STUDY DESIGN
  • A phase I, open-label, non-randomised,
    multi-centre, dose escalation trial of the PARP
    inhibitor, olaparib, administered in combination
    with standard capecitabine - based
    chemo-radiation combined modality therapy in
    patients with locally advanced, inoperable
    pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Once the
    recommended dose has been determined, an
    additional cohort of 12 patients with
    borderline resectable pancreatic ductal
    adenocarcinoma will be recruited.

5
STUDY OBJECTIVES
  • The objectives of this trial are to explore the
    safety and toxicity of this regimen, to identify
    the dose-limiting toxicities and the maximum
    tolerated dose, and to recommend a dose of
    olaparib for phase II clinical trials. The
    objectives of the additional cohort are to
    determine the tolerability of this regimen in
    this patient population, and to explore
    preliminary data on whether or not this regimen
    can potentially down-stage their disease.

6
STUDY ENDPOINTS
  • Primary Endpoint
  • Maximum tolerated dose of olaparib when
    administered in combination with standard
    capecitabine-based chemo-radiation based on
    clinical and laboratory toxicity (NCI-CTCAE 4.03)
  • Secondary Endpoints
  • Safety and tolerability of olaparib in
    combination with capecitabine-based
    chemoradiation
  • Research/Tertiary Endpoints
  • Pharmacodynamic effects of the combination of
    olaparib with capecitabine-based chemo-radiation
    in blood, hair follicles and, where available,
    tumour samples

7
SLOT REQUESTS AND SLOT ALLOCATION
  • Please note that this applies to the dose
    escalation phase of the study only.
  • Each cohort has 6 places which can be filled
    using the slot request system. Ethically we
    cannot refuse treatment to an eligible patient
    that has consented to a study so each site must
    ensure that they have a slot on the current dose
    cohort before the patient has been approached
    with the patient information sheet.
  • SLOT ALLOCATION
  • CTU will provide a slot request form for the site
    that should be completed and returned to the CTU
    in order for a slot to be allocated.
  • Upon receipt of the slot request form, the CTU
    will process the form and allocate the slot if
    there is one available.
  • Upon confirmation of the slot allocation the site
    can approach the patient with the patient
    information, consent (if patient agrees) and
    begin the screening process.
  • For patients that decline participation, or fail
    to meet the eligibility criteria please contact
    the CTU immediately in order that this slot can
    be re-allocated
  • For slot allocations and requests Calum Innes,

INFORMED CONSENT PROCESS
  • Two original Consent Forms to be completed by a
    clinician (or designee listed on study specific
    training and delegation log)
  • Two originals signed and completed by the patient
  • Date must be on or prior to registration
  • Make one photocopy
  • Original to be filed in Investigator Site File
  • Original to be given to patient
  • Photocopy to be filed in hospital notes
  • Consent Form must not be sent to the CRUK Trials
    Unit, Glasgow
  • FOR ERRORS NOTED AFTER CONSENT
  • Explanatory file note is completed and sent to
    CRUK CTU Glasgow with a copy remaining at site
  • PATIENT RECONSENT
  • If the sponsor requires patients to be
    re-consented then the new version of the patient
    information sheet and consent form must be given
    to the patient at the next clinic visit. The
    consent process should be followed as above.
  • If a patient cannot re-consent (i.e. patient is
    terminally ill) then a file note should be
    written to explain this as well as this being
    documented in the patients notes.
  • The re-consent log in the Investigator Site File
    should be kept up to date

