About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Multicenter, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation and Dose-Expansion Study to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Immunogenicity and Antitumor Activity of MSC-1 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

This is a 2-part study to evaluate the safety and antitumor activity of MSC-1. MSC-1 is a first-in-class, humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG1) which binds to the immunosuppressive human cytokine Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF), and is intended to treat adult patients with Advanced Solid Tumors.

In part 1, multiple dose levels of MSC-1 in patients with advanced solid tumors will be studied to determine the recommended dose for further evaluation of safety and efficacy in Part 2.

Read the detailed description

MSC-1 is a first-in-class, humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG1) which binds to the immunosuppressive human cytokine Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF), and is intended to treat adult patients with advanced solid tumors. LIF is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in many physiological and pathological processes including the promotion of an immunosuppressive environment. In cancer, it is hypothesized that LIF expressing malignancies co-opt this activity, creating an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment as well as promoting the activity of cancer-initiating cell(s) (CICs). LIF is highly expressed in a subset of tumors across multiple solid tumor types.

During dose escalation, patients with advanced solid tumors will be treated with MSC-1 with the primary objective of determining the safety and tolerability of MSC-1 and defining an appropriate dose for further evaluation in dose expansion. MSC-1 will be administered intravenously (IV) until disease progression, unmanageable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or study termination.

In dose expansion, up to 4 parallel cohorts of patients with LIF-High tumors (NSCLC, Ovarian Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer), and a cohort of mixed solid tumors (referred to as the "basket cohort"), may be treated at the recommended expansion dose to further characterize the safety, tolerability, PK, PD and anti-tumor activity of MSC-1.

Receives: Biological: MSC-1

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of MSC-1 and determine the recommended dose for MSC-1 monotherapy for further evaluation in the expansion part of the study

    Assessment of frequency \& severity of adverse events

    Measured: Patients will be evaluated for approximately 6 months or until disease progression

  2. Assess the preliminary anti-tumor activity of MSC-1 monotherapy

    Determine objective response rate (ORR)

    Measured: Patients will be evaluated for approximately 6 months or until disease progression

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Confirm safest dose of MSC-1 for further study

    Assessment of adverse events

    Measured: Patients will be evaluated for approximately 6 months or until disease progression

  2. Characterize the PK of MSC-1

    Serum levels of MSC-1

    Measured: Patients will be evaluated before and after each dose of MSC-1 for approximately 6 months or until disease progression. PK will be evaluated more frequently for the first 2 cycles of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MSC-1 in people with Advanced Solid Tumors and Pancreatic Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 7 sites in 3 countries.

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 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States, Canada, Spain. 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?

Evaluate the safety and tolerability of MSC-1 and determine the recommended dose for MSC-1 monotherapy for further evaluation in the expansion part of the study (time frame: Patients will be evaluated for approximately 6 months or until disease progression). 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 5 Apr 2024.
