Antibody DS-8273a Administered in Combination With Nivolumab in Subjects With Advanced Colorectal Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT02991196
- Lead Sponsor
- Daiichi Sankyo
- Brief Summary
This trial is being performed in two parts: Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion.
The primary objective for the Dose Escalation part is to determine the safety and tolerability at different doses of DS-8273a administered in combination with nivolumab and to identify the dose combination for the Dose Expansion cohort in subjects with mismatch repair (MMR)-proficient advanced colorectal cancer.
The primary objectives for the Dose Expansion part are:
* To further evaluate the safety and tolerability of DS-8273a administered at the selected dose in combination with nivolumab in subjects with MMR-proficient advanced colorectal cancer
* To evaluate preliminary anti-tumor activity of DS-8273a plus nivolumab administered at the selected dose in subjects with MMR-proficient advanced colorectal cancer

Prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, or anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein-4 (CTLA-4) antibody (or any other antibody targeting T-cell co-stimulation pathways).
-
Tested positive for hepatitis B or C serological markers (hepatitis B surface antigen or antibodies to hepatitis C virus) or human immunodeficiency virus.
-
Recipient of vaccines within 1 month of or during study drug treatment.
-
Requires daily supplemental oxygen.
-
Recipient of a stem cell or bone marrow transplant.
-
A concomitant medical condition that would increase the risk of toxicity, in the opinion of the Investigator or Sponsor.
-
Clinically active brain metastases, defined as untreated and symptomatic, or requiring therapy with steroids or anticonvulsants to control associated symptoms.
Subjects with treated brain metastases that are no longer symptomatic and who require no treatment with steroids may be included in the study if they have recovered from the acute toxic effect of radiotherapy. A minimum of 4 weeks must have elapsed between the end of whole brain radiotherapy and study enrollment (2 weeks for stereotactic radiotherapy).
-
Unresolved toxicities from previous anticancer therapy, defined as toxicities (other than alopecia) not yet resolved to Grade ≤ 1 or baseline. Subjects with chronic Grade 2 toxicities may be eligible per the discretion of the Investigator after consultation with the Sponsor Medical Monitor or designee (eg, Grade 2 chemotherapy-induced neuropathy).
-
Systemic treatment with anticancer therapy, antibody-based therapy, retinoid therapy, or hormonal therapy within 3 weeks before study drug treatment; or treatment with nitrosoureas or mitomycin C within 6 weeks before study drug treatment; or treatment with small-molecule targeted agents within 2 weeks, or 5 half-lives before study drug treatment, whichever is longer.
-
Therapeutic radiation therapy or major surgery within 4 weeks before study drug treatment or palliative radiation therapy within 2 weeks before study drug treatment.
-
Participation in a therapeutic clinical study within 3 weeks before study drug treatment (for small-molecule targeted agents, this non-participation period is 2 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer), or current participation in other investigational procedures.
-
Pregnant or breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant.
-
Substance abuse or medical conditions such as clinically significant cardiac or pulmonary diseases or psychological conditions, that may, in the opinion of the Investigator, interfere with the subject's participation in the clinical study or evaluation of the clinical study results.
-
Life expectancy < 3 months, in the opinion of the Investigator.

Group Intervention Description DS-8273a + nivolumab DS-8273a + nivolumab Participants will receive their treatment dose until discontinuation for any reason, or trial completion, within two years
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Dose Escalation Part: Number of Participants with Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT) During the first treatment cycle (28 days) A DLT is defined as a study drug-related ≥ Grade 3 Adverse Event (AE) occurring during the first cycle (28 days) of treatment, with specific exceptions for hematologic events, elevations in hepatic function enzymes, and adverse events that are pre-identified as not being DLTs.
Dose Expansion Part: Disease Control Rate (DCR) for 6 Months 6 months DCR for 6 months defined as the number of subjects with CR, PR, or SD for 6 months divided by the total number of treated subjects with at least 1 post-baseline tumor assessment
Dose Expansion Part: Number of Participants with Progression-Free Survival (PFS) 2 years PFS is defined as survival without disease progression
Dose Expansion Part: Time to Progression (TTP) within 2 years Mean TTP within 2 years
Dose Expansion Part: Duration of Response within 2 years Duration of response for those subjects with a Best Overall Response of CR or PR
Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion Parts: Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Safety Parameters 2 years Safety parameters will include adverse events that are serious (SAEs), treatment emergent (TEAEs), dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), physical examination findings (including Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group \[ECOG\] Performance Status), vital sign measurements, clinical laboratory parameters (serum chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis), immune-related (ir) adverse events (irAEs), anti-drug antibody (ADA), and electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters.
Dose Escalation Part: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) 2 years The MTD is defined as the highest dose of DS-8273a in combination with the tested dose of nivolumab that results in a DLT in less than one-third of the subjects enrolled at that dose level of at least 6 evaluable subjects. However, AEs that meet the definition of DLT appearing at later cycles will also be considered for the determination of MTD and selection of the Dose Expansion dose. If the MTD is not reached at 1200 mg of DS-8273a IV Q2W, this highest tested dose may be selected as the maximum administered dose (MAD).
Dose Expansion Part: Overall Objective Response Rate (per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] Version 1.1) 2 years The overall objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the number of subjects whose Best Overall Response is either a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), divided by the total number of treated subjects with at least one post-baseline tumor assessment.
Dose Expansion Part: Number of Participants in each Category of Best Overall Response (per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] Version 1.1) 2 years Categories: CR, PR, Stable Disease (SD), Progressive Disease (PD)
Dose Escalation Part: Number of Participants with Immune-related Response (per Criteria Modified from RECIST Version 1.1 [irRECIST]) 2 years Criteria include:
* Immune-related (ir) Best Overall Response with response categories of irCR, irPR, irSD, irPD
* Immune-related ORR (irORR) defined as the number of subjects whose Best Overall Response is either an irCR or irPR divided by the total number of treated subjects with at least 1 post-baseline tumor assessment
* Duration of immune-related-response for those subjects with immune-related Best Overall Response of irCR or irPR
* Immune-related DCR (irDCR) for 6 months defined as the number of subjects with irCR, irPR, or irSD for 6 months divided by the total number of treated subjects with at least 1 post-baseline tumor assessment

- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Plasma Concentrations of DS-8273a Before and at the end of the first 3 infusions (Cycle 1 Days 1 and 15, and Cycle 2 Day 1), a single time point on Cycle 1 Day 8, then every 16 weeks on the same days as ADA sample analysis, and at the last Visit (if not collected within prior 16 weeks) The plasma concentrations of DS-8273a may be used to assess the exposure levels and for population pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis, if feasible, but no PK parameters will be calculated from the concentrations collected from this study due to sparse sampling time points.
Number of Participants with Primary Pharmacodynamic (PDy) Effects of the Combination Regimen on Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs) and their Subsets in Peripheral Blood 2 years Subset Categories: Polymorphonuclear (PMN)-type and Monocytic-MDSCs (M-MDSCs)
