Combination Therapy With NC-6004 and Gemcitabine in Advanced Solid Tumors or Non-Small Cell Lung, Biliary and Bladder Cancer

In the dose escalation phase (Part 1), this study will determine the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 (RPII) dose of NC 6004 in combination with gemcitabine.

In the expansion phase of the study (Part 2), study will evaluate the activity, safety, and tolerability at the RPII dose identified in Part 1 in patients with squamous NSCLC, biliary tract, and bladder cancer.

Inclusion criteria

  • (Part 1 only) Have a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced solid tumor that has relapsed or is refractory to standard curative or palliative therapy or has a contraindication to standard therapy.
  • (Part 2 only) Cohort 1: Have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of Stage IV squamous NSCLC and have not received prior chemotherapy or immunotherapy for metastatic disease and are not known to be PD-L1 positive (known high PD-L1 expression defined as Tumor Proportion Score [TPS] greater than or equal to 50%). Patients with known sensitizing mutation in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion oncogene must have received at least 1 and up to 2 targeted therapies prior to enrollment.
  • (Part 2 only) Cohort 2: Have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of nonresectable, recurrent, or metastatic biliary tract carcinoma (intrahepatic or extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder cancer, or ampullary carcinoma) and have not received prior systemic anticancer therapy for advanced or metastatic disease.
  • (Part 2 only) Cohort 3: Have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of metastatic or locally advanced TCC of the urinary tract (bladder, urethra, ureter, renal pelvis) (T3b-T4 N0 M0, Tany N1-N3 M0, or Tany Nany M1) and are not candidates for surgery.
  • Have measurable disease per RECIST version 1.1.
  • Have an ECOG PS of 0 to 1, with the exception of patients in Part 2 (Cohort 3, unfit bladder cancer patients) who may have an ECOG PS of 2
  • Adequate bone marrow reserve, liver and renal function
  • Have a negative pregnancy test result at Screening for females of childbearing potential
  • Male patients must agree to use a condom during treatment and for 90 days after dosing and must agree not to donate sperm for 90 days after dosing
  • Women of childbearing potential are willing to agree to use 1 of the study defined effective methods of birth control from the time of study entry to 6 months after the last day of treatment
  • Reasonably recovered from preceding major surgery as judged by the investigator or no major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the start of Day 1 treatment

Exclusion criteria

  • Have received prior platinum therapy in the past 3 months (Part 1) or 6 months in the adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting (Part 2).
  • Have received prior cisplatin and gemcitabine concomitantly within the last 6 months or are refractory to cisplatin and gemcitabine.
  • Unresolved toxicity from prior radiation, chemotherapy, or other targeted treatment, including investigational treatment
  • Have evidence suggesting pulmonary fibrosis or interstitial pneumonia.
  • Have a history of thrombocytopenia with complications
  • Have known hypersensitivity to platinum compounds or gemcitabine.
  • Have uncontrolled diabetes or have hypertension requiring more than 3 medications for control of hypertension.
  • Have pre-existing alcoholic liver injury or significant liver disease.
  • Pregnant or breast feeding

Treatment and study plan

NC-6004

Drug

NC-6004 - given at escalating doses of 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, or 180 mg/m2 according to observations of dose-limiting toxicity.

Gemcitabine

Drug

Gemcitabine 1250 mg/m2 will be administered as a 30 minute intravenous infusion on Day 1 after the completion of the NC 6004 infusion and on Day 8 of each cycle.

Primary outcomes

  1. Determine the RPII Dose of NC-6004 in Combination With Gemcitabine

    Time frame: 1 year

    In the dose-escalation phase of the study (Part 1), to determine the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), MTD, and RPII dose of NC-6004 in combination with gemcitabine

  2. Activity of NC-6004 Measured by Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: 1 year

    In the expansion phase of the study (Part 2), to evaluate the activity of NC-6004 in combination with gemcitabine in patients with first-line Stage IV squamous NSCLC, first-line advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer, and first-line metastatic or locally advanced bladder cancer compared with historical control as measured by local investigator/radiologist-assessed progression-free survival (PFS), according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.

Secondary outcomes

  1. ORR

    Time frame: Up to 40 weeks

    To evaluate ORR, DCR (DCR = complete response [CR] + partial response [PR] + stable disease [SD]), DOR, PFS, and OS

  2. DCR

    Time frame: Up to 40 weeks

    To evaluate ORR, DCR (DCR = complete response [CR] + partial response [PR] + stable disease [SD]), DOR, PFS, and OS

  3. DOR

    Time frame: every 6 weeks tumor assessments for response and disease progression after treatment discontinuation and telephone calls for survival every 12 weeks until disease progression.

    To evaluate ORR, DCR (DCR = complete response [CR] + partial response [PR] + stable disease [SD]), DOR, PFS, and OS

  4. OS

    Time frame: every 6 weeks tumor assessments for response and disease progression after treatment discontinuation and telephone calls for survival every 12 weeks until disease progression.

    To evaluate ORR, DCR (DCR = complete response [CR] + partial response [PR] + stable disease [SD]), DOR, PFS, and OS

  5. EORTC QLQ-C30

    Time frame: 1 year

    The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) has the 5 functional scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, social), and 9 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, financial difficulties). All of the scales and single item measures range in score from 0 to 100. A positive value of change from baseline means a better outcome in functional scales and a worse outcome in symptom scales.
