Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as irinotecan and cisplatin use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Irinotecan and cisplatin may also make the tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Preoperative Chemo/Radiation (Concurrent Irinotecan/Cisplatin/RT) Followed by Surgery in Limited Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC-LS)

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as irinotecan and cisplatin use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Irinotecan and cisplatin may also make the tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed during surgery.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of neoadjuvant radiation therapy given together with irinotecan and cisplatin followed by surgery in treating patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy with irinotecan and cisplatin followed by surgery in patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer.
  • Determine the pathologic complete response rate of patients treated with this regimen.
  • Correlate the level of vascular endothelial growth factor with treatment response and disease outcome in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Correlate genetic polymorphisms in cytochrome P450 1A1, glutathione S-transferase M1 and P1, myeloperoxidase, and NAD(p)H: quinone oxidoreductase with treatment response and disease outcome in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot study.

  • Induction chemotherapy: Patients receive cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 and irinotecan IV over 90 minutes on days 1 and 8.
  • Chemoradiotherapy: Beginning on day 21, patients receive chemoradiotherapy comprising radiotherapy once daily, 5 days a week for 4 weeks and then twice daily for 4 days. Patients also receive cisplatin IV and irinotecan IV over 30-60 minutes once weekly concurrently with radiotherapy. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

At the completion of chemoradiotherapy, patients are evaluated for surgery. Patients who are candidates for surgery receive one additional course of cisplatin IV and irinotecan IV. Patients who are not candidates for surgery receive radiotherapy twice daily for 4 days and cisplatin IV and irinotecan IV as in chemoradiotherapy.

  • Surgery: Approximately 2-4 weeks after the last dose of chemotherapy, patients undergo surgery.

Patients are followed every 4 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing cisplatin, irinotecan hydrochloride and conventional surgery in people with Lung Cancer, run by Fox Chase Cancer Center 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?

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 12 Feb 2010. 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 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?
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 12 Feb 2010.
