Brief Summary

This study is to find out if INC280 is safe and has beneficial effects in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma known to have dysregulation of c-MET pathway.

Detailed Description

This study was designed as a Phase II, single arm, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of INC280 as first-line treatment in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who were not eligible for or had disease progression after surgical or locoregional therapies, with c-MET dysregulation.

The study included a Dose-Determining Part and a Dose Expansion Part. Pharmacokinetic and safety profiles of INC280 in the setting of liver dysfunction were determined in the Dose-Determining Part. The Dose Expansion Part started when the appropriate dose for patients with liver dysfunction was determined based on pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety data from the Dose-Determining Part and other INC280 clinical studies. The initial dose of INC280 assessed during the dose expansion part was 600 mg twice daily (BID) administered as capsules of 50 mg. Later during the dose expansion part, a tablet with higher dosage strengths (50 mg, 150 mg, and 200 mg) was developed and introduced to improve the convenience of study drug administration for patients. PK data on INC280 tablet at 400 mg BID from other studies (NCT01324479, NCT01546428 and NCT01610336) showed that systemic exposure to INC280 was in the range of that achieved with the capsule at 600 mg BID.

During the Dose Expansion part of the study, Novartis halted the enrollment in Dec-2016 due to difficulty in identifying patients who met the definition of c-MET high as defined in the inclusion criteria. Patients who were already enrolled and signed the informed consent were allowed to continue in the study according to the protocol. The enrollment halt was not a consequence of any safety concerns.

Conditions

Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma With c-MET Dysregulation

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NON_RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

INC280

The protocol consisted of two independent parts (Dose-Determining Part and Dose Expansion Part). Patients were treated with INC280 300 mg twice a day in the Dose-Determining Part. The dose for the Expansion Part could be lower, equal or higher than in the Dose-Determining Part and was determined after the Dose Determining Part at the dose decision analysis.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

INC280

Intervention Type: DRUG

INC280 was administered orally on a continuous twice a day (BID) dosing schedule, from Day 1 until Day 21 of each 21-day cycle. INC280 was initially supplied as hard gelatin capsules and subsequently also as film-coated tablets.
