Study summary

A Phase 2 open-label, single-arm, non-randomized study in the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who failed prior treatment with sorafenib using a Simon's 2-stage design. A set minimum number of patients must demonstrate disease control at 16 weeks to proceed to Stage 2. At Stage 2, a set number of patients must have disease control at 16 weeks to declare that SGI-110 is of interest in the treatment of advanced HCC after failure of prior sorafenib.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Disease Control Rate (DCR) at 16 Weeks for Patients Treated With Guadecitabine After Failure of Sorafenib

    Percentage of patients achieving a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) plus subjects with stable disease at 16 weeks after the start of treatment. Response was assessed based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 for target and non-target lesions using computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as follows: Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions, disappearance of all non-target lesions, and normalization of tumor marker level; Partial Response (PR), at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions from baseline; Progressive Disease (PD), at least a 20% relative increase and 5 mm absolute increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, and unequivocal progression of non-target lesions; Stable Disease, neither sufficient shrinkage to quality for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD (Eisenhauer et al. 2009, Eur. J. Cancer 45:228-247).

    Time frame: 16 weeks

    Number of patients with serious adverse events and adverse events

    Time frame: Varied by patient (median number of treatment cycles was 2.0 (range 2-8) in 60 mg/m^2 group, and 4.0 (range 1-13) in 45 mg/m^2 group

  2. Alpha Fetoprotein Response as a Result of Guadecitabine Administration

    Percentage of patients with best post baseline alpha fetoprotein reduction of 50% or more

    Time frame: Varied by patient (median number of treatment cycles was 2.0 (range 2-8) in 60 mg/m^2 group, and 4.0 (range 1-13) in 45 mg/m^2 group

  3. Duration of Response

    Duration of response as measured in days. Included subjects with a complete response or partial response based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.

    Time frame: From time of first response until disease progression or date of death due to any cause, whichever occurred earlier; an average of 192 days.

  4. Progression-free Survival

    Progression-free survival measured in days. Progression-free survival was defined as the time interval from the date of the first dose of study treatment to the earlier of 1) documented radiologic progression per RECIST v1.1 or clinical progression, or 2) death due to any cause.

    Time frame: Through completion of response assessments (i.e., until disease progression or treatment discontinuation), an average of 112 days.

  5. Overall Survival

    Overall survival measured in days.

    Time frame: Through completion of study survival follow-up, an average of 270 days.

Limitations and caveats
The original starting dose of 60 mg/m\^2 guadecitabine was reduced to 45 mg/m\^2 after dose-limiting toxicities occurred in the first 4 patients.

Participant flow

A total of 68 patients were screened for enrollment in the study. Of these, 16 were screen failures. Reasons for screen failure included not meeting all eligibility criteria (14 patients) and withdrawal of consent (2 patients).

Adverse events

Collected over Treatment-emergent adverse events included events that first occurred or worsened after the first dose of study drug until 30 days after the last dose of study drug or the start of alternative anticancer treatment for HCC, whichever occurred first. Events that occurred more than 30 days after the last dose of study treatment or start of alternative cancer treatment were also considered treatment emergent if they were both serious and related to treatment.. Non-serious events are listed at a 5% frequency threshold.

Baseline characteristics

The total number of subjects presented for Baseline Analysis (50 subjects) is less than the total presented in Participant Flow (52 subjects) because 2 subjects were withdrawn from the study prior to receiving treatment and thus were not assigned to a treatment group.

The record gives a start of Dec 2012, a primary completion of Sep 2015 and a completion of Sep 2015. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Jul 2019, 3 years 10 months after primary completion. A results delay was requested in Jan 2017.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 27, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
