A Randomized Phase 2 Pharmacokinetic Trial of Chemotherapy With or Without Panitumumab in Patients With Metastatic and/or Recurrent Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (Amended Version 20-March-2009)
Study Phase: 2 Indication: Metastatic and/or Recurrent Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head
and Neck Primary Objective: To estimate the effect of administration of 9 mg/kg Q3W of
panitumumab on the area under the curve (AUC) of total plasma cisplatin-derived platinum
levels and the average concentration at steady state (Css) of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in
subjects who are receiving cisplatin and 5-FU.
Secondary Objective(s): To estimate the effect of administration of 9 mg/kg Q3W of
panitumumab on the maximum concentration (Cmax) of total plasma cisplatin-derived platinum
levels, AUC and Cmax of free plasma cisplatin-derived platinum in subjects who are receiving
cisplatin and 5-FU.
Hypotheses: This is an estimation sub-study rather than formal hypothesis testing, the
following will be estimated:
1. The effect of administration of 9 mg/kg Q3W of panitumumab at steady state on the
pharmacokinetics of cisplatin will be estimated based on the ratio for AUC with:without
panitumumab of total plasma cisplatin-derived platinum levels. Total plasma
cisplatin-derived platinum levels will be the focus since it has been shown in the
literature that there are correlations between total plasma cisplatin-derived platinum
levels and nephrotoxicity and tumor response (Desoize et al, 1991).
2. The effect of administration of 9 mg/kg Q3W of panitumumab at steady state on the
pharmacokinetics of 5-FU assessed based on the average concentration at steady state
(Css) of 5-FU.
Study Design: Study 20080008 is a PK study.
This study is designed to estimate the effect of panitumumab on the PK of cisplatin and 5-FU
in subjects receiving cisplatin and 5-FU with or without panitumumab.
To maximize any potential effect of panitumumab on the PK of cisplatin and 5-FU, the
collection of PK samples of cisplatin and 5-FU will be taken during cycle 2 of the study,
the point at which the PK of panitumumab is expected to be at steady-state after a dose of 9
mg/kg given every 3 weeks.
Primary and Secondary Endpoints: The primary endpoints for this study are the ratio of
geometric means (with:without panitumumab) for AUC of total plasma cisplatin-derived
platinum and average concentration at steady sate (Css) of 5-FU measured at cycle 2 at which
time panitumumab levels are anticipated to be at steady state. Secondary endpoints are the
ratio of geometric means (with:without panitumumab) for 1) Cmax of total plasma
cisplatin-derived platinum and 2) Cmax and AUC of free plasma cisplatin-derived platinum
measured at cycle 2.
Sample Size: Approximately 45 subjects will participate in Study 20080008. At least fifteen
evaluable subjects (defined as providing sufficient PK samples to permit calculation of AUC
for total plasma cisplatin-derived platinum and average concentration at steady state for
5-FU in cycle 2) per arm will be required. Additional subjects will be sequentially included
until at least fifteen evaluable subjects per arm are achieved. It is therefore estimated
that approximately 45 subjects will need to participate in the study to obtain 30 evauable
subjects.
