Alternatively, pathological archived material may be used, if the biopsy was collected within a period of two months prior to initiation of treatment and with no anti-cancer treatment performed since the collection date. The second biopsy will be performed after 2 cycles (8 weeks) of treatment. If no archival material is available, and only one lesion is amenable for biopsy (and is the only target lesion), the Medical Monitor should be consulted for subject eligibility. Tumor biopsies and tumor archival material must be suitable for biomarker assessment as described in the Laboratory Manual.
  • Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test and be using adequate contraception (defined below) prior to study entry and must agree to continue to use adequate contraception from study entry through at least 6 months after discontinuation of study drug. Note: Options for adequate contraception with a failure rate of <1% per year include: tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal implants, established proper use of combined oral or injected hormonal contraceptives, and certain intrauterine devices. Alternatively, two methods (e.g., two barrier methods such as a condom and cervical cap) may be combined to achieve a failure rate of <1% per year. Barrier methods must always be supplemented with the use of a spermicide. Abstinence is acceptable only if it is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. Should a female patient or a female partner of a male patient become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in the study or within 6 months following discontinuation of the study drug, the patient should inform the investigator immediately.

About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Open-label Two-stage Safety and Tolerability Study With Subcutaneous Administration of Andes-1537 for Injection in Patients With Specific Types of Advanced Solid Tumors That Are Refractory To or No Available Standard Therapy

The study is a Phase 1 Open-label Two-stage, Safety and Tolerability Study with Cancer Type-specific Cohorts, Evaluating Subcutaneous Administration of Andes-1537 for Injection in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors that are Refractory to Standard Therapy or For Which No Standard Therapy Is Available. Patients with unresectable solid tumors that are refractory or have failed standard therapy and are deemed non-eligible or intolerant to further therapy or for which no standard therapy is available will be included in 5 cancer type-specific parallel cohorts. The following tumor types will be evaluated for potential inclusion in each cancer type-specific cohort: gallbladder \& biliary tract carcinoma; cervical carcinoma; gastric carcinoma; pancreatic carcinoma, and colorectal carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

After screening, 9 patients in each cancer type-specific cohort (gallbladder \& biliary tract carcinoma; cervical carcinoma; gastric carcinoma; pancreatic carcinoma, and colorectal carcinoma) will enter stage 1. These patients will receive a dose of 400 mg of Andes-1537 five times per week for continuous cycles of 4 weeks that will be repeated until the patients presents drug toxicity requiring treatment discontinuation or disease progression with no noted clinical benefit as assessed by the investigator. The safety and tolerability evaluation will be continuous during the study. The efficacy evaluation will be done by analysis of the clinical objective response rate (ORR) by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria after patients complete the first two cycles (8 weeks). Thereafter, clinical ORR will be assessed every 8 weeks. Additionally, tumor-cell activity assessment will be performed in biopsy samples after the patients complete the first 2 cycles (8 weeks). Tumor markers assessment according to the type of tumor will be evaluated every 2 cycles and at the end of study (EOS) visit. Analysis of the tumor metabolic activity through the PET-CT scan and quality of life of patients through questionnaire will be evaluated every 2 cycles. As predefined and according with the decision of the Study Safety and Steering Committee (SSC), in those cohorts where minimal clinical response criteria were met or according to the decision of the SSC based on the risk / benefit analysis, considering toxicity criteria and observed biological responses, 15 additional patients will be recruited (total of 24 patients per cohort) for stage 2 of the study. Patients included in stage 2 will receive the same treatment regimen described for stage 1 and will be followed until the patients present disease progression or drug toxicity requiring treatment discontinuation. Patients included in stage 2 will receive the same follow-up as patients in stage 1.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Andes-1537 for Injection in people with Tumor, Solid and Gall Bladder Cancer, run by Andes Biotechnologies at 4 sites in Chile.

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 21 inclusion and 12 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 24 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Chile. 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?

Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) through stages 1 and 2 of the study (time frame: Screening and during cycle treatment (each cycle 4 weeks) until study completion (approximately 24 weeks or earlier if patient discontinues from study)). 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 24 Feb 2022.
