Brief summary

Protocol PEN-221-001 is an open-label, multicenter Phase 1/2a study evaluating PEN-221 in patients with SSTR2 expressing advanced gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) or lung or thymus or other neuroendocrine tumors or small cell lung cancer or large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung.

Detailed description

Protocol PEN-221-001 will first enroll patients into a dose escalation phase, where a Bayesian logistic regression model, guided by the escalation with overdose control principle and overseen by a safety review committee, will be used to make dose recommendations and estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Once the MTD has been confirmed, remaining patients will be enrolled into a full expansion phase to assess PEN-221 efficacy in patients with gastrointestinal mid-gut neuroendocrine tumors or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors or small cell lung cancer.

Interventions

DRUGPEN-221

PEN-221 administered IV over 1 hour on an every 3-week cycle (21 days +/- 2 days) starting dose of 1 mg with each subsequent cohort increased starting dose level until MTD is reached.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose of PEN-221 and Recommended Phase 2a Dose (RP2D)Up to 4 weeks in the first cohort and up to 3 weeks for each subsequent cohortMTD was determined by testing increasing doses up to 25 mg flat dose IV over 1 hour on an every 3 week cycle on dose escalation cohorts 1 to 7 with 2 participants in cohort 1 and 3-6 participants each in cohorts 2-7. The MTD was defined as the highest drug dosage not causing a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) in \> 33% of the treated participants during the first cycle of treatment. DLTs were defined as any Grade 3 or 4 adverse event (AE) using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.03 occurring within the first 4 weeks for cohort 1 and within 3 weeks for each subsequent cohort that was not related to underlying disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications. The RP2D was established by achieving the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). The RP2D may be equal to or below the MTD.
Phase 1: Number of Participants Who Experienced Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)Up to 4 weeks in the first cohort and up to 3 weeks for each subsequent cohortDLTs were defined as any Grade 3 or 4 adverse event (AE) using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.03 occurring within the first 4 weeks for cohort 1 and within 3 weeks for each subsequent cohort that was not related to underlying disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications. Grade 3 is a severe AE and Grade 4 is a life-threatening or disabling AE. DLTs were collected to determine the Maximum-Tolerated Dose (MTD), which is defined as the dose level below the dose at which \> 33% of participants experienced a DLT during the first cycle of treatment.

Outcome results

Primary

Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose of PEN-221 and Recommended Phase 2a Dose (RP2D)

MTD was determined by testing increasing doses up to 25 mg flat dose IV over 1 hour on an every 3 week cycle on dose escalation cohorts 1 to 7 with 2 participants in cohort 1 and 3-6 participants each in cohorts 2-7. The MTD was defined as the highest drug dosage not causing a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) in \> 33% of the treated participants during the first cycle of treatment. DLTs were defined as any Grade 3 or 4 adverse event (AE) using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.03 occurring within the first 4 weeks for cohort 1 and within 3 weeks for each subsequent cohort that was not related to underlying disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications. The RP2D was established by achieving the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). The RP2D may be equal to or below the MTD.

Time frame: Up to 4 weeks in the first cohort and up to 3 weeks for each subsequent cohort

Population: All Phase 1 participants who received at least one dose of PEN-221 and either experienced a DLT or had been followed for the full DLT evaluation period.

Number of Study Participants Who Experienced Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

Phase 1 and Phase 2a participants who experienced any Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) to determine the safety and tolerability of PEN-221. TEAEs are any AE that occurred after first dose of study drug through 28 days after the last dose of study drug, any event considered study drug related regardless of start date of the event, or any event that was present at baseline but worsened in intensity or was subsequently considered study drug related by the Investigator. Phase 2a TEAEs were collected for reporting in the BSA dosing format only.

Time frame: From date of first treatment/trial entry until 28 days after last treatment for each participant, up to data cut-off (31 Jul 2020).

Population: The Safety Analysis population was comprised of all enrolled participants who received any amount of study drug and had at least 1 post-baseline safety evaluation. All non-BSA based doses in Phase 2a were converted to BSA dosing units.~Participants dosed under the initial MTD dosing regimen were assigned to the \< 8.8 mg/m\^2 or \> 8.8 mg/m\^2 dose groups based on the BSA conversion of the initial study dose.

Phase 2a: Duration of Response (DOR) for Gastrointestinal Mid-gut NETs (GI Mid-gut NET) and Pancreatic NETs (PNET)

Duration of Response (DOR) is defined as the time from the first documented response (CR or PR), as assessed by the investigator, to the date of first documented disease progression or death due to underlying cancer. If a patient did not progress or die before the data cutoff date (31 Jul 2020), DOR was censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment.

Time frame: For each GI mid-gut NET and PNET participant, from the date of first treatment through the date of first documented progression, assessed up to data cutoff (31 Jul 2020)

Population: Outcome measured by cancer type. GI mid-gut NET cohort and PNET cohort participants who received any amount of study drug and had at least 1 post-baseline efficacy assessment (RECIST 1.1). No participants in the GI mid-gut NET cohort or PNET cohort had an objective response, so no data is presented for this Outcome Measure

Phase 2a: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2a Dose (RP2D) Based on Body Surface Area

Confirm the MTD identified during the dose-escalation phase and further investigate the safety and tolerability of the RP2D and schedule of PEN-221. Initial Phase 2a PEN-221 start dose at Phase 1 MTD and RP2D was determined at 18 mg flat dose. The MTD was defined as the highest drug dosage not causing a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) in \> 33% of the treated participants during the first cycle of treatment. DLTs were defined as any Grade 3 or 4 adverse event (AE) using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.03 occurring within the first 4 weeks for cohort 1 and within 3 weeks for each subsequent cohort that was not related to underlying disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications. The RP2D was established by achieving the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). The RP2D may be equal to or below the MTD.

Time frame: From date of first treatment/trial entry until 28 days after last treatment for each Phase 2a participant, up to data cut-off (31 Jul 2020)

Population: All Phase 2a participants who received any amount of study drug and had at least 1 post-baseline safety evaluation. SRC reviewed all Phase 1 and 31 Phase 2a participants and changed flat dose (mg) to Body Surface Area (BSA) based dose of 8.8 mg/m\^2 due to correlation between BSA and drug exposure associated with higher rate of participant discontinuation. Calculated BSA capped at 2.0 m\^2 so not to exceed Phase 1 MTD of 18 mg. Phase 2a data collected for reporting in the BSA dosing format only.
