Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a Phase I, open-label study of the safety and biodistribution of two escalating doses of PEG-AVP0458, labelled with 3-5 mCi of 124I for PET imaging.
This is the first study of PEG-AVP0458 in humans. The ultimate purpose of this research is to find better ways to detect and treat prostate and ovarian cancers. The product under investigation, PEG-AVP0458, has been designed to attach to a specific protein called TAG-72, which is found on the surface of some types of cancer cells however it is not a treatment for cancer. The aims of this study are to determine the safety of PEG-AVP0458 at the doses studied, and to demonstrate that PEG-AVP0458 can attach to the TAG-72 protein on prostate and ovarian cancer cells in humans. PEG-AVP0458 will be combined with a low dose radioactive iodine particle by a process called radiolabelling, and injected. The radiolabel acts as a tracer, which means that it can be detected in tissue by a special scanning system called a PET scan.
124I-PEG-AVP0458 is to be administered to patients by slow intravenous infusion over an hour, with safety monitoring during and for 4 hours post infusion. PET imaging will be performed post infusion of 124I-PEG-AVP0458 on Day 0, and on a further 4 occasions over a one week period.
The first three patients entered into this study will receive 1 mg/m2 of PEG-AVP0458 (the first dose level). If no patients entered in the 1st dose group experience a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) then the next dose group may commence 30 days after the last patient on the previous dose group has received the 124I-PEG-AVP0458 infusion. If any one patient experiences a DLT, then 3 additional patients will be entered in the 1 mg/m2 dose group.
After completion of accrual into the first cohort (1 mg/m2 dose), a Trial Management Committee will review the safety data from these participants before a decision is made to escalate the dose to 10 mg/m2.
The second dose group of three patients will receive 10 mg/m2 (second dose level), and the amount of 124I radioactivity is kept constant at 3-5 mCi. If any one patient experiences a DLT, then 3 additional patients will be entered in the 10 mg/m2 dose group.
The last dose group of three patients will receive either 1 mg/m2 or 10 mg/m2. The dose will be determined by the Trial Management Committee following an interim analysis of safety data and the quality of imaging results obtained in the dose-escalation part of the study.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 287553 0
The primary objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety of a single dose of 124I-PEG-AVP0458 in patients with prostate and ovarian cancer.
Safety of 124I-PEG-AVP0458 will be determined by the ongoing monitoring of the incidence and intensity of adverse events graded using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (AE), with special emphasis on DLT events and infusional toxicities. A copy of CTCAE v4.0 may be downloaded from the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program home page.
A DLT is defined as any of the following events occurring within 30 days of study drug administration:
-Any Grade 2 or greater allergic reaction.
-Any Grade 3 toxicity. Exceptions are: fever; asymptomatic hyperglycemia; hypophosphatemia; nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea despite the use of optimal supportive medical therapy; leukopenia or thrombocytopenia that revert to baseline within three weeks of occurrence; lymphopenia without other dose-limiting events (eg opportunistic infection).
-Any Grade 4 toxicity.
To be dose-limiting, a toxicity must be possibly, probably, or definitely related to the administration of 124I-PEG-AVP0458.
Safety monitoring includes vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, respiration, temperature), physical examination, 12 lead ECG, and blood tests.
There are no anticipated severe adverse events associated with the administration of the investigational product, which will be given as a one dose infusion.

