A Phase 1b/2 Dose Escalation and Cohort Expansion Study of the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of a Novel Transforming Growth Factor-beta Receptor I Kinase Inhibitor (Galunisertib) Administered in Combination With Anti-PD-1 (Nivolumab) in Advanced Refractory Solid Tumors (Phase 1b) and in Recurrent or Refractory Non-small Cell Lung Cancer or Hepatocellular Carcinoma (Phase 2)
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the
study drug known as galunisertib in combination with nivolumab in participants with advanced
refractory solid tumors and in recurrent or refractory non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
study drug known as galunisertib in combination with nivolumab in participants with advanced
refractory solid tumors and in recurrent or refractory non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Inclusion Criteria:
- For Phase 1b, must have advanced refractory solid tumors in any line of therapy.
- For Phase 2, must have one of the following tumor types: recurrent or refractory NSCLC
(any histology), or HCC with elevated alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) ≥200 nanogram/milliliter
(ng/mL).
- For Phase 2 only, have had disease progression or be refractory or intolerant to 1
prior line of therapy (first line therapy) for recurrent or refractory for NSCLC or
HCC and have refused currently approved second-line therapy. First line therapy is
defined as therapy used to treat advanced disease. This may include multiple
chemotherapeutic, targeted or immunotherapeutic agents with or without radiation
therapy and/or surgery. Each subsequent line of therapy is preceded by disease
progression. A switch of an agent within the same drug class (eg, cisplatinum to
carboplatinum) within a regimen in order to manage toxicity does not define the start
of a new line of therapy.
- For NSCLC:
- Prior lines of therapy must include a platinum-based therapy. Investigational
agents used in combination with standard therapies are allowed. Participants who
received platinum-based neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy and subsequently received
platinum-based therapy as first-line therapy are eligible.
- Participants who have completed neo-adjuvant or adjuvant therapy with a platinum
doublet and have experienced disease recurrence within 6 months of completing the
platinum doublet are eligible.
- Tumors with driver mutations (epidermal growth factor receptor mutation positive
or anaplastic lymphoma kinase fusion oncogene positive) treated with a tyrosine
kinase inhibitor or crizotinib are eligible. For participants who have progressed
on a tyrosine kinase inhibitor or crizotinib or are intolerant to this targeted
therapy, that participant must receive platinum-based therapy prior to enrollment
in this study. Documentation of such mutations must be available and entered into
the electronic case report form (eCRF).
- Maintenance or switch maintenance therapy after first-line chemotherapy will be
considered part of the first-line regimen and is acceptable.
Participants who completed and progressed on a platinum-containing regimen as adjuvant,
neoadjuvant, or part of a course of chemoradiation therapy given from locally advanced
disease and developed recurrent (local or metastatic) disease within the 6 months before
screening would be counted as having received 1 prior platinum-containing regimen and
therefore would not require re-treatment with a platinum-containing regimen for Stage IIIB,
IV, or recurrent disease and are eligible. However, participants must have received at
least 2 cycles of a platinum doublet based chemotherapy before discontinuation for
toxicity. If participants received only one cycle of a platinum doublet and discontinue due
to clear progression, that regimen should be counted as a prior line of therapy.
- For HCC:
- One prior line of therapy which must include sorafenib or participant must have
progressed or been intolerant to sorafenib for participants not eligible for
transarterial chemoembolization. Participants who had sorafenib for locally
advanced disease or are intolerant to sorafenib are eligible. Participants may
have had clinical progression only following sorafenib or local therapy.
- Must have Child-Pugh A only. Participants may have any viral status (hepatitis B,
hepatitis C, or none).
- Have a viral load <100 international units/milliliter (IU/mL).
- For hepatitis B participants, must be on a nucleoside analog reverse
transcriptase inhibitor (lamivudine, telbivudine, adefovir, tenofovir, or
entecavir).
- Have adequate organ function.
- Have a performance status of 0 or 1 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)
scale.
- Use an approved contraceptive method.
Exclusion Criteria:
- For Phase 2 only, more than 1 prior line of therapy for their tumor type.
- Have moderate or severe cardiovascular disease:
- Have the presence of cardiac disease, including a myocardial infarction within 6
months prior to study entry, unstable angina pectoris, New York Heart Association
Class III/IV congestive heart failure, or uncontrolled hypertension.
- Have documented major electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities which are clinically
significant at the investigator's discretion (for example, symptomatic or
sustained atrial or ventricular arrhythmias, second- or third-degree
atrioventricular block, bundle-branch blocks, ventricular hypertrophy, or recent
myocardial infarction).
- Have major abnormalities documented by ECHO with Doppler:
- Moderate or severe heart valve function defect including moderate or severe valve
stenosis or regurgitation.
- Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction <50%, evaluation based on the
institutional lower limit of normal.
- Have septal aneurysm or other heart aneurysm.
- Any aneurysm of the major vessels.
- Active infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) (positive hepatitis B surface antigen);
HCV is allowed only in HCC participants. HCC participants at risk for HBV reactivation
(as defined by anti-hepatitis B core antibody positive) are only eligible in the HCC
cohort.
- Have evidence of interstitial lung disease that is symptomatic or may interfere with
the detection or management of suspected drug-related pulmonary toxicity or active,
noninfectious pneumonitis.
