Study summary

This multicenter study will enroll approximately 185 participants with metastatic or advanced sarcoma, to assess the effectiveness and safety of IMC-A12 monotherapy for this indication. Participants will be stratified into five tiers according to diagnosis:

  1. Ewing's sarcoma/peripheral neuroectodermal tumor (PNET)
  2. rhabdomyosarcoma
  3. leiomyosarcoma
  4. adipocytic sarcoma
  5. synovial sarcoma.

A total of 85 participants will be enrolled initially, 17 in each tier. Participants will receive single agent IMC-A12 every 2 weeks. A treatment cycle will be defined as 6 weeks, with radiological evaluation at every cycle.

Safety and response in the initial 17 participants in each tier will be used to determine whether to extend enrollment to the target total of 37 participants per tier.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine the progression-free survival (PFS) rate assessed 12 weeks after the initiation of IMC-A12 monotherapy, administered every 2 weeks to participants with previously-treated, advanced or metastatic soft tissue and Ewing's sarcoma/PNET.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(10)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Leptomeningeal disease

Cancer that has spread to the leptomeninges, the thin layers covering the brain and spinal cord, and the fluid between them. It is not the same as brain metastases.

Criteria often treat it separately, and many studies leave it out even where treated brain metastases are allowed.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Progression-Free Survival (PFS) at 12 Weeks

    PFS at 12 weeks was reported by disease condition and defined as the percentage of participants who have neither experienced disease progression nor died at 12 weeks after the date of first dose. Response was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, version 1.0) criteria. Progressive Disease (PD) was defined as having at least a 20% increase in sum of the longest diameter of target lesions or the appearance of new lesions. Percentage of participants is calculated as the total number of participants with PFS at 12 weeks divided by the total number of participants treated then multiplied by 100.

    Time frame: Baseline to Disease Progression or Death Due to Any Cause Up To 12 Weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was reported by disease condition and defined as the interval from the date of first dose until disease progression or death whichever occurred earlier. Response was defined using RECIST, version 1.0 criteria. PD was defined as having at least a 20% increase in sum of the longest diameter of target lesions or the appearance of new lesions. PFS was censored at the date of the last objective progression-free disease assessment for participants who did not experience disease progression or death.

    Time frame: Baseline to measured PD (up to 105.4 weeks)

  2. Percentage of Participants With Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) [Objective Response Rate (ORR)]

    ORR was reported by disease condition and defined as the percentage of participants achieving either CR or PR. Response was defined using RECIST, version 1.0 criteria. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. PR was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. Percentage of participants is calculated as a total number of participants with CR or PR divided by the total number of participants treated then multiplied by 100.

    Time frame: Baseline to measured PD (up to 105.4 weeks)

  3. Time to Response

    Time frame: Baseline to first evidence of confirmed CR or PR (up to 105.4 weeks)

  4. Duration of Response

    Time frame: Date of first response to the date of progression or death due to any cause (up to 105.4 weeks)

  5. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was reported by disease condition and defined as the duration from the date of enrollment to the date of death from any cause. For participants who were alive, OS was censored at the date of last follow-up visit or at the date of last contact.

    Time frame: Baseline to date of death from any cause (up to 112.9 weeks)

  6. Percentage of Participants With Best Overall Response [Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)]

    CBR was reported by disease condition. Response was defined using RECIST, version 1.0 criteria. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. PR was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. Stable Disease (SD) was defined as small changes that did not meet the above criteria. Percentage of participants with best overall response is calculated as a total number of participants with CR or PR or SD divided by the total number of participants treated then multiplied by 100.

    Time frame: Baseline through study completion (up to 105.4 weeks)

  7. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) or Deaths

    TEAEs were defined as serious and other non-serious AEs that occurred or worsened after study treatment (regardless of causality). Data presented are the number of participants who experienced TEAEs, serious TEAEs, and deaths during the study including the 30-day follow-up. A summary of serious and other non-serious AEs regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Event module.

    Time frame: Baseline through study completion (up to 112.9 weeks)

  8. Serum Anti-IMC-A12 Antibody Assessment (Immunogenicity)

    Time frame: 30-day safety follow-up
