About this study

Official title: Phase 1B Study of ADI-PEG 20 Plus Pembrolizumab in Advanced Solid Cancers

This is a phase 1b, open label trial of ADI-PEG 20 (36 mg/m2) weekly in combination with pembrolizumab (1 and 2 mg/kg or 200 mg) every three weeks. Assessment of safety and tolerability of drug combination

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, phase 1b trial of ADI-PEG 20 in combination with pembrolizumab in subjects with advanced cancers. Dose escalation will occur using a 3 + 3 + 3 design.

The first subject in a dose escalation cohort must have had treatment with ADI-PEG 20 + pembrolizumab with a week of follow up) before the next 2 subjects are enrolled. Thus subjects 2 and 3 may be enrolled on day 8 if there is no dose limiting toxicity (DLT) in subject 1. No additional delay is required between treating subjects 4 to 6 or 7 to 9 in an expanded cohort. Before proceeding to the next cohort dose level, the first 3 eligible subjects in each cohort will have received at least 21 days of treatment (i.e. at least 2 of the expected 3 doses of ADI-PEG 20 + one dose of pembrolizumab).

Being tested
ADI PEG20, Pembrolizumab

What participants receive

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

  • ADI PEG20Drug

    ADI is a recombinant protein cloned from M. hominis and produced in E. coli, and conjugated with PEG of 20,000 mw. Thus ADI-PEG 20 is an arginine degrading enzyme, ADI, coupled to PEG.

  • PembrolizumabDrug

    Also called Keytruda®

    Pembrolizumab is a PD-1 blocking antibody indicated in the USA for the treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability of ADI-PEG 20 in combination with Pembrolizumab in Advanced Solid Cancers

    Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events and severity this is graded by CTCAE and MedDRA for Coding

    Measured: Up to 36 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants with PFS with Combination ADI-PEG 20 and Pembro.

    Progression Free Survival determined by RECIST 1.1

    Measured: Assessments ever 9 weeks for 12 months

  2. Number of Participants with RR with Combination ADI-PEG 20 and Pembro.

    Response Rate determined by RECIST 1.1

    Measured: Assessments ever 9 weeks for 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ADI PEG20 and Pembrolizumab in people with Advanced Solid Cancers, run by Polaris Group at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 27 Apr 2022. 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 Taiwan. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Changing Corporate Priorities). 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 Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability of ADI-PEG 20 in combination with Pembrolizumab in Advanced Solid Cancers (time frame: Up to 36 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 27 Apr 2022.
