Study to Compare Tivozanib in Combination With Nivolumab to Tivozanib Monotherapy in Subjects With Renal Cell Carcinoma

Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Renal Cell Carcinoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04987203
Lead Sponsor
AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Brief Summary

This study will be comparing tivozanib in combination with nivolumab to tivozanib alone in subjects with advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) who have had 1 or 2 prior lines of therapy, one of which was an Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI).

Detailed Description

This will be an open-label, randomized, controlled, multicenter, multi-national, parallel-arm study. The study is designed to compare the progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), Objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), and safety of tivozanib and the combination of tivozanib with nivolumab.

Approximately 326 subjects with refractory advanced RCC at approximately 190 sites will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to treatment with tivozanib plus nivolumab (163 subjects) or tivozanib (163 subjects). Subjects will be randomly assigned to a treatment.

Subjects will receive 1.34 mg/day (monotherapy arm) or 0.89mg/day (combination arm) of tivozanib once daily (QD) for 3 weeks followed by 1 week off study drug. One cycle will be defined as 4 weeks: 3 weeks on treatment and 1 week off treatment. Subjects who receive nivolumab will be infused with 1 treatment of nivolumab at specified dose on specified days of each Cycle.

Subjects with documented stable disease or an objective response may continue to receive both tivozanib and nivolumab therapy at the same dose and schedule until progression as long as the tolerability is acceptable. Nivolumab will be discontinued in all subjects after 2 years; Tivozanib may be continued after discontinuation of nivolumab until other withdrawal criteria are met. A Safety Follow-up Visit will be performed 30 days (± 7 days) after the last dose of study drug.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Radiographic disease progression during or following at least 6 weeks of treatment with ICI for locally advanced or metastatic RCC with a clear cell component either in first- or second-line treatment.
  • Subjects must have recovered from the adverse events of prior therapy to grade ≤ 1 or baseline.
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed RCC with a clear cell component.
  • Measurable disease per RECIST criteria Version 1.1.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Subjects who received: a. A single agent tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in the first line setting followed by a single agent immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) in the second line setting; b. More than 2 prior lines of therapy in the advanced or metastatic setting.
  • History of life-threatening toxicity related to prior immune therapy.
  • Active autoimmune disease as well as those that required discontinuation of prior immuno-oncological (IO) therapy due to immune mediated AEs.
  • Uncontrolled hypertension.
  • More than 1 prior line of therapy with a checkpoint inhibitor in the metastatic setting.
  • Subjects on immune suppressive therapy for organ transplant or subjects with a history of genetic or acquired immune suppression disease such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) [Patients with HIV who have CD4+ T-cell counts >350 cells/µL, without a history of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining opportunistic infections, and are on established antiretroviral therapy which does not include a cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 inducer, for at least 4 weeks and have an HIV viral load less than 400 copies/mL, are eligible].

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression free survivalUntil progressive disease [PD] (Approximately 30 months)

Comparison of the PFS of tivozanib in combination with nivolumab to tivozanib in subjects with RCC who have progressed following 1 or 2 lines of therapy. PFS is defined as the time from randomization to first documentation of objective tumor progression (progressive disease \[PD\], radiological) according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST), or death due to any reasons whichever comes first.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of subjects with serious and non-serious adverse eventsFrom Screening (Day -28 to Day -1) to Follow-up visit (30 days after last dose of study drug ± 7 days)

Assessment of the safety and tolerability of tivozanib in combination with nivolumab compared to tivozanib.

Overall SurvivalFrom Screening (Days -28 to -1) until death (Approximately 42 months)

Comparsion of the OS of subjects randomized to treatment with tivozanib in combination with nivolumab compared to tivozanib. OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to date of death due to any cause.

Progression free survivalUntil progressive disease [PD] (Approximately 30 months)

PFS is defined as the time from randomization to first documentation of objective tumor progression (progressive disease \[PD\], radiological) according to RECIST, or death due to any reasons whichever comes first. PFS as assessed by investigator.

Duration of ResponseFrom Screening (Days -28 to -1) until PD or death (Approximately 30 months)

Comparison of DoR of subjects randomized to treatment with tivozanib in combination with nivolumab compared to tivozanib. DoR is defined as the time from the first documentation of objective tumor response to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause.

Objective Response RateFrom Screening (Days -28 to -1) until PD (Approximately 30 months)

Comparison of ORR of subjects randomized to treatment with tivozanib in combination with nivolumab compared to tivozanib. ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects with confirmed complete response or confirmed partial response according to RECIST relative to the total population of randomized subjects.
