Brief Summary:
This dose-escalating phase I trial assesses for the first time the safety, the side effects and the harmlessness, as well as the therapeutical benefit of the new study drug GEM3PSCA in patients with prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) expressing cancer types which failed to respond to standard therapy.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) [ Time Frame: End of Treatment (EOT) +14 days (DLT period) ]
    MTD is the previous dose level of the cohort where a DLT is observed in at least wo subjects.

  2. Incidence and intensity of adverse events [ Time Frame: End of Treatment (EOT) +14 days (DLT period) ]
    graded according to CTCAE V4.03

  3. Incidence of Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) [ Time Frame: End of Treatment (EOT) +14 days (DLT period) ]
    Dose Limiting Toxicity is defined as any event at least possibly related to investigational medicinal product (IMP)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) [ Time Frame: From start of treatment until up to 14 days after last treatment cycle (2 initial cycles + max. 6 additional cycles per patient). Each cycle consists of 7 days treatment plus DLT evaluation period (14 days) ]
    The RP2D will be determined based on MTD, all available efficacy data, and all available safety data, including information derived from additional treatment cycles.

  2. Antitumor activity of GEM3PSCA according to RECIST1.1 (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) [ Time Frame: End of Treatment (EOT) +14 days (DLT period) ]
    response rates

  3. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) response in patients with prostate cancer [ Time Frame: End of Treatment (EOT) +14 days (DLT period) ]
  4. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: End of Treatment (EOT) + 14 days (DLT period) ]
  5. Influence on circulating tumor cells in patients with prostate cancer [ Time Frame: Day 8 / End of Treatment (EOT) ]
