About
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of trebananib and temsirolimus when given together in treating patients with solid tumors that are metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery. Trebananib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving trebananib with temsirolimus may be an effective treatment for solid tumors.
Full description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) and safety profile of AMG 386 (trebananib) in combination with temsirolimus in patients with advanced solid tumors.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of both drugs when administered in combination, with the goal of identifying potential predictive and PD markers that need further exploration and validation in future trials.
II. To explore preliminary anti-tumor activity of both drugs when administered at the RP2D to patients with advanced endometrial cancer, renal cell carcinoma, or carcinoid tumor.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of trebananib.
Patients receive trebananib intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes and temsirolimus IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days.

Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as >= 20 mm with conventional techniques or as >= 10 mm with spiral computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or calipers by clinical exam
-
DOSE ESCALATION COHORTS: No limitation on prior therapy; however, there must be at least a 4 week interval between initiation of study treatment and any prior radiotherapy or systemic therapy, 6 weeks if the last regimen included carmustine (BCNU) or mitomycin C; exceptions may be made however, for low dose, non-myelosuppressive radiotherapy for symptomatic palliation; please contact the study coordinator at the Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) Phase I Consortium Central Office or the principal investigator if any questions arise about interpretation of this criterion

-
Carcinoid tumor: Patients diagnosed with carcinoid tumor must have demonstrated radiographic evidence of disease progression within six months prior to enrollment; prior and/or concurrent long-acting somatostatin analogue therapy is allowed; if patient is continued on a long-acting somatostatin analogue, a stable dose for >= 2 months prior to study entry is required with documentation of progressive disease on current dose; prior radiolabeled octreotide therapy is allowed; prior regional treatments for liver metastasis are permitted including:
- Selective internal radiation therapy (i.e. brachytherapy, radiolabeled microsphere embolization, etc)
