Condition(s) targeted: Cervical Cancer

Intervention: RAD001 (Drug); Cisplatin (Drug); External Beam Whole Pelvis Radiation Therapy (Radiation)

Phase: Phase 1

Status: Withdrawn

Sponsored by: Accelerated Community Oncology Research Network

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Todd D Tillmanns, MD, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: The West Clinic

Summary

This Phase 1, single-site, dose-escalation study is being conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of RAD001 as part of a specified combination regimen.

Clinical Details

Official title: Phase I Everolimus Dose Finding Study for the Treatment of Stage IV or Recurrent, Non-resectable, Cervical Cancer With Standard Whole Pelvic Radiation Therapy in Combination With Weekly Cisplatin and Daily Everolimus

Study design: Endpoint Classification: Safety Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome:

To determine the maximum tolerated dose for RAD001 as adjunct therapy to standard upfront treatment of advanced stage cervical cancer in combination with weekly cisplatin and whole pelvic external beam radiation

To determine the dose limiting toxicities for RAD001 as adjunct therapy to standard upfront treatment of advanced stage cervical cancer in combination with weekly cisplatin and whole pelvic external beam radiation

Secondary outcome:

To determine the pharmacokinetics of RAD001 given as adjunct therapy to standard upfront treatment of advanced stage cervical cancer

To evaluate the pharmacogenetics of RAD001 in the specified patient population

To evaluate microvessel density pre-and post-treatment with the specified treatment regimen in the specified patient population

To evaluate potential correlations between biomarkers HIF-1a, TSP-1, P53, VEGF, and VEGFR and use of the specified treatment regimen in the specified patient population

To evaluate progression free survival in the specified patient population

To assess quality of life as indicated by the Patient Care Monitor in the specified patient population

Detailed description: This Phase 1, single-site, dose-escalation study is being conducted to determine the MTD of RAD001 as part of a specified combination regimen. The combination regimen will be standard field whole pelvic RT in combination with cisplatin at 40mg/m2 weekly with RAD001 at dose escalation daily starting at 5 mg qod, then 5 mg qd, then 10 mg qd during the period of whole pelvic radiation therapy.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Female.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients must have at least one measurable site of disease according to Response

Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria that has not been previously irradiated.

- Female patient aged ≥18 years.

- Patient has life expectancy of at least 12 weeks at study start.

study start.

study start.

- Serum creatinine ≤ 2. 0 mg/dL

- Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min

- Patient has adequate hepatic function:

- Serum bilirubin ≤1. 5 x ULN

- ALT and AST ≤2. 5 × ULN (≤ 5 x ULN in patients with liver metastases)

- INR <1. 5 (or < 3 on anticoagulants)

- Patient has fasting serum cholesterol ≤300 mg/dL OR ≤7. 75 mmol/L AND fasting

triglycerides ≤ 2. 5 x ULN.

- Patient is able to provide signed informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patient has neuroendocrine or small cell carcinoma of the cervix.

- Patient has previously used any biologic therapy with VEGF, VEGFR, or ErbB1/ErbB2

inhibitors.

- Patient is currently receiving anticancer therapies or has received anticancer

therapies within 4 weeks of the start of study drug (including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, antibody based therapy, etc.).

- Patient has had a major surgery or significant traumatic injury within 4 weeks of

start of study drug; patient has not recovered from the side effects of any major surgery (defined as requiring general anesthesia) or patient might require major surgery during the course of the study.

- Patient has had prior treatment with any investigational drug within the preceding 4

weeks before study start.

- Patient is receiving chronic, systemic treatment with corticosteroids or another

immunosuppressive agent. Topical or inhaled corticosteroids are allowed.

- Patients should not receive immunization with attenuated live vaccines within one

week of study entry or during study period. Patients should also avoid close contact with people who have received live vaccines during treatment with everolimus. Examples of live vaccines are: intranasal influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, oral polio, BCG, yellow fever, and TY21a typhoid vaccines.

- Patient has known brain or leptomeningeal metastases.

- Patient has had other malignancies within the past 3 years except for adequately

treated squamous cell carcinomas of the skin.

- Patients has any severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions or other conditions

that could affect their participation in the study such as:

- Symptomatic congestive heart failure of New York Heart Association Class III or

IV.

- Unstable angina pectoris, symptomatic congestive heart failure, myocardial

infarction within 6 months of start of study drug, serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia or any other clinically significant cardiac disease.

- Severely impaired lung function defined as spirometry and diffusing capacity

(DLCO) that is 50% of the normal predicted value and/or O2 saturation that is 88% or less at rest on room air.

- Active (acute or chronic) or uncontrolled severe infections.

- Liver disease such as cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis or chronic persistent

hepatitis.

- Patient has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus seropositivity.

may significantly alter the absorption of RAD001 (e. g., ulcerative disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome or small bowel resection).

- Patient has an active, bleeding diathesis.

- Female patient who is pregnant or breast feeding, or an adult of reproductive

potential who is not using effective birth control methods. If barrier contraceptives are being used, these must be continued throughout the trial and for up to 8 weeks after ending treatment by both sexes. Hormonal contraceptives are not acceptable as a sole method of contraception.
