About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Cetuximab Plus Dasatinib (BMS-354825) in Advanced Solid Malignancies

This is an open-label, safety study of cetuximab and differing dose levels of dasatinib in adult patients with advanced solid malignancies. Cetuximab will be administered as an intravenous infusion weekly. Dasatinib will be taken orally, once a day, on a continuous schedule at differing dose levels. The primary objective of this study is to determine the toxicities and the maximum tolerated doses of dasatinib when combined with cetuximab for the treatment of advanced solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, phase I study of cetuximab and differing dose levels of dasatinib in adult patients with advanced solid malignancies. Cetuximab will be administered as an intravenous infusion on a standard dose and schedule (weekly, with the first dose at 400 mg/m2 and all subsequent weekly doses at 250 mg/m2). Dasatinib will be administered orally on a continuous schedule at the following dose levels: 100 mg QD (once a day), 150 mg QD, and 200 mg QD. Three to six patients will be enrolled at each dose level, and the final recommended phase II cohort will be expanded to include up to 12 additional patients. The doses will be escalated in successive cohorts of patients. On cycle 1, dasatinib administration will start one day prior to cetuximab administration. One cycle will be defined as 21 days, and cycles will continue until progression of disease or intolerable toxicities occur. Peripheral blood samples and pharmacokinetic blood samples will be taken on days 0, 1, 15, and 16 of Cycle 1 only. In patients with accessible tumor that give consent, patients will undergo a baseline tumor biopsy and a repeat biopsy after 14-21 days of the first cycle.

What participants receive

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

  • Dasatinib (BMS-354825)Drug

    100 mg, 150 mg, or 200 mg per dose escalation schedule; continuous oral dosing on Days 1-21 of each 21-day cycle until progression or unacceptable toxicity develops.

  • Cetuximab (Erbitux, C225)Drug

    Loading dose of IV 400 mg/m^2 on Day 1 of Cycle 1; IV 250 mg/m^2 weekly thereafter each 21-day cycle until progression or unacceptable toxicity develops.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine the toxicities and the maximum tolerated doses of dasatinib when combined with cetuximab for the treatment of advanced solid tumors

    Measured: Anticipated completion date December 2008

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. To determine the objective response rate and overall survival in patients enrolled in the study

    Measured: Anticipated completion date December 2008

  2. To evaluate tissue biomarkers that relate to EGFR and Src signaling pathways on baseline tumor tissue and to study their modulation with cetuximab/dasatinib on post-treatment tumor tissue

    Measured: Anticipated completion date December 2008

  3. To measure Src in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) before and after therapy

    Measured: Anticipated completion date December 2008

  4. To evaluate EGFR gene copy number by FISH on baseline tumor tissue

    Measured: Anticipated completion date December 2008

  5. To determine pharmacokinetic parameters of dasatinib in patients with and without feeding tubes

    Measured: Anticipated completion date December 2008

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Dasatinib (BMS-354825) and Cetuximab (Erbitux, C225) in people with Malignant Solid Tumour, run by University of Pittsburgh at 1 site 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 15 inclusion and 12 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 28 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

To determine the toxicities and the maximum tolerated doses of dasatinib when combined with cetuximab for the treatment of advanced solid tumors (time frame: Anticipated completion date December 2008). 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 28 May 2015.
