About this study

Official title: Pilot Phase II Research Study of EF5 to Measure Tumor Hypoxia in Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Knowing the level of oxygen in tumor tissue may help predict the effectiveness of anticancer therapy. EF5 is a drug used in the measurement of oxygen in tumor tissue.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of EF5 in assessing tumor response to anticancer therapy in patients who have stage I, stage II, or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Assess the frequency and degree of hypoxia as measured by etanidazole derivative EF5 binding in patients with stage I, II, or III non-small cell lung cancer.
  • Correlate hypoxia as measured by EF5 binding with potential serum/plasma markers and tissue markers of hypoxia in these patients.
  • Correlate hypoxia as measured by EF5 binding with tumor angiogenesis and apoptosis in these patients.
  • Correlate tumor perfusion with hypoxia in these patients.
  • Correlate tumor perfusion with microvessel density in tumor samples in these patients.
  • Determine the longevity of EF5 adducts in human lung tumors.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to disease stage (stage I or II vs stage III vs no stage I-III determined after pathologic staging).

Within 24-48 hours prior to the planned surgical procedure, patients receive etanidazole derivative EF5 IV over 1-2.5 hours. Tumor hypoxia is then measured using an intraoperative Eppendorf needle electrode during surgical biopsy or resection. Tumor specimens are tested for EF5 binding using immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry.

Patients are followed at 4-6 weeks.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40-60 patients (20 with stage I/II disease, 20 with stage III disease, and 20 without stage I-III disease) will be accrued for this study.

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency and degree of hypoxia as measured by EF5 binding at 24 to 48 hrs. after study drug infusion

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Correlation of hypoxia with serum/plasma markers of hypoxia, tissue markers of hypoxia, tumor angiogenesis, apoptosis, tumor perfusion, and microvessel density at 24 to 48 hrs. after study drug infusion

  2. Longevity of EF5 adducts as measured by EF5 binding

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing EF5, flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry staining method in people with Lung Cancer, run by Duke University at 2 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 1 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 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?

Frequency and degree of hypoxia as measured by EF5 binding at 24 to 48 hrs. after study drug infusion. 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 1 May 2015.
