About this study

Official title: A Phase 1-2 Trial of MM-121 in Combination With Erlotinib in Three Groups of Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

A Phase 1-2 study of MM-121 in combination with standard therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Read the detailed description

Phase 1: Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) may be enrolled to evaluate the safety, tolerability and recommended Phase 2 dose of MM-121 in combination with standard therapy.

Phase 2: Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) may be enrolled to estimate the progression-free survival of the MM-121 + standard therapy.

Being tested
MM-121, Erlotinib

What participants receive

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

  • MM-121Drug

    Also called SAR256212

    MM-121 (SAR256212) = intravenous solution

  • ErlotinibDrug

    Also called Tarceva

    erlotinib = daily oral tablet

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase 1: To Determine the Recommended Phase 2 Dose of the MM-121 + Erlotinib Combination Based Upon Either the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or the Maximum Feasible Dose of the Combination in Patients With NSCLC.

    To establish the safety of escalating doses of MM-121 in combination with erlotinib in order to determine the recommended phase 2 dose of the combination for the second part of the study. Dose-escalation conducted using standard 3+3 model to determine maximum tolerated dose. Reports of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) were assessed to determine the MTD.

    Measured: From date of first dose to 30 days after termination, the longest 175 weeks

  2. Phase 1: Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose Dependent on Reports of Dose-limiting Toxicities

    Using a 3+3 dose escalation model, the maximum tolerated dose was determined by assessing dose-limiting toxicities in each cohort. If 3 patients were treated and passed the observation window, escalation to the next cohort was initiated. If a DLT was reported, 3-4 additional patients were enrolled and observed. If a DLT was observed in the expanded cohort, this dose was considered to be the maximum tolerated dose. The maximum tolerated dose was defined at the cohort in which two dose-limiting toxicities were observed, or as the highest target dose tested in the absence of DLTs.

    The determined MTD was used as the recommended Phase 2 dose.

    Measured: From date of first dose to 30 days after termination, the longest 175 weeks

  3. Phase 2: Progression-free Survival of the MM-121 + Erlotinib Combination

    This was a time-to-event measure using Progression-Free Survival (PFS) comparing MM-121 + erlotinib vs.erlotinib alone. Progression of disease is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions". Progression free survival was defined as the number of weeks from the date of randomization to the date of death or progression. If neither death nor progression was observed during the study, PFS data was censored at the last non-progressive disease valid tumor assessment unless the patient was discontinued due to symptomatic deterioration. If this occurred, the patient was counted as having progressive disease (PD).

    Measured: Time from first dose to date of progression, with a median of 8.1 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing MM-121 and Erlotinib in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Merrimack Pharmaceuticals at 38 sites in 6 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 22 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 38 sites in United States, Germany, Taiwan, Canada, Spain and 1 more country. 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 22 Aug 2016). 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?

Phase 1: To Determine the Recommended Phase 2 Dose of the MM-121 + Erlotinib Combination Based Upon Either the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or the Maximum Feasible Dose of the Combination in Patients With NSCLC. (time frame: From date of first dose to 30 days after termination, the longest 175 weeks). The study lists 3 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 22 Aug 2016.
