CLINICAL TRIALS OVERVIEW
Clinical studies (often also commonly referred to as clinical trials or clinical research) can have many different objectives, depending on the specific study. Such objectives may include, for example, developing new treatments, identifying causes of a disease or condition, studying trends, and evaluating ways in which genetics may be related to a disease or condition.
Typically, a new therapy or procedure is first tested in the laboratory and in animal studies, and, if the results merit further investigation, it is then moved into a clinical trial (ie., tested in humans). The clinical trial testing is conducted in phases (generally Phase 1, 2, and 3, each of which is briefly explained below). Depending on the particular phase, clinical trials are designed to obtain more detailed information about the investigational therapy, including its safety profile, risks, and effectiveness.
Sometimes a patient decides to participate in a clinical trial because none of the treatments otherwise available have worked, or they find them to have side effects that are not tolerable. In this way, clinical trials can sometimes provide another option when standard therapies have failed. Other patients participate in a clinical trial because they want to contribute to the advancement of medical knowledge. Often, an individual that decides to participate in a clinical trial does so with both goals in mind.
The study of an investigational drug in humans proceeds in phases, with the information learned from each phase used to build upon the next: generally Phase 1, 2, and 3.
Clinical trials – particularly for new cancer therapies – are sometimes collapsed. In other words, some researchers design these trials to combine to phases into a single study protocol (e.g., Phase 1/2, or Phase 2/3). The reason for this type of design is to help facilitate a more seamless transition between phases, potentially allowing research questions to be answered more quickly or with fewer patients.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) provides the following examples of benefits and risks of participating in a clinical trial that should be considered in deciding whether a clinical trial may be right for you:
Potential Benefits: may include having access to a new therapy that is not otherwise available; close monitoring by the clinical research team; being among the first to benefit from a therapy that is determined to be more effective than the standard treatment; and helping researchers learn more about your type of cancer; and benefitting the larger patient population in the future.
Potential Risks: may include the investigational treatment may be inferior to the standard treatment, or may not work for the individual patient at all; there may be unanticipated side effects or worse side effects than the standard treatment; increased doctors visits and associated expenses, including travel and logistical support; extra tests may be required that may be both time-consuming and uncomfortable; and a patient’s health insurance may not cover all patient costs in a clinical trial.
For additional information, see NIH's Clinical Trials Information for Patients and Caregivers and our helpful links page under Clinical Trials
A phase 1 study is early testing in humans. Its purpose is to determine dosing, safety and tolerance of an investigational drug and to gather information about its biological activity within the body.
Once an acceptable margin of safety is established for the investigational drug, Phase 2 begins. A Phase 2 study is generally the first study in which primary measurements will be made to determine efficacy of the investigational drug. In terms of the a study’s objectives, though, the line between a Phase 1 and Phase 2 study can sometimes be somewhat blurred, particularly in the case of oncology trials where there is a small study population and interest in expediting development process while appropriately safeguarding patient safety.
A Phase 3 study is a large, pivotal safety and effectiveness trial. Information gathered during this stage includes additional evidence of safety and efficacy, long-term tolerance, drug interactions, etc.
CURRENT CLINICAL TRIALS
The compilation of clinical-trial information provided is organized as follows: (1) the name of the clinical trial, and the study identifier and link to the clinicaltrials.gov registry providing more detailed information; (2) a brief summary of the protocol/objectives of the trial, (3) key baseline eligibility criteria, and (4) study contact information. Please note that the eligibility criteria for any given clinical trial are typically extensive, and thus not detailed in the list of clinical trials provided here. All of the inclusion and exclusion criteria can be accessed, however, through the clinicaltrials.gov link provided for that particular trial and should be discussed further with your physician and/or the contact person listed for that clinical trial. Examples of common eligibility for a clinical study of a new investigational cancer drug include (a) having a specific type or stage of cancer; (b) having received or not received a certain kind of prior therapy; (c) having specific genetic changes in your tumor; (d) medical history; and (e) current health status.
