About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study of a Chimeric Antibody Against Interleukin-6 (CNTO 328) in Subjects With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to better understand the safety, tolerability and distribution of CNTO 328 in the bloodstream.

Read the detailed description

This research study uses a type of drug called anti-IL-6 monoclonal antibody, also known as CNTO 328. CNTO 328 is a new experimental drug. This study is trying to better understand the safety, the tolerability (side effects), and the distribution of the drug in the blood stream. The effects of CNTO 328 in patients with renal cell carcinoma are currently unknown. However, recent data has shown that treatment with another anti-IL-6 monoclonal antibody reduces the symptoms of renal cell carcinoma.

The study is divided in 3 parts. Part 1 is the phase I portion of the study and evaluated the safety of CNTO 328 in subjects with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Part 2 and 3 will evaluate efficacy and safety of the drug in this patient population.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CNTO 328Drug

    Patients will receive CNTO 328 at dose levels ranging from 1, 3, 6, and 12 mg/kg in Part 1 of the study to determine the maximum tolerated dose for Part 2 of the study. Patients will receive 2 well tolerated dose levels of CNTO 328 from Part 1 of the study every 3 weeks in Part 2 of the study. Patients will receive 6 mg/kg of CNTO 328 every 2 weeks in Part 3 of the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients With Dose-limiting Toxicity as a Measure of Safety (Parts 1 and 3)

    Measured: Up to 6 weeks after the last dose

  2. Number of Patients With Tumor Response (Parts 2 and 3)

    Tumor response will be evaluated as sum of complete response (CR) and partial response (PR). CR is disappearance of all measurable and evaluable disease. No new lesions. No evidence of non evaluable disease. PR is 50% or more decrease from baseline in the sum of products of perpendicular diameters of all measurable lesions. No progression of evaluable disease. No new lesions.

    Measured: Up to Week 11

  3. Serum Concentration of CNTO 328 (Parts 1, 2, and 3)

    Measured: Pre dose, up to 6 weeks after the last dose

  4. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (Parts 1, 2, and 3)

    Measured: Up to 6 weeks after the last dose

  5. Change From Baseline in C-reactive Protein (Part 1)

    Measured: Within 2 weeks before first dose, pre dose, post dose (6 weeks after the last dose)

  6. Change From Baseline in Interleukin-6 levels (Part 1)

    Measured: Within 2 weeks before first dose, pre dose, post dose (6 weeks after the last dose)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Serum Antibodies to CNTO 328 (Parts 1, 2, and 3)

    Serum levels of antibodies to CNTO 328 will be used to evaluate potential immunogenicity.

    Measured: Up to 6 weeks after the last dose

  2. Number of Patients With Clinical Benefit (Parts 1, 2, and 3)

    Clinical benefit will include assessment of pain (measured using Brief Pain Inventory which includes 4 items assessing pain intensity (pain intensity subscales) and 7 items assessing how much pain has interfered with daily activities (pain interference subscales). The pain intensity score is assessed with 4 questions rated on 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS) ranging from "0 = no pain" to "10 = higher severity of pain". The pain interference score is assessed with 7 questions rated on 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS) ranging from "0 = does not interfere" to "10 = completely interferes". Higher scores indicate worsening), functional impairment (assessed using Karnofsky performance status which quantifies patient's well-being and activities of daily life), weight change (assessed by change in body weight).

    Measured: Up to 6 weeks after the last dose

  3. Time to disease progression (Parts 2 and 3)

    Disease progression is defines as greater than or equal to 25% increase in the sum of products of measurable lesions over the smallest sum observed (over baseline if no decrease) using the same techniques as baseline, or clear worsening of any evaluable disease, or reappearance of any lesion which had disappeared, or appearance of any new lesion, or failure to return for evaluation due to death or deteriorating condition (unless clearly unrelated to this cancer).

    Measured: Up to 6 weeks after the last dose

  4. Duration of Tumor Response (Parts 2 and 3)

    Duration of tumor response is defined as sum of complete response which is complete disappearance of all measurable and evaluable disease. No new lesions. No evidence of nonevaluable disease and partial response which is 50% or more decrease from baseline in the sum of products of perpendicular diameters of all measurable lesions. No progression of evaluable disease. No new lesions.

    Measured: Screening (3 weeks prior to first dose), Week 7, Week 11, and 6 weeks after the last dose

  5. Number of Patients With an Overall Tumor Response (Parts 2 and 3)

    Overall tumor response is defined as sum of overall CR which is 2 or more objective responses of CR (complete disappearance of all measurable and evaluable disease.) documented for a minimum of 4 weeks apart, overall PR which is 2 or more objective responses of PR (50% or more decrease from baseline in the sum of products of perpendicular diameters of all measurable lesions.) or better documented for a minimum of 4 weeks apart, and overall stable disease which is at least 1 objective response of SD (radiologic assessments have been evaluated and does not qualify for CR, PR, or progressive disease) at least 3 weeks after baseline.

    Measured: Screening (3 weeks prior to first dose), Week 7, Week 11, and 6 weeks after the last dose

  6. Change From Baseline in Quality of Life Measured Using Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) - Fatigue questionnaire (Parts 1, 2, and 3)

    FACIT - Fatigue scale is a questionnaire to assess fatigue. It is a 13-item questionnaire that assesses self-reported tiredness, weakness, and difficulty conducting usual activities due to fatigue. Responded to each area are scored from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Higher scores indicate worsening.

    Measured: Within 2 weeks before dose, prior to first dose, Days 29, 43, 57, and 71, and 6 weeks after the last dose

  7. Change From Baseline in C-reactive Protein (Parts 2 and 3)

    Measured: Within 2 weeks before first dose, pre dose, post dose (6 weeks after the last dose)

  8. Change From Baseline in Interleukin-6 levels (Parts 2 and 3)

    Measured: Within 2 weeks before first dose, pre dose, post dose (6 weeks after the last dose)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing CNTO 328 in people with Carcinoma, Renal Cell, run by Centocor, Inc. at 14 sites in 4 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 3 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in France, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Czechia. 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 combined 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.

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?

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 Patients With Dose-limiting Toxicity as a Measure of Safety (Parts 1 and 3) (time frame: Up to 6 weeks after the last dose). The study lists 6 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 3 Jul 2014.