CONSENT WITHDRAWAL
  • When the patient specifically asks to withdraw
    consent at any point in the study. If this
    occurs
  • Document clearly in the patient notes that the
    patient has withdrawn consent, the level of
    consent withdrawal (e.g. withdrawal from
    treatment only or complete withdrawal with no
    follow-up data to be collected) and the reason
    (if the patient has given any)
  • Completed the consent withdrawal notification
    form (NB this is only required if patient
    withdraws consent completely from the stud, e.g
    if patient withdraws from treatment only this
    does not need to be completed)
  • Send the consent withdrawal notification for to
    the CRUK CTU
  • No further follow-up should be collected on the
    patient from that point onwards (should the
    patient have withdrawn this level of consent)
  • Please note that SAEs will continue to be
    collected even if a patient has withdrawn consent
    and this should be explained to the patient

9
PATIENT REGISTRATION FOR STUDY TREATMENT
  • All patients must be registered onto the study
    prior to commencement of any treatment.
  • ? All screening evaluations must be performed as
    per study protocol section 4.1 (please note that
    all evaluations should be performed within 7 days
    of treatment administration except for CT scan
    Chest, Abdomen and Pelvis which should be within
    28 days).
  • ? Patients must be able to start treatment within
    4 weeks of completion of induction chemotherapy.
  • ?Check that patient fulfils eligibility criteria
    as per study protocol section 3.3.
  • There will be no exceptions to the eligibility
    requirements at the time of registration.
    Queries in relation to the eligibility criteria
    should be addressed prior to calling for
    registration. Patients are eligible for the
    trial if all inclusion are met and none of the
    exclusion criteria applies.
  • ? Check the patient has given written informed
    consent as per the informed consent process
  • ? Complete Registration Form.
  • Site staff must contact the Cancer Research UK
    Clinical Trials Unit, Glasgow to register the
    patient. Registration to the study can be done by
    either telephone or fax on the following numbers
  • Tel no 44 141 301 7382
  • Fax no 44 141 301 7192
  • 08.30-17.00 Mon-Thurs and 08.30-16.30 Friday,
    except public holidays
  • Faxes received outside of office hours will
    be processed the next working day

10
Treatment and Duration
  • Patients will have been treated with 12 weeks of
    induction with the standard gemcitabine and
    capecitabine chemotherapy regimen used locally.
    Patients with stable or responding disease,
    tumour diameter of 6 cm or less, and ECOG
    performance status lt 1 will receive escalating
    doses of olaparib administered 3 days before
    radiotherapy and continuing on a Monday to Friday
    basis, in combination with capecitabine (830
    mg/m2 twice daily, Monday to Friday only) in
    combination with radiation (504 Gy in 28
    fractions, Monday to Friday).
  • Patients must start chemoradiation within 4 weeks
    of finishing induction chemotherapy
  • Olaparib will be administered orally twice daily
    as the tablet formulation starting 3 days prior
    to chemo-radiation and then subsequently from
    Monday to Friday with chemo-radiation. The
    starting dose will be 50 mgs PO twice daily, and
    with escalation to other dose levels as below,
    until the maximum tolerated dose is defined. The
    maximum tolerated dose of olaparib when
    administered in combination with capecitabine and
    radiation is defined as the highest dose at which
    0 out of 3 or lt 1 out of 6 patients experience
    dose limiting toxicity.
  • Expansion cohort of 12 patients with borderline
    resectable disease will be treated at the
    Olaparib MTD.

4 300mg twice daily
  • Intermediate dose cohorts -3 and -4 potentially
    could be explored based on ongoing toxicity
    assessment

12
RADIOTHERAPY QUALITY ASSURANCE
  • Radiotherapy Quality Assurance requires to be
    approved by the RTQA group as part of site
    initiation/set-up.
  • Sites will use their QA process for the
    ESPAC5/SCALOP2 studies for PIONEER (there is not
    a standalone QA process for this project)
  • On-trial QA is performed on patients who have
    been recruited into the trial and consists of
  • Individual case reviews For all patients, the
    plan assessment form (PAF) should be reviewed by
    the QA centre before the patient starts treatment
  • Universal data collection Data will be
    collected by the QA centre for all patients
    treated in the trial. This includes planning
    CT images, contours, treatment plan, planned dose
    cubes along with completed PAFs. All data must
    be appropriately anonymised, and in DICOM format
    where possible. Data may be sent by secure
    electronic transfer (preferred) or physical
    media.
  • Please note the QA process differs in the
    protocol and this will be amended to reflect the
    above

