CANCER: Trials with potential global reach and other challenging trials

Lead Research Organisation: University College London
Department Name: UNLISTED

Abstract

This program includes clinical trials that either present unusual challenges to design and conduct and/or have the potential for global impact (that is, studies of treatments that may more easily applied in even resource-poor countries).
Some of these trials test ‘repurposing’ an approved and marketed drug in an indication distinct from that for which it was licensed, thereby shortening the time needed to make a drug available to patients, and at lower cost.
Another area of focus has to do with the handful of cancer types in which there is a clear association to particular types of infections, such as hepatitis, helicobacter pylori, and human papilloma virus (HPV).
Finally, we use systematic reviews (compiling data from trials already completed anywhere) to identify areas of potential high-impact for new trials, for instance in relation to accuracy of prostate cancer diagnosis.

Technical Summary

This theme relates to trials that either present unusual challenges to design and conduct and/or have the potential for global impact (that is, studies of specific relevance to both resource-poor and resource-rich countries). Challenging trials include those that draw upon this Unit’s specialised experience, such as those requiring extremely large recruitment numbers and/or practical experience managing international collaboration.
One class of trials with global reach involves tests of ‘repurposing’ an approved and marketed drug in an indication distinct from that for which it was licensed. There is currently considerable interest in re-evaluating commonly prescribed medications for their anti-cancer properties.
Repurposing studies have significant potential benefits. Demonstrating efficacy in a new clinical indication for drugs with known toxicity and pharmacokinetics bypasses or shortens some of the steps of the traditional drug evaluation pathway. It also provides access to drugs that are often relatively simple to administer and considerably less expensive than newer agents still within their patent life, and therefore of particular benefit in resource-limited settings. The assessment of aspirin as an adjuvant therapy in several different cancer types within the Add-Aspirin programme is a classic example of such repurposing, as is the ongoing PATCH trial which is evaluating oestradiol patches, designed originally for use in post-menopausal women, as a treatment for prostate cancer.
Systematic review is a key tool for deciding which agents are the best candidates for further evaluation; statins, vitamin D and metformin (an oral hypoglycaemic agent used to treat diabetes), amongst others, are currently being actively investigated for inclusion in either the STAMPEDE and/or the Add-Aspirin trial platforms.
In low resource countries, approximately one quarter of all cancers have been attributed to four chronic infectious causes: helicobacter pylori, hepatitis B and C, and human papilloma virus (HPV). HPV-associated tumours develop mainly in the ano-genital area and oropharynx and all have similar molecular signatures and clinical characteristics. We are actively exploring the feasibility of new platform trials that will bring together researchers with a common interest in HPV-related (or other infection-related) cancers. HPV cancers all contain foreign HPV antigens, which provides an opportunity to exploit immunological based therapies and strategies that have recently led to improved outcomes in other tumour types.
Some cancer trials fit into our portfolio because of particular challenges and their potential impact. Amongst these is the PROMIS study which is testing, in patients with suspected prostate cancer, a diagnostic pathway that includes Multi-Parametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MP-MRI). Whilst this is a UK-only study, it is in an extremely common disease setting and has the potential to reduce the substantial over-diagnosis and overtreatment of low grade prostate cancers that carry little risk to survival – a common problem across Western countries. Improving the diagnostic accuracy for prostate cancer, the most common neoplasm in men, would have a huge impact on resource usage, outcomes, and quality of life. Perhaps most importantly, it could provide the basis for a sound approach to prostate cancer screening which has thus far proved a challenge to public health authorities internationally.

Data chases and queries are relayed to and from participating UK sites via the CTU, who will intervene as required if a site is identified as performing poorly. As a result a much larger number of UK sites were able to participate (including those where the PI is not a member of the participating EORTC groups). Dr Jeremy Rees acts as the UK Chief Investigator.
Collaborator Contribution The EORTC is the lead organisation and Sponsor for this trial, and oversees all participating international groups, delegating some responsibilities for the trial in the UK to the MRC CTU. The EORTC is responsible in particular for developing and maintaining the clinical trial database, and will be responsible for the trial analysis. The NCRI brain tumour CSG members supported and promoted the trial; the (former) NCRN provided the infrastructure to allow all the UK collaborating sites to take part in the trial.

