Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression Free Survival (PFS) Defined as the Time From Randomization Until Date of Assessment of Progression or Death by Any Cause.
On the first day of every 3 cycles (each cycle is 28 days) until disease progression is observed or death, whichever comes first, assessed up to approximately 2 years

Progression will be determined radiographically using RECIST v1.1 (Eisenhauer, 2009) or clinically as assessed by the investigator. Clinical progression is defined as the onset or worsening of symptoms resulting in a global deterioration of health status causing the permanent discontinuation from study treatment and the initiation of emergent treatment (e.g., radiotherapy, surgery, or systemic therapy including chemotherapy or tyrosine kinase inhibitors) for DT/AF. Events of clinical progression will be adjudicated by an independent blinded central Endpoint Adjudication Committee (EAC) which will qualify events of clinical progression for inclusion in the PFS endpoint prior to study unblinding according to an EAC Review Charter.

Objective response rate (ORR)
On the first day of every 3 cycles (each cycle is 28 days) until disease progression is observed or death, assessed up to approximately 3 years.

Objective response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of participants with confirmed complete response (CR) + partial response (PR) assessed by independent Central Imaging Review using RECIST v1.1 (Eisenhauer 2009).

Incidence of Adverse Events, Graded According to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version (v) 5.0
through study completion; an average of 1 year.
Clinical Benefit per RECIST v1.1
1 year

Clinical benefit (CB) is defined as the number of participants assessed with a complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) within 1 year and with no evidence of loss of response nor progression within that year. Response \& progression will be assessed according to the Revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)v1.1, as follows: RECIST v1.1: * CR=Disappearance of all lesions * PR=≥30% decrease in diameter of target lesions * Progressive disease (PD)=20% increase in diameter of target lesion; progression of non-target lesion; or ≥1 new lesion(s) For the overall outcome: * SD=Changes not meeting above criteria * Overall Response (OR)=CR+PR * CB=CR+PR+SD

Progression-free survival (PFS)
From initiation of treatment to occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 2 years

Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method with the 95% confidence interval estimated by the Peto-Peto method.

Incidence of adverse events
Up to 2 years

Will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. All grade 3 or above toxicities deemed related to study drug will be summarized. All grade 1 and 2 toxicities observed in \> 5% of participants and deemed related to study drug will be reported.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter: systemic exposure
Up to Cycle 3 (each cycle lasts 28 days)

PK parameters of nirogacestat will be defined to quantify systemic exposure, drug clearance, terminal half-life and other pharmacokinetic characteristics. These PK parameters will be summarized with descriptive statistics, including means, medians, ranges, and standard deviations.

PK parameter: drug clearance
Up to Cycle 3 (each cycle lasts 28 days)

PK parameters of nirogacestat will be defined to quantify systemic exposure, drug clearance, terminal half-life and other pharmacokinetic characteristics. These PK parameters will be summarized with descriptive statistics, including means, medians, ranges, and standard deviations.

PK parameter: half-life
Up to Cycle 3 (each cycle lasts 28 days)

PK parameters of nirogacestat will be defined to quantify systemic exposure, drug clearance, terminal half-life and other pharmacokinetic characteristics. These PK parameters will be summarized with descriptive statistics, including means, medians, ranges, and standard deviations.

Plasma area under the concentration-time curve from dosing extrapolated to infinity (AUCinf) and maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) for the CYP cocktail probes alone, and coadministered with nirogacestat.
CYP cocktail - Day -3 and Day 15 at predose (-60 minutes) and at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, (10% nominal), 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours and nirogacestat Days 1 through 17 predose trough samples should be obtained within 1 hour of the nominal time from dosing.

Area under the concentration-time curve from dosing extrapolated to infinity. AUCinf = (AUClast + Clast/Kel) where Clast is the plasma concentration at the last quantifiable timepoint estimated from the log-linear regression analysis and Kel is the terminal elimination phase rate constant estimated by linear regression based on observations justified to describe the terminal phase on the log-linear concentration-time profile.

Frequently asked questions about Nirogacestat

What is Nirogacestat?

Nirogacestat is an investigational small molecule being developed by SpringWorks Therapeutics, Inc. (ticker SWTX). It is being studied in desmoid fibromatosis, also called desmoid tumor or aggressive fibromatosis, as well as in ovarian granulosa-stromal tumors. It has received FDA designations including Priority Review, Fast Track, Orphan Drug, and Breakthrough Therapy.

What is Nirogacestat used for in desmoid tumors?

Nirogacestat is being studied for the treatment of desmoid tumors, also known as desmoid fibromatosis or aggressive fibromatosis. Clinical trials are evaluating it both as a single agent in Japanese adults and in combination with cryoablation in the United States. It is also being investigated in ovarian granulosa-stromal tumors.

What does Nirogacestat target?

Nirogacestat is an inhibitor that targets the gamma-secretase complex components APH1A, APH1B, PSEN1, PSEN2, PSENEN, and NCSTN. By inhibiting these presenilin and nicastrin subunits, it interferes with gamma-secretase mediated signaling. This mechanism underlies its investigation in desmoid tumors and other conditions.

Who makes Nirogacestat?

Nirogacestat is developed by SpringWorks Therapeutics, Inc., which trades under the ticker SWTX. The company is running clinical trials of the drug in desmoid tumors and related conditions, including studies in Japan and the United States.

What phase is Nirogacestat in?

Nirogacestat is in Phase 2 clinical development. Two Phase 2 trials are ongoing, one active but not recruiting in Japanese adults with desmoid tumors and one recruiting in the United States studying cryoablation plus Nirogacestat. Two Phase 1 trials in healthy volunteers have been completed.

What clinical trials is Nirogacestat in?

Nirogacestat has been studied in several trials. NCT07170644 is a Phase 2 study in Japanese adults with desmoid tumors and is active but not recruiting. NCT05949099 is a recruiting Phase 2 study of cryoablation plus Nirogacestat in desmoid tumor. Completed Phase 1 trials include NCT07259330 and NCT07171619 in healthy volunteers.

Is Nirogacestat the same as Nirogacestat Hydrobromide?

Yes, Nirogacestat Hydrobromide is another name for Nirogacestat, which is also described as a Nirogacestat oral tablet. These names refer to the same small molecule developed by SpringWorks Therapeutics, Inc. (SWTX) for desmoid tumors and related conditions.
