Platform Trial Assessing Uptake, Safety and Efficacy of Theranostic Agents in Solid Tumors With Active Brain Metastases

Study Purpose

This trial will evaluate treatment for patients with solid tumors with active brain metastases. Patients will be treated with a theranostic or diagnostic agent. Theranostic agents are targeted radioactive drugs used to identify (diagnose) and to deliver therapy. The main purpose of the study is to analyze the efficacy (to find out how effective a treatment is) of each of the theranostic agents in patients who have solid tumors with active brain metastases. In the diagnostic phase, the main objective is to determine the proportion of patients showing target expression in the brain lesion after a single dose of diagnostic agent. In the therapeutic phase, the theranostic agent's efficacy will be determined by assessing the response rate in the brain, defined as intracranial response rate at 24 weeks.

Additional Details

This is an international, multicenter, open-label, multicohort, platform design trial comprising the development of theranostic cards, and diagnostic and therapeutic phases. The THERANOVA platform trial is designed to systematically analyze existing data and results of theranostic agents to further develop each IMP in different indications. Based on the preliminary analysis, the platform identifies the best strategy for the clinical development of each specific IMP in the context of solid tumors and active brain metastases. The flexible design of the trial adapts to the specific developmental needs of each IMP. Theranostic agents will be firstly analyzed via a theranostic card which will be developed based on the evidence-based analysis done for each theranostic agent. The THERANOVA Experts Committee (TEC) will analyze the theranostic card to take decisions of development through the platform. The theranostic agent will then be tested, if considered suitable, in one (diagnostic or therapeutic) or two (diagnostic and therapeutic) developmental phases depending on the result of the analysis for each of the indications considered. After the diagnostic phase, in case of unsatisfactory results, the diagnostic agent will be discarded for the indication. If the results are satisfactory, the diagnostic agent will be further tested in the therapeutic phase. In case the TEC considers that there is enough evidence for target engagement based on the results of the theranostic card, the diagnostic phase will be skipped, and the theranostic agent will be directly tested in the therapeutic phase. Analysis of each agent will be performed extracting preliminary data from available sources and literature review. If the necessary data to support a developmental decision is not available, the platform is designed to fill evidence gaps. Once a molecule starts its development, the theranostic card will be updated with the new data generated. The TEC will also review the new information advising and deciding the next steps of development. The theranostic card for each theranostic agent will include: 1. Primary tumor/brain metastasis: target expression by tumor subtype as per immunohistochemistry (IHC)%, target localization, imaging radioligand(s), target expression by radioligand imaging; 2. Theranostic development phase and indication; 3. Development phase in the platform. Agents for which the TEC considers that the available data are insufficient to enter the therapeutic phase will enter the diagnostic phase of the platform. The diagnostic phase is comprised of three Stages: Stage I/II: In the Stage I patients will receive a single infusion of the diagnostic agent which will be detected by PET/CT imaging. If the results of the interim analysis performed after the first patients treated (Stage I) are positive, in the Stage II additional patients will receive a single dose of the diagnostic agent which will be detected by PET/CT imaging; Stage III: This Stage will only be performed if the primary endpoint for Stages I and II is met, but there are not enough data and information available on the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of the agent to proceed to therapeutic phase. A single low dose of the diagnostic agent will be administrated to analyze its uptake in a time dependent manner by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT scan. Agents for which the TEC considers that satisfactory data are available will enter the therapeutic phase of the platform. The therapeutic phase is comprised of two Stages: Stage I/II: A first set of patients (Stage I) will receive treatment with the therapeutic agent; if the results of the interim analysis are positive, additional patients (Stage II) will be enrolled to receive the therapeutic agent. Patients enrolled must be ≥18 years of age with solid tumors and active brain metastases (BMs), who have evidence of at least one measurable brain lesion of ≥10 mm on T1-weighted, gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) according to Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Brain Metastases (RANO-BM) criteria. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2, life expectancy ≥ 6 weeks, and adequate bone marrow and organ function are mandatory. The diagnostic phase consists of 2 Stages. In the Stage I, 5 patients will be recruited and, after an interim analysis, if the established criteria are met, 5 additional patients will be recruited in the Stage II for each cohort. If the TEC requires a Stage III, 10 patients will be recruited for each cohort. The therapeutic phase consists of 2 Stages as well. In the Stage I, 10 patients will be recruited and, after an interim analysis, if the established criteria are met, 10 additional patients will be recruited in the Stage II for each cohort. The information gathered from the theranostic card evaluation, and the decision of the TEC will determine which indication (solid tumor with brain metastasis) will be investigated for the specific IMP. After treatment discontinuation (EoT), all patients will have a safety visit scheduled 28 days (± 7 days) after the last dose of IMP, in order to follow up toxicities and changes in concomitant medication. Should alternative timelines be necessary based on the IMP, these will be detailed in the corresponding appendix. After the safety visit, all patients treated in the therapeutic phase will enter a post treatment follow-up period during which survival status and subsequent anticancer therapy information will be collected every 3 months (± 7 days) until death, lost to follow-up, elective withdrawal from the study, or the EoS, whichever occurs first. This information may be collected by telephone call. Patients who discontinue treatment without evidence of disease progression will be followed every 6 months (± 14 days) for tumor assessments until documented progression, elective withdrawal from the study, the start of new anti-cancer treatment, or study completion or termination. Safety long-term follow-up will be established based on the cohort and the specific IMP as explained in the IMP specific appendix section. The TEC took the decision to test the radiotracer targeting SSTR ([68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC) in the diagnostic phase for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer and brain metastases as the first cohort. The decision to assess [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC in the diagnostic phase for this population reflects the potential of RLTs to target brain lesions. The current platform Study incorporates essential design components that may be crucial for a comprehensive evaluation of the balance between benefits and risks of [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC in patients with solid tumors and BMs. The eligibility criteria are designed to maximize the diagnostic value of [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC and minimize its potential associated risks.
