Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Neoplasms, Germ Cell and Embryonal
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02533765
Lead Sponsor
Istituto Scientifico Romagnolo per lo Studio e la cura dei Tumori
Brief Summary

This is open-label, single-arm, two-stage phase II trial of olaparib in patients with relapsed/refractory metastatic germ cell cancer. The primary objective is to evaluate the preliminary activity of Olaparib in GCT tumors. The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of Olaparib in patients with cisplatin-refractory GCT.

Detailed Description

This is a proof-of principle open-label, single-arm, two-stage phase II trial of olaparib 300 mg twice daily in patients with relapsed/refractory metastatic germ cell cancer. The study will recruit 10 patients, if no response is seen the study is terminated. If one or more responses are observed, further 19 patients (for a total of 29 patients) will be enrolled. If 4 or more of the first 29 evaluable patients have achieved objective response, further studies in patients with metastatic germ cell cancer are warranted.

The main inclusion criteria are:

* Patient with metastatic gonadal GCT or extragonadal GCT originating from retroperitoneum or mediastinum.

* Disease progression during cisplatin-based chemotherapy or disease progression or relapse after high-dose chemotherapy or disease progression or relapse after at least 2 different cisplatin-based regimens

* At least one measurable lesion that can be accurately assessed by CT/MRI/plain x-ray) at baseline and follow up visits.

The study will be analyzed on an intent-to-treat basis. Secondary parameters will be analyzed exploratively for the intent-to-treat population.

Correlations between with biomarkers (PAR, poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP-1), PTEN, XPA, ERCC1-3, XPF, FanD2, γ-H2AX) expression in paraffin-embedded tumor samples and clinical outcome will be performed in an exploratory intent. Plasma samples will be collected at baseline and at response/progression for possible retrospective biomarkers study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Response Rate (ORR)Up to 30 months

The percentage of patients whose cancer achieve either a partial response or a complete response.Tumor response will be assessed using CT scan or MRI of chest/abdomen using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) and by tumor marker (AFP, betaHCG, LDH) measurements

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of number, type and grade of Adverse EventsUp to 30 months

All patients will be evaluable for toxicity from the time of their first treatment with Olaparib

Overall survival (OS)Up to 30 months

Time from enrolment to the date of death due to any cause. For subjects with no known date of death, survival time will be censored at the date of their last on-study assessment.

exploratory analysis of the association between PFS or OS and biomarkersUp to 30 months

correlation between biomarkers (PAR, PARP-1, PTEN, XPA, ERCC1-3, XPF, FanD2, γ-H2AX) in paraffin-embedded tumor samples and plasma with clinical outcome (response, PFS, OS)

Progression free survival (PFS)Up to 30 months

time from the date of starting of the treatment to the date of the first observation of documented disease progression or death due to any cause. Patients without tumor progression at the time of analysis will be censored at their last date of tumor evaluation.
