Bladder Cancer Clinical Trial

Testing Olaparib in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic (Cancer That Has Spread) Bladder Cancer and Other Genitourinary Tumors With DNA-Repair Genetic Changes

Summary

This phase II trial studies how well olaparib works in treating patients with bladder cancer and other genitourinary tumors with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-repair defects that has spread to other places in the body (advanced or metastatic) and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To evaluate the efficacy of olaparib in two cohorts of patients with metastatic/advanced non prostate genitourinary (GU) cancer pre-selected by DNA-repair defects as measured by overall response rate (ORR).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To describe the effect of therapy on progression free survival (PFS). II. To describe the effect of therapy on overall survival (OS). III. To describe the safety/tolerability and drug-related toxicities of olaparib.

IV. To follow patients without the pre-selected DNA-repair defects for survival.

CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the proportion of patients with DNA-repair pathway-mutated genes in metastatic non-prostate GU cancer (patient cohort referred for screening).

II. To correlate levels of baseline circulating tumor cells (CTCs) with survival in untreated patients.

III. To explore tumor-mutational profiles in metastatic tumor biopsies, saliva "normal" DNA, changes in tumor or peripheral immune characteristics, or tumor associated somatic mutation load in blood DNA in response to treatment.

IV. To explore changes in plasma cytokines and correlate with clinical response.

V. To correlate levels of circulating endothelial cells with clinical outcome. VI. To correlate levels of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) with clinical outcome.

VII. To correlate peripheral immune and DNA damage response transcriptional signatures with clinical outcomes.

VIII. To determine the effectiveness of using next-generation sequencing (NGS) to identify DNA-repair pathway gene defects in tumor samples and circulating DNA and identify patients with non-prostate GU cancer suitable for PARP inhibition.

IX. To determine the expression of Schlafen 11 (SLFN11) in tumor versus (vs.) stroma cells, and the potential tumor heterogeneity based on SLFN11 expression.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts.

COHORT I: Patients that have cancer-associated DNA-repair gene mutations receive olaparib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

COHORT II: Patients that do not have cancer-associated DNA-repair gene mutations undergo blood sample collection at baseline.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 4 weeks, every 2 months for 1 year, then every 3 months thereafter.

Note: FoundationOneCDx (F1CDx) is a next generation sequencing based in vitro diagnostic device for detection of substitutions, insertion and deletion alterations (indels), and copy number alterations (CNAs) in 324 genes and select gene rearrangements, as well as genomic signatures including microsatellite instability (MSI) and tumor mutational burden (TMB) using DNA isolated from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue specimens
Patients with benign or variants of unknown significance as determined by FoundationOne FoundationOneCDx (F1CDx) panel and Genetics Review Panel review will be included to be followed for survival
Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as >= 20 mm (>= 2 cm) by chest x-ray or as >= 10 mm (>= 1 cm) with computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or calipers by clinical exam
Evidence of disease progression as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (version 1.1) during treatment or after the most recent dose of therapy with at least one platinum-based regimen of chemotherapy and/or an immune-checkpoint inhibitor (atezolizumab, pembrolizumab, nivolumab, avelumab or durvalumab) (2-week washout from chemotherapy and 4-weeks washout from monoclonal antibodies is required)
Age >= 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of olaparib in patients < 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study, but will be eligible for future pediatric trials
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 1 (or Karnofsky >= 70%)
Leukocytes >= 3,000/mcL
Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL
Platelets >= 100,000/mcL
Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (for subjects with documented Gilbert's disease total bilirubin =< 3.0 mg/dL)
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) =< 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (for subjects with liver metastasis AST/ALT =< 5 x ULN)
Creatinine clearance >= 50 mL/min/1.73 m^2

Patients must be able to tolerate oral medications and not have gastrointestinal illnesses that would preclude absorption of olaparib

Pre-clinical data indicate that olaparib adversely affects embryofetal survival and development. Therefore, women of child-bearing potential and their partners should agree to use two (2) highly effective forms of contraception throughout study participation and for at least one (1) month after the last dose of olaparib. Male study participants should avoid fathering a child or donating sperm during the study and for three (3) months after the last dose of olaparib.

Note: Olaparib is a PARP inhibitor with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is a potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with olaparib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with olaparib
Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document or patients with impaired decision making capacity (IDMC) if they are represented by a legally authorized representative (LAR)
Patients must provide archival tumor sample for mutation analysis or be willing to undergo mandatory screening biopsy. In the event that the patient cannot undergo biopsy and tumor is not available, Foundation Medicine liquid biopsy will be performed

Postmenopausal or evidence of non-childbearing status for women of childbearing potential: negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 28 days of study treatment and confirmed prior to treatment on day 1. Postmenopausal is defined as:

Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents. Patients may be on other clinical trials or treatment during screening to determine eligibility
Patients with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events. A scan to confirm the absence of brain metastases is not required. Patients with spinal cord compression unless considered to have received definitive treatment for this and evidence of clinically stable disease for 28 days
History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition of olaparib

Patients receiving any medications or substances that are inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A are ineligible. A washout period prior to starting olaparib for patients on CYP3A inhibitors is 2 weeks; and the required washout period for CYP3A inducers is 5 weeks for enzalutamide or phenobarbital and 3 weeks for other agents

Because the lists of these agents are constantly changing, it is important to regularly consult a frequently-updated medical reference texts such as the Physicians' Desk Reference. As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the patient will be counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the patient is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product
Pregnant women are excluded from this study because olaparib is a PARP inhibitor agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects

Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
Other severe, acute, or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration or that may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for the study
Immunocompromised patients, e.g., patients who are known to be serologically positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
Patients with known active hepatitis (i.e., hepatitis B or C) due to risk of transmitting the infection through blood or other body fluids
