Clinical trial NCT00635778
Conditions: Advanced Solid Tumors
Sponsor: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Start date: 2006-08-07; Completion date: 2008-11-05
Enrollment: 50 participants; Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED; Intervention model: PARALLEL

Brief summary:
The study determined the recommended Phase 2 loading and maintenance doses and dose schedules for administering dalotuzumab using dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) observed during the entire treatment period (Up to 18 months). The primary hypothesis of the study was that administration of dalotuzumab as an every other week infusion in participants with relapsed or refractory locally advanced or metastatic cancers associated with a high frequency of insulin-like growth factor receptor type 1(IGF-1R) overexpression will be generally safe and well tolerated to permit further study and achieve a constant clearance and a minimum trough concentration of 3 µg/mL.

Detailed description:
The study consisted of 3 parts. In Part 1 the loading dose was escalated while the maintenance dose was kept constant. In Part 2 the loading dose was kept constant while the maintenance dose was escalated. In Part 3 the recommended phase 2 loading and maintenance doses and schedule were administered to an expanded cohort to explore safety and efficacy of dalotuzumab.

Arms: arm 1: Participants received a loading dose of dalotuzumab 2.5 mg/kg administered by intravenous (IV) infusion. Two weeks following completion of the loading dose, participants received a maintenance dose of dalotuzumab 2.5 mg/kg administered by IV infusion every two weeks for up to 18 months. arm 2: Participants received a loading dose of dalotuzumab 5.0 mg/kg administered by IV infusion. Two weeks following completion of the loading dose, participants received a maintenance dose of dalotuzumab 5.0 mg/kg administered by IV infusion every two weeks for up to 18 months. arm 3: Participants received a loading dose of dalotuzumab 10.0 mg/kg administered by IV infusion. Two weeks following completion of the loading dose, participants received a maintenance dose of dalotuzumab 5.0 mg/kg administered by IV infusion every two weeks for up to 18 months. arm 4: Participants received a loading dose of dalotuzumab 15.0 mg/kg administered by IV infusion. Two weeks following completion of the loading dose, participants received a maintenance dose of dalotuzumab 5.0 mg/kg administered by IV infusion every two weeks for up to 18 months. arm 5: Participants received a loading dose of dalotuzumab 20.0 mg/kg administered by IV infusion. Two weeks following completion of the loading dose, participants received a maintenance dose of dalotuzumab 5.0 mg/kg administered by IV infusion every two weeks for up to 18 months. arm 6: Participants received a loading dose of dalotuzumab 15.0 mg/kg administered by IV infusion. Two weeks following completion of the loading dose, participants received a maintenance dose of dalotuzumab 10.0 mg/kg administered by IV infusion every two weeks for up to 18 months. arm 7: Participants received a loading dose of dalotuzumab 15.0 mg/kg administered by IV infusion. Two weeks following completion of the loading dose, participants received a maintenance dose of dalotuzumab 15.0 mg/kg administered by IV infusion every two weeks for up to 18 months.
Interventions: intervention 1: dalotuzumab
