Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug may kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of a Combination of Standard Etoposide/Cisplatin and Metronomic Cyclophosphamide in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving cisplatin, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide together works in treating patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the safety of cisplatin, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide in patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer.
  • Determine the effect of this regimen on circulating endothelial cells in the peripheral blood of these patients.

Secondary

  • Determine progression-free survival, tumor response rate, and overall survival in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

  • Induction therapy: Patients receive cisplatin IV over 30 minutes-2 hours on day 1, etoposide IV over 1-2 hours on days 1-3 OR etoposide IV on day 1 and orally twice daily on days 2-3, and oral cyclophosphamide twice daily on days 8-19. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • Maintenance therapy: Patients receive oral cyclophosphamide twice daily in the absence of disease progression.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 10 patients will be accrued for this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety

    Measured: From time of registration to 30 days post treatment of last cycle.

  2. Effect of metronomic chemotherapy on circulating endothelial cells

    Collected cycle 1/day 1 of chemotherapy, Cycle 1/day 8, cycle 1/day 22, and then day 85 and 141, and at disease progression.

    Measured: Baseline to progression

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression-free survival

    Measured: Registration to time of progression

  2. Response rate

    Measured: From Registration to time of disease progression

  3. Overall survival

    Measured: From registration to time patient expires

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cisplatin, cyclophosphamide and etoposide in people with Lung Cancer, run by Gundersen Lutheran Health System 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 5 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 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?

Safety (time frame: From time of registration to 30 days post treatment of last cycle.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 5 Sep 2012.
