About this study

Official title: Pilot Biomarker Study of the Integrin AlphavBeta3 Antagonist Cilengitide (EMD121974) in Combination With Sunitinib

This clinical trial is studying how well giving cilengitide together with sunitinib malate works in treating patients with advanced solid tumors or glioblastoma multiforme. Cilengitide and sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving cilengitide together with sunitinib malate may kill more tumor cells. Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients receiving cilengitide and sunitinib malate may help doctors understand the effect of these drugs on biomarkers.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the effect of cilengitide on changes in serum VEGFR2, a pharmacodynamic biomarker of sunitinib malate effects on endothelial function, during the withdrawal phase of a course of sunitinib malate in patients with advanced solid tumors or glioblastoma multiforme.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the effect of cilengitide exposure on changes in VEGFR2 over the 14-day interval from the end of sunitinib malate administration to the end of course 1 in these patients.

II. Test the safety and efficacy of this regimen in these patients. III. Develop serum collagen c-telopeptide crosslinks (CTx) as a pharmacodynamic marker for cilengitide.

OUTLINE:

COURSE I: Patients receive oral sunitinib malate on days 1-14 (weeks 1-2). Patients are then randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive cilengitide IV over 1 hour twice in weeks 3 and 4.

ARM II: Patients do not receive treatment in weeks 3 and 4.

COURSE II: Patients in both arms then receive oral sunitinib malate on days 1-14 and cilengitide IV over 1 hour twice in weeks 3 and 4. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up periodically.

  2. Progression-free survival

    Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Summarized by type, grade, and attribution and compared using chi-squared tests or Fisher exact tests, as appropriate.

    Measured: Assessed up to 30 days after completion of study treatment

  3. Response rate evaluated using RECIST criteria

    Summarized by type, grade, and attribution and compared using chi-squared tests or Fisher exact tests, as appropriate.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment

  4. Serum type I collagen c-telopeptide crosslink measurements

    Measured: Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment

  5. Toxicity rates, graded using the NCI CTCAE version 4.0

    Compared using chi-squared tests or Fisher exact tests, as appropriate.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cilengitide, Clinical Observation and Laboratory Biomarker Analysis in people with Adult Giant Cell Glioblastoma and Adult Glioblastoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 71 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2015. 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 was stopped early. 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?

Change in serum VEGFR2 (time frame: Over 14 days from the end of sunitinib to the end of course 1). 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 28 Apr 2015.
