RATIONALE: Intravenous VEGF Trap may stop the growth of solid tumors or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma by stopping blood flow to the cancer.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of VEGF Trap in treating patients with relapsed or refractory advanced solid tumors or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Cancer | Biological: ziv-aflibercept | Phase 1 |
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the safety and tolerability of intravenous VEGF Trap in patients with relapsed or refractory advanced solid tumors or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Secondary
- Determine the steady-state pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.
- Determine the ability of this drug to bind circulating vascular endothelial growth factor in these patients.
- Determine whether antibodies to this drug develop in these patients.
- Determine, preliminarily, the ability of repeated doses of this drug to alter tumor growth and vascular permeability in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter, extension study.
Patients receive VEGF Trap* IV over 1 hour on day 1. Courses repeat every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
NOTE: *Patients receive the same drug dose that they received in MSKCC-03137 (VGFT-ST-0202)
Patients are followed monthly for 3 months.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 25 patients will be accrued for this study within 3-6 months.
