Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Dalantercept, a soluble form of the activin receptor-like kinase-1 protein, is being studied in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). Dalantercept blocks the development of blood vessels that supply tumors.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: Dalantercept
Phase 2

Detailed Description

For cancer cells to grow, they need to have nutrients supplied to them through blood vessels. The study drug, dalantercept, is designed to work by blocking the growth of those blood vessels and preventing cancer cells from growing. The purpose of this study is to find out if dalantercept can cause SCCHN tumors to shrink or stop growing. This study will also evaluate the safety of dalantercept in patients with SCCHN.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) [Tumor assessments performed every 6 weeks, up to 30 days after the last dose of dalantercept and/or disease progression, up to approximately 2 years.]

    ORR is defined as the proportion of patients who met criteria for complete response or partial response. Patients were evaluable for ORR if they had at least one measurable lesion at baseline and at least one disease assessment after baseline. RECIST version 1.1 was used to evaluate efficacy. In addition, patients who developed clinical or radiological progression of disease prior to the scheduled tumor assessment were also considered evaluable for response. The response rate was estimated as the proportion of patients evaluable for response who meet the criteria for complete (CR) and partial response (PR). Per RECIST v1.1 for target lesions and assessed by MRI: complete response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions; partial response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; overall response (OR) = CR + PR.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Safety and Tolerability [Adverse events captured from first dose of dalantercept through 30 days after last dose of dalantercept.]

    Number of participants with at least one adverse event as a measure of safety and tolerability.

  2. Dalantercept Serum Concentration After Single and Multiple Doses [Up to 43 days from initiation of treatment.]

    Pharmacokinetic samples were collected pre- and post- dose on Days: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 43. Reported below is AUC0-t (cycle 1).

  3. Dalantercept Serum Concentration After Single and Multiple Doses [Up to 43 days from initiation of treatment.]

    Pharmacokinetic samples were collected pre- and post- dose on Days: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 43. Reported below is Cmax (cycle 1).

  4. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [Tumor assessments performed every 6 weeks, up to 30 days after the last dose of dalantercept and/or disease progression, up to approximately 2 years.]

    PFS is defined as the date of the first dose to the first observation of disease progression (according to RECIST v.1.1) or death due to any cause. Progression is defined using RECIST v1.1 as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

  5. Overall Survival (OS) [Survival captured until death or at a minimum 1 year from first dose of dalantercept.]

    OS is calculated as the number of months from date of the first dose to the date of death. The last patient treated will be followed for overall survival for 1 year following treatment initiation.

  6. Disease Control Rate [Tumor assessments performed every 6 weeks, up to 30 days after the last dose of dalantercept and/or disease progression, up to approximately 2 years.]

    Disease control rate will be estimated as the proportion of patients evaluable for response who meet the criteria for complete response, partial response, or stable disease.
