Read the detailed description

This is a phase Ib, open, mono-center, dose-escalation, tolerability and pharmacokinetic study evaluating the Recombinant Humanized Anti-PD-1 mAb for Injection in combination with Axitinib in patients with advanced kidney cancer and melanoma who have failed in routine systemic treatment.The study will be conducted in 2 parts: dose escalation and cohort expansion.

18 to 24 patients will be enrolled in dose escalation part.This part is to analyze safety and efficacy of the humanized anti-PD-1 antibody in combination with axitinib and to confirm dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose (RD). After finishing the dose escalation part, we will enroll other patients for each tumor types of recommended dose group to ensure each group have 10 patients. This part is to further analyze safety and efficacy of the humanized anti-PD-1 antibody.

What participants receive

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

  • humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody ToripalimabBiological

    Also called JS001, TAB001

    humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody Toripalimab is a programmed death-1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibitor antibody, which selectively interferes with the combination of PD-1 with its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, resulting in the activation of lymphocytes and elimination of malignancy theoretically.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody Toripalimab in people with Kidney Cancer Stage Iv and Advanced Melanoma, run by Shanghai Junshi Bioscience Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

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 12 inclusion and 18 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2020. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT03086174, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 30 Sep 2020.
