An open-label, phase Ib, dose-escalation trial on the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, biological effects and antitumor activity of EMD 521873 in combination with local irradiation (20 Gy) of primary tumors or metastases in subjects with non-small cell lung cancer stage IIIb with malignant pleural effusion or stage IV with disease control (partial response or stable disease) after application of 4 cycles of platinum-based, first-line chemotherapy.

Conditions

Lung cancer non-small cell lung carcinoma

Interventions

This is a trial with increasing doses of Selectikine in combination with radiation. Groups of 3-6 patients (cohorts) will enter the study. The first cohort will be treated at the dose level of 0.15
and on days 1-3 and 8 of all subsequent cycles.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary endpoint is the incidence of DLTs occurring during the first cycle of administration of any dose of EMD 521873 following radiotherapy. This endpoint will be used to determine the MTD of EMD 521873.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Additional safety variables (AEs, laboratory parameters, vital signs); serum levels of anti-EMD 521873 antibodies to characterize the immunogenicity of EMD 521873; objective tumor response, change in circulating tumor cell numbers; progression-free survival and overall survival; changes in leukocyte subsets and molecular markers of immune activation
