Palbociclib and Binimetinib in RAS-Mutant Cancers, A ComboMATCH Treatment Trial
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This phase II clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of palbociclib and binimetinib in treating patients with RAS-mutated cancers. Palbociclib and binimetinib are both in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. They work by blocking the action of abnormal proteins that signals cancer cells to multiply. This trial may help researchers understand if giving the combination of palbociclib and binimetinib can help improve the amount of time before the cancer grows in patients with patients with low grade serous ovarian cancer who have certain changes in the tumor DNA. This trial may also help researchers understand if giving the combination of palbociclib and binimetinib can help improve outcomes among patients with low grade serous ovarian cancer who have previously received a MEK inhibitor. For patients with other tumors, with the exception of lung cancer, colon cancer, melanoma and low grade serous ovarian cancers, this trial may help researchers understand if giving the combination of palbociclib and binimetinib can improve the clinical outcome of survival without progression in patients who have certain changes in their tumor's DNA.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Progression free survival (PFS) (Cohort 1) [Time from randomization date until the time of disease progression or death due to any cause, assessed at 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30 months]
Will compare the PFS distributions between those treated with palbociclib and binimetinib vs. binimetinib alone. PFS will be compared between the two treatment arms using Kaplan-Meier methods. The hazard ratio, median PFS, and estimated PFS rates at 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30 months will be estimated along with corresponding 95% confidence intervals. A log-rank test will be used to compare the PFS distributions between the two treatment arms in this cohort. In an ancillary manner, Cox proportional hazards models will also be used to assess the impact of treatment arm on PFS when stratifying on the stratification factors.
- Objective response rate (ORR) (Cohort 2) [Up to 3 years]
The Simon optimal design used to evaluate efficacy in terms of the objective response rate after treatment in this population will use a two-stage design.
- ORR (Cohort 3) [Up to 3 years]
The Simon minimax design used to evaluate efficacy in terms of the objective response rate after treatment in this population will use a two-stage design.
- ORR (Cohort 4) [Up to 3 years]
The Simon minimax design used to evaluate efficacy in terms of the objective response rate after treatment in this histology/tumor agnostic population will use a two-stage design.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Objective response (Cohort 1) [Up to 3 years]
Objective response by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1 criteria will be estimated using ORR where ORR is defined as the number of evaluable patients achieving a response (partial response [PR] or complete response [CR] per RECIST v1.1) during treatment with study therapy divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Rates of response will be compared between treatment arms using a chi-square test (or Fisher's exact test as needed). Point estimates will be generated for objective response rates within each arm along with 95% confidence intervals using the Clopper-Pearson method.
- PFS (Cohorts 2, 3, 4) [from study entry to the first of either disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years]
Disease progression will be determined based on RECIST 1.1 criteria. PFS will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The median PFS and corresponding 95% confidence interval will be reported. Patients will be censored at the last disease assessment date if they were alive and progression-free at the time of their last assessment.
- Overall survival (OS) (All Cohorts) [From registration until death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years]
Patients who are alive at last follow-up will be censored at that time point. The distribution of OS will be estimated using method of Kaplan-Meier. The median OS and 95% confidence interval will be reported.
- Duration of response (DoR) (All Cohorts) [From patient's earliest best objective status to earliest date of progression, assessed up to 3 years]
DoR is defined for all evaluable patients who have achieved an objective response as time from the patient's earliest best objective status is first noted as either a CR or PR to the earliest date progression is documented, or death if no prior evidence of disease progression. The distribution of DoR will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.
- Disease control (All Cohorts) [Up to 3 years]
Disease control will be estimated using disease control rate (DCR), which is defined as the patients who experience CR or PR per RECIST 1.1 or maintain stable disease for at least 6 months after randomization divided by the total number of evaluable patients. DCR will be evaluated within cohorts, and for cohort 1 this will also be compared between treatment arms using a chi square test. Point estimates will be generated for disease control rates within each arm along with 95% confidence intervals using the Clopper-Pearson method.
- Incidence of adverse events (AE) (All Cohorts) [Up to 3 years]
All eligible patients that have initiated treatment will be considered evaluable for assessing AE rate(s). Patients will be evaluated for adverse events using the National Cancer Institute's Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. The maximum grade for each type of AE will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine patterns. Additionally, the relationship of the AE(s) to the study treatment will be taken into consideration.
Other Outcome Measures
- TK1 activity (Cohorts 1 and 2) [Up to 3 years]
Will explore TK1 activity before vs. after treatment and how this corresponds and correlates to clinical outcomes after treatment with palbociclib.
- KRAS mutations (Cohorts 1 and 2) [Up to 3 years]
Will characterize patients based on presence of KRAS mutations and how these correspond to efficacy outcomes such as PFS and response to treatment. Further, for cohort 1, will also evaluate how presence of this mutation influences outcomes in patients treated with monotherapy vs. the combination therapy. If numbers are sufficient, will also explore if KRAS mutation has any role as an effect modifier in this setting.
- Determinants of response and resistance (Cohorts 1 and 2) [Up to 3 years]
Will conduct whole-exome sequencing and ribonucleic acid (RNA)-sequencing at baseline, and on optional biopsy upon progression to assess determinants of response and resistance. For cohort 1, concordance of diagnostic tumor mutation profile generated by the designated laboratory, the pre-treatment biopsy mutation profile, and the pre-treatment circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) mutation profile will be assessed.
- Changes in plasma RAS allelic burden in KRAS-mutated tumors (Cohorts 1 and 2) [Up to 3 years]
Will explore changes in plasma RAS allelic burden in KRAS-mutated tumors using ctDNA and correlate changes with clinical activity.
- TK1 activity (Cohorts 3 and 4) [Up to 3 years]
Will explore TK1 activity before vs. after treatment and how this corresponds and correlates to clinical outcomes after treatment with palbociclib.
- Determinants of response (Cohorts 3 and4) [Up to 3 years]
Will evaluate change in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), RNA, and ctDNA. Concordance of diagnostic tumor mutation profile generated by the designated laboratory, the pre-treatment biopsy mutation profile, and the pre-treatment ctDNA mutation profile will be assessed.
- Signatures of intrinsic resistance or response (Cohorts 3 and 4) [Up to 3 years]
Will evaluate change in DNA, RNA, and ctDNA. Concordance of diagnostic tumor mutation profile generated by the designated laboratory, the pre-treatment biopsy mutation profile, and the pre-treatment ctDNA mutation profile will be assessed.
- Plasma RAS allelic burden in in relation to response (Cohorts 3 and 4) [Up to 3 years]
Will evaluate change in DNA, RNA, and ctDNA. Concordance of diagnostic tumor mutation profile generated by the designated laboratory, the pre-treatment biopsy mutation profile, and the pre-treatment ctDNA mutation profile will be assessed.
