About this study

Official title: Dose-finding, Safety, Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Study of AVE1642, an Anti-Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Receptor (IGF-1R/CD221) Monoclonal Antibody, Administered as Single Agent and in Combination With Other Anti Cancer Therapies (Sorafenib or Erlotinib) in Patients With Advanced Liver Carcinoma

The primary objective of the study is to select the dose of AVE1642 to be administered in patients with liver carcinoma not eligible for local treatment.

The secondary objectives of the study are:

  • To evaluate the safety profile of AVE1642 as single agent and the safety profile of combinations with other anti-cancer therapies of interest in liver carcinoma , including detection of immunogenicity.
  • To evaluate pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics profiles of AVE1642 as single agent or any PK interactions when given in combination with other anti-cancer therapies.
  • To assess the preliminary clinical activity in terms of response rate (Complete response + Partial response), duration of responses, stabilisation rate and duration of stabilisation, according to RECIST criteria.
  • To assess the biological activity at the tumor level.
Read the detailed description

AVE1642 will be administered as an IV infusion on day 1 and then every 3 weeks for at least 2 infusions for evaluability requirements. Curative and / or prophylactic management of allergic reactions during infusion will be implemented when needed. The duration of the study for one patient will include a period for inclusion of up to 2 weeks, at least 2 cycles of treatment in dose escalation step (one cycle of AVE1642 alone and at least one cycle of AVE1642 in combination) and at least one cycle of the combination in the extension cohort, followed, when possible, by a minimum of 30-day follow-up after the last drug administration, in order to detect any potential immunogenicity. In the second step, the patients will continue treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or willingness to stop.

The expected enrolment period is 15 months with at least 30 day follow-up after the last patient treated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) based on grade = or > 3 hematological or non-hematological toxicity and on fasting hyperglycemia

    Measured: Cycle 1 and cycle 2 (6 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Anti tumoral activity

    Measured: Every 2 cycles

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing AVE1642, sorafenib and erlotinib in people with Liver Carcinoma, run by Sanofi at 1 site in France.

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 2 inclusion and 15 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Aug 2010. 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 France. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Company decision to discontinue the AVE1642 development program, not due to any safety or efficacy concerns). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) based on grade = or > 3 hematological or non-hematological toxicity and on fasting hyperglycemia (time frame: Cycle 1 and cycle 2 (6 weeks)). 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 4 Aug 2010.
