Safety Study of Pritumumab in Brain Cancer (NCT04396717) | Clinical Trial Compass
CompletedPhase 1
Safety Study of Pritumumab in Brain Cancer
United States15 participantsStarted 2021-02-22
Plain-language summary
Pritumumab is a human IgG1 kappa antibody that binds to a malignant tumor associated antigen, ecto domain-vimentin (EDV) which is expressed in a variety of tumor cells. Pritumumab was shown to have relatively high reactivity with brain cancer cell lines, while no reactivity was demonstrated with normal neurons, astrocytes or fetal cerebral cells. Pritumumab has notable antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), brain tumor penetration and antitumor activity in nude mouse human xenograft models.
Primary Objectives
\- To determine the safety and/or tolerability and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of escalating, intravenously (IV) administered Pritumumab doses in patients with recurrent gliomas or with brain metastases.
Secondary Objectives
* To determine pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Pritumumab
* To identify preliminary signals of anti-tumor response to Pritumumab
* To explore disease-related, patient-reported outcomes

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion criteria
. Ability to understand and the willingness to provide informed consent.
. Diagnosis
. Prior Therapy Has failed prior standard therapy including maximal safe surgical resection, radiation therapy (when appropriate for the specific cancer type), or systemic therapy or is intolerant of, or has refused other available therapies, but is still in need of therapy. No patients may receive Pritumumab prior to any surgery for their cerebral tumor
. Progression/Recurrence Has progression of brain cancer and measurable disease by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan.
. Age Age ≥ 18 years.
. Performance Status Karnofsky Performance Status ≥ 60% (see Appendix A). Subjects must have a life expectancy of equal to or greater than 8 weeks.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]
. Contraception All fertile females and any man with a partner of child-bearing potential agrees to use adequate contraception which will include two of the following: hormonal or barrier method of birth control, or abstinence prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 30 days following completion of therapy.
Exclusion criteria
. Current or anticipated use of other investigational agents.
. Insufficient time for recovery from prior therapy:
. Less than 3 weeks from surgery or insufficient recovery from surgical-related trauma or wound healing.
. History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to Pritumumab plus any patently atopic patients who have a history of having experienced an episode of allergic anaphylaxis.
. Severe or uncontrolled medical disorder that would, in the investigator's opinion, impair ability to receive study treatment (i.e., uncontrolled diabetes, chronic renal disease, chronic pulmonary disease or active, uncontrolled infection).
. Known diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
. Impaired cardiac function including any of the following:
. Any female patients who develop serious uterine hemorrhage during this study may need to be excluded from further treatment with Pritumumab.
