Solid Tumors | Drug: Relacorilant with nab-paclitaxel | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
The study consisted of two segments to evaluate alternative dosing schedules of relacorilant administered at escalating dose levels. Segment I was to evaluate a continuous-dosing regimen and Segment II was to evaluate an intermittent-dosing regimen. Enrollment in Segment I and Segment II were mutually exclusive, and the two segments enrolled participants concurrently.
In Segment I continuous-dosing cohorts, participants received a single nab-paclitaxel lead-in infusion on Day 1 of Week -2 before Cycle 1, and oral relacorilant lead-in once-daily of Week -1 before Cycle 1. After the Data Review Committee review of data for 2 dose levels, the nab-paclitaxel lead-in was discontinued. The lead-in period was followed by oral relacorilant administered continuously once daily, in combination with nab-paclitaxel infusions on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Segment 1 enrolled a total of 64 participants.
In Segment II intermittent-dosing cohorts, participants received a single relacorilant lead-in dose on Day -1 before Cycle 1, followed by oral relacorilant, administered intermittently the day before, the day of, and the day after nab-paclitaxel infusions on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Segment II enrolled a total of 21 participants.

Experimental: Relacorilant with nab-paclitaxel
Participants will be treated with relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel at escalating dose levels in either a Continuous-Dosing Regimen or an Intermittent-Dosing Regimen.
|
Drug: Relacorilant with nab-paclitaxel
Relacorilant is supplied as capsules for oral dosing. Nab-paclitaxel administered as an IV infusion.
Other Names:

- Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicity [ Time Frame: Up to completion of Cycle 1 (up to 28 days) ]The Maximum Tolerated Dose and the development regimen of relacorilant with nab-paclitaxel was determined by the number of participants with dose-limiting toxicities as defined in the protocol.
- Number of Participants With One or More Adverse Events Related to Treatment With Relacorilant [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days after the last dose of study drug (Segment I: up to approximately 2.5 years, Segment II: up to approximately 1.5 years) ]Adverse events were assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03.
- Objective Response Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 512 days ]Objective response rate is defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1) as best response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) from the start of relacorilant or nab-paclitaxel, whichever is earliest, across all time points during study observation period (including both confirmed and unconfirmed responses).
- Clinical Benefit Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 512 days ]Clinical benefit rate is defined as the participants who have achieved CR or PR (including both confirmed and unconfirmed responses), or stable disease for 16 weeks or greater.
- Duration of Response [ Time Frame: From the time of response up to the last disease assessment (up to 512 days) ]Duration of response (DOR) is defined as the date that criteria are met for CR or PR until the first date that progressive disease or death is objectively documented, whichever occurs first. Participants with no documentation of disease progression or death on-study are censored at the date of last available tumor assessment
- Progression-free Survival [ Time Frame: Up to 512 days ]Progression-free survival is defined as the time from date of first dose of relacorilant or nab-paclitaxel, whichever is earliest, to the date of documented disease progression per RECIST v1.1 or death for any cause, whichever occurs first. Participants with no documentation of disease progression or death on-study are censored at the date of last available tumor assessment.
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Up to 512 days ]Overall survival is defined as the time from date of the first dose of relacorilant or nab paclitaxel, whichever is earliest, to the date of death for any cause. Participants with no documentation of death on-study are censored at the date at which they are last known to be alive.
- Best Response Rate in Participants With Tumor Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR) Above or Below the Median Overall Level [ Time Frame: Up to 512 days ]Best response is defined by RECIST v1.1 as the best response recorded from the date of the first dose of relacorilant or nab-paclitaxel, whichever is earliest, across all time points during study observation period (including both confirmed and unconfirmed responses).
- Pharmacokinetics: Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Zero to 24 Hours (AUC0-24) of Plasma Relacorilant [ Time Frame: Segment I: before dosing and up to 24 hours after dosing on Cycle 1 Day 8; Segment II: before dosing and up to 24 hours after dosing on Cycle 1 Day 1 ]
- Pharmacokinetics: AUC0-24 of Plasma Nab-Paclitaxel [ Time Frame: Segment I: before dosing and up to 24 hours after dosing on Cycle 1 Day 8; Segment II: before dosing and up to 24 hours after dosing on Cycle 1 Day 1 ]
- Pharmacokinetics: Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Plasma Relacorilant [ Time Frame: Segment I: before dosing and up to 24 hours after dosing on Cycle 1 Day 8; Segment II: before dosing and up to 24 hours after dosing on Cycle 1 Day 1 ]
- Pharmacokinetics: Cmax of Plasma Nab-Paclitaxel [ Time Frame: Segment I: before dosing and up to 24 hours after dosing on Cycle 1 Day 8; Segment II: before dosing and up to 24 hours after dosing on Cycle 1 Day 1 ]
