Brief summary

This study is an open-label phase 2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Darolutamide monotherapy in patients with androgen receptor-positive salivary gland carcinoma. Moreover, this study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Darolutamide and Goserelin combination in patients with androgen receptor-positive salivary gland carcinoma.

Interventions

DRUGDarolutamide

Darolutamide at a dose of 600 mg (2 tablets of 300 mg) twice daily with food (equivalent to a daily dose of 1200 mg) will be administered orally.

DRUGGoserelin

Goserelin at a dose of 3.6 mg will be administered subcutaneously every 4 weeks.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Darolutamide monotherapy group: Objective response rate(ORR) assessed by investigatorsUp to 13 monthThe proportion of patients with confirmed tumor response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST 1.1, as assessed by investigators
Darolutamide and Goserelin combination therapy group: Objective response rate(ORR) assessed by an Independent Review CommitteeUp to 13 monthThe proportion of patients with confirmed tumor response of CR or PR per RECIST 1.1, as assessed by an independent review committee

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Duration of Response (DOR)Up to 13 monthDOR will be defined among responders from the date of initial documentation of a response (CR or PR) to the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease as defined in RECIST version 1.1 or death, whichever occurred first.
Best Overall Response (BOR)Up to 13 monthBOR will be defined as the best response recorded from the start of protocol treatment based on RECIST version 1.1
Disease Control Rate (DCR)Up to 13 monthDCR will be defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a confirmed best overall response of CR, PR, or SD for at least 6 weeks based on RECIST version 1.1.
Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)Up to 13 monthCBR will be defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a confirmed best overall response of CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) for at least 24 weeks based on RECIST version 1.1.
Clinical Benefit Duration (CBD)Up to 13 monthCBD will be defined the period starting from the date of enrollment (start of treatment) and ending on the earlier of the date of determination of progression, the date of death from any cause, or the end of the study period.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)Up to 13 monthPFS will be defined as the time from the date of the initial dose of study intervention to the date of first documented disease progression as defined in the RECIST version 1.1, or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first.
Overall Survival (OS)Up to 13 monthOS will be defined as the time from the date of the initial dose of study intervention to the date of the participant's death
Adverse eventsUp to 30 days after the last doseAll adverse events, adverse events with undeniable causal relationship to the investigational drug, severe adverse events (SAEs) and SAEs with undeniable causal relationship to the investigational drug will be evaluated based on CTCAE version 5.0
Quality of Life assessed using the EuroQol-5Dimention-5Level (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaireUp to 30 days after the last doseChanges from baseline to each time point in health-related quality of life will be measured using the European Quality of Life Five Dimension Five Level Scale Assessment Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L). The EQ-5D-5L consists of a description and a health assessment. The health description consists of five dimensions (mobility, self-care, normal activities, pain / discomfort, and anxiety / depression), with each dimension identifying five levels of severity \[best (1) - worst (5)\]. Health assessment is assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS)(\[worse (0) - better (100)\].
Darolutamide monotherapy group: ORR assessed by an Independent Review CommitteeUp to 13 monthThe proportion of patients with confirmed tumor response of CR or PR per RECIST 1.1, as assessed by an independent review committee
Darolutamide and Goserelin combination therapy group: ORR assessed by investigatorsUp to 13 monthThe proportion of patients with confirmed tumor response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST 1.1, as assessed by investigators
Comparison of androgen receptor (AR) test results in Darolutamide and Goserelin combination therapy groupBaselineComparison of AR test results between each institutional and a central assessment
Positivity of Ki-67 in Darolutamide and Goserelin combination therapy groupBaselineThe proportion of patients who have high expression of Ki-67 by a central assessment
