Phase 1/2 Study of USL311 +/- Lomustine in Advanced Solid Tumors or Relapsed/Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)

Overview

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1/2, dose-escalation and dose expansion study of a CXCR4 inhibitor, USL311, alone and in combination with lomustine in subjects with advanced solid tumors (Phase 1) and subjects with relapsed/recurrent GBM (Phase 2). The study is designed to explore the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of USL311 alone and in combination with lomustine.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)
    • Time Frame: Assessed weekly during treatment period. Median duration of exposure was 5.14 (range 2.1-17.3) weeks.
    • The MTD was defined as the highest safe dose (mg/m^2) administered where safe is defined by having at least a 50% probability that the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) rate is less than 33%, as determined by a modified continuous reassessment model.
  • Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)
    • Time Frame: Assessed weekly during treatment period. Median duration of exposure was 6.00 (range 0.3-30.0) weeks.
    • The MTD was defined as the highest safe dose (mg) administered where safe is defined by having at least a 50% probability that the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) rate is less than 33%, as determined by a modified continuous reassessment model.

Secondary Measures

  • Percentage Progression Free Survival (PFS) at 6 Months (PFS-6m)
    • Time Frame: Once every 6 weeks during treatment
    • Percentage of subjects who were without progression at 6 months as assessed radiographically with response to treatment determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) or Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria.
  • Overall Survival (OS)
    • Time Frame: Weekly during treatment or every 12 weeks during follow-up
    • Percentage of subjects alive five years after start of treatment.
  • Median Progression Free Survival (PFS)
    • Time Frame: Every 6 weeks during treatment
    • Time after initiation of treatment before disease progression
  • Objective Response Rate (ORR%)
    • Time Frame: Every 6 weeks
    • Percentage of patients whose disease decreased (Partial response) and/or disappears (Complete response) after initiation of treatment
  • Peak Concentration (Cmax)
    • Time Frame: Day 1
    • Peak USL311 concentration (Cmax) in plasma
  • Time to Peak Concentration (Tmax)
    • Time Frame: Day 1
    • Time to peak concentration of USL311 in plasma
  • Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC)
    • Time Frame: Day 1
    • Area under the curve versus time from time 0 to infinity for USL311 concentration in plasma
