Interventions

  • VS-6766 — DRUG
    VS-6766 will be supplied as 0.8mg hypromellose (HPMC) capsules for oral administration. The capsule fill consists of VS-6766 and the inactive ingredients mannitol and magnesium stearate. VS-6766 will be administered on a twice weekly (Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday) schedule for 3 weeks followed by 1 week off in every 4 week cycle, under fasting conditions (approximately 1 hour prior or 2 hours after a meal). The starting dose, based on the previous Phase I trial will be 3.2 mg given orally as a single daily dose. This can be escalated to a maximum of 4mg (as per dose escalation rules in the protocol).
  • Defactinib — DRUG
    Defactinib is formulated as a white to off-white oval tablet for oral administration and supplied in single unit dose strength of 200 mg in 120 cc (HDPE) bottles. In addition to Defactinib, formulation components include microcrystalline cellulose, lactose monohydrate, sodium starch glycolate, and magnesium stearate. Patients will receive Defactinib orally immediately after a meal twice daily (approximately every 12 hours) for 3 weeks followed by 1 week off in every 4 week cycle. The starting dose will be 200mg. This can be escalated to a maximum of 400mg (as per dose escalation rules in the protocol).

Study Details

This is a multi-centre, investigator-initiated, dose escalation, Phase I trial of the combination of the FAK inhibitor, Defactinib (VS-6063), and the dual RAF/MEK inhibitor, VS-6766 (RO5126766) in patients with advanced solid tumours. VS-6766 (RO5126766) is the same compound as CH5126766. There are two parts to this study, the dose escalation phase and the dose expansion phase. In the dose escalation phase, cohorts of 3 to 6 patients will be enrolled to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). This will be followed by a dose expansion phase to further characterise the safety and tolerability and to assess the pharmacodynamic activity of the combination.

Arms

  • Experimental: Dose Escalation Phase
    Escalating doses of VS-6766 (RO5126766) and Defactinib (VS-6063) were evaluated in patients with advanced solid tumours to establish the recommended phase II dose. Dose escalation followed a 3+3 design with a maximum of four patient cohorts. This arm is now complete.
  • Experimental: Dose Expansion KRAS mutant NSCLC Cohort
    The dose expansion phase will evaluate the recommended phase II dose of the combination of VS-6766 (RO5126766) and Defactinib (VS-6063), as decided in the dose escalation phase in patients with KRAS mutant NSCLC (20 patients). This arm is now complete.
  • Experimental: Dose Expansion biopsy cohort
    The dose expansion phase will evaluate the recommended phase II dose of the combination of VS-6766 (RO5126766) and Defactinib (VS-6063), as decided in the dose escalation phase in patients advanced RAS mutant solid tumours with biopsiable disease (6 patients). This arm is now complete.
  • Experimental: Dose Expansion LGSOC cohort
    The dose expansion phase will evaluate the recommended phase II dose of the combination of VS-6766 (RO5126766) and Defactinib (VS-6063), as decided in the dose escalation phase in patients with LGSOC (20 patients).
  • Experimental: Dose Expansion CRC cohort
    The dose expansion phase will evaluate the recommended phase II dose of the combination of VS-6766 (RO5126766) and Defactinib (VS-6063), as decided in the dose escalation phase in patients with CRC (10 patients). This arm is now complete.
  • Experimental: Dose Expansion KRAS G12V mutant NSCLC cohort
    The dose expansion phase will evaluate the recommended phase II dose of the combination of VS-6766 (RO5126766) and Defactinib (VS-6063), as decided in the dose escalation phase in patients with KRAS G12V mutant NSCLC (10 patients).
  • Experimental: Dose Expansion RAS/RAF mutant endometrioid cancer cohort
    The dose expansion phase will evaluate the recommended phase II dose of the combination of VS-6766 (RO5126766) and Defactinib (VS-6063), as decided in the dose escalation phase in patients with RAS/RAF mutant endometrioid subtype of gynaecological cancers (ovarian, endometrial, endometriosis-related) (10 patients).
  • Experimental: Dose Expansion pancreatic cancer
    The dose expansion phase will evaluate the recommended phase II dose of the combination of VS-6766 (RO5126766) and Defactinib (VS-6063), as decided in the dose escalation phase in patients with pancreatic cancer (10 patients).

Primary Outcome Measure

To establish a dose for Phase II evaluation from the maximum tolerated dose of the combination of VS-6766 and Defactinib. [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
