About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Study of Rovalpituzumab Tesirine in Subjects With Delta-Like Protein 3-Expressing Advanced Solid Tumors

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of rovalpituzumab tesirine in subjects with specific delta-like protein 3-expressing advanced solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, open-label study involving multiple specific advanced solid tumor types, consisting of a dose escalation part A followed by an expansion part B. Cancer subtypes will be studied in separate disease-specific cohorts in both Parts. Eight separate cohorts will enroll malignant melanoma, medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), glioblastoma, large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC), neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), high-grade gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (GEP NEC), other NEC, and solid tumors other than the above.

Being tested
Rovalpituzumab tesirine, Dexamethasone
Medical subject headings
Melanoma, Carcinoma, Medullary, Glioblastoma

Receives: Drug: Rovalpituzumab tesirine; Drug: Dexamethasone

What is being measured

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

  1. Summary of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), by Dose and Neuroendocrine (NEC) or Non-NEC Disease Groups

    The number of participants with TEAEs, serious TEAEs, study drug-related TEAEs, and study drug discontinuations or dose reductions due to TEAEs, summarized by dose received and neuroendocrine (NEC) or non-NEC disease groups. An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: is fatal or life-threatening; results in death or hospitalization; is disabling/incapacitating or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is medically significant. AE severity was graded using the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE), version 4.03 terminology: grade 1=mild; grade 2=moderate; grade 3=severe; grade 4 life-threatening; grade 5=death. TEAEs were defined as AEs that were newly occurring or worsened following study treatment.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug through 30 days after last dose. The overall mean number of 6-week treatment cycles was 1 (range 1.0, 5.0).

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as percentage of participants whose best overall response was either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR: A ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

    Measured: Baseline, every 6 weeks until 6 months, then every 12 weeks until disease progression, assessed up to 35.2 months.

  2. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)

    CBR is defined as the percentage of participants with best overall response (confirmed or unconfirmed) of CR, PR or stable disease (SD) per RECIST v1.1. CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR: A ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressed disease (PD), taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. SD criteria must have met at least once after study entry at a minimum interval of 42 days (-7 days to allow for scheduled visit window per the protocol).

    Measured: Baseline, every 6 weeks until 6 months, then every 12 weeks until disease progression, assessed up to 35.2 months.

  3. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR is defined as the time from the first assessment on therapy of a CR or PR response (per RECIST v1.1) to the date of progressive disease or death. CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR: A ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Participants who did not have progression were censored at the last non-missing response assessment on-therapy or baseline. Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates.

    Measured: Baseline, every 6 weeks until 6 months, then every 12 weeks until disease progression, assessed up to 35.2 months.

  4. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from the first dose date to the date of disease progression or death. Participants who did not have progression or death are censored at the last non-missing response assessment on-therapy or baseline. Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates.

    Measured: Baseline, every 6 weeks until 6 months, then every 12 weeks until disease progression, assessed up to 35.2 months.

  5. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival is defined as the time from the first dose date to death for any reason. Subjects who were alive at the clinical data cut-off are censored at the last known alive date. Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates.

    Measured: Baseline, every 6 weeks until 6 months, then every 12 weeks until disease progression, assessed up to 35.2 months.

  6. Serum Concentrations of Rovalpituzumab Tesirine Over Time

    Measured: Cycle 1: 0, 0.5, 6, 48, 168, 336, 672 hours postdose

  7. Number of Participants With Anti-therapeutic Antibodies (ATA)

    Number of participants treated across each dose level reported to potentially have ATAs against rovalpituzumab tesirine at any time during the study.

    Measured: Day 1 and 42 days after last dose. The overall mean number of 6-week treatment cycles was 1 (range 1.0, 5.0).

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Rovalpituzumab tesirine and Dexamethasone in people with Malignant Melanoma and Medullary Thyroid Cancer, run by AbbVie at 30 sites 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 13 inclusion and 10 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 19 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 30 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 19 Oct 2020). 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?

Summary of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), by Dose and Neuroendocrine (NEC) or Non-NEC Disease Groups (time frame: From first dose of study drug through 30 days after last dose. The overall mean number of 6-week treatment cycles was 1 (range 1.0, 5.0).). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02709889, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Oct 2020.
