| Scientific title | A randomised stratified multicentre phase II clinical trial of single agent pegylated arginine deiminase (ADI-PEG 20) in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma |
| Study acronym | ADAM |
| Study hypothesis | Mesothelioma is a profoundly apoptosis resistant malignancy with the benefit of palliative chemotherapy confined to a subgroup of patients (less than 40%). The rationale underlying arginine depletion with ADI-PEG 20 is that arginine auxotrophic tumours undergo programmed cell death or apoptosis, due to an absence of the rate-limiting enzyme for arginine biosynthesis, ASS1. We have documented that ASS1 is commonly absent in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) and that ADI-PEG 20 induces apoptosis of ASS1 negative MPM tumours. This study seeks to define the role of ADI-PEG 20 in patients with confirmed ASS1-negative MPM, whilst avoiding the known difficulties inherent in MPM response assessments, with a best supportive care control arm. Patients who are either not keen or unfit for front-line chemotherapy, will be randomised into this window study. The main purpose of this study is to look at the effectiveness of ADI-PEG 20 at controlling mesothelioma in patients who do not receive chemotherapy. We will also compare the results with patients who receive best supportive care only. |
| Ethics approval(s) | The South East research Ethics committee, South East Coast Strategic Health Authority on 30/12/2009 (ref: 09/H1102/107). Amendments approved on 06/07/2010 and 04/10/2010. |
| Condition | Malignant pleural mesothelioma |
| Intervention | Patients with ASS1-negative mesothelioma confirmed by immunohistochemistry will be randomised as follows: Arm A: Best supportive care (n = 21) Arm B: ADI-PEG 20 and best supportive care (n = 42) Assessment of tumoural ASS1 status by immunohistochemistry and a baseline PET-CT will take place. Patients randomised to Arm B will receive a weekly intramuscular injection of ADI-PEG 20 and weekly routine blood tests, PD and PK bloods. A repeat PET-CT will be performed between week 3 and 4 on the protocol for patients in Arm B. All patients (Arm A and B) will be followed up on a regular basis with a CT scan every 2 months. Monthly bloods and urine collection for translational research. A repeat tumoural biopsy on progression in a patient with an initial response to ADI-PEG 20. |

Performance status Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0 - 1 4. No prior systemic chemotherapy 5. Computed tomography (CT) evaluable disease by modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) criteria 6. Adequate haematological status (haemoglobin 10 g/dl or greater; white cell count 2 x 10^9/L or greater, neutrophil count 1.5 x 10^9/L or greater; platelets 100 x 10^9 /L or greater) 7. Adequate hepatic function (bilirubin less than 1.5 x upper limit of normal; aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) less than 3 x upper limit of normal) 8. Creatinine clearance greater than 30 ml/min 9. Willing to give written informed consent to participate |
| Participant exclusion criteria | 1. Any of the above inclusion criteria are not met 2. Enrolment in another clinical trial 3. Patients with surgically resectable disease 4. Recurrent pleural effusion (not pleurodesed) 5. Receipt of extensive radiation (hemi-thorax) therapy within 6 weeks before enrolment. Radiation to chest port sites following thoracotomy is permitted. 6. A history of prior malignant tumour, unless the patient has been without evidence of disease for at least three years, or the tumour was a non-melanoma skin tumour or in-situ cervix carcinoma 7. Symptomatic or known brain or leptomeningeal metastases 8. Uncontrolled or severe cardiovascular disease including myocardial infarction within 6 months of enrolment 9. New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV heart failure (attachment 10, NYHA Classification of Cardiac Disease), uncontrolled angina, clinically significant pericardial disease, or cardiac amyloidosis 10. Serious medical (e.g. uncontrolled diabetes, hepatic disease, infection) or psychiatric illness likely to interfere with participation in this clinical study 11. History of seizures 12. Patients of child-bearing age must not become pregnant. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to being registered for protocol therapy. Acceptable birth control measures whilst on the study include barrier and hormonal methods; patients that are surgically sterile are also eligible to participate in this study. 13. Females must not be breastfeeding 14. Prior exposure to ADI-PEG 20 15. Pre-planned surgery or procedures that would interfere with the study protocol 16. Allergy to pegylated products |
