A Phase 2 Evaluation of TRC105 In Combination With Bevacizumab in Patients With Glioblastoma

Study Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TRC105 in patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma after prior antiangiogenic therapy (including anti-VEGF therapy)

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with histologically confirmed glioblastoma, recurrent after prior external-beam fractionated radiotherapy and temozolomide chemotherapy. 2. Patients with documented radiographic progression following bevacizumab therapy for treatment of glioblastoma. 3. Patients with up to 3 prior recurrences are allowed. 4. Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70%. 5. Age ≥ 18 years old. 6. Normal organ function.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • - Patients who have had previous treatment with TRC105.
  • - Patients who have undergone major surgery (e.g. intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic), open biopsy or significant traumatic injury ≤ 4 weeks prior to starting study drug, or patients who have had minor procedures, percutaneous biopsies or placement of vascular access device ≤ 1 week prior to starting study drug, or who have not recovered from side effects of such procedure or injury.
  • - Patients with cirrhosis, or active viral or nonviral hepatitis.
  • - Patients with active bleeding or pathologic conditions that carry a high risk of bleeding,(i.e. hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia).
  • - Patients who are currently receiving anticoagulation treatment.
- Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT01564914
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Angiogenesis plays a central role in the progression of solid cancer. TRC105 is an antibody to CD105, an important non-VEGF angiogenic target on proliferating endothelial cells. TRC105 inhibits angiogenesis, tumor growth and metastases in preclinical models. TRC105 has been well tolerated in patients with glioblastoma (GBM) as a single agent. The combination of TRC105 in combination with bevacizumab has demonstrated activity in bevacizumab refractory cancer patients. We hypothesize that TRC105 when administered with bevacizumab will have activity in GBM patients who progress on bevacizumab. By targeting a non-VEGF pathway, TRC105 has the potential to complement VEGF inhibition by bevacizumab, which could represent a major advance in GBM therapy.
