Overview

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 2, open-label, randomized, 3-arm study to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer treated with intermittent or continuous regimens of relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel compared with patients treated with nab-paclitaxel alone.

Detailed Description

Relacorilant is a small molecule antagonist of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). The goals of this study are to evaluate the efficacy of relacorilant either administered daily (continuous) or on the day prior, the day of, and the day after chemotherapy (intermittent) in combination with nab-paclitaxel in the treatment of platinum-resistant ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancers compared with nab-paclitaxel alone. The safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamic profile of relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel will also be assessed. Eligible patients will be randomized 1:1:1 to one of the following three treatment arms. Patient randomization will be stratified by treatment-free interval from most recent taxane (relapsed within 6 months vs \>6 months) and presence of ascites (yes vs no). * Arm A (Continuous relacorilant): Relacorilant starting at 100 mg, administered orally, once daily every day in combination with nab-paclitaxel on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. * Arm B (Intermittent relacorilant): Relacorilant 150 mg, administered orally, on the day before (excluding Cycle 1, Day -1), the day of, and the day after nab-paclitaxel, in combination with nab-paclitaxel on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. * Arm C (Comparator): Nab-paclitaxel on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Patients will remain on study treatment until reaching a protocol-defined event of disease progression (PD), experiencing unmanageable toxicity, or until other treatment discontinuation criteria are met. All patients will be followed for progression, subsequent therapies, and survival in the long-term follow-up phase. Patients in Arm C who experience unequivocal PD per RECIST v1.1 will be given the opportunity to receive relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel after discussion with the Medical Monitor (Crossover patients).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Signed and dated Investigational Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee-approved informed consent form (ICF) prior to study-specific screening procedures.
  • Female patients aged ≥18 years old at time of consent
  • Histologic diagnosis of high grade serous or endometrioid epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer or ovarian carcinosarcoma. Clear cell, mucinous and borderline histologic subtypes are excluded.
  • Received at least 1 line of therapy with evidence of cancer progression within 6 months after the last dose of platinum-based therapy (ie, having a platinum-free interval of ≤6 months \[platinum resistant\]), or progressive disease during or immediately after primary platinum-therapy, (ie, platinum refractory). Patients with primary platinum resistance (progression within 6 months of the last dose of first-line platinum-containing chemotherapy) are considered eligible.
  • Notes: For the calculation of the platinum-free interval, cancer progression must be defined by clear evidence of progression, such as radiographic progression per RECIST v1.
  • Calculating the platinum-free interval on the basis of increased Cancer Antigen (CA-125) is not allowed.
  • Measurable or non-measurable disease by RECIST v1.1:
  • Previously irradiated lesions are not allowed as measurable disease, unless there is documented evidence of progression in the lesions.
  • To be eligible with non-measurable disease, patients must have evaluable disease with CA 125 at least twice the upper limit of reference range (of CA-125 ≥70 U/mL), along with radiographically evaluable disease by computerized tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
  • Availability and consent to provide tumor tissue for biomarker assays (archival or recent biopsy).

Exclusion Criteria

  • Clinically relevant toxicity from prior systemic anticancer therapies or radiotherapy that in the opinion of the Investigator has not resolved to Grade 1 or less prior to randomization.
  • Any major surgery within 4 weeks prior to randomization. If subject received major surgery including (curative or palliative surgery), they must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting therapy.
  • Treatment with the following prior to randomization:
  • Concurrent treatment with other anticancer therapy including other chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, chemoembolization, targeted therapy, an investigational agent or the non-approved use of a drug or device within 28 days before the first dose of study drug.
  • Hormonal anticancer therapies within 7 days of the first dose of study drug.
  • Systemic, inhaled, or prescription strength topical corticosteroids within 21 days of the first dose of study drug. Short courses (≤5 days) for non-cancer-related reasons are allowed if clinically required (such as prophylaxis for CT).
  • Received radiation to more than 25% of marrow-bearing areas.
  • Toxicities of prior therapies (except alopecia) that have not resolved to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v5.0 ≤Grade
  • Requirement for treatment with chronic or frequently used oral corticosteroids for medical conditions or illnesses (eg, rheumatoid arthritis, immunosuppression after organ transplantation).
  • History of severe hypersensitivity or severe reaction to either study drug.
