Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - TargomiRs

Experimental: Single arm, open label TargomiRs - TargomiRs are IV injected.

Phase 1 Planned dose levels

Dose level 1: 5 billion once a week Dose level 2: 5 billion twice a week Dose level 3: 5 billion once a week with cardiac monitoring Dose level 4: 2.5 billion twice a week with cardiac monitoring Dose level 5: as for dose level #3 with a dexamethasone challenge

All patients begin on a micro dose of one billion and increase their dose over 2 weeks and reach their phase 1 dose level on week 3.

Schedule of assessments includes laboratory and physical assessments in the 24 hours after each treatment as well as periodic assessments such as PET and CT scans for tumour assessment.

100% of the data will be source data verified. Analysis will be simple phase 1 analysis based on a 3+3 model.


Treatment: Drugs: TargomiRs
TargomiRs are targeted minicells containing a microRNA mimic. They consist of three components: 1. A miR-16-based microRNA mimic. The miR-16 family has been implicated as a tumour suppressor in a range of cancer types. The mimic is a double-stranded, 23 base pair, synthetic RNA molecule. 2. Drug delivery vehicle - EDVs. EDVs are nonliving bacterial minicells (nanoparticles). They function as leak resistant micro-reservoir carriers that allow efficient packaging of a range of different drugs, proteins or nucleic acids. 3. Targeting moiety. The EDVs are targeted to EGFR-expressing cancer cells with an anti-EGFR bispecific antibody.

TargomiRs are IV injected.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 0 0
There is a composite primary outcome to establish maximum tolerated dose and dose limiting toxicities The MTD will be determined by the assessment of dose limiting toxicities.
Timepoint [1] 0 0
DLTs assessed from treatment 1 for 2 weeks. MTD is measured from first treatment to toxicity (up to 18 months).
Primary outcome [2] 0 0
to evaluate the effect of multiple dosing of TargomiRs
Timepoint [2] 0 0
the lab and physical assessments are conducted from first treatment, multiple times in a 24 hour period after treatment for up to 18 months
Primary outcome [3] 0 0
to detect early signs of efficacy
Timepoint [3] 0 0
8 weeks, when formal assessment with RECIST is applied and QoL questionnaires assessed.
Secondary outcome [1] 0 0
QOL assessment
Timepoint [1] 0 0
Baseline & weekly or twice weekly (depending on patient's cohort) up to 8 weeks
Secondary outcome [2] 0 0
ECOG PS change
Timepoint [2] 0 0
ECOG PS will be assessed from baseline til 8 weeks
Secondary outcome [3] 0 0
Pulmonary function change
Timepoint [3] 0 0
Pulmonary function is measured in screening and at 8 weeks
