To be discussed with CI. Treatment < 28 days prior to randomisation with any investigational drug is not permitted. Patients must not be recruited to any IMP trials that involve an IMP while on NiCCC protocol treatment, and during the follow up period prior to recurrence. Debulking surgery is not permitted on the trial prior to progression. Any invasive procedures such as minor or major surgery should be postponed to at least 4 weeks after the end of treatment with Nintedanib. For urgent interventions, Nintedanib should be interrupted 2 weeks prior to the procedure and not be started before wound healing is complete. If patients require emergency surgery, Nintedanib should be stopped as soon as the procedure is planned and, if possible, at least 48 hours prior to the procedure. Concomitant therapy with the 5-HT3 receptor antagonists tropisetron and/or dolasetron which are metabolized by cytochrome 2D6 should be avoided in patients on Nintedanib since they may lack efficacy in patients who are ‘fast metabolizers’. During treatment with Nintedanib, all trial patients will be advised to avoid sun exposure or artificial UVA/UVB radiation in solaria or tanning booths. If exposure to sunlight cannot be avoided, protective clothing and broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreens should be used. After discontinuation of Nintedanib treatment all protective measures should be continued for at least 2 weeks NiCCC - Initiation Slides V1.0, 21Jul2014 20 Contraception • Patients will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless surgically sterilised by hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation/salpingectomy, or post-menopausal for at least two years. • Patients of child bearing potential who are sexually active must consent to use a highly effective method of birth control for the duration of the trial and for at least 3 months after the end of active therapy. • A highly effective method of birth control is defined as one which results in a low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly, some intrauterine devices (IUDs), sexual abstinence or vasectomised partner. • Hormonal contraceptives should not be used for this trial. Intrauterine systems (IUS) that release hormones are not allowed. The methods of contraception used must be stated in the patient’s medical notes and CRFs. • If a patient becomes pregnant during the trial, the CRUK CTU must be informed immediately. NiCCC - Initiation Slides V1.0, 21Jul2014 21 Pregnancy Reporting • In the event of a pregnancy, a Pregnancy Notification Form (PNF) must sent to CRUK Clinical Trials Unit CTC within 24 hours • The pregnancy should be followed by site to follow pregnancy until term • Any changes in pregnancy such as miscarriage, termination, or birth should be added to the PNF and sent to CRUK Pharmacovigilance as soon as possible • If at birth, there is found to be a defect or congenital anomaly then this will also require immediate reporting to CRUK CTU Pharmacovigilance as a SAE NiCCC - Initiation Slides V1.0, 21Jul2014 22 Translational Research Translational research will be conducted at 3 levels; centres will select their level of participation. • Level 1 Research: Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded Tissue Blocks from original primary surgery Archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded surgical/biopsy specimens of the original primary tumour will be collected. Only ‘surplus’ tissue will be collected, i.e. surplus to diagnostic requirements. Blood Samples for Circulating Endothelial Cells A sample will be collected at screening or day 1 of cycle 1, on day 1 of cycle 2, and at the end of treatment visit. • Level 2 Research: Level 1 samples plus the following: Plasma Samples A sample will be collected at baseline, on day 1 of each cycle, end of treatment visit, follow-up visits and at progression. Plasma Samples for Circulating Tumour DNA A sample will be collected at baseline, on day 1 of each cycle, end of treatment visit, follow-up visits and at progression. NiCCC - Initiation Slides V1.0, 21Jul2014 23 Translational Research • Level 3 Research: Level 2 samples plus the following: Tumour Biopsies Women who consent to additional biopsies will undergo an image-guided tumour biopsy after giving informed consent at least one week prior to starting trial treatment. With continued consent they will have a further biopsy at disease progression. • Baseline blood samples may