About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of the Combination of Bevacizumab, Pertuzumab, and Sandostatin for Patients With Advanced Neuroendocrine Cancers.

The purpose of this Phase II trial will be to define the activity of a VEGF inhibitor

bevacizumab, HER1/HER2 inhibitor pertuzumab, and sandostatin for patients with

advanced neuroendocrine cancers. In particular, the efficacy of bevacizumab and

pertuzumab treatment is of great interest. The primary endpoint of this trial will be

response rate. Toxicity and progression-free survival will be obtained and evaluated.

Read the detailed description
  • To determine overall response rate of patients with low grade neuroendocrine cancer when treated with the combination of bevacizumab, pertuzumab and sandostatin LAR®.
  • To determine the disease control rate (objective response + stable disease), time to treatment progression, progression-free survival, and overall survival in patients with advanced low grade neuroendocrine cancer when treated with bevacizumab, pertuzumab and Sandostatin LAR® treatment.
  • To define the toxicity and safety of the combination of bevacizumab, pertuzumab and Sandostatin LAR® when used in patients with advanced low grade neuroendocrine cancer.

What participants receive

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

  • BevacizumabDrug

    Also called Avastin

    15 mg/kg IV Day 1. The first dose should be administered over

    90 minutes. If no adverse reactions occur after the initial dose, the second dose should

    be administered over a minimum of 60 minutes. If no adverse reactions occur after the

    second dose, all subsequent doses should be administered over a minimum of 30

    minutes. Bevacizumab will be infused prior to pertuzumab.

  • PertuzumabDrug

    Also called Omnitarg, 2C4

    840 mg IV loading dose infused over 60 minutes. The loading dose is given on Cycle 1, Day 1 or as below. Subsequent doses of pertuzumab are 420 mg IV. If the patient tolerates the initial infusion over 60 minutes, the patient may receive subsequent infusions over 30 minutes. Otherwise, pertuzumab should be infused over 60 minutes. Patients should be observed for 30 minutes after completing the pertuzumab infusion.

    If a patient misses a dose of pertuzumab for 1 cycle (i.e., 2 sequential cycles or administrations are 6 weeks or more apart), a re-loading dose (840 mg) of pertuzumab should be given. If re-loading pertuzumab is administered, subsequent doses of 420 mg will then be given every 3 weeks, starting 3 weeks later.

  • Sandostatin LAR® DepotDrug

    Also called Octreotide

    30 mg will be given every 28 days by IM injection. The dose of sandostatin may be increased, at the discretion of the treating physician, if necessary to control symptoms related to tumor secretion of vasoactive peptides.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    The Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI or CT: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Define Toxicity and Safety

    To define the toxicity and safety of the combination of bevacizumab, pertuzumab and Sandostatin LAR® when used in patients with advanced low grade neuroendocrine cancer - defined by grade 3/4, treatment-related toxicity

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    The Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Worsening of Their Disease. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), 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.

    Measured: 18 months

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    The Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Death

    Measured: 18 months

  4. Disease Control Rate

    The Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment or Experience Stable Disease. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI or CT: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD), Neither Sufficient Shrinkage to Qualify For PR, Nor Sufficient Increase to Qualify for Progressive Disease; Disease Control Rate = CR + PR + SD.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bevacizumab, Pertuzumab and Sandostatin LAR® Depot in people with Neuroendocrine Carcinoma, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC at 9 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 21 inclusion and 26 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 5 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 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 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 Sep 2015). 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?

Objective Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: 18 months). 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 5 Feb 2016.
