About this study

Official title: A Phase 1B Dose-Escalation Study of TRC105 in Combination With Paclitaxel/Carboplatin and Bevacizumab in Patients With Stage 4 Non-Squamous Cell Lung Cancer

This is a single center, open-label, nonrandomized, phase 1b study of TRC105 in combination with standard dose treatment in patients with stage IV non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

Advanced non-small cell lung cancer has been historically difficult to treat, and novel agents are in dire need.TRC105 has been shown to enhance the anti-angiogenic effect of bevacizumab and may result in more effective angiogenesis inhibition and improved clinical efficacy when combined with bevacizumab and paclitaxel/carboplatin. Participants will be treated with the combination drugs for 6 cycles of therapy (3 weeks per cycle) and may or may not be placed on maintenance therapy depending upon the induction response. Maintenance therapy will continue until there is disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient withdrawal. Blood collections and tumor assessments will be performed throughout the study.

What participants receive

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

  • TRC105Drug

    Each patient will be dosed with 6, 8, or 10 mg/kg of TRC105 up to a maximum dose of 850 mg for women and 1,000 mg for men based upon overall body weight.

Study groups in NCT02429843
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Standard treatment + TRC105ExperimentalIn addition to standard treatment of paclitaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab, dosing of TRC105 will begin at 8 mg/kg. However a lower dose level has also been included (6 mg/kg) and will be enrolled if 8 mg/kg is found to exceed the maximum tolerated dose. Following the appropriate pre-medication regimen, the first weekly TRC105 dose (cycle 1 day 8) will be split into two doses whereby 3 mg/kg is administered on cycle 1 day 8 and the balance (e.g., 5 mg/kg for Dose Level 1) is administered on cycle 1 day 11. Beginning with cycle 1 day 15 and thereafter, the full TRC105 dose will be administered intravenously each week during the 21-day cycle. Intra-patient dose reductions are allowed beginning in cycle 2.
Receives: Drug: TRC105

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with a change in medical management

    Adverse events will be graded using the NCI Common Terminology for Criteria for Adverse Events(CTCAE). Incidence, timing, and relatedness of adverse events will be considered as factors in the change of a patient's medical management.

    Measured: Baseline up to 28 days after the last cycle

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Measurement of tumor response

    Radiological tumor assessments from CT or MRI scans will be used to determine an objective response rate.

    Measured: Baseline to 3 years

  2. Progression-free survival

    Time to progressive disease

    Measured: Baseline to 3 years

  3. Number of patients with progression-free survival at 6 months

    The percentage of patients with progression-free survival in the study

    Measured: 6 months after the last cycle of treatment completed

  4. Overall survival

    Length of patient survival after starting study treatment

    Measured: Baseline to 3 years

  5. Measurement of TRC105 concentrations

    Serum TRC105 concentrations will be measured using validated enzyme-linked immunoassay testing that will assist in analyzing the pharmacokinetics of the drug.

    Measured: Collected approximately every 63 days (3 cycles)

  6. Measurement of TRC105 anti-product antibodies

    Anti-product antibody concentrations will be measured using validated enzyme-linked immunoassay testing that will assist in analyzing immunogenicity.

    Measured: Collected approximately every 63 days (3 cycles)

  7. Identify angiogenic protein biomarkers

    A central reference lab will conduct biomarker testing that will assist in the analysis of the pharmacodynamics effects on circulating angiogenic biomarkers.

    Measured: Collected approximately every 63 days (3 cycles)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TRC105 in people with Lung Cancer, run by University of Alabama at Birmingham 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 15 inclusion and 20 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 28 Jun 2021. 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 patients with a change in medical management (time frame: Baseline up to 28 days after the last cycle). 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 28 Jun 2021.
