NCT05733000

Brief Summary

This phase II trial tests how well CPI-613 (devimistat) in combination with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or gemcitabine works in patients with solid tumors that may have spread from where they first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that have not responded to chemotherapy medications (chemorefractory). Metabolism is how the cells in the body use molecules (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) from food to get the energy they need to grow, reproduce and stay healthy. Tumor cells, however, do this process differently as they use more molecules (glucose, a type of carbohydrate) to make the energy they need to grow and spread. CPI-613 works by blocking the creation of the energy that tumor cells need to survive, grow in the body and make more tumor cells. When the energy production they need is blocked, the tumor cells can no longer survive. Hydroxychloroquine is a drug used to treat malaria and rheumatoid arthritis and may also improve the immune system in a way that tumors may be better controlled. Fluorouracil is in a class of medications called antimetabolites. It works by killing fast-growing abnormal cells. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. CPI-613 (devimistat) in combination with hydroxychloroquine and 5-fluorouracil or gemcitabine may work to better treat advanced solid tumors.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall response rate (ORR)

    Will be assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1 in patients with solid tumors treated under this protocol. ORR is defined as the percentage of patients with documented complete response (CR) plus the percentage of patients with documented partial response (PR). ORR will be reported with the corresponding exact confidence intervals.

    Time from baseline to disease progression, initiates subsequent anti-cancer therapy, or 24 months (whichever occurs first)

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Progression free survival (PFS)

    Time that elapses between the day of subject registration and the earlier of the day of first documented disease progression by clinical or radiographic evaluation or death from any cause, assessed up to 24 months

  • Overall survival (OS)

    Time that elapses between the day of subject registration and death from any cause, assessed up to 24 months

  • Duration of response (DOR)

    Time elapsed from the day when CR or PR is first observed until the earlier of the day of first documented disease progression or death, assessed up to 24 months

  • Incidence of adverse events

    Up to 30 days post treatment
