Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) that inhibits angiogenesis and extends survival in patients with a wide variety of solid tumor types. TRC105 is a monoclonal antibody to CD105, an angiogenic target highly expressed on the tumor vessels and the tumor cells in choriocarcinoma. Together, these antibodies may be efficacious in metastatic and refractory choriocarcinoma, a tumor type that is highly vascular and expresses endoglin. The purpose of this study is to determine whether TRC105 in combination with Bevacizumab is effective in the treatment of two patients with metastatic and refractory choriocarcinoma.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

  3. Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 and elevated serum β-hCG
  4. Histologically proven choriocarcinoma that has progressed despite all described lines of chemotherapy for this condition

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Prior treatment with TRC105
  2. Serious dose-limiting toxicity related to prior bevacizumab
  3. Current treatment on another therapeutic clinical trial
  4. Uncontrolled chronic hypertension defined as systolic > 140 or diastolic > 90 despite optimal therapy (initiation or adjustment of BP medication prior to study entry is allowed provided that the average of 3 BP readings at a visit prior to enrollment is < 140/90 mm Hg)
  5. Symptomatic pericardial or pleural effusions
  6. Uncontrolled peritoneal effusions requiring paracentesis more frequently than every 2 weeks
  7. Active bleeding or pathologic condition that carries a high risk of bleeding (i.e. hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia)
  8. Thrombolytic or anticoagulant use (except to maintain i.v. catheters) within 10 days prior to first day of study therapy
  9. Cardiac dysrhythmias of NCI CTCAE grade ≥ 2 within the last 28 days
  10. Known active viral or nonviral hepatitis
  11. Open wounds or unhealed fractures within 28 days of starting study treatment
  12. History of peptic ulcer disease or erosive gastritis within the past 6 months, unless treated for the condition and complete resolution has been documented by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) within 28 days of starting study treatment
  13. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) related illness
  14. Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the Investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for this study

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression Free Survival of Two Patients With Metastatic and Refractory Choriocarcinoma
Time Frame: Assessed every 8 weeks for up to 35 Months
Progression Free Survival of Two Patients With Metastatic and Refractory Choriocarcinoma determined according to RECIST 1.1 including measurement of serum β- hCG. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. A 5 mm absolute increase is also required to guard against over calling PD when the total sum is very small.
Assessed every 8 weeks for up to 35 Months
Objective Response Rate of Two Patients With Metastatic and Refractory Choriocarcinoma by RECIST 1.1 Including Measurement of Serum β- hCG
Time Frame: Assessed every 8 weeks for up to 35 Months

To determine the Objective Response Rate of two patients with metastatic and refractory choriocarcinoma by RECIST 1.1 including measurement of serum β- hCG. Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) categorizes response as:

Complete Response (CR) - Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR) - >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR
Assessed every 8 weeks for up to 35 Months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Frequency and Severity of Adverse Events
Time Frame: Assessed weekly during and up to 28 days after completion of study protocol over a maximum period of 35 months.
Adverse event frequency and severity according to CTCAE version 4.0.
Assessed weekly during and up to 28 days after completion of study protocol over a maximum period of 35 months.