13
DOSE LIMITING TOXICITIES (DLT) and MAXIMUM
TOLERATED DOSE (MTD)
  • Any of the following events that occur in the
    period commencing with the start of olaparib
    dosing and until completion of the olaparib plus
    chemo-radiation will be considered a DLT, in the
    opinion of the Chief Investigator, the event is
    due to the combination of olaparib and
    chemo-radiation
  • Grade IV neutropenia lasting for gt7 days
  • Grade III/IV neutropenia with sepsis or with
    fever gt 38.5 0C
  • Grade IV thrombocytopenia
  • Grade IV diarrhoea
  • Grade gt III other non-haematological toxicities
    except for alopecia, and except for nausea or
    vomiting unless patients are taking optimal
    prophylaxis or supportive measures
  • Failure to deliver gt 75 of the planned doses of
    either olaparib or capecitabine due to toxicity
    (unless the toxicity is specifically due to
    capecitabine and is unlikely to have been
    exacerbated by olaparib, e.g. DPD deficiency).
  • Treatment related toxicities that lead to an
    interruption of radiotherapy for more than 7 days
    or a failure to deliver gt 26 fractions of
    radiotherapy
  • In all cases of suspected DLT, clinical judgement
    should be the final arbiter as to whether or not
    the event should be categorised as a DLT.

14
DOSE LIMITING TOXICITIES (DLT) and MAXIMUM
TOLERATED DOSE (MTD)
  • The maximum tolerated dose is defined as the dose
    level immediately below that which causes
    dose-limiting toxicity in gt 1 out of 3-6
    patients.
  • Patients who fail to receive gt75 of the planned
    dose of any of the treatment components
    (olaparib, XRT, capecitabine) for reasons clearly
    not related to olaparib (e.g. disease
    progression) will be unevaluable for DLT
    assessment and will be replaced.
  • The DLT assessment period will be up to 1 week
    post completion of chemoradiation
  • Please note sites will require to submit DLT
    forms weekly during the DLT Assessment Period

15
DOSE ESCALATION DECISION
  • The decision to escalate to the next dose cohort
    will be made by a Safety Review Committee meeting
    with clinical representation from each of the
    participating sites.
  • These meetings will take place regularly
    throughout dose escalation phase of the study.
  • The decision to dose escalate will be based on
    clinical and laboratory safety parameters.

16
SUPPLY OF STUDY DRUGS
  • All drugs administered in this trial are
    considered Investigational Medicinal Products
    (IMPs) for the purposes of this protocol (this
    excludes the 12 week induction chemotherapy)
  • Capecitabine for use in the trial (excluding the
    12 weeks of induction chemotherapy) should be
    taken from usual pharmacy stock there is no
    provision for funding, reimbursement or
    discounted stock. Shelf stock will not require
    IMP labelling but all IMP being dispensed to
    patients must be labelled at site, at the time of
    dispensing, in accordance with all applicable
    regulatory requirements
  • Olaparib is provided free of charge by
    AstraZeneca (this will be distributed by Fisher
    Clinical Services)
  • Full instructions regarding management,
    labelling and accountability for all study drugs
    is given in a separate IMP Management Document
    for the study. Please also note that there are
    separate Pharmacy Site Initiation Slides.

