ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00899444
  Purpose

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients receiving monoclonal antibody GC1008 may help doctors learn more about the effects of GC1008 on cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at the effects of monoclonal antibody GC1008 in blood samples from patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic kidney cancer or malignant melanoma treated on clinical trial NCI-06-C-0200.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Dose-dependent decrease in specific phospho-Smad2 levels in patient blood samples in response to treatment with human anti-TGF-beta monoclonal antibody GC1008 [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 36
Study Start Date: December 2006
Estimated Primary Completion Date: September 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine whether treatment with human anti-TGF-beta monoclonal antibody GC1008 results in a detectable decrease in phospho-Smad2 levels in freshly collected blood samples from patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma or malignant melanoma treated on clinical trial NCI-06-C-0200.
  • To determine whether the decrease in phospho-Smad2 levels is dose-dependent.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Blood samples are collected from patients at baseline and on days 7, 56, and 63 for laboratory biomarker analysis. Levels of phospho-Smad2 and total Smad2 are measured by a bioassay and western blotting.
