This phase I/Ib trial tests the safety and best dose of ipatasertib in combination with the usual treatment approach using chemotherapy together with radiation therapy ("chemo-radiation") in patients with head and neck cancer. Ipatasertib is in a class of medications called protein kinase B (AKT) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them. Cisplatin which is a chemotherapy used in this trial is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving ipatasertib in combination with chemo-radiation may be better than chemo-radiation alone in treating patients with advanced head and neck cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ipatasertib in combination with definitive chemoradiation in locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) based on dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess acute and late toxicities, based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.

II. To assess long-term swallowing function, based on gastric tube dependency at 6 and 12 months that is different from baseline.

III. To determine duration and completion rate of prescribed radiation and chemotherapy.

IV. To determine pharmacokinetic profile of ipatasertib in combination with cisplatin and radiation therapy, based on peak and trough blood levels in patients administered ipatasertib orally.

V. To determine pharmacodynamic effects of ipatasertib at the MTD, based on pAKT, pS6 and pPRAS40 as markers of AKT pathway inhibition, and gamma-H2AX as a marker of radiosensitization.

VI. To observe and record anti-tumor activity (objective response rate) by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria, locoregional control, relapse-free survival, and overall survival) of the combination of ipatasertib, cisplatin, and radiation therapy in patients with HNSCC.

VII. To correlate efficacy outcomes with tumor genotype, based on whole exome sequencing of pre-treatment biopsy specimens.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of ipatasertib in combination with fixed-dose cisplatin and radiation therapy followed by a dose-expansion study.

DOSE ESCALATION:

Patients receive ipatasertib orally (PO) once daily (QD) or Monday, Wednesday, and Friday depending on dose level on days 1-28 of each cycle. Patients also receive cisplatin intravenously (IV) weekly on day 1 of cycle 1, weeks 1-4 and day 1 of cycle 2, weeks 1-3 for 7 doses. Patients undergo radiation therapy (RT) daily (Monday-Friday) for 35 fractions during weeks 1-7. Treatment repeats every 28 days for a total of 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), CT, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during screening, follow-up, and as clinically indicated. Patients undergo blood sample collection on trial.

DOSE EXPANSION:

Patients receive ipatasertib PO MTD on days 2-28 or 3-28 of cycle 1 and 1-28 of subsequent cycles. Patients also receive cisplatin IV weekly on day 1 of cycle 1, weeks 1-4 and day 1 of cycle 2, weeks 1-3 for 7 doses. Patients undergo RT daily (Monday-Friday) for 35 fractions during weeks 1-7. Treatment repeats every 28 days for a total of 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo PET/CT, CT, or MRI during screening, follow-up, and as clinically indicated. Patients undergo blood sample collection and tumor biopsy on trial.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 30 days and then every 3 months for up to 2 years.

Patients who receive at least 70% of the prescribed course of ipatasertib on radiation days will be evaluable for dose limiting toxicity assessment. After the escalation phase of the trial is completed, the MTD will be selected using the pooled-adjacent-violators algorithm, a type of isotonic regression, as specified in Liu and Yuan (2015).

Will be assessed according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. Toxicities occurring \> 90 days from the end of radiation will be considered late toxicities. This will include assessment of long-term swallowing function, based on gastric tube dependency at 6 and 12 months as compared to baseline due to the effects of the primary tumor. Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize these toxicities.

Descriptive statistics will also be used to summarize the duration and completion rate of prescribed radiation and chemotherapy.

Assessed based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, as well as locoregional control, relapse-free survival, and overall survival. Two-sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, or log rank test will be used where appropriate to analyze the correlation between efficacy outcomes and pre-treatment genotypic abnormalities in the AKT pathway based on whole exome sequencing and PTEN immunohistochemistry (IHC).

Will be assessed using peak and trough blood levels in patients administered ipatasertib orally during weeks 2 and 3 of study treatment. The combined therapy will be compared to historical PK data for drug alone, in order to assess for a drug-drug interaction.

Based on pAKT, pS6 and PRAS40 as markers of AKT pathway inhibition, and gamma-H2AX as a marker of radiosensitization. Two-sample t-test and Mann-Whitney U test will be used where appropriate to compare values before and after the addition of ipatasertib to chemoradiation.

Two-sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, or log rank test will be used where appropriate to analyze the correlation between efficacy outcomes and pre-treatment genotypic abnormalities in the AKT pathway based on whole exome sequencing and PTEN IHC.

Elimusertib

Quality-of-Life Assessment

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy

Yvonne M Mowery

This phase I trial evaluates the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of combination therapy with elimusertib (BAY 1895344), stereotactic body radiation, and pembrolizumab in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer that has come back (recurrent) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). BAY 1895344 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving BAY 1895344, stereotactic body radiation therapy in combination with pembrolizumab may shrink or stabilize head and neck squamous cell cancer for longer than treatment with radiation and immunotherapy without BAY 1895344.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of BAY 1895344 with concurrent head and neck stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) reirradiation and pembrolizumab.

II. To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of BAY 1895344 in combination with concurrent head and neck SBRT and pembrolizumab.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To observe and record anti-tumor activity (overall response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival) of BAY 1895344, SBRT, and pembrolizumab for recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

I. To identify predictive biomarkers of response to BAY 1895344, SBRT, and pembrolizumab, including, but not limited to the following: genetic alterations of ATM and other deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage response genes, tumor mutational load, circulating tumor DNA, baseline tumor ATM expression, tumor PD-L1 expression, and change in circulating Ki67+ CD8+ T-cells relative to baseline.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of BAY 1895344 and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) given with fixed-dose pembrolizumab.

Patients receive pembrolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Starting on day 7, patients also receive BAY 1895344 orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 7-9 and 14-16 during cycle 1, and before and after each SBRT treatment during cycle 2 for a total of 9 doses. Beginning cycle 2, patients undergo SBRT starting between days 2 and 8 for 3 fractions with 2-3 days between fractions. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT) scan and/or positron emission tomography (PET)-CT scan and collection of blood samples throughout the trial.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 13 weeks for at least 24 months.

Will investigate the association between potential predictive biomarkers of response to treatment. Tumor mutation burden will be categorized as high (above median) or low (equal to or below median). Other biomarker expression levels will be categorized as high versus absent/reduced. The chi-square or Fisher exact test will be used to study associations between expression levels and tumor response (complete response/partial response; stable/progressive disease). Associations with time-to-event endpoints will be investigated using the log rank test. Differences in change in circulating Ki67+ CD8+ T-cells relative to baseline between levels of tumor response will be explored using the t-test or non-parametric equivalent (e.g., Mann-Whitney) if appropriate. Cox regression will be used to explore associations between change in in circulating Ki67+ CD8+ T-cells and time-to-event endpoints. Other biomarkers will be analyzed similarly.

Will be assessed per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.

Will be assessed per CTCAE version 5. The frequency and percentage of adverse events will be provided overall and by dose level for any grade and attribution as well as for grade 3 or greater adverse events, at least possibly related to treatment.

A competing risk analysis will be conducted with local failure, distal failure, and death as competing events. The cumulative incidence and 95% confidence interval for local failure will be estimated. Time to each event will be measured from the start of treatment regimen (day 1 pembrolizumab).

Will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

Defined as a complete response or partial response based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 criteria. The proportion of patients responding to the treatment regimen and corresponding 95% confidence interval estimates will be calculated.

Will be assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy for Patients With Head and Neck Cancer, version 4. The frequency and percentage of responses to the quality of life questionnaire will be summarized at 3, 6, and 12 months post-treatment and interpreted descriptively.
