Sponsored by: OXiGENE
Information provided by: OXiGENE
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00395434
  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of three dose levels of combretastatin A4 phosphate (CA4P) given intravenously (IV) in combination with bevacizumab every 14 days in patients with advanced solid tumors. The maximum tolerated dose will be defined if it is at one of the three dose levels under study.

Further study details as provided by OXiGENE:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • safety and tolerability of the combination therapy assessed by analysis of adverse events
  • safety and tolerability of the combination therapy assessed by analysis of laboratory tests
  • safety and tolerability of the combination therapy assessed by analysis of other assessments within the protocol

    3. hemoglobin > or = to 9 g/dL.
  6. Adequate renal function (glomerular filtration calculated by Cockcroft/Gault formula or measure urine creatinine clearance > or = to 50 mL/minute)
  7. Adequate hepatic function:

    1. bilirubin less than or = to 1.5 mg/dL;
    2. aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) less than or = to 2.5 times the institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) (or less than or = to 5 times ULN if liver metastases are present).
  8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
  9. Life expectancy of > or = to 12 weeks
  10. Written, signed, dated, and witnessed (if applicable as per International Conference on Harmonization [ICH] guidelines) Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) approved informed consent form before any study specific screening procedures are performed
  11. Fertile subjects must abstain from sexual intercourse or use effective birth control.
  12. All women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 72 hours of first dose.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Contraindications, allergies or sensitivity to the use of the study medications or any other products required for participation in this study (i.e.

    contrast agents)

  2. Presence of central nervous system (CNS) metastases
  3. Diagnosed squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
  4. History of gastrointestinal perforations
  5. Surgery within 28 days of screening visit or a surgical incision that is not fully healed. Any surgery planned during the study period.
  6. Proteinuria >1 g/24 hours by 24 hour urine collection (perform 24 hour urine collection if > 1+ on dipstick)
  7. Recent hemoptysis (occurrence within the past 3 months)
  8. Prior therapy with CA4P or bevacizumab, or other agents which target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or VEGFR signaling such as Sorafenib and Sutent
  9. Prior radiation involving > 30% of the bone marrow
  10. Radical radiotherapy to the thorax or abdomen at any time or post-operative radical radiotherapy to the pelvis. Palliative radiotherapy treatments are acceptable. Subjects with rectal primaries who have received pre-operative pelvic radiotherapy or chemoradiation are eligible if the small bowel was mobile and not stuck to the tumor.
  11. Active autoimmune disorder(s)
  12. Immunocompromised, including subjects known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive
  13. Active infection requiring antibiotic therapy or any other serious intercurrent illness

  20. Symptomatic peripheral vascular disease or cerebrovascular disease
  21. Psychiatric disorders or other conditions rendering subjects incapable of complying with the requirements of the protocol
  22. Receiving concurrent hormonal therapy with the exception of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists in subjects with hormone refractory prostate cancer, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), oral contraceptives, and megestrol acetate used for anorexia/cachexia
