    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Phase I Only: Recommended Phase II Dose of Tosedostat [Completion of cycle 1 of all participants in Phase I portion of study (approximately 14 months)]

      The recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) is defined as the dose level immediately below the dose level at which 2 patients of a cohort (of 2 to 6 patients) experience dose-limiting toxicity during the first cycle. If 0 or 1 of 6 patients in Dose Level 1 experience DLT during the first cycle, Dose Level 1 will be presumed to be the RP2D. DLTs are followed through completion of the first cycle.

    2. Phase I Only: Number of Participants Who Experience Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs) [Completion of cycle 1 of all participants in Phase I portion of study (approximately 14 months)]

      Possibly/probably/definitely related to study treatment in 1st cycle (cyc) *Grade (Gr) 4 neutropenia >7 day, Febrile neutropenia of any duration with temperature ≥ 38.5 °C, Gr 4 anemia requires transfusion therapy on more than 2 occasions in 7 days, Gr 4 thrombocytopenia Possibly/probably/definitely related gr. 3/4 non-hematologic toxicity that occurs 1st cyc with the following EXCEPTIONS: Gr 3 nausea/vomiting/diarrhea/anorexia <72 hours that returns to Gr 1 prior to the start of cyc 2, Gr 3 hand-foot syndrome will only be considered a DLT for patients who have received 1 week of supportive care treatment with no improvement, Gr 3 fatigue that returns to Gr 1 prior to the start of cyc 2, Gr 3 flu-like symptoms <72 hours that returns to Gr 1 prior to start of cyc 2, Gr 3 arthralgia or myalgias <72 hours that return to Gr 1 prior to the start of cyc 2, Gr 3 potassium/phosphorus/magnesium that is asymptomatic or of non-clinical significance <72 hours, Gr 3 hypoalbuminemia

    3. Progression-free Survival (PFS) Rate [3 months]

      PFS is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first. Progressive disease (PD) Target lesions: At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progressions). Non target lesions: Appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Unequivocal progression should not normally trump target lesion status. It must be representative of overall disease status change, not a single lesion increase.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall Response Rate (ORR) [Up to 18 months]

      ORR = Complete response + partial response Target lesions Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Non target lesions *Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. All lymph nodes must be non-pathological in size (<10 mm short axis).

    2. Time-to-progression (TTP) [Up to 24 months]

      -Progressive disease (PD) Target lesions: At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progressions). Non target lesions: Appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Unequivocal progression should not normally trump target lesion status. It must be representative of overall disease status change, not a single lesion increase

    3. Overall Survival Rate (OS) [Up to 1 year from completion of treatment (median treatment length 81.50 days (28.00-346.00)]

    4. Number of Participants With a CA19-9 Response [Completion of treatment (median treatment length 81.50 days (28.00-346.00)]

      CA19-9 is a tumor marker that is used in the management of pancreatic cancer. Rising CA19-9 levels may mean the tumor is growing and decreasing CA19-9 levels may mean the tumor is shrinking or the amount of cancer in the body is decreasing A CA19-9 response means that the tumor marker has decreased over baseline (before treatment started) levels

    • AST or ALT ≤2.5 IULN (≤5X IULN if liver metastases are present)

    • Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control, abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she must inform her treating physician immediately.

    • Currently receiving any other investigational agents.

    • Known brain metastases. Patients with known brain metastases must be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events.

    • A history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to tosedostat or capecitabine or other agents used in the study.

    • Previous treatment with any aminopeptidase inhibitor.

    • Previous exposure to either 5-FU or capecitabine at a systemic dose except for use in concurrent chemoradiation.

    • Known dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency or severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault formula), as this would preclude use of capecitabine.

    • Patient must have a QTc interval on ECG ≤ 0.48 seconds by Bazett's calculation at screening.

    • Patient may not be taking any drugs that prolong the QT/QTc interval. If patient is on any of these drugs, patient may enroll in the study if the drugs can be discontinued for at least 5 half-lives prior to the first dose of tosedostat and capecitabine.

    • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

    • Pregnant and/or breastfeeding. Patients that are of childbearing age must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and agree on using contraception during the duration of the study.

    • Known HIV-positivity on combination antiretroviral therapy because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with tosedostat or capecitabine. In addition, these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy. Appropriate studies will be undertaken in patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when indicated.

    Arm/Group Title Phase I (Tosedostat + Capecitabine) Phase II (Tosedostat + Capecitabine) Phase I and Phase II (Tosedostat + Capecitabine)
    Arm/Group Description The phase I study will be conducted in the standard 6-patient-per-cohort dose de-escalation fashion. Tosedostat by mouth daily Days 1-21 of each 21-day cycle. Dose Level 0 (starting dose) = 120 mg PO daily and Dose Level -1 = 60 mg PO daily. All 6 patients in the Phase 1 received 120 mg starting dose of tosedostat. Capecitabine 1000 mg/m^2 by mouth BID Days 1-14 of each 21-day cycle Fresh tissue biopsy: Patients who have a partial response at the end of cycle 2 will be required to undergo biopsy if deemed safe for the patient and tissue is feasible to obtain. Tosedostat (dose determined by Phase I portion of study) by mouth daily Days 1-21 of each 21-day cycle Capecitabine by mouth BID Days 1-14 of each 21-day cycle Fresh tissue biopsy: Patients who have a partial response at the end of cycle 2 will be required to undergo biopsy if deemed safe for the patient and tissue is feasible to obtain.

    Title Number of Participants With a CA19-9 Response
    Description CA19-9 is a tumor marker that is used in the management of pancreatic cancer. Rising CA19-9 levels may mean the tumor is growing and decreasing CA19-9 levels may mean the tumor is shrinking or the amount of cancer in the body is decreasing A CA19-9 response means that the tumor marker has decreased over baseline (before treatment started) levels
