Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies the effect of rogaratinib in treating patients with sarcoma with a change in a group of proteins called fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) or SDH-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Rogaratinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
  1. To estimate the objective radiographic response rate to single agent rogaratinib (BAY
  1. in two cohorts of patients with sarcoma: Cohort A defined as patients with a sarcoma which harbors an alteration in fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 1, 2, 3 or 4 identified by next-generation sequencing profiling, and Cohort B defined as patients with advanced succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To estimate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients in Cohort A and Cohort B treated with rogaratinib (BAY 1163877).

  2. Further assessment for safety and tolerability.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To evaluate serial measurements of FGFR and FGFR ligand in serial tumor biopsies as potential pharmacodynamic markers of FGFR pathway inhibition by ribonucleic acid sequencing (RNA-seq) (pre-treatment biopsy and post-progression biopsy [if available]).

  2. Whole exome sequencing (WES) of the pre-treatment biopsy and post-progression biopsy (if available) to help identify mechanisms of resistance.

  3. To bank tumor material, germline deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and peripheral blood for potential future research for participating subjects who provide additional consent.

  4. To explore rogaratinib exposure with pharmacodynamics effects (i.e., clinical response, toxicity, and markers of FGFR pathway inhibition).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive rogaratinib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 24 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo biopsy at baseline and progression and computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET)-CT every 8 weeks.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Objective radiographic response [Up to 30 days after removal from study]

      The duration of overall response is measured from the time measurement criteria are met for complete response or partial response (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Progression-free survival [From start of treatment to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 30 days after removal from study]

      Will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.

    2. Overall survival [Up to 30 days after removal from study]

      Will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.

    3. Incidence of adverse events [Up to 30 days after removal from study]

      Adverse events will be measured by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. Serial measurements of FGFR and FGFR ligand [Up to 30 days after removal from study]

      Will be evaluated in serial tumor biopsies as potential pharmacodynamic markers of FGFR pathway inhibition by ribonucleic acid sequencing. Estimation of continuous biomarker measures will be via mean or median as appropriate and standard deviation.

    2. Mechanisms of resistance [Up to 30 days after removal from study]

      Will identify mechanisms of resistance via whole exome sequencing of pre- and post-treatment biopsies and considered exploratory.

    3. Banking of tumor material, germline deoxyribonucleic acid, and peripheral blood [Up to 30 days after removal from study]

      Will be banked for potential research.

    • Patients should have completed prior treatment for their cancer: chemotherapy or radiotherapy must have been completed for greater than 2 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study

    • Patients should have recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities > grade 1) with the exception of alopecia

    • Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association functional classification. To be eligible for this trial, patients should be class 2B or better

    • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 28 days of initial dose of rogaratinib (BAY 1163877), and again within 7 days prior to treatment on day 1. If screening occurs within 7 days of day 1, only one pregnancy test is required

    • The effects of rogaratinib (BAY 1163877) on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because kinase inhibitor agents are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men 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 4 months after completion of rogaratinib (BAY 1163877). Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of rogaratinib (BAY 1163877) administration

    • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Participants with impaired decision-making capacity (IDMC) who have a legally-authorized representative (LAR) and/or family member available will also be eligible

Use caution with strong inhibitors and inducers of P-glycoprotein (gp). 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 administration of medications that prolong QT/QTc interval is prohibited in accordance with the published FDA guidance "E14 Clinical Evaluation of QT/QTc Interval Prolongation and Proarrhythmic Potential for Non-Antiarrhythmic Drugs".

    • Patients with disturbed calcium and/or phosphate metabolism are excluded from this study

    • Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness

    • Patients with psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements

    • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because rogaratinib (BAY 1163877) is kinase inhibitor agent 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 rogaratinib (BAY 1163877), breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with rogaratinib (BAY 1163877)
