NCT04279509

Brief Summary

This is a single-centre study based on the Simon 2-stage optimax design: 12 patients will be enrolled initially (Stage I), which will then be expanded to a further 13 patients (Stage II) if 3 or more patients enrolled in stage I of the study achieve an objective response with the chemotherapeutic agent selected by the drug screen assay. A total of 25 patients will be included in both stages of study. Patients enrolled on study will undergo a fresh biopsy of tumour lesion to obtain cells that will be used to generate patient-derived tumour organoids based on the Invitrocue technology. Organoids will then be subjected to a 10-drug panel screening including: 5-fluorouracil, carboplatin, cyclophosphamide, docetaxel, doxorubicin, gemcitabine, irinotecan, oxaliplatin, paclitaxel and vinorelbine. A further 5 drugs (etoposide, ifosfamide, methotrexate, pemetrexed and topotecan) will be screened if sufficient organoids are grown from the biopsy samples within the screening period. Physicians will be informed of the results, and choice of chemotherapy will be based on an IRS score of 70% or above. If more than 1 candidate drug with IRS of 70% or above is identified, the physician will exercise his/her discretion to select the most suitable drug based on patient's comorbidities and organ function.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Overall radiological response rate

    Measured by RECIST of the entire study cohort

    2 years

  • Correlation between patient genotype, tumor biomarkers and blood biomarkers with clinical outcome

    Clinical Outcome include Radiological response, progression-free survival, grade 3-4 toxicities

    2 years

Study Arms (1)

Cancer patient

EXPERIMENTAL

Histological or cytological diagnosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), colorectal, breast or epithelial ovarian cancer.

Procedure: Tumor Core BiopsyProcedure: Blood sampling

Interventions

Performed up to a maximum of 3 time points - baseline upon study enrolment, at the completion of treatment, and upon disease progression. Four to six tumour core samples will be obtained at each time point. At least two tumour cores will be sent fresh to Invitrocue Pte Ltd for generation of patient-derived organoids for drug-panel screening, at least 1-2 tumour cores at each time point will be stored in formalin and paraffin-embedded for immunohistochemistry analysis of biomarkers, while the remaining 1-2 tumour cores will be stored in liquid nitrogen for subsequent DNA, RNA and protein extraction for biomarker studies including gene expression and proteomics analyses.

Cancer patient

Germline DNA at baseline for pharmacogenetics analysis. Serial plasma samples for circulating tumour cells and biomarkers, at baseline, prior to day 1 of each cycle while on treatment, at the end of treatment (either upon disease progression or upon completion of predetermined cycles of chemotherapy).

Cancer patient

Eligibility Criteria

Age21 Years - 99 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age ≥ 21 years.
  • Histological or cytological diagnosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), colorectal, breast or epithelial ovarian cancer.
  • ECOG 0-1.
  • At least 1 tumour lesion (primary or metastatic) amenable to fresh biopsy
  • At least 1 measurable tumour lesions based on RECIST 1.1 criteria
  • Estimated life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
  • Has documented progressive disease from last line of therapy.
  • Able to wait at least 4 to 6 weeks before initiating the next line of anti-cancer therapy.
  • Has received at least 2 line of palliative systemic therapy:
  • (i) Breast cancer: must have received prior anthracyclines and taxanes in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or palliative setting, unless either of these drugs were contraindicated due to organ dysfunction and/or comorbidities (ii) Ovarian cancer: must have received prior taxanes and platinums in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or palliative setting (iii)HNSCC: must have received prior platinums, taxanes, and 5-fluorouracil in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or palliative setting (iv)Colorectal cancer: must have received prior 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and irinotecan in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or palliative setting
  • Adequate organ function including the following:
  • (i)Bone marrow:
  • Absolute neutrophil (segmented and bands) count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L
  • Platelets ≥100 x 109/L
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 8 x 109/L
  • +7 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Pace of cancer progression requiring commencement of anti-cancer therapy within 4 to 6 weeks.
  • Treatment within the last 30 days with any investigational drug.
  • Concurrent administration of any other tumour therapy, including cytotoxic chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and immunotherapy.
  • Major surgery within 28 days of study drug administration.
  • Active infection that in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the patient's ability to tolerate therapy.
  • Pregnancy.
  • Breast feeding.
  • Serious concomitant disorders that would compromise the safety of the patient or compromise the patient's ability to complete the study, at the discretion of the investigator.
  • Active bleeding disorder or bleeding site.
  • Non-healing wound.
  • Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus.
  • Second primary malignancy that is clinically detectable at the time of consideration for study enrollment.
  • Symptomatic brain metastasis.
  • History of significant neurological or mental disorder, including seizures or dementia.
