About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of STI571 in Patients With Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of imatinib mesylate in treating patients who have recurrent small cell lung cancer. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the response rate, time to progression, and overall survival of patients with recurrent small cell lung cancer treated with imatinib mesylate.

II. Correlate the presence of c-Kit mutations in tumor tissue with treatment response in patients treated with this drug.

III. Correlate individual patient variation in clinical (toxicity and/or activity), pharmacologic (pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters), and/or biologic (correlative laboratory study results) responses to this drug with genetic differences in proteins involved in drug response (transport, metabolism, and/or mechanism of action).

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to length of prior therapy (less than 3 months vs at least 3 months).

Patients receive oral imatinib mesylate twice daily for 28 days. Courses continue in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

*Patients are followed every 3 months until disease progression and then every 6 months for up to 3 years after registration.

NOTE: *Patients who develop CNS metastasis as the only site of disease progression receive therapeutic whole-brain radiotherapy and then resume study therapy.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 41 patients for stratum I will be accrued within 21 months and 50 patients for stratum II will be accrued within 25 months for this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. The proportion of patients progression-free

    Ninety-five percent confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the approach of Duffy and Santner.

    Measured: 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Survival time

    Estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: From registration to death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years

  2. Time to disease progression

    Estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: From randomization to documentation of disease progression, assessed up to 3 years

  3. Duration of response (complete response [CR] or partial response [PR])

    Measured: The date from which the patient's objective status if first noted to be either a CR or PR to the date progression is documented, assessed up to 3 years

  4. Time to treatment failure

    Measured: From the date of registration to the date at which the patient is removed from treatment due to progression, toxicity, refusal, or death, assessed up to 3 years

  5. Toxicity defined as adverse events that are classified as either possibly, probably, or definitely related to study treatment, per the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) version 2.0

    The maximum grade for each type of toxicity will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine toxicity patterns.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing imatinib mesylate and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Recurrent 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 30 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 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?

The proportion of patients progression-free (time frame: 16 weeks). 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 8 Oct 2013.
