NGR015: Study in Second Line for Patient With Advanced Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Pretreated With Pemetrexed

NGR015: Randomized Double-blind Phase III Study of NGR-hTNF Plus Best Investigator's Choice (BIC) Versus Placebo Plus BIC in Previously Treated Patients With Advanced Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM)

Summary

The main objective of the trial is to document the efficacy of NGR-hTNF administered at low dose weekly in advanced Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma patients previously treated with a pemetrexed-based chemotherapy regimen.

Detailed description

Currently, there are no regulatory-approved or widely accepted treatment options for patients failing a standard pemetrexed-based chemotherapy regimen. For this reason, the best supportive care (BSC) alone might be considered as a standard reference for a randomized phase III trial in this setting. However, single-agent chemotherapeutic agents (such as doxorubicin,gemcitabine, or vinorelbine) with a well-documented safety profile and antitumor activity are also used in clinical practice. Therefore, the best investigator's choice (BIC) between either best supportive care alone or combined with a few selected single-agent chemotherapy (including doxorubicin, gemcitabine, or vinorelbine) might be considered as an acceptable reference arm as well in this setting. The current phase III study aims to show a superior efficacy in terms of overall survival duration of NGR-hTNF 0.8 µg/mq weekly plus BIC versus placebo plus BIC in advanced MPM patients progressing after a standard pemetrexed-based chemotherapy.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	NGR-hTNF plus Best Investigator's Choice (BIC)	* NGR-hTNF: 0.8 mcg/m² as 60-minute intravenous infusion every week until confirmed evidence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. * Best Supportive Care: antibiotics, analgesics, antiemetics, thoracentesis, pleurodesis, blood transfusions, nutritional support, and focal external-beam radiation for control of pain, cough, dyspnea, or hemoptysis * Investigator's Choice: one of the following single-agent chemotherapy might be administered in combination: 1. Doxorubicin: 60-75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks, for a maximum of 6 cycles 2. Gemcitabine: 1,000-1,250 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8, every 3 weeks, for a maximum of 6 cycles 3. Vinorelbine: 25 mg/m2 iv (or 60 mg/m2 per os) on days 1 and 8, every 3 weeks, for a maximum of 6 cycles (or weekly for 12 weeks)
DRUG	Placebo plus Best Investigator's Choice (BIC)	* Placebo: 0.8 mcg/m² as 60-minute intravenous infusion every week until confirmed evidence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. * Best Supportive Care: antibiotics, analgesics, antiemetics, thoracentesis, pleurodesis, blood transfusions, nutritional support, and focal external-beam radiation for control of pain, cough, dyspnea, or hemoptysis * Investigator's Choice: one of the following single-agent chemotherapy might be administered in combination: 1. Doxorubicin: 60-75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks, for a maximum of 6 cycles 2. Gemcitabine: 1,000-1,250 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8, every 3 weeks, for a maximum of 6 cycles 3.
