a phase i study of lintuzumab-ac225 in patients with refractory multiple myeloma

Conditions: Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Summary: 1. establish the mtd of lintuzumab-ac225 as monotherapy 2. establish overall response rate (orr) where orr = cr + scr+ vgpr+pr) 3. confirm the safety profile of the treatment regimen 4. estimate progression-free survival (pfs) and overall survival

the study is a multicenter, open label phase i trial. phase 1, dose-escalation : this study uses a 3+3 design to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (mtd). there will be 3 escalating dose levels in the trial (0.5 μci/kg, 1 μci/kg, and 1.5 μci/kg). each dose can be administered in up to 3-8 cycles providing that the total dose received per patient does not exceed 4.5 μci/kg. de-escalation (decrease dose level to 0.25 μci/kg) is planned if at the first dose level of 0.5 μci/kg, after expanding the cohort to a maximum of 6 patients, ≥2 patient have dlts. at the dose level of 0.25 μci/kg, if eligible to continue receiving additional doses of the study drug, patients will receive up to 8 doses in total, with the total administered activity being 2 μci/kg. the starting dose level will be 0.5 μci/kg of 225ac-lintuzumab administered on day 1 of each cycle. if this dose level is safe, the second dose level of 1 μci/kg will be explored. if the starting dose level results in dlts in ≥2 patients, the dose level of 0.25 μci/kg will be explored. subjects will receive the investigational drug as a single infusion at the prescribed dose level. intra cohort dose escalation/ decrease is not allowed. minimum three to maximum six patients will be treated at each dose level, and dose escalation will proceed as follows: 1. rules for dose escalation are: 1. if 0 of 3 patients have a dlt, escalate to the next dose level (unless enrolling patients at the 0.25 µci/kg dose level) 2. if 1 of 3 patients has a dlt, expand the cohort to 6 patients 3. if ≤1 of 6 patients has a dlt, escalate to the next dose level (unless enrolling patients at the 0.25 µci/kg dose level) 4. if ≥2 of 3 or ≥2 of 6 patients have a dlt, then the previous dose is the mtd (unless enrolling patients at the 0.25 µci/kg level, in which case the trial is terminated) 5. three patients will start at the 0.50 uci/kg dose. the next dose level will be 1.0 µci/kg and the final dose level will be 1.5 µci/kg. dose de-escalation to 0.25 µci/kg will occur if, at the 0.5 µci/kg dose, there are ≥2 of 3 or ≥2 of 6 patients with a dlt. 2. if a patient has not progressed nor had cr by the end of a cycle, the patient can continue treatment for a maximum of three (1.5 µci/kg), four (1.0 µci/kg), or eight cycles (0.25 µci/kg and 0.50 µci/kg). all patients may receive gcsf support starting on day 9 if clinically indicated and continuing until anc\>1,000. after the dose escalation portion is completed, treat 3 additional patients at the highest established dose level to confirm mtd and establish that dose level as mtd.

Eligibility criteria:
