Plain English summary of protocol
Background and study aims
This study is designed to assess the safety, biological responses to treatment, and therapeutic activity of the drug selicrelumab in combination with vanucizumab or bevacizumab in participants with metastatic solid tumors not amenable to standard treatment. These drugs are all laboratory-produced molecules designed to mimic molecules produces by the body's immune system to target cancer cells. Part I of the study is designed to establish the highest dose of selicrelumab in this combination that does not cause unacceptable side effects. Part II of the study is intended to characterize the safety and tolerability of selicrelumab in combination with bevacizumab among a cancer patient cohort, and to confirm the recommended dose.
Who can participate?
Participants with advanced/metastatic solid tumor and advanced/metastatic platinum-resistant ovarian carcinoma.
What does the study involve?
This study consists of two parts.
Part I aims to define the highest dose of selicrelumab in this combination that does not cause unacceptable side effects and/or dose of selicrelumab in this combination that is reliably effective. Participants will receive treatment over 24 months, as long as they experience a clinical benefit, or until there are unacceptable side effects or toxicity, or if the participant withdraws their consent. Participants will receive a fixed dose of vanucizumab, via a small plastic tube in a vein on days 1 and 15 of every 28-day cycle of treatment over the 24 month period. This will be followed by selicrelumab in an increasing dose, via an injection under the skin, on day 2 of cycles 1-4, and then day 2 of every third cycle after. There will be 4 groups of participants each receiving the same dose of vanucizumab but starting on different doses of selicrelumab. Due to the discontinuation of vanucizumab development, participants ongoing in Part I switched from vanucizumab to bevacizumab.
In part II of the study participants will receive treatment over 18 months until there is no clinical benefit, there are unacceptable side effects or toxicity, or the participant withdraws their consent. Participants diagnosed with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), checkpoint-inhibitor (CPI)-experienced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), or advanced platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (aPROC) will receive bevacizumab 10 mg/kg , via a small plastic tube in a vein, on days 1 and 15 of every 28-day cycle, followed by selicrelumab 16 mg, via an injection under the skin, on day 2 of cycles 1-4, and then day 2 of every third cycle after.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Safety data from previous studies of vanucizumab, bevacizumab, and RO7009789 have shown an increased risk of blood clots developing which may obstruct a blood vessel. There may also potentially be an increased risk of immune-mediated adverse events with the combination treatment.
Where is the study run from?
The study will be run from Genentech, Inc (USA) and conducted in hospitals across 6 countries (Belgium, USA, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark, and Canada).
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
From March 2015 to October 2019

| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Metastatic solid tumor |
| Intervention | This open-label, two-part study is designed to assess the safety, PK, PD, and therapeutic activity of selicrelumab in combination with vanucizumab or bevacizumab in participants with metastatic solid tumors not amenable to standard treatment. Part I (dose escalation) is designed to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of selicrelumab in this combination. Part II (expansion) is intended to characterize the safety and tolerability of selicrelumab in combination with bevacizumab among indication-specific cohorts and to confirm the recommended dose. Part I (dose escalation): 1. Cohorts 1-4: Selicrelumab 1-8 mg + vanucizumab. Participants will receive a fixed dose of vanucizumab, 2 g via IV infusion on days 1 and 15 of every 28-day cycle followed by selicrelumab 1-8 mg, subcutaneous (SC) injection on day 2 of cycles 1 to 4, and every third cycle thereafter. 2. Cohorts 5-7: Selicrelumab 12-18 mg + vanucizumab. Participants will receive a fixed dose of vanucizumab, 2 g via IV infusion on days 1 and 15 of every 28-day cycle followed by selicrelumab 12-18 mg, subcutaneous (SC) injection on day 2 of cycles 1 to 4, and every third cycle thereafter. 3. Cohorts 8-9: Selicrelumab 24-32 mg + vanucizumab. Participants will receive a fixed dose of vanucizumab, 2 g via IV infusion on days 1 and 15 of every 28-day cycle followed by selicrelumab 24-32 mg, subcutaneous (SC) injection on day 2 of cycles 1 to 4, and every third cycle thereafter. 4. Cohorts 10-12: Selicrelumab 40-72 mg + vanucizumab. Participants will receive a fixed dose of vanucizumab, 2 g via IV infusion on days 1 and 15 of every 28-day cycle followed by selicrelumab 40-72 mg, subcutaneous (SC) injection on day 2 of cycles 1 to 4, and every third cycle thereafter. For each cohort, treatment will be continued as long as the participant experiences clinical benefit or until unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or the end of Part I of the study (approximately 24 months). Due to the discontinuation of vanucizumab development, participants ongoing in Part I will be switched from vanucizumab to bevacizumab. All the dose escalations were performed using vanucizumab. Part II (expansion): 1. Selicrelumab + Bevacizumab (HNSCC). Participants diagnosed with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) will receive bevacizumab 10 mg/kg via IV infusion on days 1 and 15 of every 28-day cycle followed by selicrelumab 16 mg via SC injection on day 2 of cycles 1 to 4, and every third cycle thereafter. 2. Selicrelumab + Bevacizumab (NSCLC). Participants diagnosed with checkpoint-inhibitor (CPI)-experienced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will receive bevacizumab 10 mg/kg via IV infusion on days 1 and 15 of every 28-day cycle followed by selicrelumab 16 mg via SC injection on day 2 of cycles 1 to 4, and every third cycle thereafter. 3. Selicrelumab + Bevacizumab (aPROC). Participants diagnosed with advanced platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (aPROC) will receive bevacizumab 10 mg/kg via IV infusion on days 1 and 15 of every 28-day cycle followed by selicrelumab 16 mg via SC injection on day 2 of cycles 1 to 4, and every third cycle thereafter. For each cohort, treatment will be continued until loss of clinical benefit, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or end of Part II of the study (approximately 18 months). The safety follow-up visit will take 45 days post-last dose, which will occur at a maximum of approximately 42 months after the first dose (day 1, cycle 1). The safety analysis population will include all participants who enrol in the study and receive at least one dose of study medication. The efficacy analysis population will include all evaluable participants who enrol in the study and receive at least one dose of study medication. The pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis population will include participants who receive at least one dose of selicrelumab during the study and have at least 3 quantifiable plasma concentrations post selicrelumab administration. |
