About this study

Official title: Phase I Pilot Trial of Adenovirus p53 in Bronchioloalveolar Cell Lung Carcinoma (BAC) Administered by Bronchoalveolar Lavage

RATIONALE: Exposing tumor cells to the p53 gene may improve the body's ability to fight non-small cell lung cancer.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of gene therapy in treating patients who have non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Evaluate the safety of multiple endobronchial treatments with adenovirus p53 bronchoalveolar lavage of a single lobe of the lung in patients with bronchoalveolar cell lung carcinoma.
  • Evaluate expression of the p53 gene and induction of apoptosis in tumor and normal tissues exposed to the virus in these patients.
  • Evaluate whether transbronchial administration of adenovirus p53 results in improved local tumor control in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study.

Patients undergo biopsy and receive adenovirus p53 by bronchoalveolar lavage on days 1 and 15. Patients repeat biopsy on days 3 and 28. If there is evidence of clinical benefit or response without significant toxicity, patients may receive a maximum of 3 courses. Treatment beyond 3 courses must be approved by protocol investigator.

Cohorts of 3 patients are treated at escalating dose levels of adenovirus p53. Patients in each cohort are followed for dose limiting toxicity (DLT) for 2 weeks after completion of one course before dose escalation proceeds in subsequent cohorts. If 1 of 3 patients at a dose level experiences dose limiting toxicity (DLT), then 2 additional patients are entered at the same dose level. If more than 1 of 5 patients experience DLT, the previous dose is the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). An additional 10 patients are treated at the MTD.

Patients are followed every 3 months for the first 2 years, every 6 months for the next 3 years, and annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: There will be 15 patients accrued into this study over 1 year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ad5CMV-p53 gene in people with Lung Cancer, run by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group at 3 sites 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 22 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00003649, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 22 Jun 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
