Study of MLN2480 in Participants With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors Followed by a Dose Expansion in Participants With Metastatic Melanoma

This is a phase 1, multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label, dose escalation study. The study will be conducted in 2 stages, Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion. The Dose Escalation phase will include participants with solid tumors (including melanoma) who have failed or are not candidates for standard therapies or for whom no approved therapy is available. The Dose Expansion phase will include participants with metastatic melanoma.

Treatment and study plan

MLN2480

Drug

Dose Escalation Phase: participants will receive MLN2480 orally in escalating doses every other day or once weekly for three weeks of a 28-day cycle. Participants may continue treatment for additional cycles (up to 12 months) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or the participant discontinues for any other reason. If it is determined that a participant would derive benefit from continued therapy beyond 12 months treatment may continue. Dose Expansion Phase: Participants will take MLN2480 at the maximum tolerated dose orally every other day or once weekly for three weeks of a 28-day cycle until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or the participant discontinues for any other reason. The maximum duration of treatment is 1 year unless determined that a participant would derive benefit from continued therapy beyond 12 months.

Other names: TAK-580

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants Reporting One or More Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Deaths

    Time frame: Baseline up to 30 days after last dose, or start of subsequent therapy, whichever occurred first (up to Cycle 38 Days 52 [Q2D] and 58 [QW] [Cycle=22 days (Q2D) and 28 days (QW)] in Escalation Phase; Cycle 49 Day 58 [Cycle=28 days] in Expansion Phase)

  2. Dose Escalation Phase: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: Cycle 1 (Cycle length= 22 days [Q2D] and 28 days [QW])

    Dose limiting AEs were evaluated according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.03. Dose limiting AEs were defined as any of the following events: Grade 4 neutropenia for more than 7 days under maximum supportive therapy; febrile neutropenia; platelet counts decreased of Grade 3 requiring platelet transfusion or blood platelet decreased of Grade 4; if Course 2 was not initiated within 14 days due to AE related to the protocol treatment; Grade 3 or higher non-hematologic toxicity that was considered clinically significant, except the following cases, Grade 3 gastrointestinal symptoms that could be controlled with supportive therapy (example, appropriate use of antiemetics, antidiarrheals), and Grade 3 or higher electrolyte abnormalities that were not deemed clinically significant.

  3. Number of Participants With TEAEs Related to Physical Examination Findings

    Time frame: Baseline up to 30 days after last dose, or start of subsequent therapy, whichever occurred first (up to Cycle 38 Days 52 [Q2D] and 58 [QW] [Cycle=22 days (Q2D) and 28 days (QW)] in Escalation Phase; Cycle 49 Day 58 [Cycle=28 days] in Expansion Phase)

  4. Clinically Significant Change From Baseline in Body Weight at End of Study Visit (EOSV)

    Time frame: Baseline up to EOSV (up to Cycle 38 Days 52 [Q2D] and 58 [QW] [Cycle length =22 days (Q2D) and 28 days (QW)] in Escalation Phase; Cycle 49 Day 58 [Cycle length =28 days] in Expansion Phase)

  5. Number of Participants With Abnormal Clinically Significant Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings

    Time frame: Baseline up to 30 days after last dose, or start of subsequent therapy, whichever occurred first (up to Cycle 38 Days 52 [Q2D] and 58 [QW] [Cycle=22 days (Q2D) and 28 days (QW)] in Escalation Phase; Cycle 49 Day 58 [Cycle=28 days] in Expansion Phase)

  6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Score

    Time frame: at EOSV (up to Cycle 38 Days 52 [Q2D] and 58 [QW] [Cycle length =22 days (Q2D) and 28 days (QW)] in Escalation Phase; Cycle 49 Day 58 [Cycle length =28 days] in Expansion Phase)

    ECOG performance score was measured on 6 point scale to assess participant's performance status, where: 0 (fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease activities without restriction); 1 (restricted in physically strenuous activity, but ambulatory and able to carry out light or sedentary work); 2 (ambulatory greater than(>) 50 percent (%) of waking hours), capable of all self-care, unable to carry out any work activities); 3 (capable of only limited self-care, confined to bed or chair >50% of waking hours); 4(completely disabled, cannot carry on any self-care, totally confined to bed or chair); 5 (dead). A higher score indicated greater functional impairment.

  7. Number of Participants With TEAEs Categorized Into Investigations Related to Laboratory Test of Chemistry, Hematology or Urinalysis

    Time frame: Baseline up to 30 days after last dose, or start of subsequent therapy, whichever occurred first (up to Cycle 38 Days 52 [Q2D] and 58 [QW] [Cycle=22 days (Q2D) and 28 days (QW)] in Escalation Phase; Cycle 49 Day 58 [Cycle=28 days] in Expansion Phase)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Baseline up to EOSV (up to Cycle 38 Days 52 [Q2D] and 58 [QW] [Cycle length =22 days (Q2D) and 28 days (QW)] in Escalation Phase; Cycle 49 Day 58 [Cycle length =28 days] in Expansion Phase)

    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). The ORR assessment was based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. CR: was disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) had to be reduced in short axis to less than (<) 10 millimeter (mm). PR: was at least a 30% decrease in sum of diameter (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD.

  2. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Baseline up to the date of first document PD, or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first (up to Cycle 38 Days 52 [Q2D] and 58 [QW] [Cycle =22 days (Q2D) and 28 days (QW)] in Escalation Phase; Cycle 49 Day 58 [Cycle =28 days] in Expansion Phase)

    PFS was the time from first dose date of study drug to date of the first documentation of confirmed progressive disease (PD) or death, whichever occurred first. The PFS assessment was based on RECIST 1.1. PD: at least 20% increase (including an absolute increase of at least 5 mm) in the SOD of target lesions. PFS was calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimate and presented with 2-sided 95% confidence interval. Participants with no response assessment were censored at the date of first dose.

  3. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: From the first documented response (CR or PR) up to the date of first documented PD (up to Cycle 38 Days 52 [Q2D] and 58 [QW] [Cycle =22 days (Q2D) and 28 days (QW)] in Escalation Phase; Cycle 49 Day 58 [Cycle =28 days] in Expansion Phase)

    DOR was assessed from the first documented response (CR or PR) to the date of first documented PD and was censored at the date of the last assessment for responders who died without documented PD and for responders who were still alive and had not progressed. DOR assessment was based on RECIST v1.1. CR: was disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) had to be reduced in short axis to <10 mm. PR: at least 30% decrease in SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD persistence of one or more non-target lesions and/or maintenance of tumor marker level above the normal limits. PD: at least 20% increase (including an absolute increase of at least 5 mm) in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions and/or appearance of 1 or more new lesions. DOR was calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimate.
