A Phase 2 interventional study of CPI-613 in Cancer, sponsored by Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals. Terminated at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-12-29.
Sponsored by Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
This Phase II study is conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of CPI-613 in patients with advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors for whom there there is no available therapy to provide clinical benefit or for those who have refused further standard therapy. The primary outcome measure is Overall Survival (OS). The secondary outcome measures are: Response Rate (RR), Progression-Free Survival (PFS), and safety.
Open-Label Single-Arm Design: This is an open-label study, and investigators and subjects are not blinded to the treatment. Also, the assignment of patients will not be randomized, since this is a single-arm study.
Treatment with CPI-613: A treatment cycle is 4 weeks, with CPI-613 given on Days 1 and 4 of the first 3 weeks.
Dose and Sample Size: The dose of CPI-613 is 3,000 mg/m2. This is Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) determined from the Phase I dose-escalated trial, Study# CL-CPI-613-009 (conducted in patients with hematologic malignancies under IND 107,800). This dose has also been found to be well tolerated in another Phase I dose-escalated trial, Study# CL-CPI-613-002 (conducted in patients with solid tumor under IND 74,530). There will be 20 evaluable patients with each tumor type. Once there are 20 evaluable patients with a particular tumor type has been treated with at least 1 cycle, no patients of the same tumor type will be accrued. Dosing Delay and Dose Modification of CPI-613 in the Event of Adverse Events: For adverse events unrelated to serum creatinine elevation or reduction in renal function but are possibly related to CPI-613, the occurrence of Grade 1 toxicity does not generally require dose modification for subsequent doses for that patient. However, if Grade 2 toxicity (other than alopecia and nausea) probably related to CPI-613 develops, treatment is to be withheld and can resume only after the Grade 2 toxicity has been reduced to Grade 1 or below, and the dose level for subsequent doses for that patient will be reduced by 25% of the dose at which such Grade 2 toxicity occurs. Grade 2 alopecia and nausea do not require withholding treatment or dose reduction. If Grade 3 or 4 toxicity probably related to CPI-613 develops, dosing of CPI-613 of that patient will be withheld and the patient shall be monitored for recovery from, and reversibility of, such Grade 3 or 4 toxicity. To resume treatment with CPI-613 for a patient who has had CPI-613-related Grade 3 or 4 toxicity, the Grade 3 or 4 toxicity must be reduced to Grade 1 or below, and the dose level for subsequent doses for that patient will be reduced to 50% of the dose at which such Grade 3 or 4 toxicity occurs.
For adverse events related to creatinine elevation or reduction in renal function that are possibly related to CPI-613, dosing of the patient will be withheld even if the severity level is Grade 1 or above. Treatment can resume only after the toxicity has been reduced to Grade 0. The dose level for subsequent doses for that patient will be reduced by 15% if the severity level is of Grade 1, by 25% for Grade 2 toxicity, and by 50% for Grade 3 or 4 toxicity.
Furthermore, if the toxicity possibly related to CPI-613 is acute renal failure and the severity level is Grade 3 or 4, further patient enrollment will be temporarily suspended in order to enable assessment of the following aspects of the trial and implementation of corrective measures or protocol amendment, and if necessary:

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.
The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).
Your pathology report is the document that shows this.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.
It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.
Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.
The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.
On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.
The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

This arm is for patients that have failed, or are not eligible for, all available therapies. CPI-613 drug product, provided in concentrated form at 50 mg/mL, must be diluted with D5W prior to administration. CPI-613 is to be infused intravenously (IV) via a central venous catheter. CPI-613 will be given 2x weekly, administered on Days 1 and 4 of each of the 3 treatment weeks, followed by a week of rest. The dose of CPI-613 will be 3,000 mg/m2 infused IV over 2 hours (this is the maximum tolerated dosing \[MTD\]), via a central venous catheter with D5W running at a rate of about 125-150 mL/hr.