17
Concomitant Medications
  • Please refer to protocol section 5.4 for
    medications permitted/supportive care in relation
    to Chemo-radiation
  • Please refer to protocol section 6 for advice
    regarding concomitant therapy for olaparib
  • Olaparib and CYP3A4
  • Other concomitant medications (including
    anticoagulant therapy)
  • Administration of other anti-cancer agents
  • Medications that may NOT be permitted
  • If there are any queries surrounding any
    medications that patients are taking either prior
    to registration or for the duration of the trial
    then please contact the CRUK CTU in the first
    instance

18
Dose Modifications
  • Once any dose reduction has been implemented,
    this should not be increased at a later time.
  • Non-haematological, non-gastrointestinal toxicity
    (Chemoradiation only)
  • Both capecitabine and RT should be interrupted
    (see Olaparib recommendations on separate slide)
    if patients develop grade 3 toxicity with
    treatment, except for grade 3 anaemia or
    alopecia. Capecitabine and RT can be recommenced
    when toxicities resolve to grade 1 or baseline.
    Grade 3 aesthenia is common during CRT and
    treatment may be continued as long as patients
    are able to do so. For management of
    non-haematological capecitabine related
    toxicity, follow guidance on table on next slide
  • If the creatinine clearance decreases during
    treatment to a value lt 30 mL/min, capecitabine
    should be discontinued. Please refer to the
    current version of the SmPC for Capecitabine

21
Dose Modifications Gastro-intestinal Bleeding
  • Any episode of gastro-intestinal bleeding during
    RT should be investigated with upper GI
    endoscopy. Haemorrhagic gastritis/duodenitis
    should be treated with maximal proton pump
    inhibition and a break from CRT for one week. If
    this recurs after re-starting treatment, CRT
    should be abandoned.

22
Dose ModificationsOlaparib
  • If toxicity occurs that meets the definition of a
    dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) see protocol
    section 3.1 then olaparib treatment will be
    interrupted until recovery to baseline or grade lt
    1, when olaparib can be re-introduced at the dose
    level immediately below that at which the DLT
    occurred. If toxicity does not recover
    adequately to allow re-introduction of treatment
    within 14 days, then olaparib will be permanently
    discontinued.
  • Treatment must be interrupted if any NCI-CTCAE
    grade 3 or 4 adverse event occurs which the
    Investigator considers to be related to the
    administration of olaparib (other than alopecia,
    anaemia, or nausea / vomiting unless the patient
    is taking maximal anti-emetic support).

23
Dose ModificationsManagement of Anaemia
  • Haemoglobin must be maintained above 10g/dl
    throughout CRT if necessary maintain through
    blood transfusion.
  •  
  • Adverse events of anaemia CTCAE grade 1 or 2
    (Haemoglobin (Hb) ltLLN but gt 8 g/dl) should be
    investigated and managed as deemed appropriate by
    the investigator Common treatable causes of
    anaemia (e.g., GI blood loss, iron, vitamin B12
    or folate deficiencies and hypothyroidism) should
    be excluded. In some cases management of anaemia
    may require blood transfusions. However, if a
    patient develops anaemia CTCAE grade 3 (Hb lt
    8g/dl) or worse, without any evidence of GI blood
    loss, then olaparib treatment should be
    interrupted for up to maximum of 4 weeks to allow
    for bone marrow recovery and the patient should
    be managed appropriately. Study treatment can be
    restarted at the same dose if Hb has recovered to
    gt 10 g/dl. Any subsequently required anaemia
    related interruptions, considered likely to be
    dose related, or coexistent with newly developed
    neutropenia, and or thrombocytopenia, will
    require dose reductions of olaparib to the
    previous dose level.
  • If a patient has been treated for anaemia with
    multiple blood transfusions without study
    treatment interruptions and becomes blood
    transfusion dependant as judged by investigator,
    olaparib treatment should be permanently
    discontinued.

