A Phase II Trial of Avelumab in Patients With Recurrent or Progressive Osteosarcoma

NCT03006848

Description:

This clinical trial seeks to determine if avelumab will be effective in facilitating removal of all gross tumor in the event of a relapse of osteosarcoma in pediatric patients. Avelumab will be evaluated using dosing that has previously been determined in adult studies. Primary Objectives: - To estimate the response rate to 4 cycles of avelumab in patients with recurrent or progressive osteosarcoma. - To estimate the 16-week progression free survival of patients with recurrent or progressive osteosarcoma after treatment with avelumab. Secondary Objective: - To describe the toxicities associated with the administration of avelumab in patients with recurrent or progressive osteosarcoma. - To assess the quality of life of patients with recurrent or progressive osteosarcoma undergoing treatment with avelumab, and to explore relationships between clinical factors and patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes. Exploratory Objectives: - To explore factors associated with response in patients treated with avelumab after recurrent or progressive osteosarcoma (e.g. tumor PD-L1 expression). - To measure parameters of immune activation including subsets of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and serum markers of immune activation. - To evaluate the role of T-cells in immune checkpoint blockade via measures of cell proliferation, co-inhibitory receptor expression on CD8 T cells, T cell repertoire, and epigenetic programming.

Detailed Description

      This is a Phase 2 study using a traditional Simon two-stage design. Patients 12 years or
      greater with recurrent/refractory osteosarcoma will be administered avelumab at a dose of 10
      mg/kg intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15 of each cycle, with a cycle lasting
      28 days.

      Patients will receive avelumab every 2 weeks in cycles of 28 days for up to 24 months, or 26
      cycles. Progression free survival and response to therapy after 4 cycles of treatment will be
      assessed. In addition, the toxicity profile of avelumab in this population will be closely
      monitored.

Maximum Eligible Age:49 Years
Minimum Eligible Age:12 Years
Eligible Gender:All
Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Response rate
Time Frame:At the end of 4 cycles of avelumab (approximately 4 months after last participant enrollment)
Safety Issue:
Description:The study is designed by treating RECIST response [complete response + partial response (CR+PR)] after 4-cycle treatment of avelumab and the 16-week progression-free survival (PFS) as dual binary endpoints. Patients who fail to be evaluated at the end of the 4-cycle will be counted as failure.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Target toxicities
Time Frame:At the end of treatment (up to 2 years after enrollment of last participant)
Safety Issue:
Description:Target toxicities for avelumab treatment are defined as any grade 3-5 dyspnea, infusion-related reactions, or immune related adverse events at least possibly attributable to the agent observed anytime during the 26-cycle treatment period that a patient is on study (including the period between off treatment and off study).
