PHASE 0.Eligible participants will enroll in the Phase 0 study and receive BMS-986504 in three
dose escalation cohorts over 6 days prior to surgical resection. The final dose will be
administered 3-5 hours before tumor resection on Day 6. Participants without
histologically confirmed diagnosis of recurrent GBM after the craniotomy will be
replaced.
Phase 0 Dose Escalation.An initial cohort of three participants will be enrolled at the starting dose level. If
≤1 of the participants experiences a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) through the end of the
Phase 0, the dose is escalated to the next level. Dose escalation continues to the next
level if no more than one out of three participants experience a DLT. However, if two or
more participants experience DLTs at any dose level, dose escalation stops.
A written report will be submitted to the DSMB Chair (or qualified alternate) describing
the time intervals, dose levels, adverse events, safety reports and any DLTs observed
after enrollment into each cohort is complete. The DSMB Chair will review the report and
provide a written authorization to proceed or will request more information within
approximately 2 business days. Approval for the initiation of enrollment must be obtained
prior to implementation.
Phase 0 Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)
DLTs will be defined as any adverse event that is not clearly due to the underlying
disease or extraneous causes, t and unrelated to disease, disease progression,
intercurrent illness or concomitant medications from Phase 0 Day 1 through termination
from the study or study completion. DLTs will include:
- - ≥ Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with clinically significant bleeding.
- - > Grade 4 neutropenia for more than 7 days.
- - As determined by the investigator, any unacceptable toxicity which may include
treatment-related death or grade 4 toxicity.
- - Any non-hematologic toxicity:
- Grade ≥ 3 regardless of relatedness to study treatment, duration, or baseline
grade;
- Events that meet Hy's law criteria;
- Excluding the following:
- Grade 3 nausea/vomiting or diarrhea for less than 72 hours with adequate
antiemetic and other supportive care.
- - Grade 3 fatigue for greater than 1 week.
- - Grade 3 or higher electrolyte abnormality that lasts up to 72 hours, is
not clinically complicated, and resolves spontaneously or responds to
conventional medical interventions.
- - Any death not clearly due to the underlying disease or extraneous causes.
Phase 0 PK/PD Assessments Tumor PK and PD analyses will be performed at IVY. To assess
the PK and PD endpoints listed, blood, CSF and brain tumor tissue (Gd-enhancing and
Gd-non-enhancing tumor tissue will be collected and analyzed separately) will be
collected intraoperatively.
Retrospective genomic analysis of tissue from Phase 0 and subsequent resections at
recurrence will be performed if positive PK/PD responses are observed.
Participants with tumors demonstrating negative PK will not proceed to the Expansion
Phase 1 component but will receive standard of care. Participants will complete the
end-of-treatment visit, safety follow-up, and survival monitoring as outlined in the "All
Participants" section.
PHASE 1.Participants with tumors demonstrating PK response will continue treatment with the same
dose that was received in Phase 0 once daily (QD) in a continuous regimen expressed in
3-week (21-day) cycles. Treatment will begin once the participant has recovered from
surgery. Participants will receive BMS-986504 until the progression of disease,
unacceptable toxicity or death, withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, or study
termination by sponsor. Participants will complete the end-of-treatment visit, safety
follow-up, and survival monitoring as outlined in the "All Participants" section.
Phase 1 Dose Modifications.Participants who experience a clinically significant Grade 2 toxicity considered related
to study treatment, or a Grade 3 or 4 toxicity considered related to study treatment may
temporarily suspend study treatment. Depending on the toxicity, study treatment may
resume within 28 days after discussion with the Safety Officer.
Dosing of BMS-986504 during Phase 1 can be interrupted for approximately 28 days for
medical events that are not associated with toxicity related to study treatment or
disease progression.
Criteria for treatment modifications and suggested guidelines for the management of
toxicities related to BMS-986504 are summarized in the protocol. These general guidelines
may be modified at the discretion of the Investigator based on the best clinical
judgement at that time. Any toxicities related to BMS-986504 should be managed according
to standard medical practice.
A participant must discontinue study treatment, if, after treatment is resumed at a lower
dose, the toxicity recurs with the same or worse severity.
ALL PARTICIPANTS.All participants will return to the clinic for safety monitoring per the schedule of
activities following treatment discontinuation and will be contacted approximately every
3 months for up to 12 months for survival data collection. MRI scans and review to
monitor progression in guidance with RANO criteria will occur approximately 2-3 month,
per standard of care. The start of follow-up for long-term survival begins following
completion of the Day 30 safety follow up call.
At treating physician's discretion, longitudinal biomarker analysis through liquid biopsy
will be conducted to characterize genomic and/or transcriptomic changes from tumor cells
or cell-free DNA collected from CSF at Phase 0, at Expansion Phase, or recurrent
craniotomy.
Additional biomarker analysis may be conducted using surgical tissue. If the participant
undergoes repeat craniotomy for recurrence or progression of his/her brain tumor, IVY
will request samples from the resected tumor, CSF or blood to enable longitudinal sample
collection and analysis that will help identify possible resistance mechanisms.
STUDY STOPPING CRITERIA.Study stopping rules are:
- - If < 1 of 3 participant shows positive PK at the highest dose level.
- - If ≥ 2 participants have a ≥ 4-week delay to surgery due to BMS-986504 related
toxicity at any dose level.
- - Any unacceptable toxicity such as Grade 4 toxicity or death not clearly related to
underlying disease or extraneous cause.
The following options may occur as a result of any of the above:
- - Halt participant dosing or study enrollment until the toxicity data can be further
studied by the DSMB.
- - Amend the protocol to address any of the below:
- Evaluate additional subjects in a particular dose cohort or in each dose cohort
to make the study more sensitive to characterizing adverse events;
- Implementation of smaller dose increases between dose cohorts;
- Exclusion of certain participants thought to be more at-risk for a particular
adverse event.
STUDY OBJECTIVES The Phase 0 Primary Objective is to evaluate concentration of BMS-986504
in Gd-non-enhancing tumor tissue, and the Expansion Phase Primary Objective is to assess
safety and tolerability of BMS-986504 in participants who receive at least one dose.
The Phase 0 Secondary Objective is to evaluate concentration of BMS-986504 in CSF
collected during Phase 0 surgery, and the Expansion Phase Secondary Objectives are to
measure the rate of 6-month progression free survival (PFS6) and examine overall survival
(OS) in participants.
STUDY DURATION The estimated total study length of around 15 months includes study
initiation and accrual of 9 participants in 9 months, and follow-up for the participants
for an additional 6 months to conclude the study.
The final trial report will be summarized and submitted for peer-review journals for
publication.Phase 0 Participants: Up to approximately 2 months (screening window of 28 days through
Day 30 phone call follow-up).
Phase 1 Participants: BMS-98604 will be taken by the participant as long as the drug is
tolerated, and the investigator believes the participant may be obtaining benefit.
Treatment will be taken by the participant until confirmed progression, unacceptable
toxicity, death, withdrawal of consent, lost to follow-up, or end of treatment.
All Participants: Participants will be followed for survival for up to 12 months
following end of treatment.
