Phase 1/2a Study of Oral BAL101553 in Adult Patients With Solid Tumors or Glioblastoma or High-grade Glioma

Study Purpose

First in human, open-label, dose escalation (Phase I) and expansion study (Phase 2a) of oral lisavanbulin (BAL101553) in adult patients with advanced solid tumors and adult patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma (GBM) or high-grade glioma (HGG).

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

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

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT02490800
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

This was the first study of the oral formulation (hard capsules) of lisavanbulin. Lisavanbulin was administered once daily during each day of a 28-day treatment cycle to adults with advanced or recurrent solid tumors or recurrent or progressive GBM / HGG who had failed standard therapy, or for whom no effective standard therapy was available. In Phase 1, the highest dose of lisavanbulin was determined that could safely be given to adults with advanced or recurrent solid tumors, recurrent or progressive GBM / HGG. In Phase 2a, the tolerability and potential anticancer activity of oral lisavanbulin was assessed in patients with recurrent GBM whose tumor tissue tests positive for end-binding protein 1 (EB1). The study also measured pharmacokinetics.
