About this study

Official title: A Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Penpulimab in the Treatment of Metastatic Pheochromocytoma/Paraganglioma Patients Who Fail to Other Systemic Treatment

Metastatic pheochromocytoma / paraganglioma (MPP) are rare while the prognosis was poor. Penpulimab is specifically an immune check-point inhibitor of PD1 and has been approved for the treatment of several malignancies.This phase II trial studies the efficacy and safety of penpulimab in the treatment of MPP patients who fail to other systemic therapy.

Read the detailed description

This was a prospective observational study. Patients with histologically or radiologically confirmed MPP and fail to other systemic therapy were enrolled. Penpulimab will be administered intravenously at a dose of 200 mg every 3 weeks. Treatment continued until the patient exhibited radiographic or clinical disease progression or unacceptable adverse events.Plasma normetanephrine and metanephrine (MNs), 24-hour urinary catecholamine excretion (24hCA) were measured at baseline and every 1-3cycle. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography(CT) of chest, abdomen and pelvis were used to assess measurable target lesions at baseline and every 3 cycles. For patients who only had bone metastases or no measurable target lesions, The efficacy was evaluated by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG-PET/CT). The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) and the disease control rate (DCR) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors(RECIST) 1.1/PERCIST1.0. Secondary endpoints included biochemical (catecholamine levels) response rate (BRR), progression-free survival (PFS) and safety.

What is being measured

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

  1. The objective response rate (ORR)

    Defined for all patients whose tumor met the criteria of Complete Response (CR)and Partial Response (PR)

    Measured: At the end of Cycle 3(each cycle is 21 days)

  2. The disease control rate (DCR)

    Defined for all patients whose tumor met the criteria of CR or PR or stable disease(SD)

    Measured: At the end of Cycle 3(each cycle is 21 days)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from the first day of treatment to the first documented disease progression per RECIST 1.1 criteria. Changes in only the largest diameter (unidimensional measurement) of the tumor lesions are used in the RECIST criteria.

    Measured: At least 1 cycle(each cycle is 21 days)

  2. biochemical response

    An effective response of 24hCA, MNs or NSE meant that the concentration decreased by more than 40% than the baseline value or decreased to the normal range

    Measured: At the end of Cycle 3 (each cycle is 21 days)

  3. Incidence of adverse events

    Incidence of adverse events assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events

    Measured: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Penpulimab in people with Pheochromocytoma, Metastatic and Pheochromocytoma Malignant, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital 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 14 inclusion and 9 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 2 Jun 2023. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Anli Tong (13911413589, tonganli@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The objective response rate (ORR) (time frame: At the end of Cycle 3(each cycle is 21 days)). 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 2 Jun 2023.
