What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence rate and category of dose-limiting toxicities will be tabulated for patients included in the dose escalation portion of the study, to establish the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RPTD)

    Incidence rate and category of dose-limiting toxicities will be tabulated for patients included in the dose escalation portion of the study, to establish the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RPTD). This will be calculated using an established statistical model, based on incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events, physical examinations, vital signs, electrocardiograms, and laboratory parameters

    Time frame: 23 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. To assess preliminary anti-tumor activity of BGJ398 for patients in expansion Arm 4 (previously treated patients with advanced/metastatic UCC with FGFR3 gene alterations)

    overall response rate (ORR), as assessed by investigator per RECIST v 1.0; overall survival (OS), duration of response (DOR) and disease control rate (DCR) will be assessed

    Time frame: 23 months

  2. To determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of oral BGJ398

    Time vs. concentration profiles, PK parameters of BGJ398 and known active metabolite(s).

    Time frame: 23 months

  3. To evaluate the pharmacodynamic effect of the drug.

    Pre- vs. post treatment serial changes in FGF23 plasma levels (not done for patients enrolled to expansion Arm 4)

    Time frame: 23 months

  4. Assess preliminary anti-tumor activity for patients not in Arm 4.

    Overall tumor response rate (ORR) and PFS assessed by investigator per RECIST

    Time frame: 23 months
