NCIC CTG, IND-205: A phase II study of PX-866 in patients with recurrent or metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
Bibliographic record
Abstract
5042 Background: PX-866 is an irreversible, pan-isoform inhibitor of Class I PI-3K. Mutations in PIK3CA and loss of PTEN activity lead to activation of AKT signaling; alterations in these genes occur frequently in prostate cancers while activation of the PI-3K/AKT signaling pathway is implicated in prostate cancer progression and treatment resistance. Hence, novel inhibitors of the pathway such as PX-866 are of interest. Methods: In this multicenter, two-stage, phase II study, docetaxel-naïve CRPC pts received PX-866, 8mg daily on a 6-week cycle. Primary endpoint was lack of progression at 12 weeks (PCWG2 criteria). Secondary endpoints included PSA and objective response rates and change in circulating tumor cells (CTC) during treatment. If ≤5 of the first 20 pts were progression free at 12 weeks, the study would stop. Otherwise, 40 pts would be accrued and PX-866 deemed worthy of further study if ≥16 pts were progression free at 12 weeks. Results: 43 pts were accrued after the criteria to progress to stage 2 were met. Median age was 70, ECOG PS was 0/1/2 in 27/15/1 pts, 23 pts had measurable disease, 24 patients had CTC ≥5. Median number of cycles was 2 (range 1–8). Most common adverse events (AE) were diarrhea (27 pts), nausea (25), fatigue (15), vomiting (13), anorexia (15) and grade 1 hypomagnesemia (11); 7 pts discontinued because of toxicity (3 GI, 3 LFTs, 1 fatigue). Grade 3 AEs were diarrhea (5 pts), AST/ALT elevation (4), fatigue (3). 11 patients were progression free at 12 weeks. 16 of the 24 pts with measurable disease were evaluable for response; there were no objective responses but 10 pts had stable disease (2.6-13.9m). One pt had a confirmed PSA response. CTC favorable conversion (from 5 at baseline to <5) was observed in 6/24 evaluable patients (25%). Correlative studies are ongoing. Conclusions: PX-866 is well tolerated and showed modest activity in CRPC but did not meet a priori benchmarks for further development as a single agent in unselected patients. As androgen receptor inhibition promotes PI3K activity in PTEN-loss PC models, the addition of PX-866 in pts whose PSA is rising on abiraterone may reverse resistance and phase B of the study is underway to test this hypothesis clinically. Clinical trial information: NCT01331083.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
