About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Brentuximab Vedotin and Bevacizumab in Men With Refractory CD-30 Positive Germ Cell Tumors

This is a multi-center phase II study of brentuximab vedotin in combination with bevacizumab for the treatment of refractory CD-30+ germ cell tumors (GCT) after disease progression on imaging and/or tumor marker progression documented by serially rising alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) or beta human chorionic gonadotropin (bHCG) measured on at least 2 consecutive visits and determined by treating physician to be clinically significant. Patients unable to receive 2nd line of platinum-based chemotherapy due to toxicity or refusal would also be eligible.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Brentuximab Vedotin & BevacizumabExperimental* Bevacizumab will be administered at a dose of 15 mg/kg IV every 21 days; over 90 minutes during 1st infusion, over 60 minutes as 2nd infusion and over 30 minutes for subsequent infusions if prior infusions well tolerated. * Brentuximab vedotin will be administered first at 1.8 mg/kg (maximum dose of 180 mg) IV over 30 minutes every 21 days.
Receives: Drug: Brentuximab Vedotin; Drug: Bevacizumab

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease Response Rate as Defined by the RECIST 1.1 Criteria, Integrated With Tumor Marker Response.

    Changes in the largest diameter (unidimensional measurement) of the tumor lesions and the shortest diameter in the case of malignant lymph nodes are used in the RECIST criteria.

    In addition to CT scan to assess for disease evaluation, whole body bone scans will be done for patients with known or suspected bone metastases to assess for bone lesions.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Participants Experiencing Progression Free Survival

    Incidence of Progression-free survival - Number of patients who were alive and did not have disease progression

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Number of Participants Who Were Alive at 2 Years - Overall Survival

    Number of participants who were alive at 2 years (Overall survival)

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AE) and Severe Adverse Events (SAE)

    Safety/ toxicity of brentuximab vedotin, measured by incidence of AEs/SAEs

    Measured: 2 Years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Brentuximab Vedotin and Bevacizumab in people with Germ Cell Tumor, run by Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota 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 18 inclusion and 19 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 10 Dec 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 phase mean?

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 10 Dec 2020). 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?

Disease Response Rate as Defined by the RECIST 1.1 Criteria, Integrated With Tumor Marker Response. (time frame: 1 year). 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 10 Dec 2020.
