An Open-label Phase 1/2a Study of Oral BAL101553 in Adult Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors and in Adult Patients With Recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma or High-grade Glioma

Date de début de l'étude : 20 mai 2015

Main Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 years 2. Patients who had in the Phase 1 portion either of the following: 1. a histologically- or cytologically confirmed advanced or recurrent solid tumor, who failed standard therapy, or for whom no effective standard therapy was available to them 2. histologically-confirmed GBM or HGG, with progressive or recurrent disease after prior radiotherapy, with or without chemotherapy. This also included patients with histologically-confirmed low-grade glioma who presented with unequivocal evidence by imaging of transformation to GBM / HGG Phase 2a dose expansion portion: Recurrent, histologically confirmed, glioblastoma with tumor tissue positive for EB1; eligible patients with de novo glioblastoma after prior radical chemo-radiotherapy or secondary glioblastoma after prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy. 3. Phase 1: Patients had to have measurable disease; according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria v1.1 for patients with advanced or recurrent solid tumors, and per radiological assessment in neuro-oncology (RANO) criteria for patients with recurrent or progressive GBM /HGG. Phase 2a: Patients had to be evaluable per RANO criteria. 4. Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks 5. Acceptable organ and marrow function at baseline (protocol defined laboratory parameters) 6. Patients with advanced solid tumors had to have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 1 and patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma had to have an ECOG performance status ≤ 2 Main Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with advanced or recurrent solid tumors who had received chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or investigational agents within 4 weeks (2 weeks for single fraction of palliative radiotherapy, 6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to starting study drug or who had not recovered from side effects of prior therapies Patients with recurrent or progressive GBM / HGG who had: received radiotherapy within 6 weeks (Phase 1) or 12 weeks (Phase 2a), unless there was a new area of enhancement consistent with recurrent tumor outside the radiation field; received administration of prior anti-tumor chemotherapy within 4 weeks, or within 6 weeks for nitrosoureas; undergone surgical resection within 4 weeks (Phase 2a: 2 weeks) or a stereotactic biopsy/core biopsy within 1 week prior to starting study drug; 2. Patients who have had prior exposure to lisavanbulin 3. Inability to swallow oral medication 4. Increase in steroid dose in GBM or HGG patients within 5 days prior to first study-drug administration or requirement for \> 6 mg/day dexamethasone or equivalent for symptom control. 5. Patients with gastrointestinal disease or those who have had a procedure that was expected to interfere with the oral absorption or tolerance of lisavanbulin 6. Symptomatic brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease, which was indicative of active disease, in patients with advanced or recurrent solid tumors. 7. Peripheral neuropathy ≥ CTCAE grade 2. 8. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness that would have unduly increased the risk of toxicity or limit compliance with study requirements 9. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 100 mmHg at the screening visit. 10. Blood pressure (BP) combination treatment with more than two antihypertensive medications. 11. Women who were pregnant or breast-feeding. Men or women of reproductive potential who were not willing to apply effective birth control
