Trabectedin Plus Olaparib in Metastatic or Advanced Sarcomas (TOMAS)

This is a Phase 1b, multi-site, open-label, non-randomized clinical trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of escalating doses of olaparib and trabectedin in patients with unresectable advanced/metastatic sarcomas. Patients will continue to be treated on this combination regimen in the absence of disease progression, intolerable toxicity or patient's decision.

Treatment and study plan

Trabectedin

Drug

trabectedin will be administered in a 24-h continuous i.v. infusion every 3 weeks

Other names: ET-743, Yondelis

Olaparib

Drug

olaparib will be administered in a continuous daily dose every 12 hours

Other names: AZD-2281, Lynparza

Primary outcomes

  1. maximum tolerated dose

    Time frame: from start up to 6 weeks

    safety will be evaluated according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v 4.03

Secondary outcomes

  1. Best Overall Response

    Time frame: baseline and every 2 cycles (6 weeks +/- 1 week) up to 2 years

    best overall response will be defined according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor version 1.1 (RECIST v 1.1)

  2. Clinical Benefit Rate

    Time frame: baseline and every 2 cycles (6 weeks +/- 1 week) up to 2 years

    Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR): will be defined as the rate of CR (complete response) + PR (partial response) + stable disease lasting at least 12 weeks. CR, PR and stable disease will be defined according to RECIST v 1.1.

  3. Growth Modulation Index

    Time frame: baseline and every 2 cycles (6 weeks +/- 1 week) up to 2 years

    Growth modulation index (GMI) will be calculated as: GMI=TTPn/TTPn-1. TTPn: Time To Progression on the new agent. TTP n-1: Time To Progression on the treatment the patient received just before the new agent was started.

  4. Overall Survival

    Time frame: baseline and up to 2 years

    time from the date of enrollment to date of death or to the date being censored at two years (whichever occurs first).

  5. Duration of Tumor Response

    Time frame: baseline and every 2 cycles (6 weeks +/- 1 week) up to 2 years

    Duration of Objective Response (complete or partial responses) will be measured from the date that a complete or partial response is first documented (whichever occurs first) to date of progression or death due to progressive disease, whichever occurs first.

  6. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: baseline and every 2 cycles (6 weeks +/- 1 week) up to 2 years

    PFS is defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of first documentation of disease progression, or to the death from any cause.

  7. Pharmacokinetic of trabectedin (AUC)

    Time frame: baseline, days 1-2-3-4-5-8-15 of the first two cycles

    The concentration-time data will be used for a preliminary assessment of the effect of combination therapy on the single-dose pharmacokinetics of trabectedin and olaparib. The data will be analyzed by noncompartmental methods. Pharmacokinetic parameters for trabectedin: steady state profile, end of infusion concentration, area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), and, if data permit, terminal phase half-life. For these parameters, the following descriptive statistics will be calculated: mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, median, and geometric mean. Any drug-drug interaction will be thoroughly searched. For both trabectedin and olaparib all pharmacokinetic evaluations will be done only for the first 2 cycles.

  8. Pharmacokinetic of olaparib (steady state profile and so maximum concentration, minimal concentration, and AUC will be calculated)

    Time frame: baseline, day -5 cycle 1, day 1 cycle 2, of the first two cycles

    The concentration-time data will be used for a preliminary assessment of the effect of combination therapy on the single-dose pharmacokinetics of trabectedin and olaparib. The data will be analyzed by noncompartmental methods. The following pharmacokinetic parameter values will be obtained for olaparib: steady state profile and so maximum concentration, minimal concentration, and AUC will be calculated. For these parameters, the following descriptive statistics will be calculated: mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, median, and geometric mean. Any drug-drug interaction will be thoroughly searched. For both trabectedin and olaparib all pharmacokinetic evaluations will be done only for the first 2 cycles.

  9. safety evaluated according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v 4.03

    Time frame: baseline up to 28 days after last dose of study treatment up to 2 years

    safety will be evaluated according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v 4.03

  10. Biomarkers (composite outcome)

    Time frame: baseline, day 1-2-8-15 of each cycle up to 2 years

    Several gene assessments (expression, amplification/ deletion, single nucleotide polymorphisms) on DNA-damage response-related markers (including but not limited to BRCA 1-2, ERCC 1-2-5, XRCC 1-2-3, RAD51 and 53BP1, PARP 1-2, P-histone H2AX and others) will be conducted. Statistical analysis will be performed to investigate the association between trial outcomes and polymorphisms of these genes.
