COMPOUNDS FOR TREATING SOLID TUMORS HAVING ACTIVATING FGFR2 GENE ALTERATIONSCROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 63 / 604,042, filed November 29, 2023, and 63 / 610,444, filed December 15, 2023, the entireties of which are incorporated herein.TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The disclosure is directed to methods of treating cancer using an FGFR2 inhibitor.BACKGROUND
[0003] The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family of receptor tyrosine kinases is composed of four highly conserved membrane-associated proteins (FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, and FGFR4) that function to regulate cellular growth, differentiation, and homeostasis. The molecular structures of the FGFRs contain an extracellular domain, transmembrane domain, and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. The activity of the intracellular kinase domain is modulated by interactions of the extracellular domain with members of the FGF family of ligands. Twenty -two FGF family members have been identified, eighteen of which are secreted and act as ligands for the FGFRs. Most of the FGF ligands act locally in a paracrine fashion affecting neighboring cells, while three of the FGFs (FGF19, FGF21, and FGF23) circulate in the blood and act in an endocrine fashion to regulate FGFRs in distant tissues. When activated, FGFRs stimulate multiple cellular pathways including proliferation. See Xie Y, Su N, Yang J, et al. FGF / FGFR signaling in health and disease. Signal Transduct Target Ther. 2020;5(l): 181.
[0004] The four FGFRs are structurally homologous but have specific physiologic roles depending on their tissue expression and ligand interactions. The functions of these receptors are often redundant and overlapping, and include roles in embryogenesis, tissue homeostasis, tissue repair, apoptosis, and cellular migration. See Yue S, Li Y, Chen X, et al. FGFR-TKI resistance in cancer: current status and perspectives. J Hematol Oncol. 2021; 14:23. Germline mutations in the receptors can be associated with genetic disorders (e.g., a point mutation in FGFR3 can lead to achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism in humans).
[0005] In the FGFR family of receptors, oncogenic alterations can occur in the ligand-binding and transmembrane domains, acting as constitutive activators, as well as directly in the intracellular kinase domain. Likewise, in addition to mutations, oncogenesis can occur in the FGFRs through gene rearrangements and gene amplifications. Activating mutations, fusions, or amplifications trigger multiple intracellular pathways, such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphoinositide 3 -kinase pathways, that are common with other oncogenes. See Facchinetti F, Hollebecque A, Bahleda R, et al. Facts and new hopes on selective FGFR inhibitors in solid tumors. Clin Cancer Res. 2020;26(4):764-74. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) it has been shown that 7.1% of cancers have some form of FGFR alteration with gene amplification being the most common (66%), followed by activating mutations (26%). The most common cancers manifesting mutations appear to be urothelial (32%), breast (18%), endometrial (13%), lung (13%), and ovarian (9%). See Helsten T, Elkin S, Arthur E, Tomson BN, Carter J, Kurzrock R. The FGFR Landscape in Cancer: Analysis of 4,853 Tumors by Next-Generation Sequencing. Clin Cancer Res. 2016;22(l):259-67.
[0006] Cholangiocarcinoma is an aggressive epithelial tumor that is classified as intrahepatic, perihilar, and distal on the basis of its anatomic location in the biliary tree. See Rizvi S, Khan SA, Hallemeier CL, et al. Cholangiocarcinoma - evolving concepts and therapeutic strategies. Nat Rev Clin Oncol. 2018; 15(2):95- 111. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a rare tumor, accounting for only 3% of gastrointestinal malignancies worldwide. Diagnosis of ICC can be difficult as early-stage disease is often clinically silent and non-specific symptoms, such as dull abdominal pain, weight loss, and elevated liver enzymes, may not be present until later in the disease course. See id. The median overall survival for patients diagnosed with late-stage disease is less than 1 year. The incidence of ICC appears to have risen in the past several decades, although it is not clear whether this is simply due to improvements in the diagnosis of ICC, where previously some ICC may have been classified as a carcinoma of unknown primary. See Bridgewater J, Galle PR, Khan SA, et al. Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. J Hepatol. 2014;60(6): 1268-1289.
[0007] Current approved and late-stage pan -FGFR inhibitors are susceptible to acquired resistance mutations in the gatekeeper and molecular brake of the FGFR2 kinasedomain. Resistance to FGFR2 inhibitors is often polyclonal, as detected by ctDNA in patients who progress on-treatment with current generation therapies.
[0008] Thus, a need exists for methods of treating cancers that have activating FGFR2 gene alterations using isoform-selective FGFR2 inhibitors.

[0101] This open-label, first-in-human study is designed to evaluate Formula (I) in participants with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and other solid tumors with gene alterations of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) / fibroblast growth factor (FGF) pathway. This is a dose-escalation / dose-expansion study to be conducted in 2 parts.
[0102] The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary antitumor activity of Formula (I) in cancers with FGFR2 activating gene alterations, including unresectable locally advanced / metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and other advanced solid tumors.