Each clinical trial is assigned a specific identifier; the identifier is referred to formally as the NCT number in the U.S. and is the registry number as provided in the listing for that trial at ClinicalTrials.gov. The NCT number and the corresponding link to the full listing on ClinicalTrials.gov is provided for each clinical trial listed here where applicable.
The following is a list of current clinical trials but may be of interest to AC/PMP patients. This list is organized by (1) phase of trial, and then (2) within each phase, the type of trial (i.e., (A) Appendix Cancer-Specific; (B) Tumor Agnostic; and (C) Unspecified Solid Tumor). For your additional information, each of these types of trials is described briefly below:
Appendix Cancer-Specific:
These trials are focused, at least in part, directly on Appendix Cancer and PMP.
Specific Tumor Mutations/Characteristics:
Specific Tumor Mutations/Characteristics clinical trials focus on the study of what is sometimes referred to as tumor-agnostic treatments. Tumor-agnostic treatments are drugs that are used to treat any type of cancer, regardless of the organ or type of tissue from which the cancer originally developed. Instead of the primary site of tumor origin, a tumor-agnostic treatment focuses on the tumor’s genetic make-up, including specific mutations or biomarkers. In other words, this type of therapy can be used when a person’s tumor has a very specific molecular alteration that is targeted by the drug or predicts that the drug is likely to work.
Unspecified Solid Tumor:
Although some of the trials listed below are so-called tumor-agnostic trials, some of the trials listed below involve solid tumors generally rather than appendix cancer specifically or tumors with specific mutations. We call these trials “other non-specific tumor” clinical trials.
Temporarily Suspended:
Clinical trials that are not enrolling at this time. They are currently suspended, pending the Sponsors' analysis of results from the dose-escalation phase (Part 1) to establish the eligibility criteria for the dose-expansion phase (Part 2). We will try to monitor and update with any changes.
The first group of tumor-agnostic (and other non-specific tumor) trials listed below are Phase 2 trials. The second group of tumor-agnostic listed beneath those are Phase 1/2 trials.
PHASE 1 CLINICAL TRIALS
Appendix Cancer-Specific
A Phase I Trial of Intraperitoneal LSTA1 in Patients Undergoing Cytoreductive Surgery and HIPEC for Peritoneal Surface Malignancy
Location: University of California, San Diego (La Jolla, CA)
Brief Description: This is a randomized Phase I study designed to test whether an investigational drug, LSTA1, is safe and effective if administered with chemotherapy during HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy). Twenty-one (21) patients will be randomized to receive LSTA1 with HIPEC or HIPEC alone (without LSTA1) at the time of surgery. Primary outcome measure includes safety of the investigational drug when delivered intra-peritoneally; secondary outcome measures include effect on chemotherapy concentration within resected tumors, progression-free and overall survival.
Baseline Eligibility Criteria (as applies to appendix cancer):
- Histologically confirmed, non-mucinous colorectal, ovarian, or appendiceal carcinoma with peritoneal metastases who are candidates for CRS-HIPEC and have at least one radiographically visible peritoneal tumor nodule > 5 mm
- Eligible to undergo HIPEC at the time of cytoreduction
Contact: John Bienvenida (tel. 858-822-4907, jbienvenida@
Location(s): City of Hope (Duarte, California); Northwell Cancer Institute (New York, New York); and Mayo Clinic (Jacksonville, Florida)
Brief Description: This is a Phase 1 study of the side of effects of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) in treating patients with cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdominal cavity (i.e., peritoneal carcinomatosis). PIPAC is administered via laparoscopy. The pressurization of the liquid chemotherapy through the study device (a nebulizer) results in aerosolization (a fine mist or spray) of the chemotherapy introduced into the abdomen. Giving chemotherapy through PIPC may reduce the amount of chemotherapy needed to achieve acceptable drug concentration, therefore potentially reducing side effects and toxicities.
The chemotherapy agents to be administered to appendiceal cancer patients participating in this study are cisplatin and doxorubicin.
Baseline Eligibility Criteria include but are not limited to:
- Histologically confirmed appendiceal cancer with peritoneal metastases
- No contraindication for laparoscopic procedure
- No evidence of impending bowel obstruction and no current bowel obstruction requiring NG tube, gastrostomy or exclusive TPN
- Less than 5 liters of ascites (ie, room for aerosol therapy)
- Not a candidate for HIPEC

Brief Description.
