About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label, Dose Finding Study Evaluating the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of AMG 479 in Subjects With Advanced Solid Tumors

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as AMG-479, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of AMG-479 in treating patients with advanced solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of anti-IGF-1R fully human monoclonal antibody AMG-479 (AMG-479) after multiple intravenous administrations in adult patients with histologically documented advanced solid tumors that are refractory to standard therapy or for which no curative therapy is available.

Secondary

  • To assess the tolerability and to determine the maximum tolerated dose of AMG-479.
  • To assess tumor glucose metabolism using PET/CT scanning with the tracer fludeoxyglucose F 18.
  • To measure insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) levels on peripheral blood cells.
  • To establish whether human anti-human antibodies to AMG-479 develop in patients with advanced solid tumors.
  • To measure the tumor response by modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors.

Tertiary

  • To investigate bone turnover markers.
  • To investigate potential biomarker development by biochemical analysis in blood cells and tumor cells.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

  • Part 1 (dose-escalation): Patients receive escalating doses of anti-IGF-1R fully human monoclonal antibody AMG-479 (AMG-479) IV over 1 hour on days 1, 15, and 29. Patients are evaluated in week 8, and those who demonstrate an objective tumor response or stable disease continue treatment beginning on day 57. Treatment with AMG-479 repeats every 2 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • Part 2 (randomized dose-expansion): Patients are randomized to one of two dose regimens.
  • Arm I: Patients receive AMG-479 IV over 1 hour at a lower dose on day 1.
  • Arm II: Patients receive AMG-479 IV over 1 hour at a higher dose on day 1. Treatment repeats every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Tumor tissue is obtained at baseline and after 4 weeks of study therapy for biomarker analysis.

Blood is drawn periodically for biomarker analysis (insulin-like growth factor [IGF]-1, IGF-binding protein 3 [IGF-BP3], IGF-1 receptor [IGF-1R], cross-linked c-telopeptides of type 1 collagen [CTx], bone-specific alkaline phosphatase [BSAP], and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase [TRAP5b]) and pharmacokinetic studies.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed for at least 4 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ganitumab, laboratory biomarker analysis and pharmacological study in people with Lymphoma and Prostate Cancer, run by Amgen 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 10 inclusion and 55 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 18 Jul 2013. 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?

Safety. The study lists 2 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 18 Jul 2013.