[0103] This is a single arm, multi-part, phase 1 clinical trial studying Formula(I), a novel, potent fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 1 / 2 / 3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in unresectable locally advanced / metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and other advanced solid tumors with activating alterations in FGFR2. Part A is a dose escalation study in participants with any advanced solid tumor with FGFR / FGF pathway alterations who have exhausted approved standard therapies. Part A evaluates the safety,tolerability, and PK of Formula (I) to determine the optimal and maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Part B evaluates the preliminary antitumor activity of Formula (I) in participants with unresectable locally advanced / metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who have previously received an FGFR inhibitor and have FGFR2 kinase-domain mutations resistant to other FGFR inhibitors.Phase 1, Part A: Dose Escalation
[0104] Participants with any advanced solid tumor with FGFR / FGF pathway alterations (including FGFR gene mutations, fusions, and amplifications, as well as FGFR ligand amplifications) who have exhausted or refused approved standard therapies are eligible to be enrolled in Part A. Formula (I) is taken once daily by mouth in 28-day cycles starting at 5 mg daily. The Formula (I) starting dose in Part A will be 5 mg daily dose level (DL; DL1), with an anticipated dose-escalation schema as follows:• DLl : 5 mg daily• DL2: 10 mg daily• DL3 : 20 mg daily• DL4: 40 mg daily• DL5 : 60 mg daily• DL6: 90 mg daily• In some aspects, dose escalation may increase beyond 90 mg daily, with additional doses including DL7: 100 mg daily, DL8: 110 mg daily, DL9: 120 mg / daily, DL10: 130 mg / daily, DL11: 140 mg / daily, DL12: 150 mg / daily, DL13: 160 mg / daily, DL14: 170 mg / daily, DL15: 180 mg / daily, DL16: 190 mg / daily, DL17: 200 mg / daily.
[0105] The study uses an i3 + 3 design with a target toxicity rate of the highest DL tested of 0.3 (0.25 to 0.33). Each DL is assessed through the DLT evaluation period (Cycle 1 [28 days]) before the next DL can be enrolled. Depending on the number of participants and the number of DLTs observed, the decision is to escalate to a higher dose or continue enrollment in the highest dose (E), stay at the same dose (S), de-escalate to the previous lower dose (D), or de-escalate to the previous lower dose and never repeat the current dose (DU).
[0106] Initial DLs proceed in an accelerated fashion, monitoring toxicity in 1 participant during the DLT evaluation period. Any > Grade 2 AE, irrespective of relatedness to study treatment (unless there is a clear alternative cause), constitutes a DLT in these singleparticipant cohorts. If a DLT occurs, the dose escalation converts to i3 + 3 and further DLTs are determined using the standard DLT definitions in the protocol (Section 3.1.7). If no > Grade 2 AE occurs, the next participant is enrolled to the next higher DL. Incremental escalation in single-participant cohorts is up to 100% of the previous dose until a > Grade 2 AE is encountered, or until DL3 is completed. If DL3 is completed as a single-participant cohort, DL4 begins enrollment as i3 + 3.
[0107] After completion of accelerated dose escalation, all subsequent DLs use i3 + 3 criteria and enroll a minimum of 3 participants per DL using the standard study DLT definitions. Subsequent dose escalation increments are no more than 30 to 50% of the previous dose. Intermediate DLs also are explored. Dose escalation continues until the i3 + 3 criteria indicate that further dose escalation should not continue based on the incidence of DLTs at the highest DL tested.Phase 1, Part B: Dose Expansion
[0108] Part B begins once dose escalation in Part A is completed. Dose expansion is conducted in participants with FGFR2-mutated ICC with secondary FGFR resistance mutations arising from treatment with a prior FGFR inhibitor. The purpose of Part B is to obtain additional safety data at the defined dose(s), explore pharmacodynamics and biomarkers in depth, and evaluate the preliminary anti -turn or activity of Formula (I) in participants who have benefited from, but then experienced disease progression, with a prior FGFR inhibitor due to kinase domain resistance mutations. Formula (I) is taken once daily by mouth in 28-day cycles.
[0109] Eligible FGFR2 gene mutations are listed in the table below.Eligible On-Target Acquired Resistance Mutations for Participants in Part B
[0110] Two doses are selected to be evaluated in Part B. Dose B 1 is not higher than the highest tolerated dose (HTD) in Part A. Dose B2 is a lower dose, but may be an intermediate dose between 2 tolerated doses in Part A. Participants are alternatively assigned to 1 of the 2 DLs as they are enrolled. Up to 10 participants are evaluated at each DL for biomarker analysis and preliminary anti-tumor activity. Participants who receive Dose B2 with stable disease at the end of 6 cycles may be escalated to Dose Bl with medical monitor approval if they meet all other criteria for intraparticipant dose escalation as outlined in the Intra-participant Dose Escalation Decisions section below.Intra-participant Dose Escalation Decisions
[0111] In Part A, intra-participant dose escalation is allowed for participants in lower dose cohorts under the following circumstances:• The participant must have completed at least 2 cycles of Formula (I) and have at least 1 postbaseline tumor imaging assessment.• A higher dose has been cleared in dose escalation and was deemed to be tolerated.• The participant has not had a > Grade 2 treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) on any previous cycle of Formula (I).• A > Grade 3 TRAE has not occurred in any participant in the DL to which the participant is to be escalated.• In the opinion of the investigator, and with approval from the medical monitor, a higher dose under study in an enrolling or completed DL may be safe and potentially more effective in treating the participant’s tumor than the current dose.
