Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests AMG 193 in adults with advanced cancers. The drug aims to specifically attack these cancer cells.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial requires that you stop taking any prescription medications that are strong inducers of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) at least 14 days or 5 half-lives before starting the study. Additionally, you must not have received anti-tumor therapy within 28 days of the study start date.

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug combination AMG 193 and Docetaxel for treating advanced solid cancers?

Docetaxel has shown effectiveness in treating various cancers like breast, gastric, and prostate cancer. Additionally, research suggests that certain genetic markers in colorectal cancer may predict sensitivity to docetaxel, indicating potential effectiveness in specific patient groups.12345

What safety data exists for AMG 193 and Docetaxel in humans?

Docetaxel, a chemotherapy drug, is known to cause side effects like venous thrombosis (blood clots in veins) and gastrointestinal toxicity (stomach and intestine issues), especially in older patients or those with other health problems. In a study of AMG 193, some patients with advanced solid tumors experienced partial responses, but specific safety data for AMG 193 is not detailed.24678

What makes the drug combination of AMG 193 and Docetaxel unique for treating advanced solid cancers?

The combination of AMG 193, a PRMT5 inhibitor, and Docetaxel, a well-established chemotherapy drug, is unique because it targets cancer cells through different mechanisms, potentially enhancing the overall antitumor effect. This approach is novel as it combines a targeted therapy with a traditional chemotherapy agent, which may improve treatment outcomes for patients with advanced solid cancers.2591011

A phase 2 trial of gemcitabine and docetaxel in patients with metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma with methylated checkpoint with forkhead and ring finger domain promoter and/or microsatellite instability phenotype. [2022]We previously reported CHFR methylation in a subset of colorectal cancer (CRC; ∼30%) with high concordance with microsatellite instability (MSI). We also showed that CHFR methylation predicted for sensitivity to docetaxel, whereas the MSI-high phenotypes were sensitive to gemcitabine. We hypothesized that this subset of patients with CRC would be selectively sensitive to gemcitabine and docetaxel. We enrolled a Phase 2 trial of gemcitabine and docetaxel in patients with MSI-high and/or CHFR methylated CRC. The primary objective was Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 response rate. Enrolled patients were treated with gemcitabine 800 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 and docetaxel 70 mg/m2 on day 8 of each 21-day cycle. A total of 6 patients with CHFR-methylated, MSI-high CRC were enrolled from September 2012 to August 2016. The study was closed in September of 2017 due to poor accrual prior to reaching the first interim assessment of response rate, which would have occurred at 10 patients. No RECIST criteria tumor responses were observed, with 3 patients (50%) having stable disease as best response, 1 lasting more than 9 months. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 1.79 months (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.28, not available [NA]) and median overall survival (OS) was 15.67 months (95% CI = 4.24, NA). Common grade 3 toxicities were lymphopenia (67%), leukopenia (33%), and anemia (33%). Although negative, this study establishes a proof-of-concept for the implementation of epigenetic biomarkers (CHFR methylation/MSI) as inclusion criteria in a prospective clinical trial to optimize combinatorial strategies in the era of personalized medicine. Study Highlights WHAT IS THE CURRENT KNOWLEDGE ON THE TOPIC? CHFR silencing via DNA methylation has been suggested to be predictive of taxane sensitivity in diverse tumors. The frequent association of CHFR methylation with microsatellite instability (MSI) suggested a possible combination therapy with gemcitabine, because the MSI phenotype may result in sensitivity to nucleoside analogues. WHAT QUESTION DID THIS STUDY ADDRESS? We hypothesized that metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), which have CHFR methylation and MSI phenotype were sensitive to gemcitabine and docetaxel, and have designed this Phase 2 trial in biomarker-selected mCRC to test this prediction. WHAT DOES THIS STUDY ADD TO OUR KNOWLEDGE? The study enrolled a molecularly defined subgroup of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and showed that the combination is safe in this population. Nevertheless, due to poor enrollment and early termination, no conclusions on the primary and secondary end points could be made. HOW MIGHT THIS CHANGE CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY OR TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCE? This study supports the feasibility of implementing DNA methylation markers in a prospective clinical trial and further efforts toward their application as predictive biomarkers for therapeutic agents in defined subsets of patients are warranted.
A Post-Marketing Surveillance Study to Evaluate the Safety Profile of AlvotereⓇ (Docetaxel) in Iranian Patients Diagnosed with Different Types of Cancers Receiving Chemotherapy. [2022]Docetaxel is a clinically well established antimitotic chemotherapy medication. Labeled docetaxel indications are breast cancer, gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and prostate cancer.

