Abstract

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of liposomal irinotecan and rucaparib when given together with fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium and to see how well they work in treating patients with pancreatic, colorectal, gastroesophageal, or biliary cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal irinotecan, fluorouracil, and leucovorin calcium, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as rucaparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Giving liposomal irinotecan and rucaparib together with fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium may work better in treating patients with pancreatic, colorectal, gastroesophageal, or biliary cancer.

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To establish the recommended dose level for the phase Ib and phase II trial of liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) and fluorouracil (5-FU) with rucaparib (MFR) in patients with metastatic disease from pancreatic cancer (up to 2 lines of prior therapy), colorectal cancer (up to 3 lines of prior therapy), gastroesophageal cancer (up to 1 line of prior therapy) and biliary tract cancer (with 1 line of prior therapy allowed). (Phase I) II. To assess, in a preliminary fashion, antitumor efficacy, in terms of disease control rate and further tolerability, of the recommended dose level of combination of nal-IRI and 5-FU with rucaparib in patients with metastatic disease from pancreatic cancer both unselected and selected for BRCA 1/2 and PALB2 mutations (=< 1 line of prior therapy in the metastatic setting). (Phase Ib) III. To estimate the proportion of evaluable patients who reach complete response (CR)/partial response (PR) =< 32 weeks after registration among patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas with genomic markers (signature) of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), specifically BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB2 mutation, treated with the combination of nal-IRI and 5FU/leucovorin calcium (LV) with rucaparib (MFR). (Phase II)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas with genomic markers (signature) of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), specifically BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB2 mutation, treated with the combination of nal-IRI and 5-FU/LV with rucaparib (MFR). (Phase II) II. To assess the toxicity of the combination of nal-IRI and 5-FU/LV with rucaparib in patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas with genomic markers (signature) of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), specifically BRCA1/2 and PALB2 mutations. (Phase II)

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the role of genomic markers (signature) of HRD, mutation other than BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB2 as predictive biomarkers of response to MFR.

II. To evaluate BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB2 mutations as predictive biomarker of response to MFR.

OUTLINE: This is phase I, dose-escalation study of liposomal irinotecan and rucaparib and followed by a phase II study.

Patients receive liposomal irinotecan intravenously (IV) over 90 minutes, leucovorin calcium IV, and fluorouracil IV over 46 hours on days 1 and 15. Patients also receive rucaparib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 4-13 and 18-27. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unaccepted toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 3 years.

Outcome

Primary Outcome Measures

1. Number of participants with dose limiting toxicities (Phase I) [Up to 28 days from start of treatment]

Will be assessed to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI) and fluorouracil (5FU) with rucaparib (MFR). MTD is defined as the dose level below the lowest dose that induces dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in at least one-third of patients (at least 2 of a maximum of 6 new patients). A total of 6 patients treated at the MTD will be sufficient to identify common toxicities at the MTD.

2. Objective response (Phase Ib) [Baseline up to 3 years]

Will evaluate changes in size of target lesions according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. Will be summarized by simple descriptive summary statistics delineating complete and partial responses as well as stable and progressive disease.

3. Best response rate (Phase II) [At 32 weeks]

Will be defined as the number of patients who had response =< 32 weeks of registration divided by the number of evaluable patients. Response is defined as either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), per RECIST 1.1.

Secondary Outcome Measures

1. Disease control rate (DCR) [Up to 3 years]

Will be defined as achieving complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or maintaining stable disease (per RECIST version 1.1) as the tumor assessment result for at least 24 weeks. DCR will be estimated by the number of evaluable patients achieving disease control divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Point estimates will be generated for disease control rates within each cohort along with 95% binomial confidence intervals.

2. Overall survival (Phase II) [Time from registration to death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years]

Will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

3. Progression-free survival (Phase II) [Time from registration to the earliest date documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years]

The distribution of progression-free survival will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

4. Incidence of adverse events (Phase II) [Up to 3 years]

Will be assessed by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. The maximum grade for each type of toxicity will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine toxicity patterns within patient groups. The overall adverse event rates for grade 3 or higher adverse events will be compared using Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests between the two treatment groups.