[0112] Participants with a partial tumor response at a lower dose should remain on the lower dose. If disease progression occurs due to a newly acquired resistance mutation, theparticipant may be allowed to increase to a higher dose if data suggest that the resistance mutation may respond at a higher dose of Formula (I), with medical monitor approval and they meet the criteria described in the Treatment Beyond Disease Progression section below.Treatment Beyond Disease Progression
[0113] In both Parts A and B, participants with evidence of progressive disease (PD), as defined by RECIST vl.l, continue to receive Formula (I) if, in the opinion of the investigator and with approval from the medical monitor, the participant is deriving benefit from continuing Formula (I). The following criteria must be met in order to provide assurance that the participant is not exposed to an unreasonable risk:• Absence of signs and symptoms indicating clinically significant progression of disease.• No decline in Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance (ECOG PS).• Absence of symptomatic rapid disease progression requiring urgent medical intervention (eg, symptomatic pleural effusion, spinal cord compression, etc).
[0114] At the time of radiographic progression, participants are also reconsented and provided with details of all approved therapies, and potential clinical benefits that the participant may be foregoing in order to continue receiving Formula (I).Doses are increased no more than 30 to 50% of the previous dose after accelerated dosing; intermediate doses may be explored. The SRC will oversee participant safety and determine whether the i3 + 3 criteria indicate that higher DLs should no longer be evaluated. A participant may be replaced if they do not receive at least 75% of the planned dose during the DLT evaluation period for reasons other than a TRAE or if they discontinue the study for non-DLT reasons during the DLT evaluation period.Dose Escalation Decisions - Phase 1, Part A and B
[0115] In general, dose escalation and expansion proceed according to the i3 + 3.
[0116] If any of the study stopping criteria are met within a DL, further enrollment into that level does not proceed until all safety data from participants at that dose are reviewed. If the decision is made not to initiate a new DL before all planned prior levels are completed, it is not considered as premature study termination. Following the review of safety data, 1 of the following recommendations are made:• To continue with the study as planned (i.e., there are no significant safety concerns) or with appropriate study amendments to address emerging safety risks.• To continue with the study but at a dose between the current dose and the next planned dose, or at a dose between the current dose and the previous lower dose.• To continue with the study but expand either the current DL, or a higher / lower dose, by an appropriate number of participants for a more detailed safety evaluation.• To terminate the study.Definition of Dose-limiting Toxicities
[0117] For an AE to qualify as a DLT it must be causally related to Formula (I) (not all causally related AEs are regarded as a DLT). A DLT is defined as any of the following occurring during Cycle 1 of a DL and regarded by the investigators and / or sponsor to be related to Formula (I). The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 will be used to assess toxicities / AEs.Hematological Dose Limiting Toxicities• Any Grade 4 toxicity• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) <500 / mm3for more than 7 days• Febrile neutropenia (a disorder characterized by an ANC <l,000 / mm3and a single temperature >38.3°C or a sustained temperature of >38.0°C for more than 1 hour); or Grade 3 neutropenia that lasts for more than 7 days with or without drug intervention• Platelets <25,000 / mm3• Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with any clinically significant bleeding (ie, need for medical intervention)Nonhematologic Dose Limiting Toxicities• Any Grade 4 toxicity, regardless of response to treatment• Any Grade 3 toxicity, except the following: o Grade 3 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea of <72 hours duration o Grade 3 fatigue for <1 weeko > Grade 3 electrolyte abnormality (excluding hyperphosphatemia) that lasts up to 72 hours, is not clinically complicated, and resolves spontaneously or responds to conventional medical interventions o > Grade 3 amylase or lipase that is not associated with symptoms or clinical or radiographic manifestations of pancreatitis• Grade 3 hyperphosphatemia (severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization indicated) regardless of resolution with phosphate binders will be considered a DLT• Hy’s law o Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >3 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and o Total bilirubin (TBil) >2 x ULN and o Alkaline phosphatase <2 x ULN and o No other reason for liver injury• Any AST or ALT elevation >8 x ULN regardless of duration and AST or ALT evaluation 5 to 8 x ULN that persists for greater than 2 weeks - all regardless of the presence or absence of liver metastasis• Dose delay of >14 days for the study drug due to an AE• Any death not clearly due to the underlying disease or extraneous causesMiscellaneous Dose Limiting Toxicities
[0118] In case an unexpected drug-related toxicity is seen more frequently, this toxicity may be declared a DLT for the remainder of the study after thorough consultation between the investigator, the sponsor, and the SRC.
[0119] Any toxicity thought to be related to Formula (I) that, at the discretion of the investigator, or their designated associate(s), is thought to warrant withholding the drug for >7 days during the DLT evaluation period. Such toxicities might be Grade 1 or Grade 2 toxicities which interfere with the activities of daily life (eg, long-lasting fatigue or anorexia), making a dose interrupt! on / reducti on necessary in order to ensure the participant’s compliance. Examples may include Grade 2 nail loss or Grade 3 paronychia that does not improve after 4 weeks of supportive treatment.
