A Phase 2 Study of ARQ 197 in Patients With Previously-Treated Malignant Mesothelioma
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the objective response rate of patients with malignant mesothelioma who are
treated with ARQ 197 (tivantinib).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the progression-free survival of patients with malignant mesothelioma who
are treated with ARQ 197.
II. To determine the toxicity experienced by patients with malignant mesothelioma who are
treated with ARQ 197.
III. To determine median and overall survival of patients with malignant mesothelioma who
are treated with ARQ 197.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the frequency of mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) gene amplification
in malignant mesothelioma patient tumor samples, and to correlate the results with MET
immunohistochemistry (IHC).
II. To determine whether MET gene amplification results in increased sensitivity to ARQ 197
as observed by improved clinical outcomes (response rate [RR] and progression free survival
[PFS]) compared to those without MET gene over-expression/amplification.
III. To determine whether high baseline serum hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), as well as
changes in serum HGF during treatment at pre-defined early time points, correlate with
treatment efficacy and clinical outcome, as measured by response rate and progression-free
survival.
IV. To identify mutations by sequencing of specific areas of the MET gene in tumor samples
(semaphorin [SEMA], jumonji [JM] and tyrosine kinase domains).
V. To perform immunohistochemistry (IHC) of mesothelioma tumors for HGF, MET and
phosphorylated (p)-MET (pY1003 and pY1230/34/35).
VI. To assess serum HGF and serum soluble MET levels by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay
(ELISA) (R&D systems) pre-treatment, after 2 cycles and at disease progression.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive tivantinib orally (PO) twice daily (BID). Treatment continues in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 1 year.
