A Randomized, Double Blind Placebo Controlled Phase 2 Study of FOLFOX Plus or Minus GDC-0449 in Patients With Advanced Gastric and Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) Carcinoma
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine if the addition of hedgehog antagonist GDC-0449 (GDC-0449) to FOLFOX
chemotherapy improves median progression-free survival (PFS) in the first-line treatment of
patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma.
II. To determine the level of baseline hedgehog-pathway activation and correlate with
clinical outcome and response to treatment with GDC-0449.
III. To determine a primary gastric cancer gene expression profile that may predict response
to GDC-0449.
IV. To determine if serum shed collagen epitopes correlate with clinical outcome and may be
used to assess efficacy of GDC-0449 treatment.
V. To determine if circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) correlate with treatment
response and may be used to assess efficacy of GDC-0449 treatment.
VI. To determine if serum expression of VEGF, TGF-β, and IGFBP 3 correlate with clinical
outcome and may be used to assess efficacy of GDC-0449 treatment.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine if the addition of GDC-0449 to FOLFOX chemotherapy increases overall
survival.
II. To determine if the addition of GDC-0449 to FOLFOX chemotherapy increases response rate.
III. To determine if the addition of GDC-0449 to FOLFOX chemotherapy affects toxicity rates.
IV. To assess the hedgehog-pathway expression in those patients who consent to repeat biopsy
at week 4-5 and compare to baseline values and clinical outcome.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to institution and
disease status (advanced vs metastatic). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I: Patients receive FOLFOX chemotherapy comprising oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours,
leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours, and fluorouracil IV over 46-48 hours on day 1. Patients
also receive oral placebo once daily on days 1-14.
ARM II: Patients receive FOLFOX chemotherapy as in arm I. Patients also receive oral
hedgehog antagonist GDC-0449 on days 1-14. In both arms, treatment repeats every 2 weeks in
the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.
Tumor tissue and blood samples are collected and analyzed for gene expression and
biomarkers.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months.
