Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Phase Ib: Percentage of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Days 1 to 28 of Cycle 1 (Cycle length = 28 days)

DLT: 1 of the following toxicities, at least possibly related to ipatasertib or apitolisib. 1) Grade ≥ 3 non-hematologic, non-hepatic major organ AE; 2) Grade ≥ 3 febrile neutropenia; 3) Grade ≥ 4 neutropenia (absolute neutrophils less than \[\<\] 500 per microliter) lasting greater than (\>) 7 days; 4) Grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia associated with acute hemorrhage; 5) Grade ≥4 thrombocytopenia; 6) Grade ≥4 anemia; 7) 1 episode of fasting Grade ≥4 hyperglycemia or 3 episodes of fasting Grade 3 hyperglycemia on separate days within 7 days, as determined by laboratory blood glucose evaluation; 8) Grade ≥3 elevation lasting for \> 48 hours for hepatic transaminase or liver-specific alkaline phosphatase or total bilirubin. Adverse events were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v 4.0.

Phase Ib: Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Baseline up until 30 days following the last administration of study treatment or until initiation of another anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 10 months).

An Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

Phase Ib: Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) of Ipatasertib and Apitolisib
Days 1 to 28 of Cycle 1 (Cycle length = 28 days)

RP2D is a dose of a drug which would be used in Phase II stage of the study. RP2D was to be determined based on maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in Phase Ib stage of the study. The highest dose level (in 3+3 escalation scheme) with an acceptable safety profile and with a minimum of 6 participants at which fewer than one-third of participants experienced a DLT was declared the MTD and RP2D.

Phase II: Radiographic Progression Free Survival (rPFS) (Intent-To-Treat [ITT] Population)
Screening up to radiographic progression or death, whichever occurred first (assessed at screening, after Cycles 3, 5, 7, 9, every three cycles [12 weeks] thereafter up to end of treatment [up to 3.6 years overall]) (cycle length = 28 days)

rPFS: Time from randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression, as determined by investigator review of tumor assessments via CT scan and bone scans, or death on study from any cause, whichever occurred first. Progression was defined as follows: Soft tissue mass (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors \[RECIST\] 1.1): at least 20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study and absolute increase of at least 5 mm, progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions. Bone: ≥ 2 new bone lesions plus 2 additional at confirmation on a second bone scan ≥ 4 weeks later (\< 12 weeks after randomization). ≥ 2 new bone lesions consistent with progression, without need for confirmatory bone scan (≥ 12 weeks after randomization).

Phase II: rPFS in Participants With Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog (PTEN) Loss
Screening up to radiographic progression or death, whichever occurred first (assessed at screening, after Cycles 3, 5, 7, 9, every three cycles [12 weeks] thereafter up to end of treatment [up to 3.6 years overall]) (cycle length = 28 days)

rPFS: Time from randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression, as determined by investigator review of tumor assessments via CT scan and bone scans, or death on study from any cause, whichever occurred first. Progression was defined as follows: Soft tissue mass (RECIST 1.1): at least 20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study and absolute increase of at least 5 mm, progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions. Bone: ≥ 2 new bone lesions plus 2 additional at confirmation on 2nd bone scan ≥ 4 weeks later (\< 12 weeks after randomization). ≥ 2 new bone lesions consistent with progression, without need for confirmatory bone scan (≥ 12 weeks after randomization). PTEN status was assessed by RUO IHC assay that was performed at ICR, UK. Samples with 100% of the tumor with no PTEN staining were classified as "ICR PTEN loss". Number of participants analyzed=participants with PTEN loss.

Frequently asked questions about Apitolisib

What is Apitolisib used for?

Apitolisib is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of prostate cancer, specifically castration-resistant prostate cancer in patients previously treated with docetaxel chemotherapy. It was evaluated in combination with abiraterone acetate. It is not an approved therapy and remains in clinical development.

What does Apitolisib target?

Apitolisib is a small molecule inhibitor that targets phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) subunits, including PIK3CA, PIK3CB, PIK3CG, PIK3CD, PIK3R1, and PIK3R2. By inhibiting these targets, it is designed to interfere with PI3K signaling, a pathway relevant to cancer cell growth and survival.

Who is developing Apitolisib?

Apitolisib was developed by Roche Holding AG, which trades under the ticker RHHBY. Roche sponsored the clinical research evaluating the compound in prostate cancer.

What phase is Apitolisib in?

Apitolisib is in Phase 1 development. It is an investigational agent and has not been approved by the FDA. The single registered trial for the drug has been completed, and no trials are currently active.

What clinical trials is Apitolisib in?

Apitolisib was studied in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT01485861, titled a study of ipatasertib or apitolisib with abiraterone acetate versus abiraterone acetate in participants with castration-resistant prostate cancer previously treated with docetaxel chemotherapy. The trial enrolled 298 participants across the United States and several European countries.

Was the Apitolisib trial randomized and placebo controlled?

Yes. The completed Phase 1 trial NCT01485861 was randomized, double blind, and placebo controlled. It enrolled 298 male participants aged 18 years and older with castration-resistant prostate cancer previously treated with docetaxel chemotherapy, and it did not enroll healthy volunteers.
