About this study

Official title: A Phase I/Randomized Phase II Study of the Anti-IGF-1R Monoclonal Antibody IMC-A12 in Combination With Erlotinib Compared With Erlotinib Alone in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

This randomized phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of cixutumumab and to see how well erlotinib hydrochloride works when given together with or without cixutumumab in treating patients with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. It is not yet known whether erlotinib hydrochloride is more effective when given together with or without cixutumumab in treating non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine a tolerable dose of IMC-A12 (cixutumumab) in combination with erlotinib (erlotinib hydrochloride) in the target NSCLC population to be administered in the randomized phase II study section.

II. To determine the difference in PFS between the anti-IGF-1R monoclonal antibody IMC-A12 in combination with erlotinib compared to erlotinib alone in the target NSCLC population.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and adverse event profile of IMC-A12 in combination with erlotinib in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

II. To describe preliminary evidence of clinical activity of the combination of IMC-A12 and erlotinib.

III. To determine the difference in overall response rate (ORR) between the two treatment arms.

IV. To determine the response duration in patients who achieve an objective response in either study arm.

  1. To describe the response rate, time to disease progression, and response duration in the population who cross over to the combination arm after disease progression with single agent erlotinib therapy.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To explore the prognostic/predictive significance of the immunohistochemical, mutational, and cytogenetic profiles from archived tumor tissue of key elements of the EGFR, IGF-1R and other relevant signaling pathways in relationship to clinical benefit from treated individuals in both Part A and Part B sections of the study.

II. To explore the prognostic/predictive significance of serum circulating markers (ligands and binding proteins) and serum proteomic profiles pre-treatment and at progression in both Part A and Part B sections of the study.

III. To explore the impact of SNPs in germline and tumor derived DNA on toxicity and anti-cancer activity within both Part A and Part B sections of the study.

IV. To explore the impact of SNPs in germline DNA on erlotinib pharmacokinetics within both Part A and Part B sections of the study.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study that includes a single-arm safety evaluation phase I followed by a randomized phase II study.

Initially, patients are enrolled in the safety evaluation phase. If ≤ 2 of 10 patients experience a dose-limiting toxicity, then the study may proceed to the randomized phase. Safety evaluation phase I: Patients receive cixutumumab intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 and erlotinib hydrochloride orally (PO) once daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Randomized phase II: Patients are stratified according to performance status, history of smoking (never vs ex vs current), stage of disease (IIIA vs IIIB without malignant effusion vs IIIB with malignant effusion vs IV), EGFR mutation (present vs absent vs not known), and disease histology (squamous vs non-squamous). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM 1: Patients receive erlotinib hydrochloride PO once daily on days 1-21. Patients with documented disease progression may cross over and receive treatment on arm II.

ARM II: Patients receive erlotinib hydrochloride PO as in arm I and cixutumumab IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15. Patients receive treatment in both arms as in the safety evaluation portion. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Archived tissue and blood samples are collected periodically for pharmacokinetic analysis of erlotinib hydrochloride; pharmacogenomic analysis of EGRF, IGF1R, and CYP3A4/5 mutations; IHC and FISH analysis of IGF1R, EGFR, cMET, ras, Akt1, and EMT; proteomic analysis of serum ligand/binding proteins (i.e., IGF1, IGF2, IGFBPs, EGF, HRG, and TGF-α) using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF); mutational status analysis of EGFR and related pathway proteins; and RT-PCR analysis.

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and Tolerability of IMC-A12 in Combination With Erlotinib Hydrochloride as Graded by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (CTCAE) Version 3.0 (DLTs During Cycle One)

    Patients were evaluable for cohort dose escalation/de-escalation decision making either if they experienced DLTs in cycle 1 or if they had completed 24 of the planned 28 days (85%) dosing of erlotinib and three of the four planned days of weekly dosing of cixutumumab (75%) in cycle 1 in cohorts 1 and 2 in the absence of DLTs. In cohort 3, patients were evaluable for tolerability if they had completed 18 days (85%) dosing of erlotinib and had received the planned day 1 dose of cixutumumab.

    Measured: From time of first dose up to 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing cixutumumab, erlotinib hydrochloride and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Stage IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 2 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 35 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 21 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Apr 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 and Tolerability of IMC-A12 in Combination With Erlotinib Hydrochloride as Graded by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (CTCAE) Version 3.0 (DLTs During Cycle One) (time frame: From time of first dose up to 28 days). 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 21 May 2014.
