About this study

Official title: A Phase 0 Open Label, Single-center Clinical Trial of ABY-029, an Anti-EGFR Fluorescence Imaging Agent Via Single Intravenous Injection to Subjects With Recurrent Glioma

The primary study objective is to determine if microdoses of ABY-029 lead to detectable signals in sampled tissues with an EGFR pathology score ≥ 1 based on histological staining.

The secondary study objective is to assess diagnostic accuracy of ABY-029 detection by iFI and intraoperative probe relative to histopathology diagnosis, and other indicators (e.g. proliferation, infiltration, etc.) as the gold standard, and to measure the molecular uptake and concentration of ABY-029 in resected specimens.

Read the detailed description

The investigators plan a sample size of 6-12 patients in this open label, single center, clinical trial of ABY-029. Administration will occur as a single intravenous injection to subjects with recurrent glioma, approximately 1-3 hours prior to surgery.

The protocol is not a safety study since no physiological effects are expected at microdose levels of ABY-029. Rather, doses have been selected to determine if a fluorescence signal can be detected by wide-field imaging technology with a signal-to-noise ratio of 10, which is considered necessary for subsequent assessment of diagnostic performance of ABY-029 as a tumor biomarker sufficient to guide surgical resection in the future. No diagnostic or therapeutic intent is proposed, and administration of the study drug is not intended to alter the extent of planned brain tumor resection during the surgical procedure.

    Also called ABY-029 trifluoroacetate salt, IRDye® 800CW Maleimide labeled Affibody peptide

    Using a sample size of 6-12 patients, ABY-029 will be administered via single intravenous injection to subjects with recurrent glioma, approximately 1-3 hours prior to surgery. Microdose levels of ABY-029 have been selected to determine if a fluorescence signal can be detected by wide-field imaging technology with a signal-to-noise ratio of 10, which is considered necessary for subsequent assessment of diagnostic performance of ABY-029 as a tumor biomarker sufficient to guide surgical resection in the future. Administration of the study drug is not intended to alter the extent of planned brain tumor resection during the surgical procedure.

ABY-029 1X dose groupExperimentalABY-029 will be administered at the 1X dose level prior to surgery. Probe will be used in vivo to determine if signal is detectable, and ex vivo tissue pathology will measure extent of binding with EGFR positive tumor tissue.
Receives: Drug: ABY-029
ABY-029 3X dose groupExperimentalABY-029 will be administered at the 3X dose level prior to surgery. Probe will be used in vivo to determine if signal is detectable, and ex vivo tissue pathology will measure extent of binding with EGFR positive tumor tissue.
Receives: Drug: ABY-029
ABY-029 6X dose groupExperimentalABY-029 will be administered at the 6X dose level prior to surgery. Probe will be used in vivo to determine if signal is detectable, and ex vivo tissue pathology will measure extent of binding with EGFR positive tumor tissue.
Receives: Drug: ABY-029

What is being measured

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

  1. Fluorescence Signal Detection

    The primary study endpoint is to determine if the fluorescence signal from ABY-029, as measured by Biological Variance Ratio (BVR), can be detected in brain tissue during surgery. This will help researchers determine if ABY-029 functions well for imaging brain tumor tissue during surgery.

    Measured: during procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Mean Tumor-to-background Ratio

    A secondary study endpoint is to calculate the ratio of the average (mean) fluorescence intensity of ABY-029 measured in the tumor, to the average (mean) fluorescence intensity of ABY-029 measured in the surrounding tissues in the brain during surgery. This will help researchers determine how well ABY-029 works for imaging tumor tissue.

    Measured: during procedure

  2. Ex Vivo Fluorescence Intensity

    Another secondary study endpoint is to quantify the relationship between the dose of ABY-029 administered and the fluorescence intensity produced by ABY-029 in ex vivo tissue samples after they have been transferred to the pathology department. This endpoint will be measured in relative fluorescence units, and will help researchers conduct analyses on how well ABY-029 works for imaging in tissue following surgery.

    Measured: post surgical

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing ABY-029 in people with Glioma, run by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 13 Dec 2024. 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 phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 13 Dec 2024). 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?

Fluorescence Signal Detection (time frame: during procedure). 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 13 Dec 2024.
