Brief summary

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.

Interventions

DRUGtrabectedin

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

DRUGolaparib

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

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
maximum tolerated dosefrom start up to 6 weekssafety will be evaluated according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v 4.03

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Clinical Benefit Ratebaseline and every 2 cycles (6 weeks +/- 1 week) up to 2 yearsClinical 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.
Growth Modulation Indexbaseline and every 2 cycles (6 weeks +/- 1 week) up to 2 yearsGrowth 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.
Overall Survivalbaseline and up to 2 yearstime from the date of enrollment to date of death or to the date being censored at two years (whichever occurs first).
Duration of Tumor Responsebaseline and every 2 cycles (6 weeks +/- 1 week) up to 2 yearsDuration 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.
Best Overall Responsebaseline and every 2 cycles (6 weeks +/- 1 week) up to 2 yearsbest overall response will be defined according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor version 1.1 (RECIST v 1.1)
Pharmacokinetic of trabectedin (AUC)baseline, days 1-2-3-4-5-8-15 of the first two cyclesThe 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.
Pharmacokinetic of olaparib (steady state profile and so maximum concentration, minimal concentration, and AUC will be calculated)baseline, day -5 cycle 1, day 1 cycle 2, of the first two cyclesThe 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.
safety evaluated according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v 4.03baseline up to 28 days after last dose of study treatment up to 2 yearssafety will be evaluated according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v 4.03
Biomarkers (composite outcome)baseline, day 1-2-8-15 of each cycle up to 2 yearsSeveral 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.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)baseline and every 2 cycles (6 weeks +/- 1 week) up to 2 yearsPFS 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.