Title PATCH trial 
Description PATCH is a randomised, non-inferiority, phase III trial comparing the clinical efficacy and side effect profile of transdermal oestradiol (tE2) with Luteinising Hormone Releasing Hormone agonists (LHRHa) in the treatment of locally advanced and metastatic prostate cancer. Transdermal oestradiol avoids first-pass hepatic metabolism and therefore is not expected to be associated with the cardiovascular (CVS) toxicity previously seen with oral oestrogen. It also avoids some of the serious side-effects associated with LHRHa. The primary outcome measures will be overall survival and progression-free survival. The secondary outcome measures include prostate cancer specific survival, hormone levels, CVS and other toxicity, and quality of life. Data from the trial so far have shown promising evidence of the safety and efficacy of tE2. Results from the first stage of the trial have been published (n= 254), showing tE2 produced castrate levels of testosterone similar to LHRHa, with no evidence of excess CVS toxicity. During the second stage, a pre-planned interim analysis (n=638) reviewed by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee in June 2013 led to the trial being extended for a phase III evaluation of the efficacy of tE2. Since June 2017, a new tE2 comparison has been added to the STAMPEDE trial platform to compare tE2 against standard methods for androgen deprivation therapy, to complement the PATCH trial. The clinical efficacy of tE2 will henceforth be evaluated using relevant data from the PATCH and STAMPEDE trials combined, using a meta-analysis approach. This efficient approach enables faster recruitment to the comparison and activation of the comparison at additional UK sites. 
Type Therapeutic Intervention - Drug
Current Stage Of Development Late clinical evaluation
Year Development Stage Completed 2013
Development Status Under active development/distribution
Impact Results from a bone health sub-study embedded within PATCH have shown tE2 protects against the bone mineral density loss seen with LHRHa. In addition, patients on tE2 appear to develop more favourable metabolic profiles and have a number of improved short-term quality of life outcomes compared to those on LHRHa therapy. However, the clinical efficacy of tE2 needs confirming within a phase III trial setting before they can be considered as part of standard care in prostate cancer. 
 
Title PATCH trial Progynova sub-study 
Description Until recently, the patch brand solely used in the PATCH trial was FemSeven. However, it is known that there are differences in the pharmacokinetic properties between different brands of patches. Therefore, a small sub-study embedded within the main trial is currently underway to evaluate an alternative brand of patches, namely the Progynova TS. This is to confirm the appropriate dose regimen for the Progynova for achieving castrate levels of testosterone within this setting. The primary outcome measure is castration rate at 12 weeks. Approximately 70 patients are to be randomised in allocation ratio 2:1 of patches:LHRHa. The sub-study is expected to be completed around end 2016. 
Type Therapeutic Intervention - Drug
Current Stage Of Development Early clinical assessment
Year Development Stage Completed 2015
Development Status Under active development/distribution
Impact Results from the sub-study will be important for ensuring the long-term supply of the patches for the main PATCH trial, and broaden the re-purposing element of the study. 
 
Title PROMIS MRI methods and description of needed validation for widespread use 
Description The MRC PROMIS trial established clearly the potential benefit, and the cost-effectiveness, of an MRI imaging step between identification of patients as possibly needing a prostate biopsy and the trans-rectal biopsy procedure itself. What remains to be done to ascertain whether high quality imaging and consistent radiographic interpretation in high volume can be implemented widely across the NHS.

Title TRISST (TE24) 
Description Surveillance is an increasingly widely used management option for patients with stage I testicular seminoma, but requires regular radiological surveillance in order to detect recurrences early. CT scans are most widely used, but frequency varies considerably, and radiation associated with their use is a serious concern in this young, good prognosis population. The TRISST trial is factorial non-inferiority trial looking at 2 ways of potentially reducing radiation associated with surveillance scanning: a reduced scan frequency and/or replacement of CT scans with MRI scans. The trial is currently open to recruitment, due to complete in 2014, and is funded by CR UK

Title Add-Aspirin Drug Supply Management System 
Description A drug supply management system tailored to the trial requirements has been developed in-house to provide a secure system for coordinating all aspects of the drug supply process in the study. The drug packaging and distribution team, as well as research staff and pharmacists at participating sites will have web-based access to the system, and it will allow close oversight of the whole process by the Trials Unit team. Input from all of the relevant parties has been sought in developing the system and it has been designed in such a way that it can subsequently be adapted for use in future trials conducted at the unit. 
Type Of Technology Software 
Year Produced 2014 
Impact This in-house system may replace the need to out-source the management of drug supply processes, and so will have cost-saving implications both within Add-Aspirin and for future trials.
