A Phase II Study of Bevacizumab Alone or in Combination With TRC105 for Advanced Renal Cell Cancer

This randomized phase II trial studies how well bevacizumab with or without anti-endoglin
monoclonal antibody TRC105 (TRC105) works in treating patients with kidney cancer that has
spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab
and anti-endoglin monoclonal antibody TRC105, may block tumor growth in different ways by
targeting certain cells.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare the progression-free survival at 12 and 24 weeks for bevacizumab alone or in
combination with TRC105 (anti-endoglin monoclonal antibody TRC105).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Toxicity and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) response rate for the
combination compared to single agent bevacizumab.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate tumor tissue expression of endoglin (CD105), transforming growth factor, beta
receptor II (TGFBR2), activin A receptor type II-like 1 (ACVRL1) and transforming growth
factor, beta receptor 1 (TGFBR1) kinase from pre- and post-treatment tissue samples in order
to determine whether CD105 and stem cell activation occurs after exposure to anti-vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy as predicted by laboratory models, and whether
exposure to anti-endoglin monoclonal antibody TRC105 affects these changes.

II. To compare the soluble CD105 levels at baseline and after treatment between the group
receiving bevacizumab alone and the group receiving bevacizumab in combination with
anti-endoglin monoclonal antibody TRC105.

III. To compare TGFBR2 levels at baseline and after treatment between the group receiving
bevacizumab alone and the group receiving bevacizumab in combination with anti-endoglin
monoclonal antibody TRC105.

IV. To evaluate whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be detected in this patient
population using parylene membrane filter technology, and whether changes in CTC counts and
CD105 expression on CTCs during therapy correspond to imaging and clinical response.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive bevacizumab intravenously (IV) over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 15.

ARM II: Patients receive bevacizumab as in Arm I and anti-endoglin monoclonal antibody TRC105
IV over 1-4 hours on days 1, 8, 15, and 22.

In both arms, treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up for 4 weeks.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed renal cancer; all
histologic subtypes will be eligible

- Patients must have metastatic disease which is measurable, defined as at least one
lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to
be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) to >= 20 mm in the
long axis by chest x-ray, >= 10 mm in the long axis by spiral computed tomography
(CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), calipers, or clinical exam, or >= 15 mm in the
short axis for lymph nodes

- Patients must have received at least 1 prior systemic therapy for renal cancer but no
more than 4 prior therapies; they must have documented intolerance to or progression
despite at least 1 systemic therapy; therapy administered in the adjuvant setting
counts toward the prior systemic therapy total; if adjuvant therapy is the patient's
only prior therapy the disease must have recurred during treatment or within 3 months
of discontinuation

- Allowable prior therapies include VEGF tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKIs), mammalian
target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors, and cytokine therapy (example: interleukin-2
[IL2])

- At least 2 weeks must have elapsed from the last dose of the prior systemic therapy
for biologics and 4 weeks for chemotherapy (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C);
also note that at least 3 weeks should have elapsed since prior TKI administration

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2

- Life expectancy of greater than 6 months

- Leukocytes >= 3,000/mcL

- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL

- Platelets >= 100,000/mcL

- Total bilirubin =< institutional upper limits or normal (except for Gilbert's)

- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase
[SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT])
=< 2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal (except subjects with liver metastases,
who can have AST/ALT =< 5 x ULN)

- Creatinine glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (calculated or measured) > 50 mL/min

- Hemoglobin >= 9 g/dL

- Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception
(hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for
the duration of study participation; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is
pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform
her treating physician immediately; men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also
agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study
participation, and 6 months after completion of TRC105 or bevacizumab administration

- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients who have had systemic biologic therapy or radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior
to entering the study or those who have not recovered from adverse events related to
their prior therapy

- Patients who have previously been treated with bevacizumab

- Patients who have previously been treated with TRC105

- Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents

- Known central nervous system (CNS) disease except for treated brain metastasis;
treated brain metastases are defined as having no ongoing requirement for steroids and
no evidence of progression or hemorrhage after treatment for at least 3 months, as
ascertained by clinical examination and brain imaging (MRI or CT) (stable dose of
anticonvulsants are allowed); treatment for brain metastases may include whole brain
radiotherapy (WBRT), radiosurgery (RS; gamma knife, linear accelerator [LINAC], or
equivalent) or a combination as deemed appropriate by the treating physician; patients
with CNS metastases treated by neurosurgical resection or brain biopsy performed
within 3 months prior to day 1 will be excluded

- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
composition to TRC105 or bevacizumab

- Patients on full-dose anticoagulation will be excluded; antiplatelet therapy will not
be exclusionary

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, unhealed wound, gastrointestinal fistula, symptomatic congestive heart
failure, unstable angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident

- Patients with a history of bleeding diathesis or inherited coagulopathy are excluded;
in addition, those with a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolus
within 1 year and still requiring active anticoagulation will be excluded; those with
a more remote history of DVT or pulmonary embolus may be eligible but the risk of
recurrent thrombosis should be considered

- Patients with history of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasis (HHT-1 and HHT-2)

- Serious or non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture OR history of abdominal fistula,
gastrointestinal perforation or intra-abdominal abscess within 6 months prior to day 1