be taken at screening or on day 1 of cycle 1 prior to treatment. • Samples for circulating endothelial cells will be sent on the day of sampling to the Laboratory of Translational Tumour Immunology, Department of Medical Oncology, Erasmus MC Cancer Institute, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. • All other samples will be processed and stored at site and shipped in batches. • The samples must be collected for all patients who have consented to the translational aspects of the trial on the consent form, please ensure all samples are taken for all consenting patients NiCCC - Initiation Slides V1.0, 21Jul2014 24 Drug Induced Liver Injuries (DILIs) • • • • • • Detection of Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) has become an important aspect of patients’ safety guarding in drug development Any potential DILI has to be reported in an expedited manner to the FDA and be followed-up appropriately, by Boehringer Ingelheim (BI). The follow-up includes a detailed clinical evaluation and identification of possible alternative diseases (e.g. Hepatitis B) and/or other concomitant therapies that might potentially be hepatotoxic. Although rare, a potential for drug-induced liver injury is under constant surveillance by sponsors and regulators. Therefore, this trial requires timely detection, evaluation, and follow-up of laboratory alterations of selected liver laboratory parameters to ensure patients´ safety The concept below has been worked out by BI in order to guard patient´s safety and to respond to regulatory requirements: Definition The following changes in the laboratory values are considered to be a protocol-specific significant adverse event for all patients with: an elevation of ALT and / or AST > 5x ULN without bilirubin elevation measured in the same blood draw sample an elevation of AST and/or ALT >2.5 fold ULN combined with an elevation of bilirubin to >1.5 fold ULN measured in the same blood draw sample Patients showing these laboratory abnormalities need to be followed up until the protocol specific retreatment criteria have been met NiCCC - Initiation Slides V1.0, 21Jul2014 25 Potential DILI Evaluation & Follow Up Procedures - 1 Procedures • Stop Nintedanib • Protocol specified significant events are to be reported in an expedited manner similar to Serious Adverse Events, even if they do not meet any of the seriousness criteria and documented in the CRF • Repeat the following laboratory tests for confirmation within 48 hours: – AST and ALT, bilirubin measurement (total and direct bilirubin), Alkaline Phosphatase, Haptoglobin assay, complete blood count and cell morphology, reticulocyte count, CK, LDH • The results of these repeated laboratory tests must be documented on the DILI Checklist Form (Part 1) and reported to CRUK CTU Pharmacovigilance as soon as they are available. • An evaluation of the patient within 48 hours with respect to but not limited to: – Abdominal ultrasound or clinically appropriate other imaging and investigations adequate to rule out biliary tract, pancreatic, intra- or extrahepatic pathology, e.g. bile duct stones, neoplasm, hepatic tumour involvement, biliary tract, pancreatic or intrahepatic pathology, vascular hepatic conditions such as portal vein thrombosis or right heart failure. – detailed history of current symptoms and concurrent diagnoses and medical history of concomitant drug use (including non-prescription medications, herbal and dietary supplement preparations and eg steroids as concomitant supportive treatment), alcohol use, recreational drug use, and special diets detailed history of exposure to environmental chemical agents NiCCC - Initiation Slides V1.0, 21Jul2014 26 Potential DILI Evaluation & Follow Up Procedures - 2 • • If neither imaging nor laboratory values suggest that cholestasis is the reason for ALT / AST increase, and in particular if AlkPhos < 2x ULN, the following laboratory tests should be performed within 7 days of the DILI first being reported, and results should be recorded on the DILI Checklist Part 2: Clinical chemistry – – – – • Alkaline phosphatase, cholinesterase (either plasma or red blood cell), albumin, PT or INR, CK, CKMB, transferrin, ferritin, cholesterol, triglycerides Serology Hepatitis A (Anti-IgM, Anti-IgG), Hepatitis B (HbsAg, Anti-HBs, DNA), Hepatitis C (Anti-HCV, RNA if Anti-HCV positive), Epstein Barr Virus (VCA IgG, VCA IgM), cytomegalovirus (IgG, IgM), herpes simplex virus (IgG, IgM), varicella (IgG, IgM), parvovirus (IgG, IgM) Perform repeat testing of ALT, AST, bilirubin (with fractionation into total and direct) and Alk Phos at least weekly until the laboratory values return to normal or to the values as defined in the protocol. If, despite stopping Nintedanib, the ALT, AST and bilirubin are NOT returning to normal levels at the first weekly retest, and if all other liver tests are normal – i.e. no other cause for liver dysfunction identified then perform: coeruloplasmin, α-1 antitrypsin, amylase, lipase, fasting glucose, Hepatitis D (Anti-IgM, Anti-IgG), Hepatitis E (Anti-HEV, Anti-HEV IgM, RNA if Anti-HEV IgM positive), Anti-Smooth Muscle antibody (titer), Anti-nuclear antibody (titer), Anti-LKM (liver-kidney microsomes) antibody, Anti-mitochondrial antibody,TSH, Thrombocytes, eosinophils NiCCC - Initiation Slides V1.0, 21Jul2014 27 Potential DILI Evaluation & Follow Up Procedures - 3 • If transaminases and/or bilirubin increase despite cessation of the experimental therapy, more frequent intervals of testing will be required (as per local practice guidelines) • Depending on further laboratory changes, additional parameters identified e.g. by reflex testing will be followed up based on medical judgement and Good Clinical Practices • Nintedanib should only be restarted if all liver function tests return to levels specified for the treatment specified in the protocol. If a patient’s liver function tests recover and another cause of their liver dysfunction is found, i.e. DILI is excluded, and the investigator wishes to restart Nintedanib, this should be discussed with the chief investigator first who will also discuss with the BI medical advisor NiCCC - Initiation Slides V1.0, 21Jul2014 28 Reporting radiological investigations to RECIST Criteria • All radiological investigations must be reported as per protocol / RECIST version 1.1 • Source documentation of this must be available for review if the original report has had to be supplemented to bring it in line with protocol requirements • CTU, Glasgow have produced a worksheet to assist with the documentation of trial specific reporting and will make this available to any participating site upon request to the trial monitor NiCCC - Initiation Slides V1.0, 21Jul2014 29 QoL Questionnaires • Patients will be asked to complete 4 questionnaires: EORTC QLQ C30, OV28, MOST and EQ5D • QoL assessments will be performed at screening, and on day 1 of cycle 2, 4 and 6 • For patients on the chemotherapy arm, QoL assessments will be performed at the end of treatment visit and every 8 weeks on follow up • For patients on Nintedanib arm, QoL assessments will be performed at day 1 of every cycle from cycle 7 onwards, at the end of treatment visit and every 8 weeks on follow up • QoL assessments will continue every 2 months post progression as long as the PI considers it appropriate and the patient continues to consent NiCCC - Initiation Slides V1.0, 21Jul2014 30 Patient Alert Cards • A template Patient Alert Card will be provided for use, to be given to all patients • Patients should be encouraged to carry the card on their person throughout their participation in the trial and for at least 30 days after the last dose of trial drug • The patient should present the card to any healthcare provider she sees and should advise her family that she is carrying the card so that in the event that the patient is seriously ill they can present the card to the healthcare provider on the patient’s behalf • The card will be provided by the recruiting site and will contain local contact details • The patient should be requested to return their Patient Alert Card to site staff during follow up once they are 30 days post treatment completion/discontinuation.

BI will also receive a copy of the DSUR) NiCCC - Initiation Slides V1.0, 21Jul2014 35 Adverse Event Reporting • All AEs must be followed: - until resolution, - or for at least 30 days after discontinuation of trial medication, - or until toxicity has resolved to baseline, - or < Grade 1, - or until toxicity is considered to be irreversible • All AE and toxicities must be graded according to the NCI-CTCAE Version 4.0 • An exacerbation of pre-existing condition is an AE • Any AEs that are related to disease progression should be reported as unrelated to the trial drugs (chemotherapy/Nintedanib). AEs that appear as related to disease progression that are recorded as related to the trial drugs will be queried