CHFR silencing or microsatellite instability is associated with increased antitumor activity of docetaxel or gemcitabine in colorectal cancer. [2022]Phenotypic differences among cancers with the same origin may be associated with chemotherapy response. CHFR silencing associated with DNA methylation has been suggested to be predictive of taxane sensitivity in diverse tumor types. However, the use of microsatellite instability (MSI:unstable-MSS:stable) as a predictive marker for therapeutic effect has had conflicting results. We examined these molecular alterations as predictors of chemotherapy sensitivity in colorectal cancer (CRC). Differential sensitivity to docetaxel and gemcitabine was compared to potential predictive biomarkers CHFR methylation and MSI status. Cell lines that were MSI-H/CHFR-methylated, MSS/CHFR-methylated and MSS/CHFR-unmethylated were assessed for in vivo sensitivity of CRC cell line xenografts to docetaxel and/or gemcitabine. We observed increased sensitivity in vitro to gemcitabine in cell lines with MSI and docetaxel in cell lines with CHFR inactivation via DNA methylation. In vivo treatment of human xenografts confirmed differential sensitivity, with the MSI-H/CHFR-methylated line RKO having tumor growth inhibition to each agent, and at least additive tumor growth inhibition with combination therapy. The MSS-CHFR-unmethylated line, CACO2 , was resistant to single and combination therapy, while COLO205, the MSS/CHFR-methylated line, showed tumor growth inhibition with docetaxel, but not gemcitabine, therapy. CHFR methylation in CRC cell lines predicted for sensitivity in vitro and in vivo to docetaxel, while MSI-H cell lines were more sensitive to gemcitabine. These data suggest that a subset of CRC patients would be selectively sensitive to a novel combination of gemcitabine and docetaxel, and are the basis for an ongoing clinical trial of this combination in a biomarker-selected patient population.
A preclinical therapeutic schedule optimizing docetaxel plus estramustine administration in prostate cancer. [2018]Androgen-dependent and castration-resistant prostate cancer (PC) is usually sensitive to docetaxel chemotherapy. Nevertheless, docetaxel resistance frequently appears after several cycles of treatment, raising the problem of salvage treatment for docetaxel-resistant PC patients. Although the combination of docetaxel and estramustine prolongs metastasis-free and overall survival of patients with androgen-independent PC, the use of this modality remains limited in elderly patients or patients with several comorbidities, especially vascular disease or gastrointestinal toxicity, because of unacceptable toxicity including venous thrombosis. The aims of this study were therefore (i) to evaluate the in-vivo efficacy of estramustine combined with docetaxel since initial tumor growth and following the appearance of docetaxel resistance in the androgen-dependent human PC xenograft PAC120, and (ii) to evaluate the efficacy of estramustine in six human androgen-independent PC models derived from PAC120. In docetaxel-resistant tumor-bearing mice, estramustine alone induced a TGD2 of 18 days, whereas the combination of docetaxel and estramustine induced a TGD2 of 50 days (P
Phase I and pharmacologic study of docetaxel and cisplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors. [2018]This phase I study was performed to assess the feasibility of the combination of docetaxel and cisplatin and to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and the side effects with an emphasis on sequence-dependent side effects.
AMG 193 Effective in Multiple Tumor Types. [2023]In a phase I trial of the MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor AMG 193, five of 39 patients with advanced MTAP-deleted solid tumors who had scans following initial treatment experienced partial responses. The responses occurred in five tumor types-esophageal, pancreatic, renal cell, gallbladder, and ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell cancer.
Docetaxel in the management of advanced pancreatic cancer. [2022]The poor outcome of pancreatic cancer with conventional treatment options emphasizes the need for continued research. The benefits of gemcitabine in improving quality of life and survival have been established in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Randomized clinical trials studying the addition of a second drug to gemcitabine, either a classic cytotoxic (5-fluorouracil, cisplatin, irinotecan, pemetrexed, oxaliplatin, or exatecan) or targeted agents (ie, the farnesyl transferase inhibitor R115777 or the metalloproteinase inhibitor marimastat) have not resulted in improvement in survival compared with gemcitabine alone. Although limited activity of docetaxel in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma has been reported in single-agent studies, attractive efficacy results have been documented with docetaxel in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents for the management of advanced pancreatic cancer. Phase I and II trials of docetaxel in combination with gemcitabine, irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil, or thalidomide, as well as trials of docetaxel and radiotherapy, suggest that docetaxel combinations in pancreatic cancer should be further studied in randomized trials.

Potentiation of docetaxel antitumor activity by batimastat against mouse forestomach carcinoma. [2018]Docetaxel is a chemical compound belonging to the taxoid class of anticancer agents. Batimastat (BB-94) is the first matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor entering clinical trials. To improve the treatment of tumors, we studied the combined effects of docetaxel and batimastat on mouse forestomach carcinoma (MFC), and compared them with doxorubicin. In vitro growth curve analysis, MTT assay, and clonogenic assay were used to determine the cytotoxic effect of docetaxel or/and BB-94 on MFC. They showed that docetaxel, but not BB-94, had a significant cytotoxicity and that the effect of docetaxel was not enhanced by BB-94. In an early stage MFC tumor model, an obvious antitumor effect of docetaxel or doxorubicin given iv at maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was observed. Tumor growth inhibition was greater for docetaxel + BB-94 (96.0%) than for doxorubicin + BB-94 (88.0%), docetaxel (89.0%), doxorubicin (68.0%), and BB-94 (33.0%). Docetaxel showed activity against advanced stage MFC tumor in a dose-dependent manner and was more effective at MTD than doxorubicin, with 4/5 regression, 46.5 days tumor growth delay, and 2.8 log10 tumor-cell kill. Our results suggest that docetaxel is an effective new cytotoxic drug against MFC tumor and that BB-94 enhances the antitumor activity of docetaxel in the dose and schedule used.
Docetaxel for treatment of solid tumours: a systematic review of clinical data. [2022]Docetaxel is a semisynthetic taxane, a class of anticancer agents that bind to beta tubulin, thereby stabilising microtubules and inducing cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. Docetaxel was first approved for the treatment of anthracycline-refractory metastatic breast cancer in the mid-1990s. Since then, several randomised trials have reported improved time-to-progression, overall survival, or both in metastatic breast cancer treated with single-agent docetaxel or docetaxel-based combination regimens. Data from two adjuvant trials have shown a survival benefit with the addition of docetaxel to standard anthracycline-based regimens in patients with high-risk early breast cancer. In four randomised studies, docetaxel improved survival in locally advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer. Moreover, two trials have shown that docetaxel combined with estramustine or corticosteroids improves survival in metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer. Here, we review major randomised phase III trials with docetaxel in the treatment of solid malignant disease.
