A Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study of OMP-21M18 in Subjects With Solid Tumors
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc., October 2008
First Received: August 29, 2008 Last Updated: October 3, 2008 History of Changes
Sponsored by: OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Information provided by: OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00744562
Purpose This is an open-label Phase 1 dose escalation study of OMP-21M18 in subjects with previously treated solid tumors for which there is no remaining standard curative therapy and no therapy with a demonstrated survival benefit. Up to 30 subjects will be enrolled at up to 4 centers. Subjects will be assessed for safety, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics, biomarkers, and efficacy. No formal interim analyses will be performed. Prior to enrollment, subjects will undergo screening to determine study eligibility. Upon enrollment, subjects will receive weekly intravenous (IV) infusions of OMP-21M18 for 9 weeks. After 9 weeks of treatment, subjects will be assessed for disease status. If there is no evidence of disease progression or if the tumor is smaller, then subjects may continue to receive IV infusions of OMP-21M18 every other week until disease progression.

Phase I/II Study of MK-0752 Followed by Docetaxel in Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by University of Michigan Cancer Center, August 2008
First Received: March 24, 2008 Last Updated: August 8, 2008 History of Changes
Sponsored by: University of Michigan Cancer Center
Information provided by: University of Michigan Cancer Center ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00645333
Purpose New and better therapies for locally advanced and metastatic breast cancer are needed because, even if standard treatment is successful in shrinking the cancer, there is still a high chance that the cancer will recur. Recent research suggests that breast tumors have a small number of cells in them that are "breast cancer stem cells", which are very resistant to standard treatment. It is thought that the reason that many patients cannot be cured of their breast cancers is that the stem cells are unable to be killed and remain in the body after standard treatment. Laboratory research has shown that a new drug, MK-0752, can target stem cells and prevent tumor recurrences when the drug is combined with docetaxel, a chemotherapy drug commonly used to treat breast cancer.
We know that MK-0752 is safe when given by itself to people.
We do not know if treatment with MK-0752 and docetaxel combined is safe or if it will kill "breast cancer stem cells" in people with breast cancer. This clinical trial is being done to determine the safety of several doses of MK-0752 in combination with docetaxel. Preliminary data about the effectiveness of MK-0752 in combination with docetaxel will be collected. Also, tumor biopsy samples will be taken from some patients who have tumors that can be easily biopsied. The samples will be used to perform research tests to help determine if the "breast cancer stem cells" are being killed by the drug combination.
