Modular Trial of sEphB4-HSA in EphrinB2-High Solid Tumors

What this study is about

Patients with solid tumors that have high expression levels of EphrinB2 are treated with regimens that include EphrinB2 inhibitor, sEphB4-HSA. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate additive therapeutic benefit for sEphB4-HSA.

View original scientific description

Patients with solid tumors that have high expression levels of EphrinB2 are treated with regimens that include EphrinB2 inhibitor, sEphB4-HSA. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate additive therapeutic benefit for sEphB4-HSA. The secondary objectives are to determine whether the sEphB4-HSA containing regimen is safe and whether the oncological endpoints of importance in each cohort improve as a result of treatment with sEphB4-HSA containing regimen relative to a predefined threshold or to a control arm in the cohort where available. Treatment continues until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicities arise.

Interventions

DRUG

SEphB4-HSA

A recombinant protein comprised of the soluble form of human receptor EphB4 fused to human serum albumin.

DRUG

Pembrolizumab

Antibody to human PD-1.

DRUG

Gemcitabine

A chemotherapy drug used to treat various types of cancer.

DRUG

Cisplatin

A type of chemotherapy drug called an alkylating agent used to treat various types of cancer.

DRUG

Enfortumab vedotin

Nectin-4-directed antibody and microtubule inhibitor conjugate.

Primary outcome measures

Improved pathological response (pCR) in sEphB4-HSA+Pembro vs. Standard of Care for MIBC

Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 6 months

Pathologic complete response (pCR), a binary outcome. pCR is defined as absence of the muscle invasive component of the tumor in the radical cystectomy specimen by pathologic review. CIS (pTis), pT1, and pTa are considered to be pCR. All patients with pCR must have pN0/M0. Patients don't have pCR due to refusal of radical cystectomy, dropout prior to radical cystectomry, or pathologic evaluation results are inconclusive or unknown will be classified as non-responders in the ITT.

Improved Overall Survival (OS) in sEphB4-HSA+Pembro vs. Standard of Care for MIBC

Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months

Overall survival (OS) defined as period from randomization to death from any cause. OS will be censored at the last follow-up if patients are known to be alive. OS is a time to event variable of the primary interest.

Improved Radiographic Objective Response Rate (ORR) in sEphB4+Pembro vs. Control in mUC

Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months

Using RECIST 1.1 on CT or MR imaging of chest, MR imaging of Chest, Abdomen and Pelvis every 6 weeks for the first 3 months and then every 12 weeks.

Non-inferior Overall Survival (OS) of sEphB4+Pembro vs. Control in mUC

Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months

Overall survival (OS) defined as period from randomization to death from any cause. OS will be censored at the last follow-up if patients are known to be alive. OS is a time to event variable of the primary interest.

  • Adequate organ function as defined below using baseline laboratory requirements obtained within 14 days prior to randomization:
  • Measured or calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) greater than or equal to 30 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula using actual weight (NOT ideal or adjusted weights).
  • WBC ≥2000/uL

  • AST ≤3 x ULN
  • ALT ≤3 x ULN
  • Bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN Module A Inclusion Criteria
  • Urothelial carcinoma, variant components and differentiations allowed. Pure small cell not allowed.
  • cT2 to cT4a N0M0, by TURBT or imaging.
  • No systemic therapy for cancer in the previous 12 months.
  • Choice of treatment if randomized to the control arm must be declared prior to randomization. If cisplatin ineligible or refusing, pembrolizumab must be approved by patient's insurance prior to randomization. Module B inclusion Criteria
  • Urothelial carcinoma, variant components and differentiations allowed. Pure small cell not allowed.
  • Tumor must be Nectin4 non-amplified- testing performed during pre-screening assessment.
  • No systemic therapy for cancer in the previous 12 months.
  • Measurable disease as defined by RECIST1.1 criteria

Exclusion criteria

  • Patients with known symptomatic brain metastases requiring systemic corticosteroids. Patients with previously diagnosed brain metastases are eligible if they have completed their treatment and have recovered from the acute effects of radiation therapy or surgery prior to the start of study medication, have discontinued corticosteroid treatment for these metastases for at least 4 weeks and are neurologically stable. Mild neurological deficit is allowed, if it does not interfere with the ability to judge the safety on the trial.

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
