Clinical Trial Summary

The phase I part of the study is a dose-finding study of escalating doses of CBP501 combined with full-dose cisplatin and pemetrexed in patients with histologically confirmed solid malignancy that is metastatic or unresectable and for which standard curative or palliative measures do not exist or are no longer effective or would otherwise be eligible for cisplatin and pemetrexed as first-line therapy. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) will be determined based on DLTs occurring during the first treatment cycle. Pharmacokinetics of the triplet combination will be assessed during the phase I part of the trial.

The phase II part will evaluate full-dose cisplatin and pemetrexed combined with CBP501 (at the MTD determined in the phase I part) in previously untreated, unresectable malignant pleural mesothelioma patients. Patients will be randomized in a 2 : 1 ratio to pemetrexed, cisplatin and CBP501 (Arm A) or to pemetrexed and cisplatin (Arm B); randomization will be stratified according to histology and performance status.

Description:

This is an open-label, multicenter, international, phase I-II study. The phase I part, a dose-finding study of escalating doses of CBP501 combined with fixed full-dose cisplatin and pemetrexed, has been completed and results are presented in this report. MTD was determined on DLT occurring during the first cycle. This phase I part was evaluated in a patient population with advanced solid tumors The phase II part will evaluate full-dose cisplatin and pemetrexed combined with CBP501 at the MTD determined in the phase I part. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to pemetrexed, cisplatin and CBP501 (Arm A) or pemetrexed and cisplatin (Arm B). This phase II part will be evaluated in chemotherapy-naïve patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma

Randomization will be stratified by:

• Histology: epithelial vs other (sarcomatoid or biphasic)

• Performance status: 0-1 vs 2

The patient has an ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, symptomatic or poorly controlled cardiac arrhythmia, uncontrolled thrombotic or hemorrhagic disorder, or any other serious uncontrolled medical disorders in the opinion of the investigator.

5. Any previous history of another malignancy within 5 years of study entry (other than cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin or cured in-situ carcinoma of the cervix)

6. Presence of any significant central nervous system or psychiatric disorder(s) that would hamper the patient's compliance

7. Evidence of peripheral neuropathy > grade 1 according to NCI-CTCAE Version 3