This Phase II ComboMATCH patient screening trial encompasses a coordinated set of clinical trials to study cancer treatment informed by genetic testing. Patients with solid tumors, including appendiceal, that have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and have progressed on at least one line of standard systemic therapy or have no standard treatment that has been shown to prolong overall survival may be candidates for these trials.
Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with some genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit from treatment that targets that particular genetic mutation.
ComboMATCH is designed to match patients to a treatment that may work to control their tumor and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with locally advanced or advanced solid tumors.
Baseline Eligibility Criteria include but are not limited to:
- Patient must have measurable disease
- Patient must be deemed potentially eligible for a ComboMATCH Treatment Trial as assessed by the enrolling provider
- All patients must have sequencing results available from a National Cancer Institute (NCI) credentialed Designated Laboratory (DL)
- Patients must have locally advanced or advanced histologically documented solid tumors requiring therapy and meet one of the following criteria:
- Patients must have progressed on at least one line of standard systemic therapy OR
- Patients whose disease has no standard treatment that has been shown to prolong overall survival
- Patient must meet one of the following requirements:
- Patients 18 years and older who have tumor amenable to minimal risk image-guided or direct vision biopsy and must be willing and able to undergo a tumor biopsy to obtain samples for research if the patient is to enroll in a ComboMATCH treatment trial OR
- Patients 18 years and older who do not have disease that is biopsiable at minimal risk to the patient must confirm availability of an archival tumor tissue specimen for submission for research if the patient enrolls to a ComboMATCH Treatment Trial. This tumor tissue must meet the following criteria:
- Tissue must have been collected within 12 months prior to registration to the EAY191 Registration Trial
- Patient must not have had a Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) response (complete response [CR] or partial response [PR]) to any intervening therapy after collection of the tissue
- Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissue block(s) or slides must be available OR
- Patients under 18 years old must confirm availability of an archival tumor tissue specimen for submission for research if patient enrolls to a ComboMATCH Treatment Trial. This tumor tissue must meet the following criteria:
- Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissue block(s) or slides must be available
- NOTE: Each ComboMATCH Treatment Trial contains specific eligibility criteria. If patient is found to not be eligible for the assigned ComboMATCH Treatment Trial, indication of ineligibility will trigger re-evaluation and potential assignment to another Treatment Trial

Brief description: This is a Phase 2 study to be conducted in two phases (induction period and a maintenance period) in patients with all types of progressive solid tumors after at least 1 systemic treatment regimen for advanced disease (in the absence of a validated second-line therapy). The main goal of this study is to evaluate the clinical benefit of a maintenance treatment in patients with stable disease after induction treatment with a selected therapy (Molecular Targeted Therapy or MTT) or with stable disease, partial response or complete response with immunotherapy.
For MTT, the induction phase of this trial will establish whether the identification of genomic alterations in genes encoding for “actionable” targets in the tumor cells, regardless of the histological subtype, can be used to select efficient treatment targeting the pathway activated by the mutation. For immunotherapy, the induction phase of this trial with durvalumab and tremelimumab is expected to be an innovative therapy for an efficient tumor control and may allow to identify types of cancer or molecular types of cancer that are more receptive to immunity.
The second phase of the trial (maintenance period) will use a randomized design to evaluate the clinical benefit of a maintenance treatment with the targeted therapy or immunotherapy selected based on tumor molecular profile in patients treated by MTT with stable disease and in patients treated with immunotherapy with stable disease, partial response or complete response.
Approximately 500 patients will be enrolled.
Baseline Eligibility Criteria include, but are not limited to:
- Metastatic or locally advanced and unresectable solid tumor of any type not amenable to curative treatment.
- At least one prior systemic treatment regimen for locally advanced or metastatic disease. Patients who are candidates for a validated second line treatment regimen are not eligible for the study.
- A multidisciplinary molecular board must have recommended one of the investigational MTT available for the study after review of a tumor molecular profiling previously established from a biopsied lesion and/or primitive tumor.
