Ovarian Cancer Fallopian Tube Cancer Peritoneal Cancer Advanced Solid Tumor With Evidence of Germline or Somatic BRCA | Drug: Rucaparib | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
Rucaparib (CO-338; formerly known as PF 01367338 and AG 14699) is an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of poly-adenosine diphosphate [ADP] ribose polymerase (PARP) being developed for treatment of ovarian cancer associated with homologous recombination [HR] DNA repair deficiency (HRD). The safety and efficacy of rucaparib has been evaluated in several Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies.
An oral formulation is the focus of current development efforts. Rucaparib is currently being investigated as monotherapy in patients with cancer associated with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. For this study, it is anticipated that rucaparib will promote cell death in the BRCA-deficient tumor cells of ovarian cancer patients with evidence of a germline mutation, thereby limiting tumor progression and providing therapeutic benefit.

Drug: Rucaparib
Oral tablets administered daily with 8 oz (240 mL) of water on an empty stomach or with food; 21-day cycles of treatment. In Part 1, the initial dose level is 40 mg/day (once a day); doses and dosing frequency(e.g. twice a day or three times a day) will be adjusted until Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) are established. Patients enrolled in Part 2 and Part 3 will receive the RP2D for continuous 21-day treatment cycles until disease progression.

- Overall Response Rate Per RECIST Version 1.1 (Part 2) [ Time Frame: Time from first dose to date of progression, up to approximately 8 months ]The confirmed response rate by RECIST v1.1 is defined as the proportion of patients with a confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) on subsequent tumor assessment at least 28 days after first response documentation.
- Number of Participants With a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 1 Day 21 ]The number of Part 1 (Phase 1) patients who experienced dose limiting toxicities after one cycle (21 days) of study drug.
- PK Profile of Rucaparib - Cmax (Part 1) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 1 Day 15, or approximately 15 days ]Cmax = maximum concentration following administration of rucaparib
- PK Profile of Rucaparib - Tmax (Part 1) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 1 Day 15, or approximately 15 days ]Tmax = time to maximum concentration following administration of rucaparib
- PK Profile of Rucaparib - AUC Last (Part 1) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 1 Day 15, or approximately 15 days ]AUC last = Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last recorded observation
- Progression-free Survival (PFS) According to RECIST v1.1, as Assessed by the Investigator (Part 2) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 to End of Treatment, up to approximately 51 months ]PFS is calculated as 1+ the number of days from the first dose of study drug to disease progression by RECIST, as determined by the investigator or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Duration of Response Per RECIST Version 1.1 (Part 2) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 to End of Treatment, up to approximately 48 months ]Duration of response (DOR) for any confirmed RECIST CR or PR measured from the date of the first occurrence of a response until the first occurrence of PD per RECIST. For patients who continued treatment post-progression, the first date of progression was used for the analysis. Any patients with an ongoing response were censored at the date of the last post-baseline scan.
- Overall Survival (Part 2B) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 to date of death, assessed up to 38 months ]Overall survival (OS) is defined as the number of days from the date of first dose of study drug to the date of death, due to any cause. Patients without a documented event of death will be censored on the date of their last visit.
- Food Effect on PK of Rucaparib - Cmax (Part 1 and Part 3) [ Time Frame: Day -7 to Cycle 1 Day 1, or approximately 7 days ]Cmax = maximum concentration following administration of rucaparib. The effect of food on rucaparib PK parameters was assessed over a 24-hour period in blood samples from a subset of patients. Patients were given a single dose of 40 mg or 300 mg rucaparib (Part 1), or 600 mg rucaparib (Part 3) and were randomized to one of two sequences where they were either Fed (with a high-fat meal) or Fasted (without a high-fat meal) on Day -7 or Cycle 1 Day 1. On each day, patients underwent blood sampling for PK at the specified time points. The median Fed and Fasted Cmax values were calculated for each arm.
- Food Effect on PK of Rucaparib - Tmax (Part 1 and Part 3) [ Time Frame: Day -7 to Cycle 1 Day 1, or approximately 7 days ]Tmax = time to maximum concentration following administration of rucaparib. The effect of food on rucaparib PK parameters was assessed over a 24-hour period in blood samples from a subset of patients. Patients were given a single dose of 40 mg or 300 mg rucaparib (Part 1), or 600 mg rucaparib (Part 3) and were randomized to one of two sequences where they were either Fed (with a high-fat meal) or Fasted (without a high-fat meal) on Day -7 or Cycle 1 Day 1. On each day, patients underwent blood sampling for PK at the specified time points. The median Fed and Fasted Tmax values were calculated for each arm.
- Food Effect on PK of Rucaparib - AUC Last (Part 1 and Part 3) [ Time Frame: Day -7 to Cycle 1 Day 1, or approximately 7 days ]AUC last = Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last recorded observation. The effect of food on rucaparib PK parameters was assessed over a 24-hour period in blood samples from a subset of patients. Patients were given a single dose of 40 mg or 300 mg rucaparib (Part 1), or 600 mg rucaparib (Part 3) and were randomized to one of two sequences where they were either Fed (with a high-fat meal) or Fasted (without a high-fat meal) on Day -7 or Cycle 1 Day 1. On each day, patients underwent blood sampling for PK at the specified time points. The median Fed and Fasted AUC last values were calculated for each arm.
- QTcF Value Change From Baseline (Part 1) [ Time Frame: Screening to End of Treatment, up to approximately 15 months ]QTcF value change from baseline by daily dose corrected using Fridericia's method (QTcF). To evaluate the effects of rucaparib on the QT (interval from Q wave to T wave)/QTc (interval corrected for heart rate) interval, all patients underwent serial ECG monitoring at Screening, on Cycle 1 Day -1, Cycle 1 Day 1, Cycle 1 Day 15, Cycle 1 Day 22, on Day 1 of all subsequent cycles, at the EOT Visit, and as clinically indicated. Worst post-baseline QTcF value was used to categorize each patient.