[0120] In single-participant cohorts, any > Grade 2 AE, irrespective of relatedness to study treatment (unless there is a clear alternative cause), will constitute a DLT. Following conversion to an i3 + 3 design, all subsequent dose escalation decisions use the standard study DLT definitions described above.
[0121] Results from the dose escalation and dose expansion cohorts are analyzed for safety, as well as potential relationships between dose, PK, biomarkers of target engagement, and preliminary antitumor activity of Formula (I).Study Stopping Criteria
[0122] The study is terminated at any time if the incidence and severity of AEs in this study suggest that the risk-benefit to participants is no longer appropriate to continue the study. Examples include, but are not limited to, cases of severe liver toxicity without an underlying cause or unexplained participant deaths not due to disease progression or extraneous causes.Study Duration
[0123] All enrolled participants receive Formula (I) until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of participant’s consent for treatment, withdrawal from the study at the discretion of the investigator, or study termination, whichever occurs first.Planned The total number of participants enrolled depends on the number ofSample Size escalation cohorts and the number of dose expansion cohorts and evaluated. It is estimated that up to 20 participants could be enrolled Treatment in Part A and up to 20 participants in Part B. No formal sample size Group(s): calculation was performed. The sample size in Part A is dictated by the i3 + 3 design. Expansion in Part B enrolls up to 10 participants per dose tested.Target Part A: Participants with any advanced solid tumor with anPopulation: FGFR / FGF pathway alteration, including FGFR gene mutations, fusions, and amplifications, as well as FGFR ligand amplifications.PartB: Participants with locally advanced / metastatic ICC with an oncogenic / likely oncogenic FGFR2 gene alteration previously treated with an FGFR inhibitor(s) who have defined resistance mutations in the FGFR2 kinase domain.Eligibility General Study Inclusion CriteriaCriteria:1.

On Cycle 1, Day 1 and Cycle 1, Day 15, Formula (I) should be administered after a >2- hour fast and participants should remain fasted for >2 hours after administration.1 cycle = 4 weeks (28 days).Unscheduled visits are held at any time, at the investigator’s discretion, and appropriate clinical assessments and laboratory measurements are performed based on adverse events or other findings. Data and results should be entered in the electronic case report form. A PK blood sample is to be collected at any unscheduled visit due to an adverse event. The last study drug administration date and time, and the PK sampling time (24-hour clock time) should be accurately recorded.Participants are followed up for safety (via telephone or video contact) 28 days (+7 days) after the last dose of study drug. Subsequent anticancer therapy is also collected.cParticipants are followed up for survival every 3 months (±15 days) until the participant withdraws consent for further participation, is lost to follow-up, has died, or study closure.

[0124] Efficacy Assessments
[0125] Baseline tumor assessment are completed within 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug. It is recommended to perform CT of the chest, abdomen, pelvic cavity, and any other location where disease is present at baseline; additional tumor imaging evaluation must be performed if clinically indicated or if suspicious lesions are identified in other areas. Baseline brain MRI is not required unless there is a prior history of brain metastases or neurologic symptoms suggestive of new brain metastases. The preferred tumor imaging assessment modality is CT with IV contrast; however, noncontrast CT of the chest and MRI of the abdomen and pelvis are permitted if IV contrast is clinically contraindicated. Baseline and postbaseline efficacy assessments are performed using the same imaging method and, as far as possible, by the same investigator (RECIST vl.l).
[0126] Tumor imaging assessment should be performed every 8 weeks (±7 days) until Cycle 13, Day 1, and then every 12 weeks (±7 days) thereafter, regardless of study treatment status, until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of participant’s consent for treatment, or withdrawal from the study at the discretion of the investigator, whichever occurs first. The timing of tumor imaging assessments is calculated based on the date of the first dose of study drug (ie, Cycle 1, Day 1). Participants who discontinue study drug for reasons other than disease progression or death should continue imaging assessments per the protocol-defined schedule until disease progression, death, withdrawal of participant’s consent for treatment, or withdrawal from the study at the discretion of the investigator. If an imaging result shows complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) for the first time, it is necessary to repeat the tumor imaging no earlier than 4 weeks later to confirm the response.
[0127] Efficacy assessments include ORR, DCR, DOR, and TTR (RECIST vl. l).
[0128] Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Guidelines:
[0129] The RECIST vl .1 guideline is presented below. See Eisenhauser EA, Therasse P, Bogaerts J, et al. New response evaluation criteria in solid tumours: Revised RECIST guideline (version 1.1). Eur J Cancer. 2009;45:228-47.
[0130] Definitions
[0131] At baseline, tumor lesions / lymph nodes are categorized measurable or nonmeasurable as follows: Measurable
[0132] Tumor lesions: Must be accurately measured in at least 1 dimension (longest diameter in the plane of measurement is to be recorded) with a minimum size of:• 10 mm by CT scan (CT scan slice thickness no greater than 5 mm).• 10 mm caliper measurement by clinical exam (lesions that cannot be accurately measured with calipers should be recorded as nonmeasurable).• 20 mm by chest x-ray.
