E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The incidence rate of DLTs duringin the DLT observation period (cycle 1) at each 2B3-101 dose level is based on predefined safety parameters in order to and will determine the MTD of 2B3-101 as single agent and in combination with trastuzumab, respectively. These safety parameters are: Adverse drug reactions (ADR) and serious ADRs, changes in hematology and chemistry values, including those associated with hepatic and renal function, and assessment of physical examinations, vital signs and cardiac function (i.e. repeated electrocardiograms). Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 will be used. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The dose limiting toxicity (DLT) observation period for a dose level will be cycle 1 (day 1 to day 21). |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
- Pharmacokinetics of 2B3-101 as single agent in plasma; Cmax, Vss, T1/2, AUC, CL;
- Pharmacokinetics of 2B3-101 when combined with trastuzumab in plasma; Cmax, Vss, T1/2, AUC, CL;
- Preliminary efficacy: Antitumor effects of 2B3-101 as single agent and when combined with trastuzumab according to RECIST 1.1 (solid tumors) and RANO (malignant gliomas). |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Blood samples will be taken on day 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and 11 of cycle 1 and day 1, 8 and 15 of cycle 2 and on day 1 of cycle 3 and 4 to assess the PK profile during the first 4 cycles.
Preliminary clinical efficacy of 2B3-101 will be measured by CT/MRI-scan on the last day of every even cycle (cycle 2, 4, etc.). A bone scan should only be obtained if clinically indicated and is to be performed as needed during the study if the patient develops symptoms or signs of bone disease. If bone metastases are present at screening, bone scans during treatment should be performed in addition to and at the same time as the CT/MRI-scans. |
