Phase Ii Trial Of Anti-Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (Tgf Beta) Monoclonal Antibody Gc1008 In Relapsed Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (Mpm)

7077 Background: TGFβ is a pleiotropic cytokine overexpressed by MPM. Based on preclinical data documenting a key role for TGFβ in promoting growth and progression of MPM, we are conducting a phase II trial of GC1008 in patients (pts) with progressive MPM. Methods: Pts with progressive MPM by modified RECIST criteria and PS 0-1 with 1-2 prior systemic therapies (at least 1 pemetrexed-based) are eligible. Treatment plan: GC1008 3mg/kg IV over 90 minutes every 21 days. Responses are assessed by modified RECIST every 6 weeks. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 3 months; secondary objectives include safety with GC1008, response rate by modified RECIST, time to progression (TTP), and overall survival (OS). Results: The modified Gehan stage 1 stopping criterion of 1/13 pts with 3 month PFS has been exceeded. To date, 13 pts (10 PS 0; 3 PS 1) with MPM (median age 69; 2F, 11M; 11 epithelial, 1 sarcomatoid, 1 biphasic) enrolled. Treatment-related toxicities include G1/2 fatigue (3 pts)...
