Trial Information

An Open-Label, Long Term, Safety, and Tolerability Study of VEGF Trap in Patients With Incurable, Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumors or Lymphoma


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the long-term safety and tolerability of VEGF Trap in patients with incurable
relapsed or refractory solid tumors or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with stable or responding
disease after receiving treatment on protocol MSKCC-01131.

- Determine the biological effect of this therapy on suppressing tumor growth or
progression in these patients.

- Determine the steady state concentration of VEGF Trap over time in these patients.

- Determine whether patients develop antibodies to this therapy during extended exposure.

OUTLINE: This is an extension study for patients who showed evidence of stable disease or
complete or partial remission after completing treatment on protocol MSKCC-01131.

Patients continue to receive VEGF Trap subcutaneously once weekly for up to an additional 6
months in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Patients receive treatment at the same dose
level as on protocol MSKCC-01131.

Patients are followed at approximately 30 days.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 30 patients will be accrued for this study.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Histologically confirmed incurable relapsed or refractory solid tumor or
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that has been treated on MSKCC-01131

- Must have completed participation in protocol MSKCC-01131 through visit 16 and have
shown evidence of stable disease or complete or partial remission of tumor burden and
no evidence of symptomatic deterioration

- No adverse event or toxicity which resulted in discontinuation of participation
in protocol MSKCC-01131

- If a patient experienced dose-limiting toxicity, then the patient must have
demonstrated the ability to tolerate the same dose or a lower dose prior to
entry in this study

metastases during protocol MSKCC-01131
