Who may be able to join

  • Life expectancy >12 weeks.
  • BMI is between 18 to 32 kg/m2
  • Subjects whose advanced cancer has failed treatment or whose cancer has progressed following available standard therapy or for whom such therapy is not acceptable to the subject. Subjects whose tumor tissue local laboratory results are HER2 ISH positive or IHC3+ must have been previously treated with a HER2 targeting therapy (e.g. trastuzumab, in the country or region where such therapies are available and part of standard of care), or have failed SOC therapy.

  • Histopathologic evidence of breast cancer based upon pathologist's report.
  • Tumor tissue local laboratory HER2 testing results (clinical pathology report) based on FDA or other regulatory agency approved, validated or commercially available IHC or ISH HER2 assay. Pre-screening for HER2 is allowed only for subjects with breast and gastric cancer, where applicable. Subjects with other types of cancer must have previously tested for HER2 status by HER2 IHC or ISH assay. 1) Phase 1a: ISH positive or IHC 2+ or 3+. 2) Phase 1b: Cohort 1: advanced breast cancer, ISH positive or IHC 3+; Cohort 2: advanced breast cancer, ISH negative with IHC 2+; and Cohort 3: advanced gastric cancer, ISH positive or IHC 3+.

  • Local pathology laboratory determination of HER2 status will be accepted, provided that the local laboratory is an accredited site for HER2 testing. In Phase 1b, if the local laboratory was not accredited at the time of testing, an adequate tumor tissue sample is required for central pathology laboratory HER2 testing. The tissue sample may be provided as 10 pre-cut unstained slides or a tumor block.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Multicenter, Open-label, Multiple Dose-escalation Study of ARX788, Intravenously Administered as a Single Agent in Subjects With Advanced Cancers With HER2 Expression

This is a 2-part, Phase 1 FIH study with Phase 1a designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) in subjects with metastatic cancers with a human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) test result that is in situ hybridization (ISH) positive (+) or immunohistochemistry (IHC) 3+ or 2+, and Phase 1b designed to assess anticancer activity and safety in three expansion cohorts: two different advanced breast cancer expansion cohorts (namely, for tumors that test as HER2 ISH positive or IHC3+ and for tumors that test as HER2 ISH negative with IHC 2+), and one advanced gastric cancer expansion cohort (for tumors that test as HER2 ISH positive or IHC3+).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ARX788 in people with Breast Neoplasms and Stomach Neoplasms, run by Zhejiang Medicine Co., Ltd. at 7 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 31 inclusion and 0 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 5 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Australia, New Zealand. 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: Replace with a new trial). 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?

Maximum tolerated dose of ARX788 (time frame: 12 months). 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 5 Jun 2020.
