About this study

Official title: Safety and Tolerability of Bexmarilimab Plus Pembrolizumab for Patients With Advanced (Inoperable or Metastatic) Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

This study enrolls patients with Non-small cell lung cancer and treats them with the investigational drug Bexmarilimab (FP-1305) plus standard of care Pembrolizumab to block Common lymphatic endothelial and vascular endothelial receptor-1 (CLEVER-1). Treating with an antiCLEVER-1 antibody, such as bexmarilimab, could lead to immune system activation, which, in turn, may lead to cancer elimination.

Read the detailed description

This study is an open label, Phase Ib, standard 3+3 dose escalation trial of bexmarilimab (FP-1305) plus pembrolizumab in 4 planned dose escalation cohorts in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) to determine the safety and tolerability of repeated doses of bexmarilimab plus pembrolizumab administered in three-week intervals (Q3W) (Figures 1 and 2) defined as treatment cycles. Bexmarilimab is a monoclonal antibody to common lymphatic endothelial and vascular endothelial receptor-1 (CLEVER-1), administered by IV infusion every 3 weeks. Pembrolizumab is a monoclonal antibody to programmed death-1 (PD-1), administered by 30-minute IV infusion every 3 weeks. When pembrolizumab and bexmarilimab are given on the same day, bexmarilimab is given before pembrolizumab. No pre-medication(s) is/are needed before infusion of either drug.

Dose levels will be escalated to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in trial subjects with NSCLC eligible for pembrolizumab as standard of care (SOC) treatment. The MTD level will be determined based on the occurrence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) by standard 3+3 escalation. For the purposes of DLT, only DLT attributable to or likely due to bexmarilimab are counted. DLTs clearly related to pembrolizumab do not count as DLTs for the purposes of dose escalation. The pre-determined dose levels in the dose escalation part are 0.1, 1.0, 3.0, 10.0, and 30 mg/kg, In Cohort 0, if the first dose at 0.1 mg/kg is tolerated, that patient will advance to Cohort 1 to finish the trial at the Cohort 1 bexmarilimab dose. Dose escalation within individual patients beyond Cohort 0 is not permitted.

Beyond the Level 0 dose level, each subject will be observed for three weeks for DLT (subject at Level 0 will advance to the next level after a 3-week observation period). In the absence of DLT, once three subjects have received the second dose at dose level (for example at Level 1), each of them with a minimum of three-week follow-up, the dose is escalated to the third dose level (in this example to Level 2). If a subject is withdrawn/discontinued for any reason or dies before the completion of Cycle 3, week 1, the withdrawn/discontinued subject must be replaced with a new subject enrolled at the same dose level until three subjects have reached the three-week follow-up and the dose escalation to the next level may occur.

The dose cannot be escalated to the next level before a three-week DLT period is reached for all the subjects at the current level. Beyond Level 0, if subjects fail to reach the three-week DLT window in a given cohort for any reason, they must be replaced, and the replacement subject will be observed accordingly before escalation can proceed. If a subject misses a dose in the DLT period that subject must be replaced so that each subject receives 2 doses of bexmarilimab in the DLT window.

Once a DLT is observed in any of the treated patients, an additional 3 subjects will be enrolled at this dose. If no further DLTs are observed, escalation proceeds as planned. If a second DLT occurs, the MTD is defined as the prior cohort. A maximum of 36 evaluable subjects will be accrued for the MTD determination.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and tolerability

    Measured by the number of adverse events according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse events (NCI-CTCAE v. 5) ≥Grade 3 occuring during the 21 days 3 weeks) following the first dose of bexmarilimab plus pembrolizumab in Cycle 2 and related to bexmarilimab are considered dose limiting toxicity (DLT) with the following exceptions:

    • Grade 3 infusion reactions that resolve within 8 hours from the onset of the reaction and are not defined as a DLT
    • For nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, only adequately pre-treated grade 3 or 4 toxicity will qualify as DLT
    • For thrombocytopenia, hemorrhage is required to qualify grade 3 toxicity as DLT; grade 4 thrombocytopenia is DLT regardless of hemorrhaged
    • For neutropenia, fever is required to qualify grade 3 toxicity as DLT. A duration > 5 days is required to qualify grade 4 toxicity as DLT

    Measured: Cycle 2 plus 3 weeks (21 days following the first dose of both study drugs)

  2. Programmed Death Cell Ligand 1 (PD-L1) level

    Measured using analysis of soluble CLEVER-1 (sClever) levels

    Measured: Cycle 1 (21 days), pre-dose levels at start of Cycle 3 (42 days)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Immunophenotyping

    Assessed by measurement of the circulating immune cell populations in serum over time

    Measured: Baseline to study end (approximately 12 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing bexmarilimab (FP-1305) and Pembrolizumab in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio 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 8 inclusion and 13 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jul 2023. 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 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Safety and tolerability (time frame: Cycle 2 plus 3 weeks (21 days following the first dose of both study drugs)). 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 20 Jul 2023.