[0133] Malignant lymph nodes: To be considered pathologically enlarged and measurable, a lymph node must be >15 mm in short axis when assessed by CT scan (CT scan slice thickness recommended to be no greater than 5 mm). At baseline and in follow-up, only the short axis is measured and followed.Nonmeasurable
[0134] All other lesions, including small lesions (longest diameter <10 mm or pathological lymph nodes with >10 to <15 mm short axis) as well as truly nonmeasurable lesions. Lesions considered truly nonmeasurable include leptomeningeal disease, ascites, pleural or pericardial effusion, inflammatory breast disease, lymphangitic involvement of skin or lung, abdominal masses / abdominal organomegaly identified by physical exam that is not measurable by reproducible imaging techniques.Special Considerations Regarding Lesion MeasurabilityBone lesions:Bone scan, positron emission tomography (PET) scan or plain films are not considered adequate imaging techniques to measure bone lesions. However, these techniques can be used to confirm the presence or disappearance of bone lesions.• Lytic bone lesions or mixed lytic-blastic lesions, with identifiable soft tissue components, which can be evaluated by cross-sectional imaging techniques such as CT or MRI can be considered as measurable lesions if the soft tissue component meets the definition of measurability described above.• Blastic bone lesions are nonmeasurable. Cystic lesions:• Lesions that meet the criteria for radiographically defined simple cysts should not be considered as malignant lesions (neither measurable nor nonmeasurable) since they are, by definition, simple cysts.• “Cystic lesions” thought to represent cystic metastases can be considered as measurable lesions if they meet the definition of measurability described above. However, if noncystic lesions are present in the same participant, these are preferred for selection as target lesions.Lesions with prior local treatment:
[0135] Tumor lesions situated in a previously irradiated area, or in an area subjected to other locoregional therapy, are usually not considered measurable unless there has been demonstrated progression in the lesion. Study protocols should detail the conditions under which such lesions would be considered measurable.• Method of AssessmentMeasurement of Lesions
[0136] All measurements should be recorded in metric notation, using calipers if clinically assessed. All baseline evaluations should be performed as close as possible to the treatment start and never more than 4 weeks before the beginning of the treatment.
[0137] The same method of assessment and the same technique should be used to characterize each identified and reported lesion at baseline and during follow-up. Imaging based evaluation should always be done rather than clinical examination unless the lesion(s) being followed cannot be imaged but are assessable by clinical exam.• Clinical lesions: Clinical lesions are only considered measurable when they are superficial and >10 mm diameter as assessed using calipers (eg, skin nodules). For the case of skin lesions, documentation by color photography including a ruler to estimate the size of the lesion is suggested. As noted above, when lesions can be evaluated byboth clinical exam and imaging, imaging evaluation should be undertaken since it is more objective and may also be reviewed at the end of the study.• Chest x-ray: Chest CT is preferred over chest x-ray, particularly when progression is an important endpoint, since CT is more sensitive than x-ray, particularly in identifying new lesions. However, lesions on chest x-ray may be considered measurable if they are clearly defined and surrounded by aerated lung.• CT, MRI: CT is the best currently available and reproducible method to measure lesions selected for response assessment. This guideline has defined measurability of lesions on CT scan based on the assumption that CT slice thickness is 5 mm or less. When CT scans have slice thickness greater than 5 mm, the minimum size for a measurable lesion should be twice the slice thickness. MRI is also acceptable in certain situations (eg, for body scans).• Ultrasound: Ultrasound is not useful in assessment of lesion size and should not be used as a method of measurement. Ultrasound examinations cannot be reproduced in their entirety for independent review at a later date and, because they are operator dependent, it cannot be guaranteed that the same technique and measurements will be taken from 1 assessment to the next. If new lesions are identified by ultrasound in the course of the study, confirmation by CT or MRI is advised. If there is concern about radiation exposure at CT, MRI may be used instead of CT in selected instances.• Endoscopy, laparoscopy: The utilization of these techniques for objective tumor evaluation is not advised. However, they can be useful to confirm complete pathological response when biopsies are obtained or to determine relapse in studies where recurrence following CR or surgical resection is an endpoint.• Tumor markers: Tumor markers alone cannot be used to assess objective tumor response. If markers are initially above the upper normal limit, however, they must normalize for a participant to be considered in CR. Because tumor markers are disease specific, instructions for their measurement should be incorporated into protocols on a disease specific basis. Specific guidelines for both CA-125 response (in recurrent ovarian cancer) and prostate-specific antigen response (in recurrent prostate cancer) have been published. In addition, the Gynecologic Cancer Intergroup has developed CA125 progression criteria that are to be integrated with objective tumor assessment for use in first-line studies in ovarian cancer.• Cytology, histology: These techniques can be used to differentiate between PR and CR in rare cases if required by protocol (eg, residual lesions in tumor types such as germ cell tumors, where known residual benign tumors can remain). When effusions are known to be a potential adverse effect of treatment (eg, with certain taxane compounds or angiogenesis inhibitors), the cytological confirmation of the neoplastic origin of any effusion that appears or worsens during treatment can be considered if the measurabletumor has met criteria for response or SD in order to differentiate between response (or SD) and PD.
