About this study

Official title: Phase I, Open Label, Dose Escalation Study to Investigate the Tolerability and Efficacy of APO010 in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma Selected by Drug Response Predictor (DRP)

Multicentre, open label, uncontrolled, phase I pharmacokinetic study, to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of APO010 administered intravenously on D1, D8 and D15 followed by a one-week drug rest, in patients with multiple myeloma for who have relapsed or are refractory to 2 (in high-risk patients 1) or more different prior therapies and who have Drug Response Predictor (DRP) for APO010 indicating a higher likelihood for response to APO010. The study will contain an extension phase where the recommended Dose will be tested on additional patients.

Read the detailed description

APO010 is a novel investigational antitumour agent. It is a recombinant form of human Fas ligand (FasL), a protein with the function of inducing programmed cell death (apoptosis). Preclinical studies indicate that multiple myeloma is sensitive for APO010. Estimation of DRP for APO010 in myeloma patients suggests that it may be possible to identify patients with high and low likelihood for response, and thereby allocate the predicted high likelihood patients to the treatment. Preclinical results indicate that, in comparison with other single agents, APO010 exercises superior anti-tumour effect by inducing apoptosis.

The study will include patients with multiple myeloma who have relapsed or are refractory to 2 (in high-risk patients 1) or more different prior therapies, including IMiDs and PI and who have Drug Response Predictor (DRP) for APO010 indicating a higher likelihood for response to APO010.

This study is a multicentre, open label, uncontrolled, phase I, dose escalation, pharmacokinetic study, to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of APO010 administered intravenously on D1, D8 and D15 followed by a one-week drug rest i.e. cycle duration is 4 weeks. The study will contain an extension phase where the Recommended Dose will be tested on additional patients.

The primary endpoint is determination of the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)based upon first cycle drug-related dose-limiting toxicity and the recommended dose of APO010. Safety will be evaluated during the study and for 30 days after the last administration of study drug. Adverse events and laboratory studies will be graded according to NCI-CTCAE v. 4.03.

The proportion of patients with positive HADA assessment will be investigated and a description of any objective tumour response based on International Myeloma Working Group criteria and from changes in M-protein and iFLC.

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Percentage (%) of patients with drug-related adverse events (adverse reactions)

    To define the safety profile of a weekly schedule of APO010, including Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.03, Physical examination, vital signs, concomitant medications and laboratory data. To define the safety profile of APO010 after chronic administration (beyond 3 consecutive administrations, i.e., two or more cycles) and to define local toxicity at the site of administration through observation of the area of infusion.

    Measured: 1 Year

  8. The HADA Antibody Response

    Assays will be performed to detect the production of antibodies against APO010 (HADA) in the serum of treated patients. If antibodies are formed, their ability to neutralize the biological activity of APO010 in in vitro cytotoxicity assay will be measured.

    Measured: 1 Year

  9. The Tumor Response

    Using International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) response criteria, based on measurements in blood and urine and in case of disappearance of M-proteins with additional confirmatory bone-marrow investigation, the number of patients with either stringent complete response (sCR), complete response (CR), very good partial response (VGPR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) or progressive disease (PD) will be measured.

    Measured: 1 Year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing APO010 in people with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma, run by Allarity Therapeutics at 1 site in Denmark.

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 18 inclusion and 28 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jan 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 Denmark. 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 was stopped early (reason given: The study was terminated early due to sponsors decision). 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?

Maximum Tolerated Dosage (time frame: 1 Year). The study lists 2 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 30 Jan 2020.
