Epacadostat (INCB24360) in Combination With Sirolimus in Advanced Malignancy

Status unconfirmed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Advanced Solid Tumor, Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

In brief

This is a small phase I study with dose escalation and dose expansion cohorts. The former cohort will need up to 12 subjects with advanced solid tumor to define feasibility and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D); the latter up to 10 subjects to further define safety. Study subjects will be adults with advanced solid tumor (dose escalation) and advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who progressed on at least one first-line systemic therapy (dose expansion).

You may qualify if…

Participants must meet all of the inclusion criteria to participate in this study.
Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.
Prior treatment with at least one line of systemic therapy.
Dose escalation: subjects with advanced and unresectable solid tumor who progressed on at least one line of systemic therapy, and no approved therapy or standard therapy with demonstrated clinical benefit exists; and all subjects with T790M mutation positive NSCLC have progressed on osimertinib.
Note - Disease measurability is not required for dose escalation.
Dose expansion: subjects with metastatic or recurrent NSCLC who progressed on at least one line of systemic therapy for metastatic or recurrent disease, which must include anti PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor, and must have measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 and accessible tumor for biopsy. Molecular status of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) must have been assessed for nonsquamous NSCLC. Those with activating EGFR mutation or ALK gene arrangement must have progressed on at least one kinase inhibitor.
Age ≥ 18 years.

Adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
Leukocytes ≥ 3,000/mcL
Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/microliter (mcL)
Platelets ≥ 100,000/mcL
Hemoglobin ≥ 9 grams per deciliter (g/dL)
Total bilirubin within normal institutional limits
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT) ≤ 2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (SPGT) ≤ 2.5 X ULN
Alkaline Phosphatase Level (ALP) ≤ 2.5 X ULN
Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 X ULN or Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) ≥ 50ml/min
Note: Subjects with bone metastasis and no liver metastasis on screening image may enroll if ALP is <5 X ULN. Subjects with liver metastasis may enroll if all of AST/ALT/ALP are <5 X ULN. However, subjects with extensive liver metastasis occupying more than 50% of liver parenchyma will be excluded.
Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 X ULN unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy, as long as partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants.
Women of child-bearing potential and men with partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 90 days following completion of therapy. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
A woman of child-bearing potential is any female (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) who meets the following criteria:
Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or
Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months)

You may not qualify if…

Participants meeting any of the exclusion criteria at baseline will be excluded from study participation.
Current or anticipated use of other investigational agents while participating in this study.
Participation in any other study in which receipt of an investigational study drug occurred within 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before first dose.
Subjects who have received an IDO inhibitor. Subjects who have received other immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g. anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, and any other treatment targeting T-cell) will be permitted. Subjects who have received experimental vaccines or other immune therapies should be discussed with the Principal Investigator (PI) to confirm eligibility.
Subjects who have received sirolimus, everolimus, temsirolimus, or any other agent for current malignancy that theoretically targets Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), AKT and / or mTOR.
Any prior ≥ Grade 3 immune-related adverse event (irAE) while receiving immunotherapy, including anti-Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment, or any unresolved irAE>Grade 1.
Note: Previous immune-related ocular toxicity of any grade is excluded.
Subjects who are receiving an immunosuppressive treatment for any reason, including chronic use of systemic steroid or prednisone equivalent at doses ≥ 10 milligrams per day (mg/day) within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. Use of inhaled or topical steroids or systemic corticosteroids < 10 mg is permitted.
Subjects who have had prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of therapy. Subjects must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis.
Patient has received chemotherapy within 3 weeks prior to entering the study or has not recovered sufficiently (i.e., greater than grade 1. PI will judge patient recovery status) from adverse events due to agents administered more than 3 weeks earlier. Exceptions are stable chronic toxicities not expected to resolve, such as peripheral neurotoxicity, alopecia, and fatigue.
Prior monoclonal antibody within 4 weeks before study Day 1 or not recovered (≤ Grade 1 or at baseline) from AEs due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier. Exception to this rule would be use of denosumab.

Per INCB24360 investigator's brochure.

Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
Current use or anticipated need for treatment with any medications or substances that are inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4.
Known allergy or reaction to any component of either study drug formulation. Any history of serotonin syndrome (SS) after receiving 1 or more serotonergic drugs.
