Type of information: update on patient enrollment
phase: 2
Announcement: update on patient enrollment
Company: Bind Therapeutics (USA - MA)
Product: BIND-014 (docetaxel encapsulated in a polymeric nanoparticle)
Action
mechanism: taxane derivative. BIND-014 is a targeted biodegradable polymeric nanoparticle containing the cytotoxic agent docetaxel. BIND-014 is targeted to prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a cell surface antigen abundantly expressed on the surface of cancer cells and on new blood vessels that feed a wide array of solid tumors. In preclinical cancer models, BIND-014 was shown to deliver up to 20 times more docetaxel to tumors than an equivalent dose of Taxotere. The increased accumulation of docetaxel at the site of disease translated to marked improvements in antitumor activity and tolerability.The development of BIND-014 was funded in part by the National Cancer Institute and the U.S. National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) under its Advanced Technology Program (ATP).
Disease: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with KRAS mutant tumors (mutated Kirsten ras oncogene homolog) or squamous histology
Therapeutic area: Cancer - Oncology
Country: Russian Federation, USA
Trial
details: BIND-014 (docetaxel nanoparticles for injectable suspension) is being studied in patients with v-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutation positive or squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have progressed after treatment of one prior platinum-containing chemotherapy regimen. (NCT02283320 )
Latest
news: * On January 27, 2016, Bind Therapeutics announced that the iNSITE 2 trial in patients with advanced cervical cancer and head and neck cancer has completed enrollment of at least 20 patients in each cohort in the first stage of the trial. A decision is expected on whether to advance to the second stage of the study for head and neck cancer by the end of the first quarter of 2016 and early in the second quarter of 2016 for the cervical cancer cohort. Lastly, the Company announced that enrollment is being discontinued in the cholangiocarcinoma and bladder cancer cohorts in the iNSITE 2 trial due to slower than anticipated enrollment. * On January 7, 2015, Bind Therapeutics announced its 2015 strategic overview and enrollment of the first patient expressing a KRAS mutation in a global, multicenter two-tiered phase 2 trial with BIND-014 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with KRAS mutant tumors (mutated Kirsten ras oncogene homolog) or squamous histology. The trial was driven by positive results from the phase 2 trial trial in NSCLC presented at the EORTC-NCI-AACR Annual Symposium in Barcelona on November 19, 2014, with a confirmed objective response rate of 22 percent (n=9); one KRAS mutant NSCLC PR was also seen in the phase 1 trial with BIND-014, yielding a combined total response rate of 30 percent (n=10). Results from the phase 2 trial also suggested meaningful differentiation in NSCLC patients with squamous histology when compared to historical docetaxel results. BIND-014 results presented at EORTC-NCI-AACR also demonstrated a disease control rate of 66 percent and overall survival of 11.1 months (n=9) in NSCLC patients with squamous histology. BIND intends to begin accruing NSCLC patients with squamous cell histology in the two-tier phase 2 trial in 1Q 2015.
