Phase 1/2 Study of Neratinib and Divalproex Sodium (Valproate) in Advanced Solid Tumors, With an Expansion Cohort in Ras-Mutated Cancers

Who is this study for? Adult patients with Advanced Solid Tumors
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
SUMMARY

To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of the combination of neratinib and sodium valproate when given to patients with advanced solid tumors. Then to explore the antitumor effects of the neratinib and sodium valproate combination in advanced solid tumors with attention to RAS-mutated tumors, EGFR-altered GBM, and ocular melanoma, as part of the phase 2 expansion cohort.

Eligibility
Participation Requirements
Sex: All
Minimum Age: 18
Healthy Volunteers: f
View:

• Phase 1 - Dose Escalation Phase: Advanced solid tumor that has progressed during or after treatment with approved therapies or for which there is no standard effective therapy available

• Phase 2 - Dose Expansion Phase: One of the following advanced solid tumors that is RAS-mutated and has progressed during or after treatment with at least one approved therapy or for which there is no standard effective therapy available: :

• Colon Cancer with a RAS mutation

• Pancreatic Cancer with a RAS mutation

• Other Solid Tumor with RAS Mutation

• Ocular melanoma, which includes melanoma that develops in the sclera, retina, uvea (iris, choroid layer, and ciliary layer), or conjunctiva or other cancers with a GNAQ or GNA11 mutation

• Measurable disease by RECIST v1.1

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1

• Adequate bone marrow function

• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mm3

• Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3

• Hemoglobin \> 9 g/dL (untransfused)

• Adequate renal function

• Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for the laboratory or calculated or actual creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min

• Adequate hepatic function

• Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN for the laboratory Exception: If a patient has documented Gilbert's syndrome and a total bilirubin is \> 1.5 x ULN for the laboratory, the total bilirubin requirement may be waived provided the direct bilirubin is within normal limits (WNL) for the laboratory.

• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3.0 x ULN for the laboratory

• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3.0 x ULN for the laboratory

• Note: For the expansion cohorts, in patients with documented liver metastasis, the AST and ALT requirements will be ≤ 5 x ULN for the laboratory

• Non-hematologic toxicities from previous cancer therapies resolved to ≤ grade 1 except chronic residual toxicities that in the opinion of the investigator are not clinically relevant given the known safety/toxicity profiles of neratinib and sodium valproate (eg, alopecia, changes in pigmentation, stable endocrinopathies, neuropathy, skin toxicities)

• International normalized ratio (INR) is ≤ 1.5 and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN for the laboratory

• A woman of childbearing potential (WCBP), defined as a woman who is \< 60 years of age and has not had a hysterectomy, must have a documented negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to initiating study treatment

• WCBP and a male patient with a partner who is a WCBP must agree to use a medically accepted method for preventing pregnancy for the duration of study treatment and for 2 months following completion of study treatment

• Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document