Until 28 days following the end of treatment exposure
Secondary outcome [1] 298374 0
There are three secondary objectives for this study. The first is to evaluate biodistribution, including tumour targeting, of 124I-PEG-AVP0458 in patients with prostate and ovarian cancer.
Timepoint [1] 298374 0
To evaluate biodistribution, PET/CT whole body imaging will be performed at the following 5 time-points upon administration of 124I-PEG-AVP0458: Day 0 (approximately 1 hour after infusion), day 1, day 2 or 3, day 4 or 5, and day 6 or 7.
Secondary outcome [2] 298473 0
Pharmacokinetics will also be evaluated in this study, measuring both administered radioactivity and the PEG-AVP0458 protein.
Timepoint [2] 298473 0
To evaluate the way the drug is moved around the body, blood samples will be taken to measure radioactivity on days 1, 2 or 3, 4 or 5, 6 or 7 and 14 (plus or minus 2), and days 1, 2 or 3, 4 or 5, 6 or 7 and 14 (plus or minus 2), 21 (plus or minus 2), and 28 (plus or minus two) to measure the PEG-AVP0458 protein.
Secondary outcome [3] 298474 0
Immunogenicity of the investigational agent will also be examined.
Timepoint [3] 298474 0
To evaluate the way the immune system responds to the drug, blood samples will be drawn on Day 0, day 6 or 7, day 14 (plus or minus 2), day 21 (plus or minus 2), and day 28 (plus or minus 2).

Allocation to intervention
Non-randomised trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Eligible patients with ovarian or prostate cancer will be entered into the first dose group, receiving 1 mg/m2 124I-PEG-AVP0458. Three patients will be entered into the first dose group.
If no patients entered in the 1st dose group experience a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), then an additional three patients may enter the second dose group (10 mg/m2 124I-PEG-AVP0458) 30 days after the last patient on the previous dose group has received the 124I-PEG-AVP0458 infusion.
If any one patient in either cohort of 3 patients experiences a DLT, then 3 additional patients will be entered in that dose group.
If additional patients are treated in the first dose group, all patients entered must have been observed for 30 days before a new patient may receive an infusion in the second dose group. If greater than or equal to two DLTs are observed at a dose, then the maximum tolerated dose is considered to have been exceeded.
In the event 2 or more patients experience DLT at the first dose level, an additional 3 patients will be entered at a 0.5mg/m2 dose level

Summary
Brief summary
This is a Phase I, open-label study of the safety and biodistribution of two escalating doses of PEG-AVP0458, labeled with 3-5 mCi of 124I for PET imaging. This is the first study of PEG-AVP0458 in humans. PEG-AVP0458 is an experimental molecule, meaning that it is not approved for use in Australia or other parts of the world outside of this trial. The ultimate purpose of this research is to find better ways to detect and treat prostate and ovarian cancers. The product under investigation, PEG-AVP0458, has been designed to attach to a specific protein called TAG-72, which is found on the surface of some types of cancer cells however it is not a treatment for cancer. The aims of this study are to determine the safety of PEG-AVP0458 at the doses studied, and to demonstrate that PEG-AVP0458 can attach to the TAG-72 protein on prostate and ovarian cancer cells in humans. To enter the study patients with prostate or ovarian cancer need to screen as positive for TAG-72 and have disease deemed likely to be assessable by PET scan. An ECOG performance status of 0-1 and an expected survival of at least 3 months are also requirements for study entry. At screening participants must be of at least 18 years of age, provide informed consent to participate and show appropriate blood parameters. Patients with ovarian or prostate cancer are ineligible to participate if any of the exclusion criteria noted in the exclusion criteria section above. Trial Details PEG-AVP0458 will be combined with a low dose radioactive iodine particle by a process called radiolabelling, and injected. The radiolabel acts as a tracer, which means that it can be detected in tissue by a special scanning system called a PET scan. This study is designed to assess the safety and targeting ability of PEG-AVP0458, and no direct therapeutic benefit from the infusion of PEG-AVP0458 is anticipated. The first group of 3 participants enrolled will be allocated to the 1mg/m2 dose group. If any Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) are seen for these 3 participants, the second group of 3 participants will also receive 1mg/m2. If no DLTs are seen in the first group of 3, the second group of 3 participants will receive the 10mg/m2 dose. If any DLTs are seen for these 3 participants, the third group of 3 participants will also receive 10mg/m2. If no DLTs are seen in the second group of 3, the third group of 3 participants (alongside a further 3 participants, total of 6) will receive either the 1mg/m2 or 10mg/m2 dose level, as determined by the outcome of the interim analysis.
