Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This Phase II trial is being developed following the completion of a Phase I study of the combination of temsirolimus and sorafenib in 25 first-line therapy patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (December 2009 through April 2012). The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of the combination of temsirolimus is 10 mg IV weekly plus sorafenib 200 mg (oral, twice daily).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

The hypothesis of this single-arm phase II study is that the combination of temsirolimus and sorafenib will achieve a clinically-meaningful median time to progression (TTP) of at least 6 months, with null hypothesis of less than or equal to 3 months, in first-line systemic therapy for patients with advanced Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A randomized trial would be required to formally compare the efficacy of this combination to sorafenib alone and will be indicated if this phase II study achieves a median TTP of at least 6 months. An interim safety analysis will employ stopping rules after 30% of planned patients have been treated with at least one dose of protocol therapy to ensure the combination does not confer excessive toxicity.

A key aspect of this study will be the requirement of histologic confirmation along with adequate archival tissue for correlative tissue analyses to explore new biomarkers of response to mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibition. Circulating biomarker data including enumeration of circulating tumor cells (CTC) and measurement of the tumor marker Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) will be performed at specific time points to evaluate for predictive value. Specimen banking of tissue, serum, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells will be undertaken to enable future novel biomarker studies. Modified RECIST will be performed in addition to standard RECIST 1.1 to explore for improved imaging predictors of response.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Median Time to Progression (TTP) [24 months]

    Median TTP will be calculated in months from date of first dose of protocol therapy to date of removal from study for progression, where progression is defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of the target lesions (SLD), taking as reference the smallest sum of the SLD recorded since the treatment started and minimum 5 millimeter (mm) increase over the nadir, or the appearance of one or more new lesions for target lesions and/or appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions . Kaplan-Meier methods will be used to summarize the primary endpoint

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Response Rate (RR) [24 months]

    Response Rate (RR) is defined as any patient whom has a documented complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST version 1.1 criteria. Results will be reported by number of participants for each response type: CR or PR.

  2. Median Progression Free Survival (PFS) [24 months]

    Median PFS will be calculated in months from date of first dose of protocol therapy to date of documented disease progression or death from any cause, where progression is defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the SLD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the SLD recorded since the treatment started and minimum 5 millimeter (mm) increase over the nadir, or the appearance of one or more new lesions for target lesions and/or appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Kaplan-Meier methods will be used to summarize time-to-event outcomes.

  3. Median Overall Survival (OS) [60 months]

    Median OS for all enrolled patients (intention-to-treat) will be calculated from date of first dose of protocol therapy until date of death, using chart review and/or follow up phone calls to determine date of death in patients after removal from study. The survival of patients still alive after 5 years of follow up post study discontinuation will be censored.

  4. Time to Treatment Failure (TTF) [24 months]

    TTF will be measured from date of first dose of protocol therapy to date of study discontinuation for progression, death, or toxicity.

  5. Number of Patients With a Demonstrated Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) Response [24 months]

    In patients with baseline AFP >= 20 ng/mL, AFP response will be measured by the percent change from baseline value to the value at the time of best AFP response. The number of participants with ≥ 50% decline from baseline will be measured.

  6. Number of Patients Whom Required a Dose Reduction [24 months]

    The number of patients whom required a dose reduction due to toxicity as classified by the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 will be reported

  7. Number of Patients Whom Required a Treatment Delay [24 months]

    The number of patients whom required a treatment delay due to toxicity as classified by the CTCAE version 4.0 will be reported

  8. Number of Participants Whom Discontinued Treatment Due to Intolerable Toxicity [24 months]

    The number of participants whom discontinued treatment due to toxicity as classified by the CTCAE version 4.0 will be reported

  3. The effects of temsirolimus on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because sorafenib - also being used in this trial - is known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 14 days of study enrollment.

Also, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use two methods adequate contraception (hormonal plus barrier or two forms of barrier) or abstinence prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she needs to inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, or be surgically sterile, for the duration of study participation, and for 3 months after completion of study drug administration.

  1. Eligibility of patients receiving any medications or substances known to affect or with potential to affect the activity or pharmacokinetics of temsirolimus and/or sorafenib will be determined following review of the case by the Study Chair. Efforts should be made to switch patients who are taking enzyme-inducing anti-convulsant agents to other medications.

  2. mixed histology (mixed HCC-cholangiocarcinoma) tumors if deemed appropriate for HCC therapy by treating MD

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
  1. Mixed tumor histology or fibrolamellar variant tumors are excluded.

  2. Prior systemic or antiangiogenic therapy for HCC (including thalidomide, sorafenib, sunitinib, or bevacizumab).

  6. Immunosuppressive medications including systemic corticosteroids unless used for adrenal replacement, appetite stimulation, acute therapy for asthma or bronchitis exacerbation (≤ 2 weeks), or antiemesis

  7. Patients with known HIV infection are ineligible due to risk of pharmacokinetic interactions between anti-retroviral therapy and the study drugs, as well as potential for significant immunosuppression and serious infections with mTOR inhibition.

  8. Patients who have undergone liver transplantation are excluded.

  9. Uncontrolled hypertension (> 150/90 mmHg).

  10. Uncontrolled hyperlipidemia (total cholesterol > 350 or triglycerides > 300).

  11. Symptomatic brain or bone metastases; prior radiation and/or steroid therapy for brain or bone metastases (if applicable) must be completed ≥ 2 weeks prior to study enrollment.

  12. History of seizure disorder requiring antiepileptic medication or brain metastases with seizures.

  13. Serious non-healing wound, ulcer, bone fracture, or abscess.

  15. Patients requiring chronic anticoagulation with warfarin are excluded. Patients treated with low molecular weight heparin or unfractionated heparin are eligible if on a stable dose without evidence of clinically significant bleeding for at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment.

  16. Active second malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer or cervical carcinoma in situ. (Patients with history of malignancy are not considered to have a "currently active" malignancy if they have completed therapy and are now considered by their physician to be at less than 30% risk for relapse.)

  17. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to: Ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, uncontrolled peripheral vascular disease, myocardial infarction within preceding 12 months, cerebrovascular accident within preceding 12 months, pulmonary disease impairing functional status or requiring oxygen, impairment in gastrointestinal function that may affect or alter absorption of oral medications (such as malabsorption or history of gastrectomy or bowel resection).

  18. Patients will be excluded if there is any history of allergic reaction(s) attributed to compounds of similar composition to temsirolimus, sorafenib, their metabolites, or any component of their formulation (including excipients and polysorbate 80). This includes hypersensitivity to macrolide antibiotics due to potential for cross-reactivity with temsirolimus.

  19. Pregnant or lactating women are excluded from this study because temsirolimus and sorafenib are drugs 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 temsirolimus or sorafenib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is receiving temsirolimus/sorafenib treatment.

  20. Patients who require prohibited medications with potential for serious interactions with protocol therapy, and who cannot have therapeutic substitution are excluded. Patients receiving any medications or substances that are inhibitors or inducers of CYP450 enzyme(s) are ineligible. Lists of prohibited medications and substances known, or with the potential to interact with the specified CYP450 enzyme(s) isoenzymes are provided in Appendices 6-9 Prohibited Medications

  21. Psychiatric illness, other significant medical illness, or social situation which, in the investigator's opinion, would limit compliance or ability to comply with study requirements.
