerability and Adverse Event Profile of Linsitinib	Up to 37 weeks	To determine the tolerability and adverse event profile of OSI-906 in patients with advanced GIST.
Number of Participants With Metabolic Response to Linsitinib Using FDG-PET.	Up to 37 weeks	Evaluate the number of participants with metabolic response to OSI-906 using fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET). Evaluation of metabolic response to linsitinib based on two criteria (EORTC and PERCIST).
Progression Free Survival (PFS)	Time from date of enrollment to time of progression or death due to any cause, estimates at 9 months	Analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves for the all treated and per protocol populations.
Failure-free Survival	Up to 37 weeks	Analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves for the all treated and per protocol populations
Changes in Tumor Metabolism by FDG-PET Qualitatively and Semi-quantitatively With Standard Uptake Value (SUV)	Baseline and 8 weeks	To measure changes in tumor metabolism by FDG-PET qualitatively and semi-quantitatively with SUV from baseline to first CT response evaluation and correlate the findings with size changes as defined by conventional cross-sectional imaging scans. SUVmax determined by: SUVmax = \[VOI activity (mCi/ml) \* body wt (g)\]/injected dose (mCi) SUVpeak determined by identifying the hottest cubic centimeter within a VOI centered on the lesion with the highest FDG.
