About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-label Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Angiocal® (PRS-050-PEG40) in Patients With Solid Tumors

The purpose of this study is to determine if Angiocal® (PRS-050-PEG40) is safe and well tolerated when it is injected into the veins of patients with solid tumors. Other purposes of this study are to investigate how the body of the patients reacts to Angiocal®, how the blood level of Angiocal® develops after injection and how the tumor responds to the injection of Angiocal®.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase I, open-label, dose escalation study with Angiocal® in patients with solid tumors using a group sequential adaptive treatment assignment. Patients will be allocated to different dose levels in small cohorts and will receive one single dose application on Day 1, followed by a repeated dosing period. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Angiocal® when administered intravenously to patients with solid tumors. The secondary objectives of the study are the characterization of the pharmacodynamic response, evaluation of the pharmacokinetic profile of Angiocal®, observation of tumor response.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose limiting toxicity

    Dose limiting toxicity is determined by recording and evaluating adverse events / toxicity.

    Measured: Throughout the course of the study

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Pharmacokinetic analysis

    AUC_0- τ; AUC_0-tlast; AUC_0-∞; C_max; T_max; t_½; CL; V_z; V_ss; RA_AUC; RA_Cmax; RL; dose normalized values (norm) for AUC_0-τ and C_max will be determined by dividing the original toxicokinetic parameter by the dose level.

    Measured: Throughout the course of the study

  2. Development of biomarkers in blood over time

    Measured: Throughout the course of the study

  3. Response of target lesions over time

    The objective tumor response for target lesions will be presented over time, employing the categories 'complete response', 'partial response, 'progressive disease´ and 'stable disease' and absolute changes.

    Measured: Throughout the course of the study

  4. ECOG performance status

    ECOG = Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group

    Measured: Throughout the course of the study

  5. Clinical laboratory measures

    Hematology, biochemistry, coagulation parameters, and urinalysis.

    Measured: Throughout the course of the study

  6. Anti-drug antibodies

    Measured: Throughout the course of the study

  7. Results of 12-lead Electrocardiogram by time point

    Changes from the baseline visit will be presented using shift tables (employing the categories 'normal', 'abnormal, clinically not significant' and 'abnormal, clinically significant') and absolute changes in laboratory values, if appropriate. Changes from the baseline visit in QTc between >30 and <60 ms and >60 ms will be listed and summarized separately.

    Measured: Throughout the course of the study

  8. Changes of vital signs from the baseline visit

    Heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature.

    Measured: Throughout the course of the study

  9. Physical examination

    Any changes in physical examination findings from baseline visit will just be summarized, since the physical examiniations will not result in measurable values.

    Measured: Throughout the course of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Angiocal® (PRS-050-PEG40) in people with Solid Tumor, run by Pieris Pharmaceuticals GmbH at 2 sites in Germany.

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 25 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 19 Oct 2011. 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 Germany. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 toxicity (time frame: Throughout the course of the study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01141257, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Oct 2011.
