About this study
Official title: A Phase l/ll Study of Varlilumab in Combination With Sunitinib in Patients With Metastatic Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
This is a study to determine the clinical benefit (how well the drug works), safety, and tolerability of combining varlilumab and sunitinib. The study will enroll patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
Read the detailed description
Varlilumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to a molecule called CD27 found on certain immune cells and may act to promote anti-tumor effects.
Sunitinib is a small molecule that inhibits multiple receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) some of which play a role in tumor growth and progression of cancer.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of the anti-CD27 antibody varlilumab in combination with sunitinib.
Eligible patients that enroll in the dose escalation portion of the study will be assigned to one of three dose levels of varlilumab in combination with 50 mg of sunitinib. The first phase of the study will test the safety profile of the combination and determine which dose of varlilumab will be studied in Phase ll* of the overall study.
*Note: This Study was terminated prior to initiation of Phase II.
All patients enrolled in the study will be closely monitored to determine if there is a response to the treatment as well as for any side effects that may occur.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Combination of varlilumab and sunitinibDrug
During the treatment phase of the study, eligible patients will receive varlilumab for up to 8 cycles. Treatment cycles are 6 weeks each with varlilumab administered once every 3 weeks and sunitinib administered daily for 4 weeks followed by a 2 week rest. There is no limit on the number of cycles of sunitinib. Patients may be discontinued from receiving study treatment (sunitinib or varlilumab) based on the results of disease assessments or if experiencing side effects that make study therapy intolerable.
Phase l Dose: The planned dose of varlilumab will be dependent on the cohort assigned at enrollment. Varlilumab doses are 0.3 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg.
The Study was terminated prior to initiation of Phase II.
All patients will receive sunitinib at a dose of 50 mg.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Varlilumab and Sunitinib | Experimental | Not described Receives: Drug: Combination of varlilumab and sunitinib |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Phase 1: Safety and tolerability of varlilumab and varlilumab in combination with sunitinib as measured by incidence of drug related adverse events (AEs), serious drug related AEs, dose-limiting toxicities and laboratory test abnormalities.
Measured: Safety follow-up is 100 days from last study drug dose.

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 12 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 26 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 9 sites 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: Portfolio re-prioritization). 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?
Phase 1: Safety and tolerability of varlilumab and varlilumab in combination with sunitinib as measured by incidence of drug related adverse events (AEs), serious drug related AEs, dose-limiting toxicities and laboratory test abnormalities. (time frame: Safety follow-up is 100 days from last study drug dose.). 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 26 Jul 2018.
