Trial summary

Certain cancers require the amino acid arginine. Arginine deiminase (ADI) is an enzyme from microbes that degrade arginine. ADI has been formulated with polyethylene glycol, and has been used to treat patients that have cancers that require arginine. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Biopsy proven HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer (dose escalation portion and MTD expansion portion) or advanced solid tumor (dose escalation portion).
  • ASS deficiency (defined as <50% ASS expression) demonstrated on tissue specimen by Immunohistochemistry (IHC). Cytology and fine need aspirate specimens are not acceptable for ASS testing.
  • Unresectable disease or subject refused surgery.
  • Measurable disease as assessed by RECIST 1.1 criteria (Appendix A).
  • Failed available therapy known to confer clinical benefit but no more than 4 prior lines of chemotherapy for metastatic disease.
  • Time to treatment failure from doxorubicin containing regimen ≥ 12 months if previously treated with doxorubicin.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • ECOG performance status of 0 - 2. -

Who cannot join

  • Serious infection requiring treatment with systemically administered antibiotics at the time of study entrance, or an infection requiring systemic antibiotic therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.
  • Prior epirubicin exposure of > 600 mg/m2.
  • Pregnancy or lactation.
  • Expected non-compliance.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class III or IV), cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness, social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Subjects who have had any anticancer treatment prior to entering the study and have not recovered to baseline (except alopecia) or ≤ Grade 1 AEs, or deemed irreversible from the effects of prior cancer therapy. AEs > Grade 1 that are not considered a safety risk by the Sponsor and Investigator may be allowed upon agreement with both.
  • Subjects with history of another primary cancer, including co-existent second malignancy, with the exception of: a) curatively resected non-melanoma skin cancer; b) curatively treated cervical carcinoma in situ; or c) other primary solid tumor with no known active disease present in the opinion of the Investigator will not affect subject outcome in the setting of breast cancer diagnosis.
  • Subjects who had been treated with ADI-PEG 20 previously.

About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Trial of ADI-PEG 20 Plus Doxorubicin in Patients With HER2 Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer or Advanced Solid Tumor

Certain cancers require the amino acid arginine. Arginine deiminase (ADI) is an enzyme from microbes that degrade arginine. ADI has been formulated with polyethylene glycol, and has been used to treat patients that have cancers that require arginine. In this study, ADI will be combined with the well known chemotherapy Doxorubicin and the safety and potential efficacy of this combination will be explored in patients with HER2 Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events

    Assessment of safety and tolerability of ADI-PEG 20 in combination with doxorubicin in HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer

    Measured: 2 years estimated - course of study

  2. Determine preliminary estimates of efficacy, measured by RECIST 1.1 criteria, for ADI-PEG 20 combo with doxorubicin in HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer.

    Measured: 2 years estimated - course of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ADI-PEG 20 in people with HER2 Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Polaris Group 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 8 inclusion and 8 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 14 Apr 2016. 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 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?

Number of Participants with Adverse Events (time frame: 2 years estimated - course of study). The study lists 2 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 14 Apr 2016.
