Study of NGR-hTNF Administered at High Doses in Patient With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumour

Lead Sponsor:

AGC Biologics S.p.A.

Conditions:

Solid Tumors

Eligibility:

All Genders

18+ years

Phase:

PHASE1

Brief Summary

The main objective of the trial is to document the safety and antivascular effect of escalating doses of NGR-hTNF, from 60 mcg/sqm to 325 mcg/sqm, in patients affected by advanced or metastatic solid ...

Detailed Description

Pre-clinical studies provide the support that NGR-TNF is endowed with a higher therapeutic index in animal models and studies of the mechanism of action showed that NGR-TNF can induce tumour necrosis ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Gastric cancer (GC) patients treated with no more than two standard systemic regimens for metastatic disease
  • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients previously resistant to standard systemic regimens
  • Pancreatic carcinoma (PC) patients treated with no more than one standard systemic regimen for metastatic disease
  • Non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients treated with no more than two standard systemic regimens (including biologic agents) for metastatic disease
  • Neuroendocrine (NE) tumours refractory to somatostatin analogue treatment
  • Other rare tumours including malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), soft-tissue sarcoma (STS), and renal cell carcinoma (RCC), resistant/refractory to current standard treatments
  • Life expectancy more than 3 months
  • ECOG Performance status 0-1
  • Adequate baseline bone marrow, hepatic and renal function, defined as follows:
  • Neutrophils \>1.5 x 10\^9/L and platelets \> 100 x 10\^9/L
  • Bilirubin \<1.5 x ULN
  • AST and/or ALT \<2.5 x ULN in absence of liver metastasis
  • AST and/or ALT \<5 x ULN in presence of liver metastasis
  • Serum creatinine \<1.5 x ULN
  • Creatinine clearance (estimated according to Cockcroft-Gault formula) ≥ 50 ml/min

  • Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, or immunotherapy: wash-out period of 28 days
  • Surgery: wash-out period of 14 days
  • Patients must give written informed consent to participate in the study.

Exclusion

  • Concurrent anticancer therapy
  • Patients must not receive any other investigational agents while on study
  • Patients with myocardial infarction within the last six (6) months, unstable angina, New York Heart Association (NYHA) grade II or greater congestive heart failure, or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication
  • Uncontrolled hypertension
  • Prolonged QTc interval (congenital or acquired) \> 450 ms

  • History or evidence upon physical examination of CNS disease unless adequately treated (e.g., primary brain tumor, any brain metastasis, seizure not controlled with standard medical therapy), or history of stroke
  • Patients with active or uncontrolled systemic disease/infections or with serious illness or medical conditions, which is incompatible with the protocol
  • Known hypersensitivity/allergic reaction or contraindications to human albumin preparations or to any of the excipients
  • Any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol
