Sapanisertib and Nivolumab for the Treatment of Stage I-IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer in Patients Who Have Progressed on Prior PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor Therapy, I-OVERCOME Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of sapanisertib and nivolumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with stage I-IV non-small cell lung cancer whose disease got worse on previous PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy. Sapanisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving sapanisertib and nivolumab may help to control the disease.

OUTLINE:
Patients receive sapanisertib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 and nivolumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Objective response rate (ORR) [Cycle 1 through Cycle 4 (each cycle is 28 days)]
Will be measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1. Objective response rate will be calculated as the number of responders divided by the number of evaluable patients along with a 90% confidence interval. The ORR by dose level will also be evaluated.
- Incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) [Cycle 1 through Cycle 4 (each cycle is 28 days)]
Dose Limiting Toxicity will be measured by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 5.0. Toxicity data will be tabulated using frequency and percentage by type, grade, and attribution.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Progression-free survival (PFS) [From enrollment until progression or death, assessed up to 16 months]
The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate the distribution of PFS. Median survival time (if estimable), along with the two sided 95% confidence interval (CI) will be presented. When appropriate, univariate or multicovariate Cox proportional hazards regression will be employed to explore the significances of factors on survival.
- Overall survival (OS) [From enrollment until death by any cause, assessed up to 16 months]
The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate the distribution of OS. Median survival time (if estimable), along with the two sided 95% CI will be presented. When appropriate, univariate or multicovariate Cox proportional hazards regression will be employed to explore the significances of factors on survival.
- Disease control rate [Cycle 1 through Cycle 4 (each cycle is 28 days)]
Will be measured by RECIST v1.1. Disease control will be defined as CR/PR/SD post-cycle 4; absence of disease control will be defined as PD within 4 cycles of study treatment.
- Maximum serum concentration of sapanisertib (Cmax) [Up to 16 months]
- Area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC) [Up to 16 months]
Defined as definite integral in a plot of drug concentration in blood plasma versus time.
