Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of weekly dosing of CRLX101 (both as monotherapy; (Schedule 1) and in combination with bevacizumab every 2 weeks (Schedule 2) and weekly with a 3 week on / 1 week off schedule in combination with mFOLFOX6 (Schedule 3) to affirm the dose for future clinical studies.

Full description

This is an open-label, dose escalation study. Subjects enrolled in Schedule 1 will receive weekly CRLX101 alone. The starting dose for Schedule 1 is 12 mg/m^2 and the next dose level is 15 mg/m^2 (or 10 mg/m^2 if 12 mg/m^2 is not well tolerated). No other dose levels in Schedule 1 will be explored.

Subjects enrolled in Schedule 2 will receive weekly CRLX101 in combination with bi-weekly bevacizumab (10 mg/kg) The starting dose for Schedule 2 is 12 mg/m^ and the next dose is 15 mg/m^2. No other dose levels in Schedule 2 will be explored

Subjects enrolled in Schedule 3 will receive weekly CRLX101 for 3 of every 4 weeks in combination with bi-weekly mFOLFOX6 (oxaliplatin 85 mg/m^2, leucovorin 400 mg/m^2 and 5FU (fluorouracil) 400 mg/m^2 bolus followed by 2400 mg/m^2 continuous infusion). The starting dose for Schedule 3 is 12 mg/m^2 and the next dose is 15 mg/m^2.

In the absence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) additional subjects may be enrolled (expansion cohort) at the same, intermediate or lower dose levels following consultation between the Investigator and Sponsor.

Enrollment of 6-8 subjects will occur in each cohort for all 3 Schedules.

The MTD is defined as the highest dose level at which fewer than 2 out of 6 subjects experience a DLT. RP2D will be selected based on overall tolerability data from all subjects treated at different dose cohorts in this study.

No intra-patient dose escalation is allowed.

Approximately 61 evaluable subjects are anticipated to be enrolled: 15 subjects in Schedule 1, 15 subjects in Schedule 2 and approximately 31 subjects are anticipated in Schedule 3 (approximately 16 in the dose escalation cohort and up to 15 in the expansion cohort).

The exact number of subjects is dependent on the actual number of subjects enrolled per cohort and the number of cohorts investigated.

      • NOTE: If screening hematology and biochemistry labs are performed ≤3 days prior to W1D1, additional pre-study labs do not need to be repeated to confirm eligibility. However, if screening hematology and biochemistry labs are performed greater than 3 days prior to W1D1, additional pre-study labs will need to be performed to confirm continued eligibility to ensure labs remain acceptable per protocol

    • NOTE: Females of childbearing potential are defined as women physically capable of becoming pregnant unless the female subject cannot have children due to surgery or other medical reasons (effective tubal ligation, ovaries or the uterus removed, or are post-menopausal). Fertile males of childbearing potential are defined as men who are sexually capable to impregnate the female partner even if surgically sterilized (i.e., vasectomy).

      • effective methods of contraception include barrier methods (latex condom, diaphragm with spermicide, cervical cap, sponge)
      • when possible, subjects should be strongly encouraged to include at least one highly effective method of contraception
  • Male subjects must agree to use appropriate method of barrier contraception (latex condom with a spermicidal agent) or abstain completely from heterosexual intercourse fro the time of informed consent and for 120 days following last dose of study drug unless female partner absolutely cannot have children because of surgery or for other medical reasons
