STYLE (NCT03449173): A Phase 2 Trial of Sunitinib in Patients With Type B3 Thymoma or Thymic Carcinoma in Second and Further Lines

Phase 2N = 44NCT03449173

Population
Patients with pretreated advanced or recurrent type B3 thymoma or thymic carcinoma in second and further lines; 12 with thymoma and 32 with thymic carcinoma enrolled.
Design
Multicentre, Simon two-stage phase 2 trial, March 2017 to January 2022. Patients with pretreated type B3 thymoma or thymic carcinoma were enrolled in two cohorts and assessed separately. Sunitinib 50 mg daily for 4 weeks followed by a 2-week rest (schedule 4/2) until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoint: objective response rate. Secondary endpoints: progression-free survival, overall survival, disease control rate and safety.
Primary endpoint
ORR
Arms
  • Type B3 thymoma cohort (experimental, n = 12): Sunitinib 50 mg daily for 4 weeks, then 2 weeks of rest
  • Thymic carcinoma cohort (experimental, n = 32): Sunitinib 50 mg daily for 4 weeks, then 2 weeks of rest

ORRThymoma cohort at stage 1 (n=12) and thymic carcinoma cohort at stage 2primaryProto 20230%—The intervals printed are 90% confidence intervals: 0.0-22.1 for the thymoma cohort at stage 1, after which the thymoma cohort was closed, and 9.0-40.4 for thymic carcinoma at stage 2, where the primary endpoint was met. In thymic carcinoma the stage 1 response rate was 16.7% (90% CI 3.1-43.8). In the intention-to-treat analysis, disease control rate was 91.7% (95% CI 61.5-99.8) in thymoma and 89.3% (95% CI 71.8-97.7) in thymic carcinoma. Grade 3 or worse treatment-related adverse events: 25.0% in thymoma and 51.6% in thymic carcinoma.
