A Phase I Trial of the IGF-1R Antibody AMG 479 in Combination With Everolimus (RAD001) and Panitumumab in Patients With Advanced Cancer (The RAP Trial)
This open-label, non-randomized, dose escalation phase I biomarker trial of the triplet
regimen of AMG 479, everolimus, and panitumumab for subjects with refractory advanced solid
tumors is designed to assess the safety and tolerability of this combination as well as
preliminary efficacy.
regimen of AMG 479, everolimus, and panitumumab for subjects with refractory advanced solid
tumors is designed to assess the safety and tolerability of this combination as well as
preliminary efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to find the safest dose of the drugs AMG 479 and everolimus in
combination and then with panitumumab added. This study will consist of two parts. If you are
enrolled in Part One of the study, you will receive AMG 479 and everolimus. If you are
enrolled in Part Two of the study, you will receive AMG 479, everolimus, and panitumumab. The
study will also look at how the drugs work in the body, and will see if there is any effect
on your cancer.
The study will have two parts: The first part will be to define the MTD/RPTD of the doublet
combination of AMG 479 + everolimus using a standard 3-6 subjects per dose level. Since each
agent is known to be well tolerated as monotherapy, we will start with the full dose of AMG
479 and escalate the dose of everolimus. Once the RPTD is established, an additional 20
subjects will be added to confirm the tolerability of this regimen and to allow more detailed
biomarker assessment for the effect of each agent alone in the doublet combination. In this
biomarker expanded cohort, subjects will start treatment with 2 weeks of AMG 479 monotherapy
(a single dose of AMG 479), followed by the combination of AMG 479 + everolimus on day 15.
The second part of the study will assess tolerability of the triplet therapy, with
panitumumab added to the RPTD of AMG 479 + everolimus, again using a standard cohort size of
3-6 subjects. Finally, at the recommended phase II dose of the triplet therapy, 20 subjects
will be added to an expanded safety and biomarker cohort. In this biomarker expanded cohort,
10 subjects will start treatment with two weeks of AMG 479 monotherapy (a single dose of AMG
479), and 10 subjects will start treatment with two weeks of everolimus monotherapy, with all
subjects starting the triplet combination therapy with panitumumab on day 15.
Two sustained complete responses (one > 2 years of complete response, second >8 months of
complete response) were seen in subjects with refractory NSCLC (never smokers) enrolled in
the doublet regimen. Therefore, an additional 20 subjects with NSCLC, never smokers or
non-smokers with ≤ 10 year pack smoking history will be enrolled at MTD/RPTD to further
assess safety, tolerability and clinical activity in this specific patient cohort. In this
cohort, subjects will start both drugs on cycle 1, day 1.
ABOUT THE STUDY DRUGS:
AMG 479 is an intravenous (I.V., meaning through a vein) medication made from a special type
of human protein called antibodies. AMG 479 blocks the activity of another protein called
IGF-1R which is important for tumors to grow. Blocking IGFR-1 activity has been shown to slow
or kill cancer cells in laboratory studies. AMG 479 is currently being evaluated in clinical
research studies in a variety of cancers. AMG 479 is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for the treatment of cancer and is therefore considered an
investigational drug.
Everolimus is a pill that works by blocking the activity of a substance in the body known as
mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin). mTOR is important for helping the growth and survival
in normal and cancer cells. Blocking mTOR activity has been shown to slow or kill cancer
cells in laboratory studies. Everolimus is currently being evaluated in clinical research
studies in a variety of cancers. Everolimus (AfinitorTM) is approved by the FDA for the
treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer), subependymal giant cell
astrocytoma (a type of brain cancer), neuroendocrine tumors originating in the lung or
gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and HER2-negative breast cancer. Besides cancer, everolimus also
has been tested for its ability to help block the rejection of solid organs transplants (such
as liver or kidney transplants). Everolimus is approved for this purpose in Europe but not in
the United States.
Panitumumab is another intravenous (I.V.) medication made from a special type of human
protein called antibodies. Panitumumab blocks the activity of a protein called EGFr which is
also important for tumors to grow. Blocking EGFr activity has been shown to slow or kill
cancer cells in laboratory studies. Panitumumab is currently being evaluated in clinical
research studies in a variety of cancers. Panitumumab (Vectibix™) is approved by the FDA for
the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer following 5'FU, oxaliplatin and irinotecan
chemotherapy regimens.
