Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for First-in-man Clinical Trial of CEB-01 PLGA Membrane in Recurrent or Locally Advanced Retroperitoneal Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Study Description

Brief Summary: This is an open label, first-in-man clinical trial to assess safety and tolerability of CEB-01 PLGA membrane in patients with recurrent or locally advanced retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma after surgery. The trial will be conducted in 3 dose-escalation cohorts (3 patients each, enrolling patients one by one, after 4 weeks of observation and agreement of Scientific Committee and DMC) and in an expansion cohort, using the highest safe and tolerable dose. The study will follow a 3+3 modified design; dose escalation will follow a modified Fibonacci method. CEB-01 carrying a SN-38 dose between 9 and 36 mg will be placed in the surgical bed at the time of tumor resection.

Detailed Description: CEB-01 is a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) polymeric drug with a delivery system loaded with SN-38, and will be placed in the surgical bed at the time of tumor resection. CEB-01 carrying a SN-38 dose between 9 and 36 mg will be administered. CEB-01 will be placed on all surfaces that were in contact with and/or were infiltrated by the tumor. Confirmatory central reviewing of diagnosis will be performed for all patients, using tumor samples obtained during surgery; additionally, patients will also be included according to local Pathological Anatomy (PA) diagnosis. Patients will be followed-up once every week during the first 8 weeks of the study, and then every 2 weeks up to 12 weeks after implantation of CEB-01. Thereafter, follow-up schedule will be as per normal practice until study completion. Efficacy assessment will be performed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) \[Computed tomography (CT) scan and Positron Emission Tomography (PET-CT) are also allowed\] according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. Baseline image determination will be performed at week 12 (±3 days) after surgery; if the image analysis is not conclusive due to wound healing in the tumor bed, it will be repeated on week 16 (±3 days) post-surgery, and every 12 weeks thereafter. A pharmacokinetic assessment of SN-38 will be performed in all patients, and the Cmax, Tmax, half-life, and area under the time-drug concentration curve (AUC) of the drug will be determined. Blood samples will be collected at baseline and at 8 time points after CEB-01 implantation. Assessment of adverse events, safety, and toxicity will be performed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE - version 5.0) at each patient visit from the time of Informed Consent until the end of the study. Quality of Life based on EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ) 30 will be measured prior surgery, at month 1 and month 3.
