Study of CD133KDEL Toxin in the Treatment for Solid Tumors

Phase I Study Of Stem-Cell Directed Deimmunized CD133KDEL Toxin In The Treatment Of Solid Tumors

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Pathologically or cytologically confirmed, metastatic or unresectable solid tumor malignancy.
2. Measurable or evaluable disease per RECIST 1.1 criteria (Appendix II), or modified RECIST criteria for mesothelioma (Appendix II).

3. At least 1 prior line of systemic therapy considered standard for the malignancy, and for which no standard therapies exist. Prior systemic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biological therapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery are allowed before the first dose of dCD133KDEL with the following restrictions:

   • At least 14 days since any systemic therapy.
   • At least 28 days since any experimental therapy.
   • At least 14 days since any radiation therapy.
   • At least 28 days since any major surgery, defined as a surgery involving a risk to the life of the patient, specifically, an operation upon an organ within the cranium, chest, abdomen, or pelvic cavity.
4. Recovered from the acute toxic effects (≤ grade 1, CTCAE v4.0) of previous cancer treatment prior to study registration.
5. ECOG performance status 0 or 1 (Appendix III).

6. Adequate organ function within 14 days of study registration, defined as follows System Parameter Laboratory Value Hematologic Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 x 10^9 /L Hemoglobin* 9 g/dL Platelets* ≥100 x 10^9 /L Hepatic Total bilirubin < 2 x ULN^ ALT < 2 x ULN^ Renal Serum creatinine < 1.5 mg/dL OR estimated GFR >50 by modified Cockcroft-Gault (* Patient may not have had a transfusion within 7 days

   ^ Upper limit of institutional normal.)

7. Albumin ≥ 3.0 gm/dL within 14 days of study registration.
8. Adequate cardiac function, defined as an ejection fraction ≥40% on transthoracic echocardiogram done within 14 days of study registration.
9. QT/QTc interval ≤ 450 milliseconds within 14 days of study registration. If this screening EKG demonstrates a QT/QTc interval > 450 milliseconds, a second screening EKG will be done within 7 days to document that the QT prolongation is persistent. The patient will be eligible if the second screening EKG shows a QT/QTc interval ≤ 450 milliseconds but will require additional EKGs during the study period as outlined in section 6.1.2.
10. Adequate pulmonary function, defined as resting oxygen saturation ≥ 90% on room air and/or pulmonary function tests (PFT) showing corrected DLCO >50% and FEV1 ≥ 2 liters or ≥ 60% of predicted. PFT testing is required within 28 days of study registration only if the patient is symptomatic or prior known impairment is present.
11. Females of childbearing potential and males who have partners of childbearing potential must agree to use 2 effective contraception methods, one of which must be a barrier method, during the study and for ≥12 weeks after the last dose of dCD133KDEL. Effective methods include intrauterine device (IUD), Depo-Provera injection or implant, Evra patch, NuvaRing, oral contraception, and diaphragm/spermicide with condom.
12. Ability to understand and provide voluntary written consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Known active CNS metastases or neurological symptoms possibly related to CNS metastases, spinal cord compression, or evidence of leptomeningeal disease. Patients with a history of brain metastases who have undergone whole brain radiation or gamma knife treatment ≥ 28 days prior to registration, whose metastases are documented as stable or resolved at the time of screening by brain MRI (or head CT with contrast for those who are intolerant of MRI), and do not require ≥10 mg of prednisone equivalent for symptom management related to the brain metastases, are eligible.
2. Known uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias, electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia or active conduction system abnormalities within 28 days of registration.
3. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

4. History of any one or more cardiovascular conditions within 12 weeks of study registration

   • cardiac angioplasty or stenting
   • myocardial infarction
   • unstable angina
   • coronary artery bypass graft surgery
   • symptomatic peripheral vascular disease
   • Class III or IV congestive heart failure, as defined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA, Appendix IV)
   • transient ischemic attack and/or cerebrovascular accident
5. History of another malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer or treated carcinoma in situ, unless documented to be disease free for at least 3 years.
6. History of allergic reaction or sensitivity to compounds of similar chemical or biological composition to dCD133KDEL, or any of the components of dCD133KDEL (i.e. Polysorbate 80).
7. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or women intending to become pregnant. Females of child bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 14 days of study registration.
8. Prior toxin-directed therapy
