Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of participants with Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Up to 24 Months

The Objective Response (ORR) is defined as a complete, unconfirmed complete or partial response as determined by the investigator assessment using IPCG criteria

Number of Participants Who Experienced Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Cycle 1, Days 1-28

A DLT was defined as a Grade 3 or 4 toxicity occurring within the DLT assessment window and assessed to be probably or possibly related to paxalisib. DLTs were graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 4.03. CTCAE Grade 3 is a severe adverse event (AE) and Grade 4 is a life-threatening or disabling AE. DLTs were collected to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), which was defined as the dose level below the dose at which less than 33% of participants experienced a DLT.

Phase 1b - Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (Safety and Tolerability) in patients with malignant brain tumours
12 months

To identify the incidence, nature and severity of adverse events and laboratory abnormalities, with severity determined according to NCI CTCAE v5.0

Phase 1b - To determine the preliminary antitumour activity of the investigational agent administered at the RP2D in patients with molecularly defined malignant brain tumours
12 months

Antitumour activity will be defined on the basis of the following outcomes. If any of the following occur, patients will be considered to have clinically benefitted: For front line unmethylated GBM (MRD): • Progression-free survival (PFS)

Phase 2 - To determine the antitumour activity of investigational agent administered at the RP2D in patients with molecularly defined malignant brain tumours
24 months

Antitumour activity will be defined on the basis of the following outcome: • Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the time from enrolment to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause (whichever occurs first), as determined by the investigator according to RANO

Number of participants treated with molecularly-targeted agents in each treatment arm.
5 Years

Number of CAYA participants (children, adolescents and young adults) with advanced solid tumours (including CNS tumors and non-Hodgkin lymphomas) where molecular sequencing data was used to allocate treatment arms of molecularly-targeted agents.

Recommended phase II dose for each treatment arm
3 Years

Recommended phase II dose of a novel single agent or combination treatment in CAYA participants, determined by dose-limiting toxicities reported as per CTCAE V5.0.

Objective Response Rate (ORR) for each treatment arm.
5 Years

ORR defined as complete response and partial response, as measured by RECIST, RAPNO, INRC or RECIL in CAYA participants treated with molecularly-targeted agents.

Day 1 to Day 8 (or up to Day 10 if discharge criteria not met at Day 8)

Mass balance recovery of total radioactivity (TR) in all excreta (urine and faeces): CumAe (amount excreted) and Cum%Ae

To provide plasma samples for metabolite profiling and structural identification
Day 1 to Day 8 (or up to Day 10 if discharge criteria not met at Day 8)

Collection of plasma samples for metabolite profiling, structural identification, and quantification analysis of paxalisib metabolites

To provide urine samples for metabolite profiling and structural identification
Day 1 to Day 8 (or up to Day 10 if discharge criteria not met at Day 8)

Collection of urine samples for metabolite profiling, structural identification, and quantification analysis of paxalisib metabolites

To provide faecal samples for metabolite profiling and structural identification

Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
PAXALISIBEXPERIMENTALThe research study procedures include: screening for eligibility and study treatment including evaluations and follow up visits. * Paxalisib (GDC-0084) * Each study treatment cycle lasts 28 days, up to 24 months.
Dose Escalation and Expansion CohortsEXPERIMENTALThis is an open-label study. Patients in Stage 1 will be enrolled and sequentially assigned to a dose cohort. The initial cohort will receive an oral dose of 60 mg paxalisib QD (4 x 15 mg capsules). Patients of future dose cohorts will receive paxalisib at increasing levels with 15 mg steps until a dose-limiting toxicity occurs (DLT) occurs. The dose level where \<1/3 of the patients exhibit a DLT will be determined the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). In stage 1, dose escalation will occur for QD dosing. In stage 2, the expansion phase, patients will receive doses of oral paxalisib at the MTD in stage 1, until disease progression or an unacceptable toxicity, whichever occurs first. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to fed or fasted schedules.
Phase 1bEXPERIMENTALThe Phase 1b will evaluate the safety and tolerability of paxalisib in combination with temozolomide and determine their preliminary antitumour activity in patients with molecularly defined malignant brain tumours.
Phase 2EXPERIMENTALThe Phase 2 part of the study will determine the antitumour activity of investigational agents administered at the RP2D in patients with molecularly defined malignant brain tumours.
Arm A PaxalisibEXPERIMENTALDrug: Irinotecan, Drug: Temozolomide, Drug: Paxalisib. Irinotecan starting at 50mg/m2/day, intravenous, on days 1-5, 28 day cycle, 13 cycles. Temozolomide starting at 150mg/m2/day, oral, on days 1-5, 28 day cycle, 13 cycles. Paxalisib starting at 21mg/m2 oral, daily, 28 day cycle, 13 cycles.
Arm C OpdualagEXPERIMENTALDrug: Opdualag, a fixed dose combination of Nivolumab and Relatlimab Opdualag, a fixed-dose combination of Nivolumab 480mg and Relatlimab 160mg, intravenous, on day 1, 28 day cycle, 26 cycles.
[14C]-Paxalisib CapsuleEXPERIMENTALSubjects will be dosed on the morning of Day 1 following an overnight fast of a minimum of 10 h. Subjects will remain resident in the clinical unit until 168 h post dose (Day 8) and this may be extended up to a maximum of 48 h (i.e., up to Day 10).
