Trial Outcomes & Findings for Aurora A Kinase Inhibitor MLN8237 in Treating Patients With Unresectable Stage III-IV Melanoma (NCT NCT01316692)

NCT ID: NCT01316692

Last Updated: 2016-05-30

Results Overview

If 2 or more of 23 pts show CR/PR in stage 1, then an additional 33 pts will be enrolled in stage 2. If 6 or more of the total 56 pts show CR/PR at 18 weeks, then further clinical trials will be warranted. Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST)1.1: Complete response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response (PR): \>=30% decrease in sum of LD of target lesion(s), taking as reference baseline sum LD. Patients are categorized according to the best response achieved prior to occurrence of progressive disease, where best response hierarchy is CR\>PR\>SD\>PD.

Participant Flow

Participants on this study were treated at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. The study was conducted from October 2011- August 2015

A total of 19 patients consented to participate in this study. Four of 19 patients were screen failures and therefore were not eligible, 3 patients were eligible, but withdrew before treatment.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At 18 weeks

Population: All patients with Objective Response, defined as a complete or partial response.

If 2 or more of 23 pts show CR/PR in stage 1, then an additional 33 pts will be enrolled in stage 2. If 6 or more of the total 56 pts show CR/PR at 18 weeks, then further clinical trials will be warranted. Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST)1.1: Complete response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response (PR): \>=30% decrease in sum of LD of target lesion(s), taking as reference baseline sum LD. Patients are categorized according to the best response achieved prior to occurrence of progressive disease, where best response hierarchy is CR\>PR\>SD\>PD.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: On treatment date to last follow-up, disease progression or death for any reason, up to 5 years

Population: All patients are included in the analysis on intention-to treat basis. Analysis is by Kaplan-Meier method, where death is an event, with censoring for non-expired patients at greater of off-study date or last known alive date.

Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the duration in time from start of therapy to last follow-up, disease progression, or death for any reason.measured every 6 weeks for 24 weeks, and then every 12 weeks or to last date known alive or death, determined every 6 months for up to 5 years. For those who are alive and without progression, they are censored at the last date known alive.

Timeframe: at 18 weeks

Population: total numbers of adverse events, patients experiencing grade 3 and 4 related to study treatment

Event are graded using National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria with grade 1 = mild, grade 2 = moderate, grade 3 = severe, grade 4 = life-threatening/disabling, 5 = death. toxicities measured on day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Treatment continues to disease progression, toxicity, or withdrawal for other reasons.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: At 24 weeks

Population: Collected samples of tumors were very limited. It did not allow us to perform the described assays

In stage 1 patients: tumor biopsies are taken before initiation of treatment and on the 8th day of the first cycle of treatment. Tissue will be assayed for mutations that are neither parent-possessed, nor able to be transmitted, in pre- and in post-treatment tissue and the results will be compared and contrasted with patients' objective clinical responses, as determined by RECIST 1.1, after 18 weeks of treatment

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: At 24 weeks

Population: unable to collected the required number of tumor samples

In stage 2 patients: tumor biopsies are taken before initiation of treatment and on the 8th day of the first cycle of treatment. Post-treatment tumor tissue will be assayed for MLN8237-induced selective Aurora Kinase A inhibition and compared to pre-treatment tumor tissue and the results will be compared and contrasted with patients' objective clinical responses, as determined by RECIST 1.1, after 18 weeks of treatment
