About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study Of PS-341 In Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of bortezomib in treating patients who have stage IIIB, stage IV, or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. Bortezomib may interfere with the growth of tumor cells by blocking certain enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the response rate, time to progression, and survival of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with bortezomib.

II. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients. III. Correlate toxicity and activity of this drug with markers of proteasome inhibition in blood and peripheral mononuclear cells in these patients.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive bortezomib IV over 3-5 seconds on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who received prior bortezomib and achieved at least a partial response of at least 6 months duration may also receive therapy as above.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall response rate to PS-341 therapy

    Measured: Up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression-free survival

    Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival (overall, progression free) and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated.

    Measured: Up to 4 months

  2. Overall survival

    Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival (overall, progression free) and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated.

    Measured: Up to 4 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bortezomib in people with Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Stage IIIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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?

The sponsor lists 29 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 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 was stopped early (reason given: Administratively complete.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Overall response rate to PS-341 therapy (time frame: Up to 4 years). 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 16 Jan 2013.
