A Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Intravenous Infusion of VX15/2503 in Adult Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
VX15/2503-01 is a dose-escalation, open label study to evaluate the safety and tolerability
of IV administered VX15/2503 in patients with advanced solid tumors. This will be
accomplished by using a dose escalation procedure starting at low doses of VX15/2503 and
will continue based on predefined parameters until the maximum tolerated dose is identified.
The study drug, VX15/2503, is a monoclonal antibody that binds to the semaphorin 4D (SEMA4D;
CD100) antigen. Semaphorins have been shown to play an important role in certain
physiological processes such as vascular growth, tumor progression and immune cell
regulation. Experimental evidence suggests that SEMA4D has two mechanisms of action that
result in angiogenesis and tumor proliferation and invasion. Antibody neutralization of
SEMA4D thus may represent a new therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment.
