About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Phase 1B Safety Evaluation of Patritumab (U31287) in Combination With Cetuximab Plus Platinum Containing Therapy In Subjects With Recurrent or Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck

The purpose of this study is to test a study drug called patritumab. Patritumab may work when combined with other medications that are approved in the UK for treating Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN), called cetuximab, cisplatin or carboplatin. It is hoped that patritumab may have some benefit in treating patients with cancer. This study will help identify how much patritumab can be given in combination with cetuximab, and cisplatin or carboplatin. This study will show how safe and how well tolerated patritumab is when these medications are given together.

Read the detailed description

The trial will be performed in two "phases" (Periods):

Period 1: Initial phase in which the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) is determined

Period 2: Extension phase in which participants who are deriving benefit (stable disease or better) will have the opportunity to continue treatment at the discretion of the Investigator

Being tested
Patritumab, Cetuximab, Cisplatin, Carboplatin

What participants receive

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

  • PatritumabDrug

    Also called U3-1287, Monoclonal antibody

    Patritumab initial loading dose is 18 mg/kg IV over 60 minutes, followed in Cycle 2 and beyond with a maintenance dose of 9 mg/kg IV over 60 minutes (+/- 10 minutes) every 3 weeks. Infusion time can be extended to a maximum of 120 minutes for participants unable to tolerate the 60-minute infusion.

  • CetuximabDrug

    Also called Chemotherapy

    Cetuximab initial dose at 400 mg/m2 IV as a 2-hour infusion, followed by 250 mg/m2 IV over 60 minutes weekly.

  • CisplatinDrug

    Also called Chemotherapy, Platinum therapy

    Cisplatin is given as an IV infusion, over 1 hour, 1 hour after the cetuximab infusion, every 3 weeks up to a maximum of 6 cycles (with standard pre- or post-treatment therapies at the investigator's discretion).

  • CarboplatinDrug

    Also called Chemotherapy, Platinum therapy

    Carboplatin is given as an IV-bolus, over 30-60 minutes, every 3 weeks, for a maximum of 6 cycles (with standard pre- or post-treatment therapies at the investigator's discretion).

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of participants experiencing dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)

    DLTs are used to determine the maximum tolerated dose.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Pharmacokinetic profile of serum patritumab

    Cmax and AUC

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Pharmacokinetic profile of serum cetuximab

    Cmax and AUC

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Percentage of participants with human anti-human antibody (HAHA) formation (anti-patritumab antibodies)

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Titer of HAHA formation (anti-patritumab antibodies)

    A titer is a way of expressing concentration. Titer testing employs serial dilution to obtain approximate quantitative information from an analytical procedure that inherently only evaluates as positive or negative. The titer corresponds to the highest dilution factor that still yields a positive reading.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Patritumab, Cetuximab and Cisplatin in people with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck, run by Daiichi Sankyo at 3 sites in United Kingdom.

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 10 inclusion and 17 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 11 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United Kingdom. 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?

Percentage of participants experiencing dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: 6 months). 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 11 Sep 2018.
