Phase 1/2 Study of Derazantinib (ARQ 087) in Adult Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors With FGFR Genetic Alterations

This was an open-label, Phase 1/2, dose escalation and signal finding study of derazantinib administered to patients with advanced solid tumors (Part 1; Dose Escalation/Food-effect Cohorts) or with advanced solid tumors with FGFR genetic aberrations, including iCCA with FGFR2 gene fusion (Part 2; Expanded Cohort, signal finding).

  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 10^9/L
  • Platelet count ≥ 100 x 10^9/L
  • Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) (≤ 2 x ULN for patients with cholangiocarcinoma)
  • Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 3 × ULN (≤ 5 x ULN for patients with liver metastases)
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN or creatinine clearance > 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal
  • Albumin ≥ 2.8 g/dL
  • INR 0.8 to ULN or ≤ 3 for patients receiving anticoagulant therapy
  • Men or women of child-producing potential must agree to use double-barrier contraceptive measures, oral contraception, or avoid intercourse during the study and for 90 days after the last dose of study drug
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test during Screening Period and within 48 hours of the first dose of derazantinib.

Exclusion criteria

  • Anti-cancer therapy, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal, targeted therapy, or investigational agents within four weeks or five times of the drug half life, whichever is longer, of the first dose of derazantinib
  • Major surgery or radiation therapy within four weeks of the first dose of derazantinib
  • Previous treatment with FGFR inhibitors
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biological composition as derazantinib
  • Unable or unwilling to swallow the complete daily dose of derazantinib
  • Clinically unstable central nervous system (CNS) metastasis
  • History of myocardial infarction (MI) or congestive heart failure defined as Class II to IV per the New York Heart Association classification within 6 months of the first dose of derazantinib (MI occurring >6 months of the first dose of derazantinib will be permitted)
  • Significant GI disorder(s) that could interfere with the absorption, metabolism, or excretion of derazantinib (e.g. Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, extensive gastric resection)
  • History and/or current evidence of clinically relevant ectopic mineralization/calcification
  • Previous malignancy within 2 years prior to the first dose of derazantinib, except curatively treated non-melanoma skin cancer, carcinoma in-situ of the breast or cervix, or superficial bladder tumors
  • Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
  • Concurrent uncontrolled illness not related to cancer, including but not limited to:
  • Psychiatric illness/substance abuse/social situation that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
  • Blood transfusion within 5 days of the blood draw being used to confirm eligibility
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding

Treatment and study plan

Derazantinib low dose range

Drug

Derazantinib was administered orally at dose levels from 25 mg QOD - 200 mg QD on a 28-day schedule.

Derazantinib middle dose range

Drug

Derazantinib was administered orally at dose levels from 250 mg QD - 325 mg QD on a 28-day schedule.

Derazantinib high dose range

Drug

Derazantinib was administered orally at dose levels from 400 mg QD - 425 mg QD on a 28-day schedule.

Derazantinib at recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D)

Drug

Derazantinib was administered orally at the recommended phase 2 dose of 300 mg QD on a 28-day schedule.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Patients With Drug-related Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: Adverse events were collected and reported from the time of receiving first dose of derazantinib to the end of study assessment and follow-up period (30-day post-treatment)

    Adverse events were graded for severity according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. CTCAE is classifying AEs and their associated severity from Grade 1 (Mild AE), Grade 2 (Moderate AE), Grade 3 (Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening), Grade 4 (Life-threatening consequences) to Grade 5 (Death related to AE)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Patients With an Objective Tumor Response Per RECIST 1.1

    Time frame: Assessments were performed at Baseline, and every 8 weeks during continuous drug administration until the End of Treatment visit (7 [+3] days after the last dose of derazantinib) or as otherwise clinically indicated.

    The number of patients with an objective tumor response, which included those with either a complete response (CR) or a partial response (PR) based on RECIST v1.1 guidelines which defines criteria for the radiological assessment in tumor response.

    The objective response rate (ORR) was defined as the proportion of patients with a CR or PR.

  2. Proportion of Patients With Disease Control Per RECIST 1.1

    Time frame: Assessments were performed at Baseline, and every 8 weeks during continuous drug administration until the End of Treatment visit (7 [+3] days after the last dose of derazantinib) or as otherwise clinically indicated.

    The number of patients with tumor disease control, which included those with either a complete or partial tumor response, or a stable disease (SD) based on RECIST v1.1 guidelines which defines criteria for the radiological assessment in tumor response. The disease control rate (DCR) was defined as the proportion of patients with CR, PR or SD.

  3. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Assessments were performed at Baseline, and every 8 weeks during continuous drug administration until the End of Treatment visit (7 [+3] days after the last dose of derazantinib) or as otherwise clinically indicated.

    PFS was calculated as the time from the date of first dose until documented radiographic disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Disease progression is measured according to a specified radiologic increase in tumor size.
