Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a severe genodermatose caused by mutations in COL7A1, characterized by generalized skin blistering and involvement of mucous membranes. Aggressive metastasizing squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are a common complication, which reduce patients’ average life expectancy to less than 40 years. The aim of this study is to evaluate anti-tumor activity of oral Rigosertib, a PLK1 inhibitor, in RDEB patients diagnosed with SCCs.

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: a) Diagnosis of RDEB confirmed by genetic testing or by a skin biopsy with immunofluorescence mapping (IFM). b) 18-79 years of age; c) Diagnosis of unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic SCC confirmed prior to the Screening Visit. d) Failure to respond to RDEB SCC standard of care, such as surgical excision, radiotherapy or conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy with e.g. platin derivates (i.e. cisplatin or carboplatin), 5-fluorouracil, bleomycin, methotrexate, adriamycin, taxanes, gemcitabine or ifosfamide alone or in combination or failure to respond to previous alternative biologic treatments such as epidermal growth factor inhibitors (like cetuximab and panitumumab) or immune checkpoint (programmed cell death 1) inhibitors (such as nivolumab, pembrolizumab, cemiplimab). For recent Guidelines on standard of care for RDEB SCC and non EB-SCC please see Mellerio et al., 2016; Stratigos et al., 2015 and Kim et al., 2018. e) Is not currently receiving any other cancer therapy. f) Measurable disease based on Response Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) g) Patient (or patient’s legally authorized representative) must have signed an informed consent indicating that the patient understands the purpose of and procedures required for the study and is willing to participate in the study. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 10 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 2
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: a) Response to standard of care. b) Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, symptomatic congestive heart failure or unstable angina pectoris. c) Active systemic infection not adequately responding to appropriate therapy. d) Total bilirubin = 1.5 mg/dL (=5.3 mg/dL in patients if related to hemolysis or Gilbert’s disease). e) Alanine transaminase (ALT)/aspartate transaminase (AST) = 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN). f) Serum creatinine =2 .0 mg/dL or eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) <60 mL/min. g) White blood cell count = 2000/µl, neutrophils = 1500/µL, platelets = 100 x103/µL, hemoglobin = 7.9 g/dL. h) Known active HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C, where active is defined as follows: a. HIV or Hepatitis C – presence of viral load; b. Hepatitis B – antigen positive i) Uncorrected hyponatremia (defined as serum sodium value of <125 mmol/L). j) Male patients with partners of child-bearing potential who are unwilling to use male contraception (condom) throughout the study, up to and including the 30-day nontreatment follow-up period. k) Female subjects: pregnant or lactating women and all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant (i.e. women of childbearing potential) UNLESS they are willing to use one or more highly effective and reliable methods of contraception with a Pearl index =1 including combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral or intravaginal or transdermal); progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral or injectable or implantable); an intrauterine device (IUD); an intrauterine hormone-releasing system ( IUS); bilateral tubal occlusion; vasectomised Partner (provided that partner is the sole sexual partner of the WOCBP trial participant and that the vasectomised partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success) or sexual abstinence (The reliability of sexuality abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject). Reliable contraception should be maintained throughout the study. A pregnancy test in serum will be performed at screening in all women of childbearing potential, and in urine at all visits. Any postmenopausal women (physiologic menopause defined as “12 consecutive months of amenorrhea”) or women permanently sterilized (e.g. tubal occlusion, hysterectomy or bilateral salpingectomy) will not be required to undergo pregnancy test. l) Uncontrolled hypertension.

| Main Objective: To estimate the anti-tumor activity of rigosertib in RDEB patients with advanced SCC that has failed prior standard of care. Overall response rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of patients who achieve either a CR or a PR. ;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral rigosertib administered daily for three weeks on, one week off. To evaluate safety and tolerability of rigosertib applied via a 72-hr continous intravenous infusion on days 1, 2, and 3 of a 2-week cycle for the first eight 2-week cycles, then on days 1, 2, and 3 of a 4-week cycle thereafter. Assess impact on quality of life (QoL). Biomarker analysis (to include markers of PI3K/Akt and PLK1 pathways) performed on all archival tissue from all patients. Exome sequencing of patient tumors before, during and after treatment. ;Primary end point(s): The anti-tumor activity of rigosertib in RDEB patients with advanced SCC evaluated by overall response rate (ORR) which is defined as the proportion of patients who achieve either a CR or a PR. Safety and tolerability of rigosertib. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Anti-tumor activitiy: 12 weekly; final analysis after 52 weeks or when treatment stopped for whatever reason. Safety and Tolerability: weekly; final analysis after 52 weeks or when Treatment stopped for whatever reason. | — |