[0138] Response CriteriaEvaluation of Target Lesions• CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or nontarget) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm.• PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.• PD: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm (note: the appearance of 1 or more new lesions is also considered progression).• SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameters while on study.• Lymph nodes: Lymph nodes identified as target lesions should always have the actual short axis measurement recorded (measured in the same anatomical plane as the baseline examination), even if the nodes regress to below 10 mm on study. This means that when lymph nodes are included as target lesions, the “sum” of lesions may not be zero even if CR criteria are met, since a normal lymph node is defined as having a short axis of <10 mm. eCRFs or other data collection methods may therefore be designed to have target nodal lesions recorded in a separate section where, in order to qualify for CR, each node must achieve a short axis <10 mm. For PR, SD, and PD, the actual short axis measurement of the nodes is to be included in the sum of target lesions.• Target lesions that become “too small to measure ”: While on study, all lesions (nodal and non-nodal) recorded at baseline should have their actual measurements recorded at each subsequent evaluation, even when very small (eg, 2 mm). However, sometimes lesions or lymph nodes that are recorded as target lesions at baseline become so faint on CT scans that the radiologist may not feel comfortable assigning an exact measure and may report them as being “too small to measure.” When this occurs it is important that a value be recorded on the eCRF. If it is the opinion of the radiologist that the lesion has likely disappeared, the measurement should be recorded as 0 mm. If the lesion is believed to be present and is faintly seen but too small to measure, a default value of 5 mm should be assigned (note: it is less likely that this rule will be used for lymph nodes since they usually have a definable size when normal and are frequently surrounded by fat such as in the retroperitoneum; however, if a lymph node is believed to be presentand is faintly seen but too small to measure, a default value of 5 mm should be assigned in this circumstance as well). This default value is derived from the 5 mm CT slice thickness (but should not be changed with varying CT slice thickness). The measurement of these lesions is potentially nonreproducible; therefore, providing this default value will prevent false responses or progressions based upon measurement error. To reiterate, however, if the radiologist is able to provide an actual measure, that should be recorded, even if it is below 5 mm.• Lesions that split or coalesce on treatment: When non-nodal lesions “fragment,” the longest diameters of the fragmented portions should be added together to calculate the target lesion sum. Similarly, as lesions coalesce, a plane between them may be maintained that would aid in obtaining maximal diameter measurements of each individual lesion. If the lesions have truly coalesced such that they are no longer separable, the vector of the longest diameter in this instance should be the maximal longest diameter for the “coalesced lesion.”Evaluation of Nontarget Lesions
[0139] While some nontarget lesions may actually be measurable, they need not be measured and instead should be assessed only qualitatively at the time points specified in the protocol.• CR: Disappearance of all nontarget lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. All lymph nodes must be nonpathological in size (<10 mm short axis).• Non-CR / Non-PD: Persistence of 1 or more nontarget lesion(s) and / or maintenance of tumor marker level above the normal limits.• PD: Unequivocal progression (see comments below) of existing nontarget lesions (note: the appearance of 1 or more new lesions is also considered progression).• When the participant also has measurable disease: In this setting, to achieve “unequivocal progression” on the basis of the nontarget disease, there must be an overall level of substantial worsening in nontarget disease such that, even in presence of SD or PR in target disease, the overall tumor burden has increased sufficiently to merit discontinuation of therapy (see further details below). A modest “increase” in the size of 1 or more nontarget lesions is usually not sufficient to qualify for unequivocal progression status. The designation of overall progression solely on the basis of change in nontarget disease in the face of SD or PR of target disease will therefore be extremely rare.• When the participant has only nonmeasurable disease: This circumstance arises in some Phase 3 studies when it is not a criterion of study entry to have measurable disease. The same general concepts apply here as noted above; however, in this instance there is no measurable disease assessment to factor into the interpretation of an increase in nonmeasurable disease burden. Because worsening in nontarget disease cannot be easily quantified (by definition: if all lesions are truly nonmeasurable) a useful test that can be applied when assessing participants for unequivocal progression is to consider if theincrease in overall disease burden based on the change in nonmeasurable disease is comparable in magnitude to the increase that would be required to declare PD for measurable disease: ie, an increase in tumor burden representing an additional 73% increase in “volume” (which is equivalent to a 20% increase diameter in a measurable lesion). Examples include an increase in a pleural effusion from “trace” to “large,” an increase in lymphangitic disease from localised to widespread, or may be described in protocols as “sufficient to require a change in therapy.” If “unequivocal progression” is seen, the participant should be considered to have had overall PD at that point. While it would be ideal to have objective criteria to apply to nonmeasurable disease, the very nature of that disease makes it impossible to do so; therefore, the increase must be substantial.New Lesions
[0140] The appearance of new malignant lesions denotes disease progression; therefore, some comments on detection of new lesions are important. There are no specific criteria for the identification of new radiographic lesions; however, the finding of a new lesion should be unequivocal: ie, not attributable to differences in scanning technique, change in imaging modality, or findings thought to represent something other than tumor (eg, some “new” bone lesions may be simply healing or flare of preexisting lesions). This is particularly important when the participant’s baseline lesions show partial or CR. For example, necrosis of a liver lesion may be reported on a CT scan report as a “new” cystic lesion, which it is not. A lesion identified on a follow-up study in an anatomical location that was not scanned at baseline is considered a new lesion and will indicate disease progression. An example of this is the participant who has visceral disease at baseline and while on study has a CT or MRI brain ordered that reveals metastases. The participant’s brain metastases are considered to be evidence of PD even if they did not have brain imaging at baseline.
