About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study of Glembatumumab Vedotin in Patients With gpNMB-Expressing, Advanced or Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lung

Patients with advanced or metastatic, gpNMB-expressing Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) of the lung who have failed a prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimen will receive glembatumumab vedotin.

Glembatumumab vedotin consists of an antibody (a type of human protein) attached to a drug called Monomethyl Auristatin E (MMAE) that can kill cancer cells. Glembatumumab vedotin is intended to work by specifically directing the drug to the cancer cell. It attaches to a molecule on the cancer cell called gpNMB, and then releases the MMAE inside the tumor cell, which in turn causes the cell to die.

The purpose of this study is to see whether glembatumumab vedotin is effective in treating people who have advanced or metastatic squamous cell lung cancer that contains gpNMB, to examine how the body handles the drug and the side effects associated with glembatumumab vedotin.

Read the detailed description

Lung cancer is the most frequent cancer in the world, with annual cases worldwide currently estimated at one million and increasing to 10 million by the year 2025. In the United States, despite the declining incidence in white males in recent years, lung cancer is still the second most frequent cancer in both men (next to prostate) and women (next to breast cancer).

This is an open-label, single arm study of glembatumumab vedotin, a fully-human IgG2 monoclonal antibody. The activity of glembatumumab vedotin may be greatest in patients who overexpress the target, gpNMB.

This study will include a dose-escalation phase to determine the maximum safe and tolerated dose. This will be followed by a 2-stage Phase II expansion. During Phase II Stage 1, approximately 20 eligible, treated patients will be enrolled. If ≥ 2 patients achieve a tumor response [Partial Response (PR) or Complete Response (CR)]; an additional 15 eligible, treated patients will be enrolled in Stage 2, for a maximum total of 35 eligible, treated patients.

Glembatumumab vedotin will be administered once every 3 weeks, as a 90-minute intravenous (IV) infusion.

Patients will continue treatment until disease progression or intolerance. Tumor assessments will be performed every six (±1) weeks for six months, and every nine (±2) weeks thereafter, until progression.

A tumor tissue sample (i.e., obtained during a previous procedure or biopsy) will be sent to a central laboratory and tested for gpNMB. Research blood samples will also be required.

What participants receive

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

  • Phase I: Glembatumumab VedotinDrug

    Also called CDX-011; CR011-vcMMAE

    Escalation Phase: Three to 6 patients will be enrolled in each dose cohort based on a standard Phase I dose escalation scheme. For the dose-escalation, the starting dose of glembatumumab vedotin will be 1.9 mg/kg q3w (Cohort 1). In the event of ≥ 2 DLTs, the dose will de-escalate to Cohort -1 (1.3 mg/kg).

    Dose escalation from Cohort 1 to Cohort 2 (2.2 mg/kg) may proceed if three patients in Cohort 1 complete the DLT observation period with 0 DLTs, or if six patients in Cohort 1 complete the DLT observation period with 0 or 1 DLTs.

  • Phase II: Glembatumumab VedotinDrug

    Also called CDX-011; CR011-vcMMAE

    In Stage 1, approximately 20 eligible, treated patients will be enrolled. If ≥ 2 patients achieve a tumor response (Partial Response [PR] or Complete Response [CR]), an additional 15 eligible, treated patients will be enrolled in Stage 2, for a maximum total of 35 eligible, treated patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Phase I: Glembatumumab Vedotin and Phase II: Glembatumumab Vedotin in people with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lung, run by PrECOG, LLC. at 10 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 15 inclusion and 13 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 16 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 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 16 Jul 2019). 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?

Phase I: Determine Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) (time frame: 42 (±3) days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 Jul 2019.
