Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of bavituximab when administered via a vein, and to examine how bavituximab behaves in the body - how quickly it is taken up by the body and how long it stays there. The effect of bavituximab on tumor responses will also be examined. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-Label Safety and Pharmacokinetics Study of Chimeric Anti-Phosphatidylserine Monoclonal Antibody (Bavituximab) in Patients With Refractory Advanced Solid Tumor Malignancies

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of bavituximab when administered via a vein, and to examine how bavituximab behaves in the body - how quickly it is taken up by the body and how long it stays there. The effect of bavituximab on tumor responses will also be examined.

Read the detailed description

The genetic variations observed in most advanced cancers decrease the effectiveness of many anti-cancer agents through the development of drug resistance. Therefore, alternative approaches to the direct targeting of cancer cells are urgently needed. Bavituximab is the generic name for a chimeric (human/murine) monoclonal antibody directed against aminophospholipids. Bavituximab is Peregrine's first investigational product under its anti-phospholipid therapy technology platform. Anti-phospholipid therapy is a novel approach to treating cancer. It is based on the finding that aminophospholipids, which are basic components of the inner surface of cells become externally exposed in response to certain disease states such as cancer. Laboratory and animal studies have demonstrated that bavituximab specifically targets cancer cells and inhibits tumor growth in a variety of experimental cancer models. This study will examine the safety and tolerability of bavituximab when administered to patients with advanced solid tumor cancers that are unresponsive to current therapies. Cohorts of 6 patients each will be treated at the starting dose of 0.1 mg bavituximab per kilogram body weight (0.1 mg/kg). Successive patient cohorts will receive 0.3, 1.0 and 3.0 mg/kg of bavituximab. Patients will be followed for a total of 56 days. Patients who demonstrate an objective tumor response will be offered further bavituximab treatment on an extension protocol.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BavituximabDrug

    Bavituximab is a sterile drug solution supplied in glass bottles. Bavituximab will be intravenously administered over approximately 90 minutes on days 0, 7, 14 and 21 (dosage determined based on dose cohort and body weight).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Bavituximab in people with Tumors, run by Peregrine Pharmaceuticals at 6 sites in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. 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 1 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

adverse events (time frame: Study Completion). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 1 Mar 2011.
