Cardiac Safety Study of Entinostat in Men and Women With Advanced Solid Tumors

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Neoplasms by Histologic Type; Lung Neoplasms; Neoplasms; Neoplasms, Glandular and Epithelial; Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung; Bronchial Neoplasms; Solid Tumors; Respiratory Tract Neoplasms; Endocrine Gland Neoplasms; Lung Diseases
• Interventions: Drug: Placebo; Drug: Entinostat

• Registration Number: NCT02897778
• Lead Sponsor: Syndax Pharmaceuticals

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of entinostat on heart rate and other electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of entinostat, as well as pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters.

Detailed Description

This is a single center, randomized, placebo-controlled, single dosing schedule, double-blinded study to evaluate the effect of entinostat as compared to placebo on the electrical activity of the heart in patients with advanced solid tumors. Thirty patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either entinostat or placebo. Study treatment will be blinded to patients and the Investigator. ECG analysts will be blinded to the patient, visit, and treatment allocation. Patients will be on study up to 30 days following study drug administration. Total study duration is expected to be 9 months. After completing this study and at the discretion of the Investigator, patients may elect to enroll into a separate continuation study (SNDX-275-0141).

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Placebo	Placebo	Participants received a single dose of placebo-matching entinostat under fasted conditions.
Entinostat	Entinostat	Participants received a single oral supratherapeutic dose of 15 mg entinostat under fasted conditions.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change from Baseline in T-Cell Morphology	Baseline (pre-dose) through 24 hours post-dose
Change from Baseline in Electrocardiogram Procedures	Baseline (pre-dose) through 24 hours post-dose	Change from baseline in QT interval corrected for heart rate (Qtc), PR interval (PR) and QRS complex (QRS).
Change from Baseline in Heart Rate (HR)	Baseline (pre-dose) through 24 hours post-dose	Heart rate measured in beats per minute (bpm).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
AUC0-t (Area under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve from Time Zero to the Last Measurable Concentration) of Entinostat when given as a Single Supratherapeutic Dose	Pre-dose and multiple time-points through 24 hours post-dose and 14 days post-dose
Change from Baseline in Vital Signs	Baseline (pre-dose) through 14 days post-dose or 30 day safety follow-up visit (if applicable)	Vital signs included temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and respiration rate
Tmax (Time of Maximum Plasma Concentration) of Entinostat when given as a Single Supratherapeutic Dose	Pre-dose and multiple time-points through 24 hours post-dose and 14 days post-dose
λz (Terminal Elimination Rate Constant) of Entinostat when given as a Single Supratherapeutic Dose	Pre-dose and multiple time-points through 24 hours post-dose and 14 days post-dose
Change from Baseline in ECG Values	Baseline ()pre-dose through 14 days post-dose or 30 day safety follow-up visit (if applicable)	A 12-lead continuous ECG recording (via a Holter) was recorded on Day 1 for 25 hours. Safety ECGs were read and interpreted by the Investigator on-site for the purpose of safety monitoring and were transmitted electronically to the central ECG laboratory for clinical interpretation by a cardiologist
Change from Baseline in QTc	Pre-dose through 24 hours post-dose
Cmax (Maximum Plasma Concentration) of Entinostat when given as a Single Supratherapeutic Dose	Pre-dose and multiple time-points through 24 hours post-dose and 14 days post-dose
AUC0-inf (Area under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve from 0-time Extrapolated to Infinity) of Entinostat when given as a Single Supratherapeutic Dose	Pre-dose and multiple time-points through 24 hours post-dose and 14 days post-dose
Number of Participants with Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAES) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)	First dose through 30 days post-dose or through resolution of acute toxicities (Up to 31 days)	An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A TEAE is an AE that occurs after the first dose of study drug. A SAE is defined as any AE that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or requires intervention to prevent permanent impairment or damage.
Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Laboratory Values Reported as a TEAE	Baseline (pre-dose) through 14 days post-dose or 30 day safety follow-up visit (if applicable)	Standard safety laboratory tests included Chemistry, Hematology. Any hematologic or clinical chemistry abnormality considered by the investigator to be clinically significant was reported as a TEAE.
AUC0-24 (Area under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve from Time Zero to 24 hours) of Entinostat when given as a Single Supratherapeutic Dose	Pre-dose and multiple time-points through 24 hours post-dose and 14 days post-dose
t1/2 (Elimination Half-life and Apparent Plasma Terminal Phase Elimination Rate Constant) of Entinostat when given as a Single Supratherapeutic Dose	Pre-dose and multiple time-points through 24 hours post-dose and 14 days post-dose
