Brief Summary:

This is a study of drug KB004 in patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). Eligible patients with measurable tumours will receive an initial trace (5mg) dose of zirconium labelled KB004 (89ZrKB004) on day 1 followed by sequential Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging over 1 week to determine its biodistribution into GBM and normal tissues. Safety assessments and pharmacokinetic (movement of drug) sampling will also be undertaken over this time. On Day 8, patients commence weekly KB004 infusions over 2 hours with standard premedications. Three cohorts are planned in this study (3.5mg/kg, 5.25 mg/kg, 7.9 mg/kg; additional dose levels may be explored based on toxicity, efficacy and biodistribution data as determined by the safety monitoring committee). On day 36, patients receive both 89ZrKB004 and KB004, allowing assessment of receptor occupancy to guide recommended phase two dose (RPTD) determination. Response rate (RANO) and survival data will be collected and patients benefiting may continue KB004 treatment until disease progression. Primary objective: to determine the toxicity and recommended phase two dose (RPTD) of KB004 in patients with advanced Glioblastoma (GBM).

Secondary objectives: to determine the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of 89ZrKB004; to determine frequency of EphA3 (ephrin receptor A3) positive glioblastoma in archival specimens and by 89ZrKB004 scans, and correlate with known biomarkers; to describe response rates per RANO criteria (Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Criteria) and pharmacodynamics following KB004 infusion; Exploratory objectives: to perform exploratory analysis between clinical outcomes and biodistribution/Pharmacokinetics (PK)/pharmacodynamics (PD) data, including from matched biopsies.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: KB004 dose escalation
Patients will be entered at each KB004 dose level sequentially until 3-6 patients are evaluable for safety. Three sequential cohorts are planned in this study (3.5mg/kg, 5.25 mg/kg, 7.9 mg/kg) Additional dose levels may be explored based on the emerging data in the study.
 Drug: KB004
KB004 is a recombinant, non-fucosylated, IgG1κ (human f-allotype) monoclonal antibody targeting the extracellular ligand binding domain of the EphA3 (ephrin receptor) tyrosine kinase


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. Number of Participants With KB004 Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed using CTCAE v4.0. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). [ Time Frame: 0-24 months ]

    Three patients are recruited per dose level, 3 dose levels. Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) defined as Grade 4 neutropenia > 7 day duration Grade 3 or 4 febrile neutropenia Grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia > 7 day duration Grade 4 anaemia > 7 day duration Grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic adverse events which do not resolve within 48 hours with maximal supportive care.

    Grade 4 or recurrent Grade 3 infusion reactions despite maximal supportive care and dose reductions Significant intracranial haemorrhage not reasonably attributed to other cause More than 14 days of treatment delay due to attributable toxicity Other toxicities as determined by the investigators. In the absence of any dose limiting toxicity in a cohort, escalate to the next dose level. If one DLT is seen in the first three patients of a cohort, an additional three patients will be recruited to that cohort. If two or more DLT's are seen in any cohort, that cohort will be deemed the maximum tolerated dose.



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Biodistribution of 89Zr-KB004 [ Time Frame: 0-24 months ]
    Eligible patients with measurable tumours will receive an initial trace (5mg) dose of zirconium labelled KB004 (89Zr-KB004) on day 1 followed by sequential Positron emission tomography, or PET imaging over 1 week to determine its biodistribution into GBM and normal tissues, frequency of EphA3 (ephrin type-A receptor 3) expression in glioblastoma (GBM) and quantitative tumor antibody uptake.

  2. Response rates following KB004 infusion [ Time Frame: 0-24 months ]
    Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology criteria will be used to interpret MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans

  3. Plasma concentration versus time (Serum half life) of 89Zr-KB004 [ Time Frame: 0-43 days ]
    Pharmacokinetics (plasma concentration versus time) of 89Zr-KB004 will be determined using gamma well counting of the Zirconium in the samples at various timepoints-Day 1 89Zr-KB004 infusion: pre-infusion, 5min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 24 hours post infusion, then Day 3 or 4, 6 or 7. PK (Pharmacokinetics) timepoints Day 89Zr-KB004 infusion: pre-infusion, 5min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 24 hours post infusion then Day 39 or 40 and Day 42 or 43.

  4. Cmax of 89Zr-KB004 [ Time Frame: 0-43 days ]
    Pharmacokinetics (Cmax) of 89Zr-KB004 will be determined using gamma well counting of the Zirconium in the samples at various timepoints-Day 1 89Zr-KB004 infusion: pre-infusion, 5min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 24 hours post infusion, then Day 3 or 4, 6 or 7. PK (Pharmacokinetics) timepoints Day 89Zr-KB004 infusion: pre-infusion, 5min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 24 hours post infusion then Day 39 or 40 and Day 42 or 43.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. clinical outcomes via RANO criteria (Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Criteria) [ Time Frame: 0-24 Months ]
    describe response rates using Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Criteria to interpret MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans

  2. Biodistribution via PET (Positron-emission tomography) [ Time Frame: 0-43 days ]
    89Zr-KB004 Positron emission tomography imaging will be used
