Trial summary

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 acridine carboxamide in treating patients who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be treated with surgery.

About this study

Official title: Open Label Phase II Study on XR5000 Administered as a 5 Day Infusion in Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

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 acridine carboxamide in treating patients who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be treated with surgery.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the effect of acridine carboxamide on objective response, response rate, and duration of response in patients with unresectable, locally advanced, progressive or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. II. Determine the toxicities and pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive acridine carboxamide IV over 24 hours for 5 days. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for a maximum of 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 6 weeks until disease progression or commencement of another treatment.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 14-25 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing acridine carboxamide in people with Lung Cancer, run by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC at 8 sites in 6 countries.

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 24 Sep 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in France, Italy, Austria, Denmark, Germany and 1 more country. 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.

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 24 Sep 2012.
