0C-14-4 A Phase I, multi-center, non-randomized, open label, parallel-group study evaluating the pharmacokinetics and safety of regorafenib (BAY 73-4506) in cancer subjects with severe renal impairment compared to a control group
Regorafenib is a targeted agent that has been shown to have anti-cancer activity and has been approved for use in previously treated patients with advanced colorectal cancer and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Regorafenib is processed in the body or metabolized mostly through the liver, but the FDA recommends that a pharmacokinetic (PK) study be conducted in patients with damaged kidney function since damaged kidney function can alter the PK of the drug. PK studies look at what the body does to the drug in terms of how it is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted. The PK of regorafenib has been studied in patients with mild kidney damage, but not in patients with severe kidney damage or end-stage kidney disease. This open-label, Phase 1 study is being done with a primary objective to evaluate the impact of severe kidney damage on the PK of regorafenib in subjects with advanced solid tumors as compared to those with normal kidney function. There will be 2 groups of kidney function evaluated (Group 1 Control: normal/mild damage, Group 2: severe damage). Once patients have signed consent and are deemed eligible, they will be assigned to one of two groups according to their kidney function status. Each group will have a minimum of 12 subjects. The study will be done in 2 stages. In the first stage, all subjects will receive one dose of regorafenib and have PK bloods collected for up to 4 days. They will enter into the second phase if they are willing and the study doctor thinks that they will benefit. They will continue to have study visits and receive study drug until they have side effect(s) or a condition which necessitates their removal from the study, they are lost to follow up, their disease progresses, they become pregnant, the protocol is not followed, they withdraw consent, their study doctor thinks that being on the study is no longer in their best interest, or the sponsor stops the study. The PK and safety data will be summarized and analyzed by kidney function group. Summary statistics will be presented by treatment group. Medical history findings will be summarized for all subjects. The primary pharmacokinetic analysis will be based on classification of renal function using the C-G formula. The following statistics will be calculated for each of the PK sampling points and characteristics: arithmetic mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation (CV), geometric mean, geometric standard deviation (re-transformed standard deviation of the logarithms) and CV, minimum, median, maximum value and the number of measurements. Individual and geometric mean concentration vs. time curves of all analytes will be plotted by treatment using both linear and semilogarithmic scale. To compare the two kidney function groups, AUC(0-24)md estimated with nominal dosing will be analyzed assuming log-normally distributed data.

A Randomized, Double-blind, Multicenter, Phase III Study of Everolimus (RAD001) Plus Best Supportive Care Versus Placebo Plus Best Supportive Care in the Treatment of Patients With Advanced NET of GI or Lung Origin
This was a prospective, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, two-arm Phase III study comparing the efficacy and safety of everolimus 10 mg daily to placebo in patients with advanced NET of GI or lung origin without a history of, or current symptoms of carcinoid syndrome. After assessment of eligibility, participants qualifying for the study were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either everolimus or matching placebo. Participants received daily oral doses of 10 mg everolimus or matching placebo as study drug. In both arms, the study drug was combined with best supportive care and treatment cycles were defined as 28 days. Participants were treated until disease progression as per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.0, intolerable toxicity, death, lost to follow-up or consent withdrawal. Regardless of the reason for study drug discontinuation, participants had a safety follow-up visit scheduled 30 days after the last dose of the study drug. Per data monitoring committee recommendation, all participants on treatment with placebo were allowed to crossover to open-label treatment with everolimus. This change was implemented through protocol amendment 3 (issued on 06-May-2016) after which remaining participants entered into open-label phase of the study.

4P-10-8: PREVAIL: A Multinational Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Efficacy and Safety Study of Oral MDV3100 in Chemotherapy-Nave Patients with Progressive Metastatic Prostate Cancer Who Have Failed Androgen Deprivation Therapy
This is a research study for individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer of the prostate that is getting worse despite receiving hormone treatment. This study will use MDV3100, an experimental drug, that has not been approved for sale to the public by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) or other government and health regulatory agencies. The purpose of this study is to determine if MDV3100 will help the study participants live longer, if MDV3100 can delay the progression of cancer by increasing the amount of time before the cancer progresses, and to determine the safety of the study drug.MDV3100 is an experimental drug known as an androgen-receptor antagonist (it blocks the activity of the male sex hormones). It directly affects a key mechanism in the body that leads to prostate cancer cell death. Prostate cancers are initially dependent on the male hormone testosterone for growth. Hormonal therapies that lower testosterone or block the ability of testosterone to act at the level of the prostate cancer are currently among the most effective treatments for prostate cancers that have spread to other body organs (metastasized). The effectiveness of hormonal treatments, however, is not permanent, and over time many prostate cancers progress in spite of these treatments. This study is a multicenter, phase 3 double-blind placebo-controlled study. This study is a blinded study, which means that neither the study participants nor the study doctor will know if they are taking MDV3100 or placebo. The experimental drug, MDV3100 is provided as a 40 mg soft gelatin capsule and is indicated at a dose of 160 mg/day administered once daily. The study drug may be taken with or without food.The study drug will be continued as long as the study participant is tolerating the study drug and continues androgen deprivation treatment until confirmed disease progression through imaging.The safety of the study drug will be determined by the frequency of serious adverse events, frequency and severity of adverse events, frequency of study drug discontinuation due to adverse events as well as the frequency of new clinically significant changes in physical examination findings, vital signs, laboratory values and ECGs.The efficacy analyses will be conducted using the intent-to-treat population defined as all randomized participants.The study will be conducted at 225 locations worldwide. About 1,680 people will participate in this study, 10 will be from USC.

PRESENT: Prevention of Recurrence in Early-Stage, Node-Positive Breast Cancer With Low to Intermediate HER2 Expressions With NeuVax™Treatment
This is a multicenter, multinational, prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled Phase 3 study. The subjects eligible for this trial have an early stage node-positive breast cancer. Their tumors express low or intermediate levels of the HER2 protein. NeuVax™ will be administered after completion of front-line, standard of care therapy (surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy) and can be given concomitantly with physician prescribed endocrine treatment. NeuVax™ is the immmunodominant nonapeptide derived from the extracellular domain of the HER2 protein, a well-established target for therapeutic intervention in breast carcinoma. The nelipepimut sequence stimulates specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) following binding to HLA-A2/A3 molecules on antigen presenting cells (APC). These activated specific CTLs recognize, neutralize and destroy through cell lysis HER2 expressing cancer cells, including occult cancer cells and micrometastatic foci. The nelipepimut immune response can also generate CTLs to other immunogenic peptides through inter- and intra-antigenic epitope spreading. Based on a successful Phase 2 trial, which achieved its primary endpoint of DFS, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted NeuVax a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) for its Phase 3 PRESENT (Prevention of Recurrence in Early-Stage, Node-Positive Breast Cancer with Low to Intermediate HER2 Expression with NeuVax Treatment) study. The active portion of the study will last three years (36 months). The follow-up will last from 5 to 10 years. Endpoints: 1. Primary efficacy endpoint: - 3-year DFS 2. Secondary efficacy endpoints: - 5- and 10-year DFS - 3-year OS - 5- and 10-year OS - Safety profile, and adverse events (AEs) - Patterns of recurrence to include Time to recurrence (TTR), time to local recurrence (TTLR), time to distant recurrence (TTDR), time to bone metastases (TTBM) Safety Assessments: Subjects will be assessed at every study visit for the safety endpoints, AEs,vital signs, physical examinations and laboratory data; yearly follow-up of survival will include imaging studies, ECGs, MUGA or ECHO scans and concomitant medications.
