About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b, Open-Label, Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of Demcizumab Plus Pembrolizumab in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy and safety of an experimental drug, demcizumab, when given in combination with pembrolizumab. Demcizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody and was developed to target cancer stem cells. Demcizumab may block the growth of cancer stem cells, the remaining cancer cells, and it may also impair the productive growth of new blood vessels, which tumors need to grow and spread.

This study is sponsored by OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, which is referred to as OncoMed or the Sponsor in this consent form.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, Phase 1b dose escalation and expansion study of demcizumab plus pembrolizumab designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of demcizumab in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. This study consists of a screening period, a treatment period and a post-treatment follow up period in which patients will be followed for survival for approximately 12 months. Patients will be enrolled in two stages: a dose-escalation stage and an expansion phase.

Approximately 42 patients will be enrolled in this study at approximately 10 study centers in the United States (U.S) and Europe.

What participants receive

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

  • DemcizumabDrug

    Also called OMP-21M18

    Drug: Demcizumab at starting dose of 2.5mg/kg administered intravenously (IV).

  • PembrolizumabDrug

    Drug: Pembrolizumab administered 2mg/kg IV every 3 weeks

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of demcizumab given in combination with pembrolizumab

    The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose (MAD) will be determined in patients treated with demcizumab in combination with pembrolizumab

    Measured: Subjects will be treated and observed for DLT through the end of the first cycle (Days 1-22)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of demcizumab and pembrolizumab

    peak plasma concentration

    Measured: Plasma sample for Pharmacokinetics (PK) analysis to be obtained on Days 1, 22, 43 then at every other cycle (each cycle is 21 days) until 12 weeks post treatment termination, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Demcizumab and Pembrolizumab in people with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors, run by OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 6 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 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States, United Kingdom. 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?

Dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of demcizumab given in combination with pembrolizumab (time frame: Subjects will be treated and observed for DLT through the end of the first cycle (Days 1-22)). 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 11 Aug 2020.
