Clinical Trial: MORAb-004 in Treating Young Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Solid Tumors or Lymphoma

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Study of the TEM-1 Antibody, MORAb-004 (IND# 103821), in Children With Recurrent or Refractory Solid Tumors

Brief Summary: This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of MORAb-004 in treating young patients with recurrent or refractory solid tumors or lymphoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as MORAb-004, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them

Detailed Summary:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose of MORAb-004 (anti-endosialin/TEM1 monoclonal antibody MORAb-004) administered as an intravenous infusion every week to children with refractory solid tumors.

II. To define and describe the toxicities of MORAb-004 administered on this schedule.

III. To characterize the pharmacokinetics of MORAb-004 in children with refractory cancer.

IV. To monitor for the development of human anti-human antibody (HAHA) in children receiving MORAb-004.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To preliminarily define the antitumor activity of MORAb-004 within the confines of a phase 1 study.

II. To examine tumor endothelial marker-1 (TEM-1) and PDGFRB levels in tissue and plasma samples as potential biomarkers of MORAb-004 activity.

III. To correlate baseline expression of TEM-1 and PDGFRB (in issue and plasma)with clinical parameters including disease response in an exploratory manner.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study.

Patients receive anti-endosialin/TEM1 monoclonal antibody MORAb-004 intravenously (IV) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 13 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Current Primary Outcome:

  • MTD, defined as the maximum dose at which fewer than one-third of patients experience dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) graded according to the revised National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 4 weeks ]
  • Incidence of toxicities, graded according to NCI CTCAE version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    A descriptive summary of all toxicities will be reported.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
