ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
EudraCT number 2012-003762-40
Public title A CR-UK phase I study of BKM120 in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving thoracic radiotherapy
Scientific title A CR-UK phase I dose escalation study of BKM120 in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving thoracic radiotherapy
Acronym BKM120
Serial number at source 13615

3. Patient has not recovered to grade 1 or better (except alopecia) from related side effects of any prior antineoplastic therapy
4. Treatment at the start of study treatment with any drugs known to be moderate or strong inhibitors or inducers of isoenzyme CYP3A4, and the treatment cannot be discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to starting study drug.
5. Presence of active uncontrolled or symptomatic CNS metastases. Patients with asymptomatic CNS metastases may participate in this trial. Any prior local treatment for CNS metastases must have been completed treatment >= 28 days prior to enrolment in the trial (including surgery and radiotherapy).
6. Patient has poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (HbA1c > 8 %)
7. Previous exposure to PI3K, mTOR, or AKT inhibitor

12 .Patient meets the cut-off score of >= 12 in the PHQ9 or a cut-off of >= 15 in the GAD7 mood scale, respectively, or selects a positive response of ‘1, 2, or 3’ to question number 9 regarding potential for suicidal thoughts ideation in the PHQ9 (independent of the total score of the PHQ9)
13. Patient has >=CTCAE grade 3 anxiety
14. Other psychological, social or medical condition, physical examination finding or a laboratory abnormality that the
Investigator considers would make the patient a poor trial candidate or could interfere with protocol compliance or the interpretation of trial results.
15 .Patient has a concurrent malignancy or has had any malignancy (other than NSCLC) in the last 3 years prior to start of study treatment (with the exception of adequately treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ)
16. Patient has had major surgery within 14 days of starting the study drug.
17. Patient has any other concurrent severe, and/or uncontrolled medical condition that would, in the investigator’s judgement contraindicate patient participation in the clinical study (e.g. chronic pancreatitis, chronic active hepatitis).
18. Patient has impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of BKM120.
19. Patients who are known to be serologically positive for Hep B, Hep C or HIV.
20. Patient has active cardiac disease including any of the following:
20.1. LVEF < 50% as determined by MUGA scan or ECHO
20.2. QTc > 480 msec on screening ECG (using the QTcF formula)
20.3. Patient is taking a medication that has a known risk of causing QT interval prolongation or inducing Torsades de Pointes, and the treatment cannot be discontinued or switched to an alternative medication.
20.4. Angina pectoris that requires the use of antianginal medication
20.5. Ventricular arrhythmias except for benign premature ventricular contractions
20.6. Any other cardiac arrhythmia not controlled with medication

21.Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or women of childbearing potential unless effective methods of contraception are used. Women of childbearing potential must use highly effective methods of contraception. Oral contraception, injected or implanted hormonal methods are not allowed as BKM120 potentially decreases the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives. Acceptable methods of contraception are either:
21.1. True abstinence
21.2. Surgical sterilization
21.3. Male partner sterilization
Or use of a combination of any two of the following (a+b):
a) Placement of an IUD or IUS
b) Barrier methods of contraception: condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidalfoam/gel/film/cream/vaginal suppository . Female patients must use acceptable methods of contraception must continue to use contraception for at least 4 weeks after completing BKM120. Male patients (and their female partners) will need to continue to use use contraception for at least 16 weeks after completing BKM120.
22. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test <= 72 hours prior to initiating treatment

Primary outcome measure(s) To determine the safety, dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and MTD of BKM120 with radiotherapy
Secondary outcome measure(s) 1. To evaluate Akt phosphorylation as a predictive marker of response to BKM120; Timepoint(s): Determine phosphorylation status of Akt in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) at baseline, during BKM120 treatment and following B
2. To investigate potential biomarkers that correlate with response to BKM120; Timepoint(s): Measure tumour pAkt and Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) levels and then identify mutation status of RAS, PI3K and EGFR by PCR.
3. To investigate whether BKM120 alters tumour hypoxia and perfusion; Timepoint(s): Changes in 18F-Misonidazole uptake as detected by PET-CT scans.
