The treatment

How it is intended to work

This is how the treatment is meant to work. Whether it helps, and how safe it is, is what this trial is testing.

relacorilant. An orally available antagonist of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, relacorilant competitively binds to and blocks GRs. This inhibits the activity of GRs, and prevents both the translocation of the ligand-GR complexes to the nucleus and gene expression of GR-associated genes. This decreases the negative effects that result from excess levels of endogenous glucocorticoids, like those seen when tumors overproduce glucocorticoids. In addition, by binding to GRs and preventing their activity, inhibition with CORT125134 also inhibits the proliferation of GR-overexpressing cancer cells. GRs are overexpressed in certain tumor cell types and promote tumor cell proliferation. NCI Drug Dictionary

Treatments listed in the registry

  • Relacorilant (Drug): Relacorilant will be administered as capsules for oral dosing.
  • Nab-paclitaxel (Drug): Nab-paclitaxel will be administered via IV infusion.
  • Gemcitabine (Drug): Gemcitabine will be administered via IV infusion.

The study

Treatment groups

Na · Sequential · masking: None

Relacorilant in Combination with Nab-paclitaxel and Gemcitabine (Experimental)

The patient will receive relacorilant administered orally under fed conditions, once daily for 3 consecutive days on the day before (excluding Cycle 1 Day -1), the day of, and the day after nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine intravenous (IV) infusions. Various dose levels and dosing schedules of relacorilant, nab-paclitaxel, and gemcitabine will be evaluated. On days when relacorilant, nab-paclitaxel, and gemcitabine are administered, relacorilant will be administered first, then nab-paclitaxel, and gemcitabine last.

Goals

  • Progression-Free Survival (PFS) (Part 2) (From date of enrollment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 12 months)

Other goals

  • Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Relacorilant (Part 1 and Part 2)
  • Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) of Relacorilant (Part 1 and Part 2)
  • Cmax of Nab-paclitaxel (Part 1 and Part 2)
  • AUC of Nab-paclitaxel (Part 1 and Part 2)
  • Overall Survival (OS) (Part 2)
  • Best Overall Response (BOR) (Part 2)
  • Objective Response Rate (ORR) (Part 2)
  • Duration of Response (DoR) (Part 2)
  • Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) (Part 2)
  • Cancer Antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) Kinetics (Part 2)
  • Number of Patients with 1 or More Adverse Events (Part 2)
  • Number of Patients with Treatment-related Adverse Events (Part 2)
  • Number of Patients with Adverse Events by Severity (Part 2)
  • Number of Patients With 1 or More Adverse Events Leading to Study Drug Discontinuation (Part 2)

Planned enrollment: 80 (estimated).
