  • Have received at least one prior chemotherapy regimen but no more than two chemotherapy regimens for their advanced disease (not containing irinotecan or topotecan).
  • Adjuvant chemotherapy will be considered as a prior chemotherapy regimen only if it is completed less than 6 months prior to enrollment.
  • Patients must be refractory or resistant to standard therapy or for whom standard therapy is not anticipated to be curative and who have progressed through prior regimens.
  • Patients must have measurable disease with at least one lesion that can be accurately measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). The lesion size must be ≥20 mm by conventional radiological techniques or ≥10 mm by spiral CT scan. Disease in an irradiated field as the only site of measurable disease is acceptable if there has been a clear progression of the lesion. PET scans are not suitable for providing these measurements. For patients who are sensitive to contrast, MRI may be used.
  • Patients with CNS metastases are acceptable provided that the disease has been treated (e.g. surgery, whole brain radiotherapy, stereotactic radiotherapy etc.) and the patient is stable for at least two weeks and does not require steroids (at least one week off steroids). Anti-seizure medication is allowed at the discretion of the treating physician.
  • At least 42 days since administration of mitomycin or nitrosoureas, and 28 days since any other chemotherapy, investigational agent, and/or radiation therapy.
  • Have the following laboratory values:
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1500 cells/mm3
  • Platelet count >100,000 cells/mm3
  • Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL
  • Adequate renal function (serum creatinine ≤2 mg/dL) and creatinine clearance ≥45 mL/min (Calculated by Cockroft and Gault method)
  • Adequate hepatic function (bilirubin ≤1.5 mg/dL)
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5 times the institutional upper limit of normal (ULN, or
  • 5 times the ULN if liver metastases are present)
  • Albumin of >3.0 g/dL
  • PT and PTT ≤1.5 times the ULN
  • Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) 0-1.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Intravenous XMT-1001 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This amended expansion phase of the protocol is to further the experience at a dose level of 150 mg CPT eq/m2 in patients with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and to test for preliminary anti-tumor activity in these tumor types. The MTD was initially defined as 113 mg CPT equivalents(eq)/m2 in the dose escalation part of the study. However, in the initial expansion phase (Protocol Amendment 11), 11 patients (10 NSCLC patients and 1 gastric cancer patients) were dosed at 113 mg CPT eq/m2 and less bone marrow toxicity was observed as compared to more heavily pre-treated patients in the dose escalation part of the study. Therefore, this amended expansion phase will investigate the safety and anti-tumor effects of a dose of 150 mg CPT eq/m2.

The study will also determine:

  • The safety and tolerability of XMT-1001 at 150 mg CPT eq/m2
  • The pharmacokinetics (PK) of XMT-1001 (how XMT-1001 behaves in the body) in patients Stage IV non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer
  • Evidence of XMT-1001 anti-tumor activity at 150 mg CPT eq/m2
Read the detailed description

This is an open-label study of XMT-1001 administered intravenously over 4 hours every 21 days (1 Cycle). Blood sampling for PK analyses will be performed immediately prior to dosing, and 9 times after dosing. Patients will be assessed for toxicities known to occur with other drugs of this class, such as bone marrow suppression, elevated liver function enzymes, hemorrhagic cystitis, and diarrhea. Tumor imaging will be performed every 2 cycles.

What participants receive

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

  • XMT-1001Drug

    Also called MER-1001

    XMT-1001 is administered as an IV infusion once every 21 days. This expansion of the Phase 1 study is to confirm the MTD.

Study groups in NCT00455052
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
XMT-1001ExperimentalXMT-1001 is administered I.V. every 21 days. Groups of 3 patients are given one dose and the dose increases for each group. The first dose level is 17 mg/m^2, the next dose level is 30 mg/m^2, followed by dose levels: 50 mg/m^2, 80 mg/m^2, 120 mg/m^2, 150 mg/m^2, and 190 mg/m^2 until disease progressions or unacceptable side effects are experienced.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing XMT-1001 in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer and Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Mersana Therapeutics at 12 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 25 inclusion and 0 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 31 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 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: Every 7 days in each 21 day cycle). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00455052, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Jan 2018.
