A Phase 1 First-in-Human Study Evaluating AMG 900 in Advanced Solid Tumors

Overview

This first-in-human study of AMG 900 will be conducted in two parts: dose escalation and dose expansion. The dose escalation part of the study is aimed at evaluating the safety, tolerability and PK of oral AMG 900 in subjects with advanced solid tumors. Up to 50 subjects may be enrolled in dose escalation. The dose expansion part of the study will consist of 42 subjects in three taxane-resistant tumor types. The dose of AMG 900 will be dependent upon data from the dose escalation part of the study

Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: N/A
    • Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Treatment
    • Masking: None (Open Label)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: December 31, 2014

Detailed Description

that G-CSF must be started at day 5, 1 day after the last day of AMG 900 and be continued until neutrophiles are > 1000 or until day 12, meaning 2 days before the reinduction.

Interventions

  • Drug: Arm 1- Dose Escalation
    • AMG 900 is a small molecule inhibitor of aurora kinases A, B and C. AMG 900 will be administered daily for 4 days every 2 weeks (i.e., 4 consecutive days of dosing followed by 10 consecutive days off treatment).
  • Drug: Arm 1- Dose Expansion
    • AMG 900 is a small molecule inhibitor of aurora kinases A, B and C. AMG 900 will be administered daily for 4 days every 2 weeks (i.e., 4 consecutive days of dosing followed by 10 consecutive days off treatment).

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Arm 1- Dose Expansion
    • The dose expansion part of the study will begin after completion of the dose escalation phase and will consist of 3 cohorts of 14 subjects each. One taxane-resistant tumor type will be evaluated in each cohort.
  • Experimental: Arm 1- Dose Escalation
    • The dose escalation part of the study is aimed at determining the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AMG 900 and if necessary, the MTD with prophylactic GCSF support (MTD-G).

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Safety: subject incidence of adverse events, first-cycle DLTs and clinically significant changes in vital signs, weight, ECGs and clinical laboratory tests
    • Time Frame: 1 year
  • PK profile: AMG 900 PK parameters including, but not limited to, maximum observed concentration (Cmax), minimum observed concentration, area under the plasma concentration-time curve and, if feasible, half-life
    • Time Frame: 1 year
  • Change in levels of p-Histone H3 from baseline (part 1 – dose escalation only)
    • Time Frame: 1 year
  • Response rate in each taxane-resistant tumor type assessed per RECIST guidelines (part 2 – dose expansion only)
    • Time Frame: 1 year

Secondary Measures

  • Change in tumor volume from baseline measured by volumetric CT or MRI
    • Time Frame: 1 year
  • Tumor response measured by CT or MRI and assessed per RECIST guidelines
    • Time Frame: 1 year
  • Change from baseline in maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) using 18FLT-PET/CT (part 2 – dose expansion only)
    • Time Frame: 1 year
