About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-label, Dose Escalation, Phase I Study of LJM716 Administered Intravenously in Combination With Trastuzumab in Patients With HER2 Overexpressing Metastatic Breast Cancer or Gastric Cancer

This is a multicenter, open-label, dose escalation, phase I study to estimate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or a lower Recommended Dose for Expansion (RDE) of LJM716 in combination with trastuzumab in patients with Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2) overexpressing Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) or gastric cancer (MGC). The study consists of a dose escalation part and a dose expansion part. LJM716 will be administered intravenously once weekly unless a less frequent dosing regimen such as every 2 weeks or once every 4 weeks is introduced. Patients will continue on their trastuzumab dosing, administered intravenously once weekly at 2mg/kg. During dose escalation, a minimum of 15 patients are anticipated to be treated in successive cohorts. The dose escalation will continue until the MTD/RDE is declared. The RDE dose selected will either be the MTD or a dose below the MTD based on safety and Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) considerations. Following the MTD/RDE declaration, approximately 20 MBC and 20 MGC patients will be enrolled in separate arms in the dose expansion part and treated at the MTD/RDE to further assess the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of the combination.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing LJM716 and Trastuzumab in people with Advanced HER2-positive Breast Cancer or Gastric Cancer, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 11 sites in 9 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 6 inclusion and 7 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 19 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in United States, Belgium, France, Italy, Netherlands and 4 more countries. 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 rate of Dose Limiting Toxicities (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 19 Dec 2020.