[0141] If a new lesion is equivocal, eg, because of its small size, continued therapy and follow-up evaluation will clarify if it represents truly new disease. If repeat scans confirm there is definitely a new lesion, then progression should be declared using the date of the initial scan.
[0142] While fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET response assessments need additional study, it is sometimes reasonable to incorporate the use of FDG-PET scanning to complement CT scanning in assessment of progression (particularly possible “new” disease).New lesions on the basis of FDG-PET imaging can be identified according to the following algorithm: a. Negative FDG-PET at baseline, with a positive FDG-PET at follow-up is a sign of PD based on a new lesion (a “positive” FDG-PET scan lesion means 1, which is FDG avid with an uptake greater than twice that of the surrounding tissue on the attenuation corrected image). b. No FDG-PET at baseline and a positive FDG-PET at follow-up:■ If the positive FDG-PET at follow-up corresponds to a new site of disease confirmed by CT, this is PD. If the positive FDG-PET at follow-up is not confirmed as a new site of disease on CT, additional follow-up CT scans are needed to determine if there is truly progression occurring at that site (if so, the date of PD will be the date of the initial abnormal FDG-PET scan).■ If the positive FDG-PET at follow-up corresponds to a preexisting site of disease on CT that is not progressing on the basis of the anatomic images, this is not PD.
[0143] Evaluation of Best Overall Response (BOR)
[0144] The BOR is the best response recorded from the start of the study treatment until the EOT taking into account any requirement for confirmation. On occasion a response may not be documented until after the end of therapy so protocols should be clear if posttreatment assessments are to be considered in determination of BOR. Protocols must specify how any new therapy introduced before progression will affect best response designation. The participant’s BOR assignment will depend on the findings of both target and nontarget disease and will also take into consideration the appearance of new lesions. Furthermore, depending on the nature of the study and the protocol requirements, it may also require confirmatory measurement. Specifically, in nonrandomized studies where response is the primary endpoint, confirmation of PR or CR is needed to deem either 1 as the “BOR.”
[0145] The BOR is determined once all the data for the participant is known. Best response determination in studies where confirmation of complete or PR is not required: best response in these studies is defined as the best response across all time points (eg, a participant who has SD at first assessment, PR at second assessment, and PD on last assessment has a BOR of PR).
[0146] When SD is believed to be best response, it must also meet the protocol- specified minimum time from baseline. If the minimum time is not met when SD is otherwise the best timepoint response, the participant’s best response depends on the subsequent assessments. For example, a participant who has SD at first assessment, PD at second anddoes not meet minimum duration for SD, will have a best response of PD. The same participant lost to follow-up after the first SD assessment would be considered inevaluable.
[0147] Timepoint Response: Participants with Target (±Nontarget) Disease
[0148] Timepoint Response: Participants with Nontarget Disease OnlyAbbreviations: CR = complete response, NE = not evaluable, PD = progressive disease, SD = stable disease.
[0149] Best response determination in studies where confirmation of complete or PR is required: CR or PR may be claimed only if the criteria for each are met at a subsequent timepoint as specified in the protocol (generally 4 weeks later). In this circumstance, the BOR can be interpreted as in the table below.
[0150] Best Overall Response when Confirmation of CR and PR Requireda If a CR is truly met at first timepoint, then any disease seen at a subsequent timepoint, even disease meeting PR criteria relative to baseline, makes the disease PD at that point (since disease must have reappeared after CR). Best response would depend on whether minimum duration for SD was met. However, sometimes “CR” may be claimed when subsequent scans suggest small lesions were likely still present and in fact the participant had PR, not CR at the first timepoint. Under these circumstances, the original CR should be changed to PR and the best response is PR.Abbreviations: CR = complete response, NE = not evaluable, PD = progressive disease, PR = partial response, SD = stable disease.
[0151] When nodal disease is included in the sum of target lesions and the nodes decrease to “normal” size (<10 mm), they may still have a measurement reported on scans.This measurement should be recorded even though the nodes are normal in order not to overstate progression should it be based on increase in size of the nodes. As noted earlier, this means that participants with CR may not have a total sum of “zero” on the eCRF.
[0152] In studies where confirmation of response is required, repeated “NE” timepoint assessments may complicate best response determination. The analysis plan for the study must address how missing data / assessments will be addressed in determination ofresponse and progression. For example, in most studies it is reasonable to consider a participant with timepoint responses of PR-NE-PR as a confirmed response.
[0153] Participants with a global deterioration of health status requiring discontinuation of treatment without objective evidence of disease progression at that time should be reported as “symptomatic deterioration.” Every effort should be made to document objective progression even after discontinuation of treatment. Symptomatic deterioration is not a descriptor of an objective response: it is a reason for stopping study drug. The objective response status of suchparticipants is to be determined by evaluation of target and nontarget disease as shown in the tables herein.
[0154] Conditions that define “early progression, early death and inevaluability” are study-specific and should be clearly described in each protocol (depending on treatment duration, treatment periodicity).
