About this study

Official title: PHASE II CLINICAL EVALUATION OF PYRAZOLOACRIDINE IN PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CARCINOMA

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy with pyrazoloacridine in treating patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the antitumor activity of pyrazoloacridine (PZA) administered by 3-hour infusion to patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). II. Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicities of PZA administered on this schedule. III. Determine the response and survival durations of NSCLC patients treated with PZA.

OUTLINE: Single-Agent Chemotherapy. Pyrazoloacridine, PZA, NSC-366140.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: If 2 or 3 responses are observed in the first 18 evaluable patients, 12 additional patients will be entered. Accrual is expected to take 5-12 months.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • pyrazoloacridineDrug

    Pyrazoloacridine 750 mg/m2 by 3 hour infusion, every 21 day s in the absence of progressive disease or prohibitive toxicity.

    Depending on the prior cycle toxicity the dose should be escalated, maintained or reduced, utilizing levels: -1, 0 (initial dose level), 1 - Level +1 (820mg/m2); Level 0 (750mg/m2); Level -1 (600mg/m2)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluate toxicity of pyrazoloacridine.

    Measured: Weekly prior to each treatment cycle.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluate the response frequency of pyrazoloacridine.

    Measured: After 2 treatment cycles then every 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing pyrazoloacridine in people with Lung Cancer, run by Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate toxicity of pyrazoloacridine. (time frame: Weekly prior to each treatment cycle.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Apr 2013.
