Brief summary
The primary purpose of this study is to examine the safety of volociximab (V) in combination with a standard treatment of carboplatin (C), paclitaxel (P), and bevacizumab (B) in subjects previously untreated with chemotherapy for advanced stage (IIIB/IV) non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Detailed description
Phase 1b, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of volociximab in combination with C/P + B in subjects with previously untreated Stage IIIB/IV non-squamous NSCLC. Subjects will be treated with the C/P + B + volociximab (V)combination for a total of 6 cycles (3 weeks/cycle). Subjects with stable disease (SD)or better per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)after the 6th cycle of combination treatment (C/P + B + V) will be considered for further treatment in a maintenance phase with B + V at the same dose until subject withdrawal from treatment. Volociximab will be administered at doses ranging from 10 to 30 mg/kg every 3 weeks. Paclitaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab will be administered at their registered doses for this combination. Follow up for each subject will extend over a 90-day period following the last dose of volociximab. End of study is defined as 90 days after the last dose of volociximab for the last subject treated in the study.
Interventions
DRUGM200 (Volociximab), Carboplatin, Paclitaxel, Bevacizumab
Volociximab will be administered via IV infusion once every three week at 10, 20, and 15 or 30 mg/kg with an additional loading dose in the 10, 20, and 15 mg/kg dose levels on Day 8 of the first cycle. Volociximab will be given for up to 6 cycles (3 weeks/cycle). Subjects who have stable disease or better and subjects who have disease that is not progressing at the end of 6 cycles may continue to receive volociximab alone until disease progression. Carboplatin is administered via IV infusion and dosed based on the Calvert formula (with a target area AUC of 6 mg/mL/min) for up to 6 cycles (3 weeks/cycle). Paclitaxel is administered via IV infusion and dosed at 200 mg/m2 for up to 6 cycles (3 weeks/cycle). All four drugs, when given in combination, will be infused on the same day in the following sequence: volociximab, paclitaxel, carboplatin.
