    P2.06-027 - Randomized Phase II Study of Anetumab Ravtansine or Vinorelbine in Patients with Metastatic Pleural Mesothelioma (ID 5671)

    • Abstract

    Background:
    Mesothelioma is a rare but aggressive cancer with a poor prognosis. Mesothelin is a cell surface protein that is highly expressed in mesothelioma and other epithelial cancers. Anetumab ravtansine (BAY 94-9343), a novel fully human anti-mesothelin IgG1 antibody conjugated to the maytansinoid tubulin inhibitor DM4, has shown encouraging efficacy in mesothelioma patients in a phase I study. To further explore the possible benefit of antibody-drug conjugate therapy for mesothelioma, we initiated a randomized, open-label, active-controlled, phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anetumab ravtansine in patients with metastatic pleural mesothelioma (MPM) overexpressing mesothelin and who have previously progressed on platinum/pemetrexed-based first-line chemotherapy (NCT02610140).
    
    Methods:
    Patients (≥18 years) with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic MPM are eligible. Patients should have recurrent or relapsing disease after having previously receiving first-line treatment with pemetrexed-based chemotherapy, with or without bevacizumab. Obligatory biomarker sampling will be performed on all patients at pre-screening and mesothelin-positivity as determined by Ventana MSLN (SP74) companion diagnostic assay as a requirement for entry. The primary objective is to test the superiority of anetumab ravtansine monotherapy over vinorelbine in progression-free survival (PFS) per modified RECIST criteria for MPM per central review. The secondary objectives of this study include overall survival, patient-reported outcomes (PRO), tumor response, and safety. Exploratory objectives include immunogenicity of anetumab ravtansine, pharmacokinetics, and biomarkers of response. Approximately 210 patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive anetumab ravtansine 6.5 mg/kg Q3W or vinorelbine 30 mg/m[2] QW. Novel study methods include a grading system for AEs of special interest and the PRO instruments.
    
    Results:
    This trial is open and currently accruing patients globally.
