About this study
Official title: A Phase I Safety and Bioimaging Trial of KB004 in Patients With Glioblastoma
This is a study of drug KB004 in patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). Eligible patients with measurable tumours will receive an initial trace (5mg) dose of zirconium labelled KB004 (89ZrKB004) on day 1 followed by sequential Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging over 1 week to determine its biodistribution into GBM and normal tissues. Safety assessments and pharmacokinetic (movement of drug) sampling will also be undertaken over this time. On Day 8, patients commence weekly KB004 infusions over 2 hours with standard premedications. Three cohorts are planned in this study (3.5mg/kg, 5.25 mg/kg, 7.9 mg/kg; additional dose levels may be explored based on toxicity, efficacy and biodistribution data as determined by the safety monitoring committee). On day 36, patients receive both 89ZrKB004 and KB004, allowing assessment of receptor occupancy to guide recommended phase two dose (RPTD) determination. Response rate (RANO) and survival data will be collected and patients benefiting may continue KB004 treatment until disease progression. Primary objective: to determine the toxicity and recommended phase two dose (RPTD) of KB004 in patients with advanced Glioblastoma (GBM).
Secondary objectives: to determine the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of 89ZrKB004; to determine frequency of EphA3 (ephrin receptor A3) positive glioblastoma in archival specimens and by 89ZrKB004 scans, and correlate with known biomarkers; to describe response rates per RANO criteria (Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Criteria) and pharmacodynamics following KB004 infusion; Exploratory objectives: to perform exploratory analysis between clinical outcomes and biodistribution/Pharmacokinetics (PK)/pharmacodynamics (PD) data, including from matched biopsies.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
KB004Drug
KB004 is a recombinant, non-fucosylated, IgG1κ (human f-allotype) monoclonal antibody targeting the extracellular ligand binding domain of the EphA3 (ephrin receptor) tyrosine kinase
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| KB004 dose escalation | Experimental | Patients will be entered at each KB004 dose level sequentially until 3-6 patients are evaluable for safety. Three sequential cohorts are planned in this study (3.5mg/kg, 5.25 mg/kg, 7.9 mg/kg) Additional dose levels may be explored based on the emerging data in the study. Receives: Drug: KB004 |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With KB004 Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed using CTCAE v4.0. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).
Three patients are recruited per dose level, 3 dose levels. Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) defined as Grade 4 neutropenia > 7 day duration Grade 3 or 4 febrile neutropenia Grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia > 7 day duration Grade 4 anaemia > 7 day duration Grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic adverse events which do not resolve within 48 hours with maximal supportive care.
Grade 4 or recurrent Grade 3 infusion reactions despite maximal supportive care and dose reductions Significant intracranial haemorrhage not reasonably attributed to other cause More than 14 days of treatment delay due to attributable toxicity Other toxicities as determined by the investigators. In the absence of any dose limiting toxicity in a cohort, escalate to the next dose level. If one DLT is seen in the first three patients of a cohort, an additional three patients will be recruited to that cohort. If two or more DLT's are seen in any cohort, that cohort will be deemed the maximum tolerated dose.
Measured: 0-24 months

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This is a study of drug KB004 in patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). Eligible patients with measurable tumours will receive an initial trace (5mg) dose of zirconium labelled KB004 (89ZrKB004) on day 1 followed by sequential Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging over 1 week to determine its biodistribution into GBM and normal tissues. Safety assessments and pharmacokinetic (movement of drug) sampling will also be undertaken over this time. On Day 8, patients commence weekly KB004 infusions over 2 hours with standard premedications. Three cohorts are planned in this study (3.5mg/kg, 5.25 mg/kg, 7.9 mg/kg; additional dose levels may be explored based on toxicity, efficacy and biodistribution data as determined by the safety monitoring committee). On day 36, patients receive both 89ZrKB004 and KB004, allowing assessment of receptor occupancy to guide recommended phase two dose (RPTD) determination. Response rate (RANO) and survival data will be collected and patients benefiting may continue KB004 treatment until disease progression. Primary objective: to determine the toxicity and recommended phase two dose (RPTD) of KB004 in patients with advanced Glioblastoma (GBM).
Secondary objectives: to determine the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of 89ZrKB004; to determine frequency of EphA3 (ephrin receptor A3) positive glioblastoma in archival specimens and by 89ZrKB004 scans, and correlate with known biomarkers; to describe response rates per RANO criteria (Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Criteria) and pharmacodynamics following KB004 infusion; Exploratory objectives: to perform exploratory analysis between clinical outcomes and biodistribution/Pharmacokinetics (PK)/pharmacodynamics (PD) data, including from matched biopsies.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing KB004 in people with Glioblastoma, run by Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute at 2 sites in Australia.
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 13 inclusion and 9 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 4 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in Australia. 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?
Number of Participants With KB004 Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed using CTCAE v4.0. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). (time frame: 0-24 months). 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 4 Nov 2021.
