Trial summary

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open Label Multiple Dose, Safety and Pharmacokinetic Study of Intravenously Administered Humanized Anti-VEGF Monoclonal Antibody (HuMV833) to Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapy in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the preliminary tolerability and safety of monoclonal antibody VEGF (MOAB VEGF) in patients with relapsed or refractory progressive solid tumors. II. Determine the optimum biologically active dose of MOAB VEGF for further evaluation based on exploratory methods. III. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of MOAB VEGF in these patients. IV. Determine a safe dose of MOAB VEGF for further clinical studies. V. Determine the dose limiting toxicity and pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients. VI. Determine the response rate in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation, multicenter study. Patients receive monoclonal antibody VEGF (MOAB VEGF) IV over 1 hour on days 1, 15, 22, and 29. Patients with partial response (PR), complete response (CR), or stable disease (SD) after completion of the fourth dose may receive weekly infusions for up to 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of MOAB VEGF until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and optimum biologically active dose (OBAD) are determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which 1 of 6 patients experiences dose limiting toxicity. The OBAD is defined as the dose at which vascular endothelial growth factor is optimally inhibited. Patients with PR, CR, or SD are evaluated every 6 weeks until disease progression or initiation of another treatment. Patients who discontinue treatment prematurely due to toxicity are followed weekly until resolution of any associated toxicity. Patients who discontinue treatment after the fourth dose of MOAB VEGF for any reason other than toxicity are followed every month for up to 6 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 25 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing bevacizumab in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC at 4 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Netherlands, Sweden, United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jul 2012.