[0155] In some circumstances it may be difficult to distinguish residual disease from normal tissue. When the evaluation of CR depends upon this determination, it is recommended that the residual lesion be investigated (fine needle aspirate / biopsy) before assigning a status of CR. FDG-PET may be used to upgrade a response to CR in a manner similar to a biopsy in cases where a residual radiographic abnormality is thought to represent fibrosis or scarring. The use of FDG-PET in this circumstance should be prospectively described in the protocol and supported by disease specific medical literature for the indication. However, it must be acknowledged that both approaches may lead to false positive CR due to limitations of FDG-PET and biopsy resolution / sensitivity.
[0156] For equivocal findings of progression (e.g., very small and uncertain new lesions; cystic changes or necrosis in existing lesions), treatment may continue until the next scheduled assessment. If at the next scheduled assessment, progression is confirmed, the date of progression should be the earlier date when progression was suspected.
[0157] Confirmatory Measurement and Duration of ResponseConfirmation
[0158] In nonrandomized studies where response is the primary endpoint, confirmation of PR and CR is required to ensure responses identified are not the result of measurement error.
[0159] This will also permit appropriate interpretation of results in the context of historical data where response has traditionally required confirmation in such studies. However, in all other circumstances, ie, in randomized studies (Phase 2 or 3) or studies where SD or progression are the primary endpoints, confirmation of response is not required since it will not add value to the interpretation of study results. However, elimination of the requirement for response confirmation may increase the importance of central review to protect against bias, in particular in studies that are not blinded.
[0160] In the case of SD, measurements must have met the SD criteria at least once after study entry at a minimum interval (in general not less than 6 to 8 weeks) that is defined in the study protocol.Duration of Overall Response
[0161] The duration of overall response is measured from the time measurement criteria are first met for CR / PR (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that recurrent or PD is objectively documented (taking as reference for PD the smallest measurements recorded on study).
[0162] The duration of overall CR is measured from the time measurement criteria are first met for CR until the first date that recurrent disease is objectively documented.Duration of Stable Disease
[0163] SD is measured from the start of the treatment (in randomized studies, from date of randomization) until the criteria for progression are met, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (if the baseline sum is the smallest, this is the reference for calculation ofPD).
[0164] The clinical relevance of the duration of SD varies in different studies and diseases. If the proportion of participants achieving SD for a minimum period of time is an endpoint of importance in a particular study, the protocol should specify the minimal time interval required between 2 measurements for determination of SD.
[0165] Note: The DOR and SD as well as the PFS are influenced by the frequency of follow-up after baseline evaluation. It is not in the scope of this guideline to define a standard follow-up frequency. The frequency should take into account many parameters including disease types and stages, treatment periodicity, and standard practice. However, these limitations of the precision of the measured endpoint should be taken into account if comparisons between studies are to be made.
[0166] Pharmacokinetic assessments
[0167] Blood samples are collected for the measurement of plasma concentrations of Formula (I). Samples may be collected at additional time points during the study, if warranted and agreed upon between the investigator and the sponsor. Samples collected for analyses of Formula (I) plasma concentrations may also be used to evaluate safety or efficacy aspects related to concerns arising during or after the study. The actual date and time (24- hour clock time) of each sample is recorded. The testing of PK samples is performed by a designated bioanalytical contract research organization with a validated method.Pharmacokinetic Blood Sample and Triplicate Electrocardiogram Timinga Triplicate ECGs are to be collected within 10 minutes before the corresponding timed PK blood draw b Blood sample is to be collected in a fasted state at least 2-hours predose to 2-hours postdose. c A PK blood sample is to be collected at any unscheduled visit due to an AE. The last study drug administration date and time, and the PK sampling time (24-hour clock time) should be accurately recorded.Abbreviations: AE = adverse event; ECG = electrocardiogram; min = minutes; PK = pharmacokinetics.
[0168] The predose, 15- and 30-minutes postdose, and 1- and 2-hour postdose PK samples collected on Cycle 1, Day 1 and Cycle 1, Day 15 are to be collected in a fasted state (>2-hour fast) and the date and time of the last meal prior to predose PK blood draws are to be recorded. For all PK samples, the actual study drug administration time and PK sampling time should be accurately recorded.
[0169] Sparse PK (predose) is collected at Cycle 3, Day 1; Cycle 4, Day 1; and Cycle 5, Day 1 for all participants. As PK data become available, the collection of PK sampling may be adjusted by the sponsor, but the frequency of PK sampling does not increase.
[0170] Pharmacodynamic assessments
[0171] Blood samples are collected for the measurement of circulating biomarkers, which may include but not be limited to FGF23, parathyroid hormone, calcitriol, FGF19, matrix metalloproteinase- 1, matrix metalloproteinase- 10, and FGF binding protein 1, as specified in the table below.
[0172] Assessments beyond those described below may be evaluated at the discretion of the sponsor using excess biomarker or PK samples. Analyses may be conducted by sponsor-designated central laboratory.
[0173] Safety Safety is assessed by close monitoring and timely assessment of AEs, Outcome laboratory parameters (hematology, clinical chemistry), vital signs Measures: (blood pressure, heart rate), participant’s medical condition (targeted physical examination including weight), ophthalmological examination, and general well-being and activities of daily life (ECOG PS).
