NCT02493751

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1b, open-label, multi-center, multiple-dose trial designed to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and select the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of avelumab (MSB0010718C) in combination with axitinib (AG-013736). Once the MTD of avelumab administered in combination with axitinib is estimated (dose finding portion), the dose expansion phase will be opened to further characterize the combination in term of safety profile, anti tumor activity, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and biomarker modulation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    DLT: greater than or equal to (\>=) Grade 3 hematologic/non-hematologic toxicity, Grade 3-4 liver-related laboratory test elevation (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase) with Grade 2 elevation of total bilirubin, non-hematologic Grade 3 laboratory abnormality (required medical intervention to treat participant/led to hospitalization), inability to complete \>=75% of first 2 cycles doses of axitinib (from Cycle 1 Day 1 after completion of lead-in period) or 2 infusions of avelumab within DLT observation period due to investigational product related toxicity.

    DLT observation period (from the beginning of Cycle 1 up to the end of Cycle 2 [28 days])

Secondary Outcomes (21)

  • Number of Participants With All-causality Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Baseline up to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment (maximum of 259.7 weeks)

  • Number of Participants With Treatment-related TEAEs

    Baseline up to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment (maximum of 259.7 weeks)

  • Number of Participants With Laboratory Abnormalities Graded by NCI CTCAE Version 4.03 - Hematology

    Baseline up to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment and 1 day before the start day of new anti-cancer drug therapy (maximum of 259.7 weeks)

  • Number of Participants With Laboratory Abnormalities Graded by NCI CTCAE Version 4.03 - Chemistry

    Baseline up to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment and 1 day before the start day of new anti-cancer drug therapy (maximum of 259.7 weeks)

  • Change From Baseline in Vital Signs - Sitting Diastolic Blood Pressure

    Baseline, Day 1 of each cycle, Day 8 of Cycles 1 and 2, end of treatment, Follow-up Days 30, 60, 90 for all participants in the analysis population, and Lead-in Day 7 for participants with lead-in (maximum of 139.6 weeks by PCD)

  • +16 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Dose finding phase and dose expansion phase.

EXPERIMENTAL

Dose finding phase and dose expansion phase.

Axitinib with two dose levels: 5 mg and 3 mg oral BID to find the maximum tolerated dose in combination with avelumab and continue treatment in a dose expansion.

Dose finding phase and dose expansion phase.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced RCC with clear cell component
  • Primary tumor resected
  • Availability of a recent formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue block from a de novo tumor biopsy during screening (biopsied tumor lesion should not be a RECIST target lesion). Alternatively, a recently obtained archival FFPE tumor tissue block (not cut slides) from a primary or metastatic tumor resection or biopsy can be provided if the following criteria are met: 1) the biopsy or resection was performed within 1 year of enrollment AND 2) the patient has not received any intervening systemic anti-cancer treatment from the time the tissue was obtained and enrollment onto the current study. If an FFPE tissue block cannot be provided as per documented regulations,, 15 unstained slides (10 minimum) will be acceptable.
  • Availability of an archival FFPE tumor tissue block from primary diagnosis specimen (if available and not provided per above). If an FFPE tissue block cannot be provided, 15 unstained slides (10 minimum) will be acceptable
  • At least one measureable lesion as defined by RECIST version 1.1 that has not been previously irradiated.
  • Age ≥18 years (≥ 20 years in Japan).
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1
  • Adequate bone marrow function, renal and liver functions

You may not qualify if:

  • Prior systemic therapy directed at advanced RCC.
  • Prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy for RCC if disease progression or relapse has occurred during or within 12 months after the last dose of treatment
  • Prior immunotherapy with IL-2, IFN-α, or anti PD 1, anti PD L1, anti PD L2, anti CD137, or anti cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen 4 (CTLA 4) antibody (including ipilimumab), or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T cell co stimulation or immune checkpoint pathways
  • Prior therapy with axitinib as well as any prior therapies with other VEGF pathway inhibitors.
  • Known severe hypersensitivity reactions to monoclonal antibodies (Grade ≥3), any history of anaphylaxis.
  • Any of the following in the previous 6 months: myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, symptomatic congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack, deep vein thrombosis or symptomatic pulmonary embolism.
  • Vaccination within 4 weeks of the first dose of avelumab and while on trial is prohibited except for administration of inactivated vaccines (for example, inactivated influenza vaccines).
