Study of Topical SOR007 Ointment for Cutaneous Metastases

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Cutaneous Metastasis
• Interventions: Drug: SOR007 (Uncoated Nanoparticle Paclitaxel) Ointment

• Registration Number: NCT03101358
• Lead Sponsor: NanOlogy, LLC

Brief Summary

This study evaluates a topical nanoparticle paclitaxel ointment (SOR007) for the treatment of cutaneous metastases from non-melanoma cancer in adults. Three concentrations of SOR007 will be evaluated in dose-rising cohorts of three. An expanded cohort will treat additional subjects at the maximum tolerated dose.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, dose-rising study evaluating the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of three concentrations of SOR007 (Uncoated Nanoparticle Paclitaxel) Ointment (0.15%, 1.0%, and 2.0%) applied to non-melanoma cutaneous metastases. A treatment area of 50 cm2 will be selected by the Investigator. Using a gloved hand, subjects will apply one Finger Tip Unit (FTU) of SOR007 to the 50 cm2 treatment area twice daily at approximately the same time each day for 28 days, with the option of extending treatment an additional 28 days to total 56 days for subjects in the dose expansion phase. At each visit (Days 1, 8, 15, 29, and 43 for 28 treatment days; Days 8, 15, 29, 57, and 70 for 56 treatment days), at least two global and two close-up color photographs of the treatment area will be taken (with a ruler for scale). The photographs will be analyzed with ImageJ. Eligible lesions will be determined at baseline by the RECIST definition of measurable tumors (≥ 10mm in its longest diameter). The study will include a dose escalation phase and a dose expansion phase.

In the dose escalation phase, formal safety reviews will be conducted after the last subject in each cohort of three subjects completes 15 days of treatment. The next dose level will enroll upon a finding of safety and tolerability. The top dose or the maximum tolerated dose (if DLT occurs) will be taken into the dose expansion phase and additional subjects will be enrolled to reach a maximum of 16 subjects at that dose.

6. At least one baseline eligible lesion. Per RECIST criteria (version 1.1), an eligible lesion at baseline is considered measurable when ≥ 10mm diameter in the longest diameter;

7. Willing to refrain from using lotions, creams, etc. during the treatment period;

8. Subjects with adequate organ and bone marrow function as defined below:

   • ANC ≥ 1,500/µl
   • Hemoglobin ≥ 9.5 grams/dL
   • Platelets ≥ 75,000/µl
   • AST (aspartate transaminase or SGOT)/ALT (alanine aminotransferase or SGPT) ≤ 3.0 x ULN and total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 x ULN with no evidence of cholestasis
   • Creatinine ≤ 1.5x ULN;

9. Last dose of any systemic non-taxane cytotoxic chemotherapy completed at least one day prior to Day 1. Last dose of any systemic taxane cytotoxic chemotherapy completed at least 4 weeks prior to Day 1

10. Willing to use appropriate birth control for patients of child-bearing potential;

11. Abstinence from all manner of physical contact near the treatment area during and up to 2 weeks after the treatment phase.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Open or ulcerated wound(s) extending through the dermis within the treatment area;
2. Colorectal, hepatocellular, gallbladder, cholangiocarcinoma, neuroendocrine, melanomas, hematological and central nervous system (CNS) malignancies;
3. Active viral hepatitis A, B, or C or preexisting or acute liver disease;

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
SOR007 1.0%	SOR007 (Uncoated Nanoparticle Paclitaxel) Ointment	1.0% SOR007 (Uncoated Nanoparticle Paclitaxel) Ointment applied topically twice daily for 28 days
SOR007 2.0%	SOR007 (Uncoated Nanoparticle Paclitaxel) Ointment	2.0% SOR007 (Uncoated Nanoparticle Paclitaxel) Ointment applied topically twice daily for 28 days or up to 56 days
SOR007 0.15%	SOR007 (Uncoated Nanoparticle Paclitaxel) Ointment	0.15% SOR007 (Uncoated Nanoparticle Paclitaxel) Ointment applied topically twice daily for 28 days

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events	Baseline through Day 59 (for 28 days of treatment) or Day 86 (for 56 days of treatment)	Treatment emergent adverse events will include all reported adverse events, laboratory assessments, physical examination findings, and vital signs.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in Pain at the Treatment Area	Baseline and Day 43 (for 28 days of treatment) or Day 70 (for 56 days of treatment)	Change in pain at the treatment area will be measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11). The numerical scale ranges from 0 to 10, with 0 being "no pain" and 10 being "the worst pain imaginable." A lower score equates to less severe pain (better outcome) and a higher score equates to more severe pain (worse outcome).
Objective Tumor Response (OTR)	Baseline and Day 43 (for 28 days of treatment) or Day 70 (for 56 days of treatment)	Objective Tumor Response (OTR), defined as the difference in the lesion size within the treatment area between baseline and 14 days after the last dose in the dose group i.e. Day 43 for dose escalation Subjects, and dose expansion Group A Subjects; Day 70 for dose expansion Group B Subjects; or between baseline and last tumor assessment for early terminators. Four OTRs are calculated based on different definitions of "lesion size": 1) Area of the primary eligible lesion, 2) Sum of area of all eligible lesions, 3) Longest diameter of the primary eligible lesion, and 4) Sum of longest diameter of all eligible lesions.
Objective Clinical Response	Baseline and Day 43 (for 28 days of treatment) or Day 70 (for 56 days of treatment)	Objective Clinical Response (Complete Clinical Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR)) is defined as the percentage of study subjects who achieve complete clinical response or partial response 14 days after last treatment (Day 43 or Day 70).; Complete clinical response (CR) is defined as absence of any detectable residual disease in the treatment area; partial response (PR) as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of eligible lesion(s) within the treatment area compared to baseline; progressive disease (PD) as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of eligible lesion(s) within the treatment area, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm); and stable disease (SD) as between that defined as PR or PD. Eligible lesions will be determined at baseline by the RECIST definition of measurable tumors (≥ 10mm in its longest diameter).
