Tivantinib进行中的III期试验进展
ArQule Provides Updates on Clinical Trials in Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with Tivantinib
Data Monitoring Committee approves continuation of Phase 3 METIV-HCC liver cancer trial following safety and pharmacokinetic analyses Asian partner Kyowa Hakko Kirin provides top-line data on ATTENTION trial in non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer
WOBURN, Mass., Jan 16, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- ArQule, Inc. ARQL -3.60% today provided clinical updates on the ongoing pivotal Phase 3 METIV-HCC trial in hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) conducted by the Company and its partner, Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd., and on the completed amended Phase 3 ATTENTION trial in non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) conducted in Asian territories by its partner, Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co., Ltd.
METIV-HCC Trial
III期肝细胞癌试验
The Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) of the METIV-HCC trial has recommended continuation of the ongoing pivotal Phase 3 METIV-HCC trial of tivantinib as a single agent in hepatocellular carcinoma with a lower dose of tivantinib, 120 milligrams (mg) tablets administered twice daily (BID). This decision followed the DMC’s review of data analyses from a predefined number of patients who received this lower dose.
数据监察委员会推荐继续试验,降低剂量为120mg每日两次。
Recently completed safety analyses among patients treated with 120 mg BID tivantinib tablets showed that the incidence of neutropenia was reduced with this lower dose. In addition, pharmacokinetic analyses from this patient cohort, reviewed by the DMC, demonstrated that the plasma exposure of the 120 mg BID tablets dose was comparable to the exposure achieved with the 240 mg BID capsules dose employed in the Phase 2 trial, with similar medians and overlapping ranges.
最近的分析显示120mg每日两次的较低剂量能降低中性粒减少的发生。药代动力学显示120mg与II期临床中使用的240mg剂量血浆暴露类似。
A dose reduction from 240 mg BID tablets to 120 mg tablets BID was implemented in September, 2013 following the observation of a higher incidence of neutropenia in the initial phase of the METIV-HCC trial than was observed in the Phase 2 trial in the same patient population where a 240 mg BID capsule dose was administered. Certain enhanced patient monitoring procedures had been temporarily instituted to confirm the safety profile of the lower dose.
剂量降低从2013年九月开始实施,此前发现中性粒减少的发生比在II期临床中观察到的要多。
The METIV-HCC trial is a pivotal randomized, double-blind study of tivantinib as single agent therapy in previously treated patients with MET diagnostic-high, inoperable HCC. The primary endpoint is overall survival in the intent-to-treat population, and the secondary endpoint is progression free survival in the same population. METIV-HCC is being conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA).
METIV-HCC是一项关键性的双盲随机试验,研究tivantinib作为单药治疗曾经接受过治疗的MET高表达的肝细胞癌患者。主要终点是愿意治疗人群的总生存期,次要终点是无进展生存期。 |
