About this study

Official title: Targeted Complex Therapy for Advanced Melanoma, Gynecologic Cancers, and Other Malignancies: Nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane)/Bevacizumab Complex (AB-Complex)

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of nab-paclitaxel and bevacizumab in treating patients with stage IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), cancer of the cervix, endometrium, ovary, fallopian tube or peritoneal cavity. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as nab-paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Bevacizumab may stop or slow tumor growth by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Giving nab paclitaxel and bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells than nab-paclitaxel alone.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD-malignant melanoma [MM]) of Abraxane (nab-paclitaxel)/bevacizumab-complex (AB-complex) among patients with metastatic malignant melanoma.

II. To determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD-gynecologic [GYN]) of AB-complex among patients with gynecologic cancers.

III. To further assess the safety profile and anti-tumor activity of the recommended phase II dose of AB-complex for patients with previously-treated endometrial cancer IV. To further assess the safety profile and anti-tumor activity of the recommended phase II dose of AB-complex for patients with previously treated ovarian cancer

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To gather preliminary data on tumor response rate and progression free survival time of AB-complex among patients with metastatic malignant melanoma.

II. To gather preliminary data on tumor response rate and progression free survival time of AB-complex among patients with gynecologic cancers.

CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES (DOSE-ESCALATION COHORTS ONLY):

  1. Pharmacokinetics of paclitaxel administered in the context of AB-complex. II. Tumor concentrations of paclitaxel 24 hour (h) following AB-complex infusion and correlation with plasma levels.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive nab-paclitaxel/bevacizumab-complex intravenously (IV) over 30-60 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patient may receive paclitaxel if supply of nab-paclitaxel is exhausted.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 12 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD

    Defined as the highest dose level among those under consideration where at most 1 of 6 patients develops a dose-limiting toxicity.

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (4)

  1. Tumor response

    Defined as complete response or partial response on 2 consecutive evaluations at least 8 weeks apart. Will be assessed as the number of patients whose tumor has met the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1 criteria.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  2. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from study entry to the documentation of disease progression.

    Measured: Time from study entry to the documentation of disease progression, assessed up to 12 months

  3. Overall survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from study entry to death due to any cause.

    Measured: Time from study entry to death due to any cause, assessed up to 12 months

  4. Incidence of adverse events (soft tissue expansion cohort)

    The maximum grade of each type of adverse event will be recorded for each patient and the percentage of patients developing any degree of that adverse effect, as well as the percentage of patients developing a severe degree (grade 3 or higher) will be determined. Adverse Events will be defined according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Bevacizumab, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Nab-paclitaxel in people with Cervical Adenocarcinoma and Cervical Adenosarcoma, run by Mayo Clinic at 4 sites 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 48 inclusion and 34 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 26 Jul 2024. 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 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 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?

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD (time frame: 28 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02020707.

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 26 Jul 2024.
