Trial overview

Official title: An open label, two-part, Phase I/randomized Phase II study in subjects with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma to determine a dose of afuresertib for administration in combination with carfilzomib (Part 1) and to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and clinical activity of the combination of afuresertib with carfilzomib compared with carfilzomib alone (Part 2)
Trial description: This open-label, 2-part Phase I/ randomized Phase II multi-center study is conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and clinical activity of afuresertib in combination with carfilzomib versus carfilzomib alone, in subjects with relapsed/refractory MM. Part 1 will evaluate 2 dose levels (125 milligrams [mg] and 150 mg of afuresertib) in 16 subjects (approximately 8 in each parallel arm) to determine an optimal dose of afuresertib for administration in combination with carfilzomib in Part 2. If neither of these dose levels are tolerated, an additional dose level of 100mg of afursertib in combination with carfilzomib may be explored in approximately 8 additional subjects. Part 2 will investigate the safety, and clinical activity of the combination of afuresertib with carfilzomib (determined in Part 1) compared to carfilzomib alone, in approximately 100 subjects (50 in each parallel arm). Afuresertib has demonstrated single agent activity in subjects with heavily pretreated MM and carfilzomib is a novel proteasome inhibitor approved in the United States (US) for the treatment of patients with MM. Preclinical data have further demonstrated strong synergy when afuresertib was combined with proteasome inhibitors (bortezomib and carfilzomib). Based on preclinical data with afuresertib plus carfilzomib, it is expected that the combination may provide enhanced benefit in a clinical setting

In situations where laboratory results are outside the permitted range, the investigator may opt to retest the subject and the subsequent within range screening result may be used to confirm eligibility
    • A female subject is eligible to participate if she is of Non-childbearing potential. Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the contraception methods as explained by the Investigator/designee, if they wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of post-menopausal status prior to study enrollment. For most forms of HRT, at least 2 4 weeks will elapse between the cessation of therapy and the blood draw; this interval depends on the type and dosage of HRT. Following confirmation of their post-menopausal status, they can resume use of HRT during the study without use of a contraceptive method.
