A Phase Ia/Ib Study of the Combination of the FGFR Inhibitor Pemigatinib and the EGFR Inhibitor Afatinib in Advanced Refractory Solid Tumors

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 1
SUMMARY

This study is researching whether the combination of Afatinib and Pemigatinib is safe and effective in FGFR altered unresectable or metastatic advanced solid tumors. The study is also trying to discover the highest doses of the study drugs that can be administered without causing any intolerable side effects. This research study involves the study drugs Afatinib and Pemigatinib.

∙ All Patients

• Unresectable or metastatic, histologically confirmed advanced solid tumor, where standard curative or palliative measures are no longer effective or are not considered appropriate or safe in the opinion of the investigator.

• FGFR1-3 fusion, rearrangement, activating mutation, or FGFR2 extracellular domain in-frame deletions on tumor profiling in tumor tissue as determined by testing routinely performed at a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) or other similarly certified laboratory. If the FGFR alteration is present on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis alone, the patient may be eligible with principal investigator approval. Additional mutations may be considered with principal investigator approval.

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-1.

• At least 18 years of age.

• Ability to swallow tablets.

• Life expectancy \>/=3 months

• Ability to comply with outpatient treatment, laboratory monitoring, and required clinic visits for the duration of study participation.

• Patients with cholangiocarcinoma must have adequate biliary drainage (per investigator's discretion), with no evidence of ongoing infection.

• Willingness of men and women of reproductive potential to observe conventional and effective birth control for the duration of treatment and for 3 months following the last dose of study treatment.

• Measurable or non-measurable disease as determined by RECIST 1.1.

• Adequate organ function defined as:

‣ ALT or AST ≤ 3 × the ULN in the absence of liver metastases, OR ≤ 5 × ULN with documented liver metastases

⁃ Total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 × ULN in the absence of Gilbert's Disease, OR ≤ 3 × ULN with Gilbert's Disease provided direct bilirubin is ≤ ULN

⁃ Serum Creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN OR calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 60ml/min

⁃ Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL (≥ 90 g/L)

⁃ Absolute Neutrophil Count ≥ 1.5 x 109/L

⁃ Platelets ≥ 75 x 109/L

⁃ INR or PT, aPTT or PTT ≤ 1.5 × ULN unless participant is receiving anticoagulant therapy

⁃ NOTE: Transfusions to increase a patient's hemoglobin level or initiation of erythropoietin or G-CSF therapy to meet enrollment criteria are not allowed in the 14 days preceding the first dose of study drug. If a patient receives transfusions, erythropoietin, or G-CSF therapy ≥ 14 days prior to the first dose, the hematologic criteria listed above must be met following the 14-day window and prior to the first dose of study therapy

∙ Dose expansion cohort 1: Patients should fulfill the eligibility criteria above for all patients in addition to the following:

• Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma

• No prior treatment with a selective FGFR inhibitor treatment

• FGFR2 fusion, in-frame rearrangement, or extracellular domain in-frame deletion on tumor profiling in tumor tissue as determined by testing routinely performed on tumor biopsy at a CLIA or other similarly certified laboratory. If the FGFR alteration is present on ctDNA analysis alone, the patient may be eligible with principal investigator approval.

• An archived tumor tissue sample is available in patients not undergoing fresh tumor biopsy. Patients who do not have adequate archival tumor tissue available are required to undergo a fresh tumor biopsy. If a fresh biopsy cannot be safely performed, the patient may be eligible with principal investigator approval.

∙ Dose expansion cohort 2: Patients should fulfill the eligibility criteria above for all patients in addition to the following:

• Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma

• Prior FGFR inhibitor treatment at any time prior to treatment start is required

• FGFR2 fusion, in-frame rearrangement, or extracellular domain in-frame deletion for which they derived clinical benefit (objective response of any duration or stable disease for at least 6 months) from prior FGFR inhibitor therapy, as determined by testing routinely performed on tumor biopsy at a CLIA or other similarly certified laboratory. If the FGFR alteration is present on ctDNA analysis alone, the patient may be eligible with principal investigator approval

• An archived tumor tissue sample after progression on or intolerance of prior FGFR inhibitor available in patients not undergoing fresh tumor biopsy. Patients who do not have adequate archival tumor tissue available are required to undergo a fresh tumor biopsy. If a fresh biopsy cannot be safely performed, the patient may be eligible with principal investigator approval.

Treatments
Experimental: DOSE ESCALATION PHASE 1A PEMIGATINIB + AFATINIB
In the phase 1a dose escalation study participants with FGFR-altered refractory advanced solid tumors will be enrolled.~This research study involves the study drugs Afatinib and Pemigatinib.
Experimental: COHORT 1: EXPANSION PHASE 1B COHORT 1 MTD/RP2D PEMIGATINIB + AFATINIB FGFR INHIBITOR-NAIVE
In the phase Ib dose expansion study, patients with FGFR-altered cholangiocarcinoma will be recruited into 2 cohorts: FGFR inhibitor-naïve cholangiocarcinoma and FGFR-inhibitor-pretreated and resistant cholangiocarcinoma.
