Brief summary

This study evaluates nirogacestat (PF-03084014) in the treatment of desmoid tumor/aggressive fibromatosis (DT/AF). In the double-blind phase, half of the participants will receive nirogacestat while the other half will receive placebo. Once participants are eligible to roll into the open-label phase, they will receive nirogacestat.

Detailed description

Desmoid tumors, also referred to as aggressive fibromatosis, are rare, locally invasive, slow growing soft tissue tumors. Although considered benign because of their inability to metastasize, desmoid tumors can cause significant morbidity and occasionally mortality in patients. Nirogacestat (PF-03084014) is a potent, small molecule, selective, reversible, noncompetitive inhibitor of γ-secretase (GS) with a potential antitumor activity. Nirogacestat is being investigated for the treatment of desmoid tumors due to its ability to bind to GS, blocking proteolytic activation of Notch receptors. Previous clinical study data have shown that Notch signaling plays an important role in cancer development. Hence, inhibition of Notch signaling is an important strategy for therapeutic treatment.

Objective Response Rate Using RECIST Version 1.1 Criteria.On the first day of every 3 cycles (each cycle is 28 days) through study completion, an average of 2 yearsObjective response rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of participants having a confirmed Best Overall Response (BOR) of CR or PR by central reader using RECIST v1.1 criteria. Responses obtained up until progression, or last evaluable assessment in the absence of progression, will be included in the assessment of ORR. However, any responses, which occurred after a new anticancer therapy was received, will not be included. ORR is presented by percentages of responders.
Change From Baseline at Cycle 10 in the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Average Pain Intensity (API) Score.Daily for the last 7 days of every cycle (each cycle is 28 days) through study completion, an average of 2 yearsThe Brief Pain Inventory consists of 9 questions and utilizes a 11-point Numerical pain Rating Scale from 0-10 measuring severity from "no pain" to "pain as bad as you can imagine," with a 24-hour recall period. Average Pain Intensity is calculated as the 7-day average (when results on at least 4 days for a VISIT are available) of Brief Pain Inventory Question #3 - Worst Pain in last 24 hours. A lower score indicates greater pain relief. The minimum and maximum of the actual score are (0, 8) for Nirogacestat and (0,9) for Placebo, respectively. A positive change from Baseline value indicates worsening of Average Pain Intensity and a negative change from Baseline value indicates improvement of Average Pain Intensity. The minimum and maximum of change from baseline score are (-7, 3) for Nirogacestat and (-5, 5) for Placebo, respectively.

The Total Symptom Score is calculated as the mean of Pain items (Items 1-3) as a single score, then a mean of this with items 4-7). Weekly summary scores will be created by averaging the daily scores over the 7 days period prior to each visit. A weekly score will be derived only if 4 or more out of 7 days period have non-missing scores. The weekly summary score will be used in analyses. If no weekly summary score is calculable, the participant will have data considered as missing at that visit. Higher scores represent worse symptom severity. The minimum and maximum of the actual score are (0,7) for Nirogacestat and (0,10) for Placebo. A positive change from Baseline value indicated worsening of symptoms. The minimum and maximum of change from baseline are (-6,1) for Nirogacestat and (-4,5) for Placebo.

The Physical Function Domain Score are calculated as the average Item 01 Moving, Item 02 Reaching (Freq), Item 06 Vigorous Activity, Item 7 Moderate Activity, and Item 08 Accomplished Less. Higher scores represent worst impact severity. The minimum and maximum of the actual score are (1, 5) for Nirogacestat and (1,5) for Placebo, respectively. A positive change from baseline value indicates worsening impact and a negative change from baseline value indicates improvement in impact. The minimum and maximum of change from baseline score are (-3, 0) for Nirogacestat and (-1, 2) for Placebo, respectively.

Change From Baseline at Cycle 10 in the GOunder/Desmoid Tumor Research Tumor Foundation (DTRF) DEsmoid Tumor Symptom Scale (DTSS) - Total Score

The DEsmoid Tumor Symptom Scale is an 11-point, numeric rating scale from 0 to 10 to measure severity from none to as bad as you can imagine, with a 24-hour recall period. The Total Symptom Score is calculated as the mean of Pain items (Items 1-3) as a single score, then a mean of this with items 4-7). Weekly summary scores will be created by averaging the daily scores over the 7 days period prior to each visit. A weekly score will be derived only if 4 or more out of 7 days period have non-missing scores. The weekly summary score will be used in analyses. If no weekly summary score is calculable, the participant will have data considered as missing at that visit. Higher scores represent worse symptom severity. The minimum and maximum of the actual score are (0,7) for Nirogacestat and (0,10) for Placebo. A positive change from Baseline value indicated worsening of symptoms. The minimum and maximum of change from baseline are (-6,1) for Nirogacestat and (-4,5) for Placebo.

Higher scores represent worst impact severity. The minimum and maximum of the actual score are (1, 5) for Nirogacestat and (1,5) for Placebo, respectively. A positive change from baseline value indicates worsening impact and a negative change from baseline value indicates improvement in impact. The minimum and maximum of change from baseline score are (-3, 0) for Nirogacestat and (-1, 2) for Placebo, respectively.

Time frame: On the last day of every cycle (each cycle is 28 days) through study completion, average of 2 years.

Objective Response Rate Using RECIST Version 1.1 Criteria.

Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of participants having a confirmed Best Overall Response (BOR) of CR or PR by central reader using RECIST v1.1 criteria. Responses obtained up until progression, or last evaluable assessment in the absence of progression, will be included in the assessment of ORR. However, any responses, which occurred after a new anticancer therapy was received, will not be included. ORR is presented by percentages of responders.

Time frame: On the first day of every 3 cycles (each cycle is 28 days) through study completion, an average of 2 years
