A SECOND-LINE, SINGLE ARM, PHASE II CLINICAL STUDY WITH TREMELIMUMAB, A FULLY HUMAN ANTI-CTLA-4 MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY, AS MONOTHERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH UNRESECTABLE MALIGNANT MESOTHELIOMA. The MESOT-TREM-2012


Primary endpoint:

1) To assess the rate of objective clinical complete response (CR) or partial response (PR)

Secondary endpoints:

1. To define toxicity profile according to NCI CT-CAE V. 3

2. To assess the overall survival (OS)

3. To estimate disease control rate (DCR) (proportion of patients with best response of
CR+PR+SD) according to the modified Recist criteria

4. To assess the progression-free survival in treated patients according to modified
Recist criteria

5. To evaluate qualitative and quantitative changes in cellular and humoral immune
responses


Inclusion Criteria:



- Histologically or cytologically confirmed MM

- Have received only one prior systemic chemotherapy platinum-based regimen for
advanced MM

- Measurable disease, defined at least 1 unidimensionally measurable lesion > 20 mm by
conventional techniques or > 10 mm by spiral CT scan (modified RECIST criteria)

- Disease not amenable to curative surgery

- No known brain metastasis

- Age 18 and over

- Performance status 0-2

- Life expectancy > 12 weeks

- Adequate hematologic, hepatic and renal function

- Platelet count > 75000/mm3

- Absolute granulocyte count > 1000/mm3

- Hemoglobin > 9 g/dL

- Bilirubin total < 1.5 x ULN (Upper limited normal), except patients with documented
Gilbert's syndrome, who must have a total bilirubin < 3.0 mg/dl

- AST and ALT < 2.5 x ULN ( < 5 x ULN if documented liver metastasis are present)

- Creatinine level < 2mg/dl or calculated creatinine clearance > 60 mL/min as
determined by the Cockcroft Gault equation.

- Not pregnant or nursing

- Fertile patients must use effective contraception

- Patient must be willing and able to provide written informed consent, and the trial
have to be approved by the institutional review board at each institution

Exclusion Criteria:

- Symptomatic chronic inflammatory or autoimmune disease

- Active hepatitis B or C

- Prior treatment with tremelimumab or other anti-CTLA-4 antibody or anti-PD1,
anti-PDL-1 agents

- Clinically relevant cardiovascular disease

- History of psychiatric disabilities, potentially interfering with the capability of
giving adequate informed consent

- Uncontrolled active infections

- Other concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy or investigational agents

- History of other malignancies except for adequately treated basal cell carcinoma or
squamous cell skin cancer or carcinoma of cervix, unless the patient has been
disease-free for at least 5 years

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

To determine the objective response

Outcome Description:

The objective response is defined as a confirmed complete response (CR), or partial response (PR) according to the modified RECIST Criteria for pleural mesothelioma and the immune-related (ir) Response Criteria

Outcome Time Frame:

Weeks 24

Safety Issue:

No
