Testing the Combination of the Anti-cancer Drugs Copanlisib, Olaparib, and MEDI4736 (Durvalumab) in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors With Selected Mutations
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This phase Ib trial studies side effects and best dose of copanlisib and olaparib when given together with durvalumab, and how well they work in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Copanlisib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving combinations of copanlisib and olaparib or copanlisib, olaparib, and durvalumab may work better in treating patients with solid tumors compared to usual treatments such as surgery, radiation, or other chemotherapy drugs.

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
- To evaluate the safety and establish the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the doublet combination of copanlisib and olaparib and of the triplet combination of copanlisib, olaparib and MEDI4736 (durvalumab) in patients with molecularly-selected solid tumors.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
-
To observe and record anti-tumor activity of the doublet combination of copanlisib and olaparib, and of the triplet combination of copanlisib, olaparib and MEDI4736 (durvalumab) in patients with molecularly-selected advanced solid tumors, as measured by objective response rate (ORR) (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]). Although the clinical benefit of the doublet and triplet combination of these drugs has not yet been established, the intent of offering this treatment is to provide a possible therapeutic benefit, and thus the patient will be carefully monitored for tumor response and symptom relief in addition to safety and tolerability.
-
To assess overall duration of response (DoR), progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
-
To assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of these combinations, and explore exposure-response relationships.
-
To correlate molecular alterations with OR (CR+PR).
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of copanlisib and olaparib.
Patients receive copanlisib hydrochloride intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15 and olaparib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Beginning cycle 2, patients receive durvalumab IV over 1 hour on day 1. Cycles repeat every 28 days for 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 3-6 months for up to 2 years.

History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to olaparib, copanlisib, PI3K inhibitors or MEDI4736 (durvalumab) or any of the excipients of any study products
-
Concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors and inducers
-
Olaparib: concomitant use of known strong CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., itraconazole, telithromycin, clarithromycin, protease inhibitors boosted with ritonavir or cobicistat, indinavir, saquinavir, nelfinavir, boceprevir, telaprevir) or moderate CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, diltiazem, fluconazole, verapamil). The required washout period for strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors prior to starting olaparib is 2 weeks
-
Because the lists of these agents are constantly changing, it is important to regularly consult a frequently-updated medical reference. As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the patient will be counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the patient is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product
-
Concomitant use of known strong CYP3A inducers (e.g., phenobarbital, enzalutamide, phenytoin, rifampicin, rifabutin, rifapentine, carbamazepine, nevirapine and St John's Wort) or moderate CYP3A inducers (e.g., bosentan, efavirenz, modafinil). The required washout period for strong or moderate CYP3A inducers prior to starting olaparib is 5 weeks for enzalutamide or phenobarbital and 3 weeks for other agents
-
Copanlisib: copanlisib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4. Therefore, the concomitant use of strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir, indinavir, nelfinavir and saquinavir), and strong inducers of CYP3A4 (e.g. rifampin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, St. John's Wort) are not permitted from 14 days prior to enrollment until the end of the study
-
Other medications that are prohibited while on copanlisib treatment:
-
Herbal medications/preparations (except for vitamins)
-
Anti-arrhythmic therapy other than beta blockers or digoxin
-
Because the lists of these agents are constantly changing, it is important to regularly consult a frequently-updated medical reference for a list of drugs to avoid or minimize use of. As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the patient will be counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the patient is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product
-
Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, uncontrolled major seizure disorder, unstable spinal cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome, extensive interstitial bilateral lung disease on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan, symptomatic congestive heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements

-
Women who are breast feeding or pregnant are excluded from this study because olaparib is a poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with olaparib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with olaparib and copanlisib +/- MEDI4736 (durvalumab)
-
Previous allogenic bone marrow transplant or double umbilical cord blood transplantation (dUCBT)
-
Packed red blood cell or platelet transfusion in the last 28 days prior to study entry
-

-
Patients should be excluded if they have a condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of study drug administration. However, systemic corticosteroids may be indicated after starting the study drugs to treat immune-related adverse reactions. Inhaled or topical steroids and adrenal replacement doses =< 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease
-
Patients with non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture
-

Active infection including tuberculosis (clinical evaluation that includes clinical history, physical examination and radiographic findings, and tuberculosis [TB] testing in line with local practice), hepatitis B (known positive hepatitis B virus [HBV] surface antigen [HBsAg] result), or hepatitis C. Patients with a past or resolved HBV infection (defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody [anti-HBc] and absence of HBsAg) are eligible. Patients positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA). HBV/HCV screening is required 28 days prior to starting the study drug using a routine hepatitis virus lab panel
-
Active infection requiring IV antibiotics or other uncontrolled intercurrent illness requiring hospitalization
-
Patients unable to swallow orally administered medication and any medical condition or diagnosis that would likely impair absorption of an orally administered drug (e.g. gastrectomy, ileal bypass, chronic diarrhea, gastroparesis)
-
Known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial
-
Known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Subjects with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are stable (without evidence of progression by imaging for at least four weeks prior to the first dose of trial treatment and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline), have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases, and are not using steroids for at least 7 days prior to trial treatment. This exception does not include carcinomatous meningitis which is excluded regardless of clinical stability
