About this study

Official title: A Two-Arm, Single Center Pase 1b Trial of Bavituximab Plus Ipilimumab in Advanced Melanoma Patients

This is a Open label, two-arm, randomized, two agent, single center trial.

Read the detailed description

This is a Open label, two-arm, randomized, two agent, single center trial.

Study Product(s), Dose, Route, Regimen:

Bavituximab 3mg/kg IVqwk (IV every week) x 14 plus ipilimumab 3mg/kg IVq3wk (IV every 3 weeks) x 4 or ipilimumab 3mg/kg IVq3wk x 4

Administration Schedule:

Patients will be randomized to one of the following arms:

Arm A-Bavituximab 3mg/kg IV over 90 minutes weekly x 2 followed by Bavituximab 3mg/kg IV over 90 minutes weekly x 12 plus ipilimumab 3mg/kg IV over 90 minutes every 3 weeks x 4. Total number of treated patients will be 16.

Arm B-Arm B-Ipilimumab 3mg/kg IV over 90 minutes day 1 followed three weeks later by ipilimumab every 3 weeks x 3. Total number of treated patients will be 8.

Randomization:

There will be a 2:1 randomization of patients to have a 3 week lead-in treatment with bavituximab followed by combination therapy of ipilimumab + bavituximab versus ipilimumab alone. The assigned treatment will be given once subject is registered successfully.

Endpoints:

Toxicities will be assessed via NCI's CTCAE (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) v4.1 toxicity criteria. Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) will be defined as drug-related grade 3-5 adverse events experienced within the first 12 weeks of study treatment. The maximal tolerated dose (MTD) will be exceeded if more than 30% of patients on the study experience DLTs.

DCR will be measured by irRC (Immune-related Complete Response) at weeks 15, 21, 27 using the published algorithm. Disease control rate (DCR) includes complete response (CR), Partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD). Months of survival (MOS) is measured from date of entry into protocol.

Tumor MDSC (Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells), TAM and Treg content will be measured by IHC (ImmunoHistoChemistry). Circulating MDSC, TAM and Treg content will be measured by flow cytometry.

Peripheral blood cytokines will be measured by EIA (EIA test is a series of blood tests for diagnosing HIV infection).

What is being measured

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

  1. Toxicities

    Toxicities will be assessed via NCI's CTCAE v4.1 toxicity criteria. Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) will be defined as drug-related grade 3-5 adverse events experienced within the first 12 weeks of study treatment. The maximal tolerated dose (MTD) will be exceeded if more than 30% of patients on the study experience DLTs.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Disease control rate (DCR)

    DCR will be measured by irRC at weeks 15, 21, 27 using the published algorithm. Disease control rate (DCR) includes complete response (CR), Partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD). Months of survival (MOS) is measured from date of entry into protocol.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Arm A-Bavituximab 3mg/kg IV over 90 minutes weekly x 3 followed by Bavituximab 3mg/kg IV over 90 minutes weekly x 12 plus ipilimumab 3mg/kg IV and Arm B-Ipilimumab 3mg/kg IV over 90 minutes day 1 followed three weeks later by ipilimumab every 3 weeks x 3. in people with Melanoma, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center 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 16 inclusion and 11 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 29 Dec 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 was stopped early (reason given: standard of care improved combination treatment of ipilimumab plus nivolumab.). 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?

Toxicities (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 29 Dec 2016.
