Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Phases 1 and 2: Number of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)
up to 1385 days

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related, that occurred after a participant provided informed consent. Abnormal laboratory values or test results occurring after informed consent constituted AEs only if they induced clinical signs or symptoms, were considered clinically meaningful, required therapy (e.g., hematologic abnormality that required transfusion), or required changes in the study drug(s). A TEAE was defined as any AE either reported for the first time or the worsening of a pre-existing event after the first dose of study drug.

Phase 1: Number of Participants With Any Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT)
up to Day 28

A DLT was defined as the occurrence of any protocol-defined toxicity occurring up to and including Day 28, except those with a clear alternative explanation (e.g., disease progression) or transient (≤72 hours) abnormal laboratory values without associated clinically significant signs or symptoms based on investigator determination. All DLTs were assessed by the investigator using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03 criteria.

Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of INCB001158 When Given in Combination With Each Chemotherapy Regimen
up to Day 580

The RP2D of the combination of INCB001158 and chemotherapy in 21-day (for gemcitabine/cisplatin) or 28-day (for mFOLFOX6 or paclitaxel) treatment cycles in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors was determined. After the dose escalation was completed, the INCB001158 dose level that was pharmacologically active and tolerable in combination with each chemotherapy regimen (i.e., maximum tolerated dose or lower) was determined to be the RP2D. The RP2D was then further assessed in tumor expansion cohorts in Phase 2.

Phase 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR)
up to 1385 days

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as determined by investigator assessment of radiographic disease as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 (v1.1). CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of any new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in the short axis to \<10 millimeters (mm). PR: complete disappearance or at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference the baseline sum diameters, no new lesions, and no progression of non-target lesions. Analysis was conducted by cohort (tumor type) in Phase 2 because different tumor types could have different response criteria or different background response rates.

Number of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)
up to study completion (up to approximately 3.5 years)

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related, that occurred after a participant provided informed consent. Abnormal laboratory values or test results occurring after informed consent constituted AEs only if they induced clinical signs or symptoms, were considered clinically meaningful, required therapy (e.g., hematologic abnormality that required transfusion), or required changes in the study treatment(s). A TEAE was defined as any adverse event that started or worsened after the first dose of study drug.

Frequently asked questions about INCB001158

What is INCB001158 used for?

INCB001158 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of advanced or metastatic solid tumors, including metastatic cancer and biliary tract cancer (BTC). It has been evaluated in clinical trials for conditions such as colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, bladder cancer, urothelial cancer, mesothelioma, endometrial cancer, gastroesophageal cancer, and ovarian cancer.

Who makes INCB001158?

INCB001158 is being developed by Incyte Corporation, a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol INCY. The company has sponsored clinical trials investigating the drug as a single agent and in combination with other therapies for advanced solid tumors.

What phase is INCB001158 in?

INCB001158 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. Two Phase 1 trials have been completed, evaluating the drug as a single agent and in combination with chemotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

What clinical trials is INCB001158 in?

INCB001158 has been studied in two completed clinical trials. NCT02903914 evaluated the drug as a single agent and in combination with immune checkpoint therapy in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors, enrolling 260 participants. NCT03314935 studied the drug in combination with chemotherapy in subjects with solid tumors, including biliary tract cancer, enrolling 149 participants.

How does INCB001158 work?

INCB001158 is an arginase inhibitor. By inhibiting arginase, an enzyme that breaks down arginine, the drug aims to increase arginine levels in the tumor microenvironment, which may enhance anti-tumor immune responses. This mechanism is being explored as a potential treatment strategy for various solid tumors.
