Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TRC105 in patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma after prior antiangiogenic therapy (including anti-VEGF therapy)

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Angiogenesis plays a central role in the progression of solid cancer. TRC105 is an antibody to CD105, an important non-VEGF angiogenic target on proliferating endothelial cells. TRC105 inhibits angiogenesis, tumor growth and metastases in preclinical models. TRC105 has been well tolerated in patients with glioblastoma (GBM) as a single agent. The combination of TRC105 in combination with bevacizumab has demonstrated activity in bevacizumab refractory cancer patients. We hypothesize that TRC105 when administered with bevacizumab will have activity in GBM patients who progress on bevacizumab. By targeting a non-VEGF pathway, TRC105 has the potential to complement VEGF inhibition by bevacizumab, which could represent a major advance in GBM therapy.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

A total of 6 initial patients were treated with 10 mg/kg of TRC105 monotherapy. All patients progressed within 2 months of initiating treatment, reflecting the rapid progression. Due to the lack of activity in this disease setting with TRC105 alone, the study was amended to treat patients with 10 mg/kg TRC105 weekly in combination with 10 mg/kg bevacizumab every two weeks.
