About this study

Official title: Open-Label Study Evaluating Cetuximab-IRDye800 as an Optical Imaging Agent to Detect Neoplasms During Neurosurgical Procedures

This study is a phase 1-2 trial that evaluates the best dose of cetuximab-IRDye 800CW and how well it works in detecting tumors in patients with malignant glioma who are undergoing surgery. Cetuximab-IRDye 800CW is an optical imaging agent that may help detect tumor cells when a special camera is used.

Read the detailed description

This is a dose-escalation study of cetuximab-IRDye 800CW. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts.

COHORT I: Patients receive cetuximab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes and a lower dose of cetuximab IRDye800 IV over 30 minutes to 1 hour on day 0.

COHORT II: Patients receive cetuximab IV over 30 minutes and a higher dose of cetuximab IRDye800 IV over 30 minutes to 1 hour on day 0.

All patients undergo standard of care surgical resection of tumor on days 2-5.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at days 10 and 30.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

Determine the efficacy of cetuximab-IRDye 800CW (cetuximab IRDye800) in intraoperatively identifying malignant glioma compared to surrounding normal central nervous system tissue, as measured by tumor-to-background ratio.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

Determine the tolerability of the cetuximab IRDye800 as an imaging agent in subjects undergoing resection of malignant glioma.

Being tested
Cetuximab, Cetuximab-IRDye 800CW, Tumor resection
Medical subject headings
Brain Neoplasms, Glioma

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor to Background Ratio (TBR)

    Tumor to background ratios (TBR) will be generated from still images by comparing the relative fluorescence of normal and tumor tissue. The average fluorescence will be compared to the average fluorescence of the surrounding tissue using the paired student's T test for each specimen.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of Adverse Events

    The incidence of serious and non-serious adverse events is reported as the number of adverse events (Grade 2 or higher), as graded by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. Data are reported by number of events by treatment level.

    Measured: Up to 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Cetuximab, Cetuximab-IRDye 800CW and Tumor resection in people with Brain Neoplasm and Malignant Glioma, run by Eben Rosenthal 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 7 inclusion and 6 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 31 Mar 2020. 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 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 14 May 2018). 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?

Tumor to Background Ratio (TBR) (time frame: 1 day). 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 31 Mar 2020.
