About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Clinical Trial of Nivolumab in Progressive/Relapsed Pediatric Solid Tumors

patients with progressive/relapsed solid tumors who failed first line therapy , will be treated biweekly with the anti PD1- Nivolumab. at least one month after treatment initiation low dose cyclophosphamide will be started .

patients on trial will submit tissue and blood tests for whole exome an immune genomic signature. patients will also undergo repeated immunophenotype as part of follow up.

Read the detailed description

Programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) is an inhibitory receptor that prevents immune activation. PD-1 blockade can mediate reactivation of immune mediated tumor killing leading to tumor regression . Another mechanism of tumor associated immune inactivation is elevation of rates of T regulatory cells. This process may be prevented by treatment with low dose cyclophosphamide.

Objective:

This study will evaluate safety and tolerability of the anti PD1 antibody Nivolumab combined with other immunomodulating treatments, in pediatric patients with relapsed/progressive solid tumors

Method:

Patients will be treated with IV Nivolumab 3mg/kg over 60 minutes on day 1 and 15 of each cycle of 28 days.

  1. Dose finding phase:
  2. Six patients will be accrued for the first cohort and treated for 1 month
  3. If an adverse event >grade 2 will occur in>2 patients, study medication dose will be reduced by 25% and another cohort of 6 patients will be accrued on the reduced dose.
  4. Dose finding cohorts will be accrued until determination of a dose with allowed DLT
  5. Expansion phase
  6. Following dose determination patients will be accrued, to the final number of 30 patients
  7. Cyclophosphamide at the dose of 50 mg/dayx7days every 14 days (one week on one week off ) will be started . immunophenotype will be done every 28 days and dose of cyclophosphamide will be elevated by 25mg /day every month until highest ratio of CD8/CD25FOXP3 cells will be reached for every child
  8. All patients will be treated for 1 year or until imaging proven disease progression.
  9. Required follow up
  10. All patients will undergo tumor bed imaging (CT/MRI-based on tumor location) with metastatic evaluation (according to standar follow up) every 4 months
  11. Tumor response will be measured based on RECIST criteria
  12. Toxicity assessment will be done according to the CTCAE v. 4.03
  13. Collateral studies:
  14. Immunohistochemical analysis for PD1 and PDL1 will be done on pretreatment paraffin embedded tissue to estimate it's ability to predict response.
  15. Immune profile of peripheral blood lymphocytes including CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ FOX P3+ cells and it's correlation to objective response to therapy.
  16. Exome sequencing of the tumor and peripheral blood will be done for every patient.

Exome will be evaluated for driver mutations and immunologic genomic signature.

What is being measured

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

  1. Event free survival

    Rate of patients with stable disease/tumor response at 6 months

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Overall survival

    Rate of patients alive at 6 months and 12 months

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. evaluation of predictors for response

    correlation between levels of PD1 receptor expression in the tumor and genomic signature with response

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Nivolumab,low dose cyclophosphamide in people with Antibodies, Neoplasm, run by Hadassah Medical Organization.

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 23 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Iris Fried, MD (508573151, ishonet@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Event free survival (time frame: 6 months). 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 15 Sep 2016.
