Dovitinib Plus Docetaxel in Gastric Cancer

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Gastric Cancer
• Interventions: Drug: Dovitinib and docetaxel

• Registration Number: NCT01921673
• Lead Sponsor: Asan Medical Center

Brief Summary

Docetaxel is currently one of standard second-line therapy in patients with gastric cancer. As angiogenesis and FGFR pathway has been suggested to be associated with gastric cancer, dovitinib, dual VEGFR and FGFR inhibitor, may have the potential to improve the outcomes of patients with gastric cancer. Therefore, we investigated the combination regimen of docetaxel and dovitinib.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Pathologically proven metastatic or unresectable adenocarcinoma of stomach or gastroesophageal junction
2. Patients with progressive disease (radiological confirmation required) after one line of chemotherapy except taxane for advanced gastric cancer in palliative setting
3. Presence of at least one evaluable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1
4. Age of 18 to 74 years
5. Estimated life expectancy of more than 3 months
6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0~2
7. Adequate bone marrow function (Absolute neutrophil counts ≥ 1,500/uL, hemoglobin ≥ 8.0g/dL, and platelet ≥ 100,000/uL)
8. Adequate renal function (creatinine < 1.5mg/dL)
9. Adequate hepatic function (total bilirubin < 1.5 mg/dL, transaminase < 3 times the upper normal limit [5 times for patients with liver metastasis])
10. No prior anti-angiogenic therapy (anti-VEGF or VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor etc) or FGF/FGFR inhibitor
11. No prior radiation therapy within 4 weeks of the study (Irradiated lesions should not be included in the evaluable lesions.)
12. Written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

1. Past or concurrent history of neoplasm other than gastric adenocarcinoma, except for curatively treated non-melanoma skin cancer or in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri
2. Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to study treatment start
3. Bowel obstruction
4. Evidence of serious gastrointestinal bleeding
5. Presence of central nervous system (CNS) metastasis
6. History of significant neurologic or psychiatric disorders
7. Significant cardiac disease within 6 months of the study (congestive heart failure uncontrollable by medication, symptomatic coronary heart disease, or arrhythmia, myocardial infarction)
8. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) assessed by 2-D echocardiogram (ECHO) or multiple gated acquisition scan (MUGA), < 45%
9. Uncontrolled hypertension defined by a SBP ≥ 160 mm Hg and/or DBP ≥ 100 mm Hg, with or without anti-hypertensive medication. Initiation or adjustment of antihypertensive medication (s) is allowed prior to study entry.
10. QTc > 480 msec on screening ECG
11. Proteinuria defined by NCI CTCAE grade > 1 at baseline as measured by a urine dipstick (2+ or greater) and confirmed by a 24 hour urine collection ( > 1g/24hrs). Subjects may be re-screened if blood pressure is shown to be controlled with or without intervention
12. History of thrombotic or bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy
13. Serious non-healing wound, peptic ulcer, or bone fracture
14. Abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess within 6 months
15. Pregnant or lactating women, women of childbearing potential not employing adequate contraception

Study & Design

• Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Design: SINGLE_GROUP

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Dovitinib plus docetaxel	Dovitinib and docetaxel	In phase I portion of the study Docetaxel 45-75 mg/m2, intravenous, every 3 weeks Dovitinib 200-500 mg, oral, 5 days on/2 days off In phase II portion of the study Recommended dose of docetaxel and dovitinib in phase I portion will be used.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Progression-free survival	2 year	Progression-free survival is defined as the time from the first treatment to the onset of progressive disease or to the date of death whichever comes first.
Maximum tolerated dose	6 months	If dose limiting toxicities are experienced in two or more out of six patients in the cohort (more than 33% of patient cohort), that dose will be defined as the maximum tolerated dose.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Response rate	2 year	Proportion of patients with complete and partial response according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1
Toxicity	2 years	Adverse events caused by study drugs according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0
Overall survival	2 years	Time from start of study treatment to any cause of death
Biomarker	Baseline and 2 weeks after study treatment	FGFR2 copy number will be evaluated in blood and tumor tissue. Treatment efficacy including overall response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival will be compared according to FGFR2 copy number determined by both FISH and real time PCR using TaqMan probe.
