About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib, Open-label, Dose Escalation Trial Investigating Different Doses and Schedules of Sym004 in Combination With Platinum-doublets in Subjects With Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase 1b, dose escalation trial of Sym004 administered in combination with 1 of 3 platinum-doublets in subjects with Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

The sponsor decided to discontinue the development of Sym004. Also the decision was made to discontinue the development of Sym004 in NSCLC indication. The decision to discontinue Sym004 in NSCLC was not related to any safety or efficacy findings regarding Sym004. As a result of the early discontinuation of the trial during the dose escalation part, the expansion cohort will no longer be performed hence the pre-specified secondary endpoints are not analyzed and were removed from the protocol based on protocol amendment 2 dated 31 March 2015.

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

  • Part 1: Sym004 6 mg/kg + Cisplatin/GemcitabineDrug

    Sym004 will be administered as an intravenous infusion at a dose of 6 mg/kg weekly until unacceptable toxicity, progressive disease, withdrawal of consent, or until the subject meets any of the criteria for subject withdrawal, or withdrawal from the investigational medicinal product (IMP) in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy regimen of cisplatin/gemcitabine (cisplatin 75 mg/m^2 on Day 1 plus gemcitabine 1250 mg/m^2 on Days 1 and 8 of every 3-Week cycle intravenously for a maximum of 6 treatment cycles).

    Sym004 will be administered as an intravenous infusion at a dose 6 mg/kg weekly until unacceptable toxicity, progressive disease, withdrawal of consent, or until the subject meets any of the criteria for subject withdrawal, or withdrawal from the IMP in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy regimen of cisplatin/pemetrexed (cisplatin 75 mg/m^2 plus pemetrexed 500 mg/m^2 on Day 1 of every 3-Week cycle intravenously for a maximum of 6 treatment cycles).

  • Part 1: Sym004 6 mg/kg + Carboplatin/PaclitaxelDrug

    Sym004 will be administered as an intravenous infusion at a dose 6 mg/kg weekly until unacceptable toxicity, progressive disease, withdrawal of consent, or until the subject meets any of the criteria for subject withdrawal, or withdrawal from the IMP in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy regimen of carboplatin/paclitaxel (carboplatin area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) = 6 milligram per millilitre per minute [mg/mL/min] plus paclitaxel 225 mg/m^2 on Day 1 of 3-Week cycle intravenously for a maximum of 6 treatment cycles).

  • Part 1: Sym004 6/12 mg/kg + Carboplatin/PaclitaxelDrug

    Sym004 will be administered as an intravenous infusion at a dose 6 mg/kg on Day 1 and 12 mg/kg on Day 8 of a 3-Week cycle until unacceptable toxicity, progressive disease, withdrawal of consent, or until the subject meets any of the criteria for subject withdrawal, or withdrawal from the IMP in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy regimen of carboplatin/paclitaxel (carboplatin AUC = 6 mg/mL/min plus paclitaxel 225 mg/m^2 on Day 1 of every 3-Week cycle intravenously for a maximum of 6 treatment cycles).

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    DLT: any National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.03 Grade 4 hematologic or Grade 3/4 non-hematologic toxicities that occurred during DLT observation period and were considered by Investigator to be at least possibly related to trial treatment, and were confirmed by Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC), with exception of Grade 4 neutropenia for not >5 days; Grade 4 lymphocytopenia/ thrombocytopenia for not >5 days; fatigue/headache lasting < 7 days; nausea/vomiting/diarrhoea lasting not >3 days; asymptomatic Grade 3 increase in liver function tests that resolve to baseline within 7 days; Mucositis >= Grade 3 lasting < 7 days; Grade 3 hyperglycemia that resolves in < 7 days; any laboratory values >Grade 3 without any clinical correlate (resolve within 5 days); Grade 3 skin toxicities that resolve to Grade 2 within 7 days; Grade 3/4 hypomagnesemia that resolves within 5 days. Subjects with DLTs presented based on investigator and SMC decision.

    Measured: Day 1 to Day 21 of Cycle 1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Subjects With Treatment-emergent Adverse (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs, TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation and TEAEs Leading to Death

    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important. AEs were considered treatment emergent if they started on or after the day of first administration of the first trial treatment given (Sym004 or one of the individual Platinum-Doublet therapies) or if they worsened after receiving first dose of treatment.

    Measured: Day 1 up to 28 days after last dose of study drug (up to 53 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Part 1: Sym004 6 mg/kg + Cisplatin/Gemcitabine, Part 1: Sym004 6 mg/kg + Cisplatin/Pemetrexed and Part 1: Sym004 6 mg/kg + Carboplatin/Paclitaxel in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by EMD Serono at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2016. 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 United States, 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Oct 2016). 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?

Number of Subjects With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: Day 1 to Day 21 of Cycle 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 25 Oct 2016.
