Study Overview

Carfilzomib for the Treatment of Patients With Advanced Neuroendocrine Cancers

The purpose of this study is to determine if carfilzomib is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors.

Neuroendocrine malignancies such as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) and gastrointestinal (GI) carcinoids, are generally rare but their incidences are increasing. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that proteasome inhibitors have activity against a variety of tumor types. Carfilzomib (Kyprolis®) is an irreversible proteasome inhibitor with a favorable safety profile that has been studied in a variety of hematologic and solid tumors. Carfilzomib received accelerated approval from the U.S. FDA in 2012, based on a favorable response rate, for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who received at least two prior therapies, and demonstrated disease progression within 60 days of completing the last therapy. In this multi-center study, the investigators propose to evaluate carfilzomib for the treatment of patients with advanced neuroendocrine cancers.

Study Plan

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

Design Details

Primary Purpose:
Treatment


Allocation:
Na


Interventional Model:
Single Group


Masking:
None


Arms and Interventions

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Carfilzomib

Carfilzomib will be administered as intravenous (IV) infusion over 30 minutes on Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16 of each 28-day cycle. Cycle 1: First two doses of Carfilzomib 20 mg/m2 IV; subsequent doses at 56 mg/m2 IV Cycle 2 onwards: Carfilzomib 56 mg/m2

DRUG: Carfilzomib

Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Overall Response Rate (ORR)Percentage of participants with confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) (i.e. 2 CRs or PRs at least 4 weeks apart) to treatment according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1) CR=disappearance of all target lesions. PR=at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.every 3 cycles (1 cycle= 28 days) until treatment discontinuation up to 4 years
Secondary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Disease Control Rate (DCR)Percentage of participants with complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) (≥ 6 cycles) according to RECIST v1.1 criteria. Complete Response is defined per RECIST as the disappearance of all target/non-target lesions and normalization of tumor markers. Partial Response is defined per RECIST as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. Stable disease is defined per RECIST as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest (nadir) sum LD since the treatment started.every 3 cycles (1 cycle= 28 days) until treatment discontinuation up to 4 years
Progression Free Survival (PFS)Measured from Day 1 of study drug administration to disease progression as defined by RECIST v1.1, or death on the study. Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Patients who did not have disease progression or death documented were censored on the date of the last visit with adequate assessment.up to 4 years
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and TolerabilityThe number of treatment-emergent adverse events will be graded utilizing the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v4.03From the day of the first dose to 30 days after the last dose of study medication, up to 4 years

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person’s general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:
ALL

Sexes Eligible for Study:
18 Years

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:

    Inclusion Criteria:
    1. Adults with biopsy-proven advanced, unresectable or metastatic, well-to-moderately differentiated (or low grade) neuroendocrine carcinoma, including typical carcinoid, pancreatic islet cell and other well-to-moderately differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas. 2. Measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors RECIST v 1.1 criteria. 3. Patients currently receiving or previously treated with single agent sandostatin LAR® are eligible. However, this is not a mandatory criterion to be included in the study. 4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score of 0 or 1. 5. Adequate hematologic, renal, and hepatic function. 6. Predicted life expectancy > 12 weeks.
    Exclusion Criteria:
    1. Patients with poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma, high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma, adenocarcinoid, globlet cell carcinoid, atypical carcinoid, anaplastic carcinoid, pulmonary neuroendocrine and small cell carcinoma are not eligible. 2. Patients who had radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, biologic therapy, investigational agents, or chemotherapy for cancer within 21 days or 5 half-lives of any chemotherapy or biologic/targeted agent, whichever is longer, prior to first treatment day of the study. 3. Concurrent severe, intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would impair the ability of the patient to receive protocol treatment. 4. Major surgical procedures ≤28 days of beginning study drug, or minor surgical procedures ≤7 days. No waiting required following port-a-cath placement. 5. Previously untreated brain metastases. Patients who have received radiation or surgery for brain metastases are eligible if therapy was completed at least 2 weeks prior to study entry and there is no evidence of central nervous system disease progression, mild neurologic symptoms, and no requirement for chronic corticosteroid therapy. 6. Known diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B or hepatitis C.
