Protocol EC-FV-03: A Phase II Study of EC145 in Patients With Progressive Adenocarcinoma of the Lung


This is a Phase II clinical trial of EC145 administered to patients with progressive
adenocarcinoma of the lung.

EC145 is a drug that is specifically designed to enter cancer cells via the folate vitamin
receptor (FR). Experimental evidence shows that this target receptor is expressed on a
significant portion of non-small cell lung cancers. Early clinical evidence in a small
number of Phase I patients suggests that EC145 is generally well-tolerated, without many of
the side-effects observed in more-standard therapeutic agents. This evidence suggests that
EC145 may be useful as a chemotherapy against progressive adenocarcinomas of the lung. The
primary objective of this study is to collect data on clinical benefit produced by therapy
with EC145.

All patients will undergo imaging with the FR targeting investigational imaging agent EC20
(FolateScan) during the screening period to confirm eligibility for the treatment portion of
the clinical trial. Clinical evidence suggests that EC20 may be used to identify patients
with cancers that express the target receptor.

Information about the safety and tolerability of both EC145 and EC20 will be assessed.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Advanced, progressive, adenocarcinoma of the lung.

- Previously received at least 2 cytotoxic containing chemotherapeutic regimens (can
include an EGFR inhibitor). There is no upper limit to the number of prior
chemotherapeutic regimens.

- ECOG performance status of 0-2.

- At least 4 weeks from prior therapy and recovered from associated acute toxicities.

- Radiographic evidence of measurable disease and EC20 "positive" tumor.

- Adequate bone marrow reserve, hepatic, and renal function.

- Negative serum pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential and willingness to
practice contraceptive methods.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Serious comorbidities (as determined by the Principal Investigator).

- History of carcinomatous peritonitis.

- History of severe bowel obstruction (as determined by the Principal Investigator).

- Women who are pregnant or lactating.

- Prior radiation therapy to assessable disease, unless disease progression is
confirmed at that site.

- Patients requiring palliative radiotherapy at time of study entry.

Note: Patients with CNS metastasis are eligible if a) they have been treated for the CNS
metastasis and have been clinically stable (with regard to their CNS disease) for >4 weeks
and b) they do not require steroids or antiseizure medications (i.e., for seizure
control), or if the CNS metastasis has been untreated to date, it is not associated with a
midline shift or significant edema and there is no clinically-evident requirement for
steroids or antiseizure medication. In either situation, patients must be off steroids
and/or antiseizure medications for at least 14 days.