If neutrophils and platelets are at different
levels, adjust for the worst level 1Shown to have
0 DLTs in 3 patients or a maximum of 1DLT in 6
patients
25
Dose ModificationsManagement of new or
worsening pulmonary symptoms
  • If new or worsening pulmonary symptoms (e.g.
    dyspnoea) or radiological abnormality occurs, an
    interruption in olaparib dosing is recommended
    and a diagnostic workup (including a high
    resolution CT scan) should be performed, to
    exclude pneumonitis.  Following investigation, if
    no evidence of abnormality is observed on CT
    imaging and symptoms resolve, then olaparib
    treatment can be restarted, if deemed appropriate
    by the investigator.  If significant pulmonary
    abnormalities are identified, these need to be
    discussed with the CRUK CTU.
  • All dose reductions and interruptions (including
    any missed doses), and the reasons for the
    reductions/interruptions are to be recorded in
    the CRF.

26
Dose ModificationsManagement of Nausea and
Vomiting
  • The management of nausea and vomiting is as per
    standard therapy of patients receiving
    chemo-radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer. For
    example, all patients should receive a proton
    pump inhibitor or H2 blocker (starting prior to
    radiotherapy and continued for at least 3 month
    following completion of radiotherapy), and all
    patients should receive regular anti-emetics one
    hour prior to each radiotherapy fraction (e.g.
    Metoclopramide 20mg or ondansetron 4 to 8 mg) and
    as needed.

27
Dose ModificationsDose Delays for Radiotherapy
  • Delays of up to 7 days in radiotherapy are
    permitted once the patient has started
    radiotherapy. Patients should continue taking
    olaparib and capecitabine until radiotherapy is
    completed, unless the cause of the delay is
    thought to be related to olaparib, capecitabine,
    or olaparib/chemoradiation combination.

28
Dose ModificationsOther Dose Modifications
(Olaparib)
  • For non-haematological, non-gastrointestinal
    toxicities that are considered to be related to
    olaparib, the dose of olaparib will be
    interrupted for a grade 3 / 4 event until
    recovery to grade 0 or 1, and reduced by one dose
    level below which has shown to be tolerable
    (shown to have 0 DLTs in 3 patients or a maximum
    of 1 DLT in 6 patients) if a DLT occurs.

PHARMACOVIGILANCE
  • Clinical Trial Regulations require
  • Investigators document Adverse Events (AEs) in
    patient notes and the CRF
  • Investigators report Serious Adverse Events
    (SAEs) immediately to the CRUK Clinical Trials
    Unit, Glasgow (CTU)
  • The CTU (on behalf of the Sponsor) make expedited
    reports of Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse
    Reactions (SUSARs) to the Regulatory Authority
    (MHRA), REC, Sponsor and AstraZeneca
  • The CTU will produce the Development Safety
    Update Reports (DSURs)
  • ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING
  • All AEs must be followed
  • - until resolution,
  • - or for at least 30 days after discontinuation
    of study medication,
  • - or until toxicity has resolved to baseline,
  • - or lt Grade 1,
  • - or until toxicity is considered to be
    irreversible
  • All AE and toxicities must be graded according to
    the NCI-CTCAE Version 4.0
  • An exacerbation of pre-existing condition is an
    AE

40
DEFINITION OF A SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENT
  • A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is defined as any
    untoward medical occurrence that is not
    necessarily related to protocol treatment that
  • Results in death
  • Is life-threatening (patient is at immediate risk
    of death from the event as it occurred)
  • Requires hospitalisation or prolongation of
    existing hospitalisation (hospital admission is
    required for treatment of that adverse event,
    even with the adverse event is not related to
    protocol treatment)
  • Results in persistent or significant disability
    or incapacity
  • Consists of a congenital anomaly or birth defect
  • Is considered medically significant by the
    Investigator
  • Life threatening
  • The patient is at immediate risk of death from
    the event as it occurred. It does not include an
    event that, had it occurred in a more serious
    form, might have caused death
  • Required in-patient hospitalisation
  • Is a hospital admission required for treatment of
    an adverse event even when the adverse event is
    not related to the protocol treatment