by CRUK CTU Pharmacovigilance NiCCC - Initiation Slides V1.0, 21Jul2014 36 Definition of a SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENT A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence, not necessarily related to protocol treatment, that: • • • • • • Results in death Is life-threatening Requires hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation Results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity Consists of a congenital anomaly or birth defect Is considered medically significant by the Investigator • Additionally for the NiCCC trial, any event which meets the criteria of a AE of special interest (AESI) must also be reported within 24 hours on a SAE report form. Some AESIs will also meet the criteria of a SAE as noted above and will be processed as a SAE. However all AESI must be reported within 24 hours on a SAE report form whether the SAE criteria is met or not. NiCCC - Initiation Slides V1.0, 21Jul2014 37 Definition of a SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENT Life threatening: • The patient is at immediate risk of death from the event as it occurred. It does not include an event that, had it occurred in a more serious form, might have caused death Requires in-patient hospitalisation: • Is as a hospital admission required for treatment of an adverse event even when the adverse event is not related to the protocol treatment NiCCC - Initiation Slides V1.0, 21Jul2014 38 AEs of Special Interest • • Although not necessarily meeting the definition of a SAE, the following AEs of special interest (AESIs) must be reported on both the CTU and BI SAE Report within 24 hours according to the SAE reporting procedures specified above: Any gastrointestinal and non gastrointestinal perforation, leakage, fistula formation, abscess. In such a case the following additional information must be collected, documented in the respective comment field of the CRF page and the respective narratives of the SAE – – – – – – – • • • Location of perforation, leakage, fistula, abscess Location/extent of abdominal tumour manifestations, Imaging & reports (CT, ultrasound, endoscopy, pathology, etc.) Prior surgery (location, wound healing complications) Concomitant diseases with GI involvement (eg, Crohn’s, vasculitis, tuberculosis, diverticulitis) Thromboembolic events (or predisposition) At least two elevated liver enzymes within a 2 week period, based on laboratory values ALT and/or AST >5 x ULN without bilirubin elevation measured in the same blood draw sample* ALT and/or AST >2.5 x ULN combined with bilirubin >1.5 x ULN measured in the same blood sample* *Where this occurs, patients should be followed up for potential drug-induced liver injury (DILI), and the DILI Checklist Form(s) completed NiCCC - Initiation Slides V1.0, 21Jul2014 39 Reporting SAEs and AESIs • • • • • • • • • • • Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs) must be reported immediately (within 24 hours of knowledge of the event) AESIs only require to be reported for patients randomised to receive Nintedanib SAEs and AESIs are reported using the CTU SAE report form (and BI SAE report form for patients receiving Nintedanib) Sites must complete the SAE report form(s) and fax the report(s) to Pharmacovigilance at the Glasgow CTU fax number +44 (0)141 301 7213 The CTU will create a SAE reference number and will send an acknowledgement fax to confirm receipt (no reference number will be generated for AESIs) The CTU will request additional information if the SAE is unexpected CTU will raise queries for any inconsistent or missing information (but not for AESIs) If the AESI is a potential drug-induced liver injury (DILI), the DILI Checklist Form(s) must also be completed and submitted to Pharmacovigilance at the Glasgow CTU fax number 0141 301 7213 SAEs must be reported locally by the PI at each site in accordance with the local practice at their site (i.e. R&D Office) SAEs and AESIs are required to be reported for up to 30 days after discontinuation of trial medication Any SAE that occurs after 30 days post treatment is also required to be reported if the PI thinks that the SAE is related to the protocol treatment, and is medically important NiCCC - Initiation Slides V1.0, 21Jul2014 40 Reporting Potential DILIs • • • • • • • • • • • • A DILI is a particular criteria of Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESI) that requires additional reporting for patients receiving Nintedanib.
