CBL0137 in Treating Patients With Advanced Extremity Melanoma or Sarcoma

NCT03727789

Description:

This phase I trial studies best dose and side effects of CBL0137 in treating patients with extremity melanoma or sarcoma that has spread to other places in the body. Drugs, such as CBL0137, may work by binding to tumor cell deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to stop the cell from growing further.

Purpose

This phase I trial studies best dose and side effects of CBL0137 in treating patients with extremity melanoma or sarcoma that has spread to other places in the body. Drugs, such as CBL0137, may work by binding to tumor cell deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to stop the cell from growing further.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and examine the dose-limiting toxicities of
      intra-arterial facilitates chromatin transcription (FACT) complex-targeting curaxin CBL0137
      (CBL0137) in patients with advanced extremity melanoma or sarcoma.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To assess the tumor response in advanced melanoma and sarcoma patients treated with
      intra-arterial administration of CBL0137.

      II. To define both response in-field (area of the limb distal to the infusion point) and
      out-of-field (any area proximal to the infusion point) in patients treated with CBL0137 based
      intra-arterial infusion.

      III. Assess the pharmacokinetics of CBL0137 in the study population pre-and post CBL0137
      intraarterial infusion.

      IV. Assess tumor protein expression profiles before and after treatment with CBL0137.

      TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To assess if the proposed treatment has any effect on quality of life as measured by the
      Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy ? Melanoma (assessment tool also applicable to
      sarcoma).

      OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of FACT complex-targeting curaxin CBL0137.

      Patients receive FACT complex-targeting curaxin CBL0137 intra-arterially (IA) over 15
      minutes.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 2, 6 and 12 weeks, every 3
      months for 12 months, then at 24 months.