41
REPORTING SAEs
  • SAEs must be reported immediately (within a
    maximum of 24 hours of knowledge of the event)
  • SAEs are reported using the CRUK CTU SAE report
    form
  • Sites must complete the SAE report form and fax
    to Pharmacovigilance at the CRUK CTU, Fax number
    0141 301 7213
  • The CTU will create a SAE reference number and
    will send an acknowledgement fax to confirm
    receipt
  • CTU will raise queries for any inconsistent or
    missing information
  • SAEs to be reported locally by the PI at each
    site in accordance with the local practice (i.e.
    to ethics committee, local RD)
  • SAEs are required to be reported for up to 30
    days after discontinuation of study medication
  • Any SAE that occurs after 30 days post treatment
    is also required to be reported if the PI thinks
    that the SAE is related to the protocol
    treatment, and is medically important

42
Procedure for Reporting SAEs and SAE Report
Processing
SAE Data Flow Version 24 Oct 2014
43
Procedure for Identifying Unexpected and Related
Events
  • A checklist will be used to identify SUSARs that
    require expedited reporting to the Regulatory
    Authority, REC and Sponsor.
  • The checklist is a list of the events expected to
    occur in patients receiving the study drugs. For
    any SAE that is documented as related to protocol
    treatment (SAR) and is not listed on the
    checklist, the Chief Investigator will be
    contacted for an opinion of SUSAR status
    (unexpectedness).
  • The Chief Investigator is responsible for
    deciding if a SAR requires expedited reporting.
  • SAEs that meet the criteria for SUSARs will be
    reported to the MHRA, REC, AstraZeneca and
    Sponsor where in the opinion of the Chief
    Investigator the event was
  • Related (resulted from administration of any of
    the research procedures)
  • AND
  • Unexpected (type of event is not listed in the IB
    for olaparib or SmPC for capecitabine as an
    expected occurrence)
  • AND
  • Is an interaction between Olaparib and
    chemo-radiation
  • Reports of related and unexpected SAEs will be
    submitted within 7 days for fatal/life
    threatening events and 15 days for all other
    events. We will require sites assistance with
    gathering information for SUSAR reports.

44
MONITORING (1)
  • Central Monitoring
  • Study sites will be monitored centrally by
    checking incoming forms for compliance with the
  • protocol, data consistency, missing data and
    timing. Study staff will be in regular contact
    with site
  • personnel (by phone/fax/email/letter) to check on
    progress and deal with any queries that they
  • may have.
  • On-site and Remote Telephone Monitoring
  • The 1st visit will take the form of a remote
    telephone monitoring visit
  • The time date will be agreed with a member of
    the Site Study Team a separate time date
    agreed with a member of the Clinical Trials
    Pharmacy Department
  • A pro forma covering the questions which will be
    covered during the telephone monitoring visit
    will be sent with confirmation of the
    confirmation of the agreed date
  • Please set aside 50 to 70 minutes for this call.

45
MONITORING (2)
  • The 2nd visit will take the form of an on site
    monitoring visit
  • Investigators and site staff will be notified in
    advance about forthcoming pre arranged monitoring
    visits
  • All patient source documentation should be made
    available to enable Source Document Verification
    by the Clinical Trial Monitor
  • Generally, one full working day is required for
    on-site visits arrangements should be in place
    to facilitate the monitor access on the agreed
    date
  • If sites are able to provide printed
    results/reports these must be filed in the source
    documents
  • If a site is using electronic data reporting
    systems or electronic records hard copies are
    not available the clinical trial monitor must be
    permitted access to the system either by being
    issued with a temporary login or a member of
    staff available for the duration of the visit to
    facilitate electronic access to authorised
    reports/results
  • The pharmacy department responsible for the trial
    will be visited to allow monitoring of the
    pharmacy site file and review of security,
    storage and accountability of trial drugs.
  • All findings will be discussed at an end of visit
    and any unresolved issues raised as Action Points
  • Action Points will be followed up by the monitor
    until resolved
