About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of XL119 (Rebeccamycin Analogue) in Relapsed "Sensitive" Small Cell Lung Cancer

Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as rebeccamycin analog, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. This phase II trial is studying how well rebeccamycin analog works as second-line therapy in treating patients with limited-stage or extensive-stage small cell lung cancer that has relapsed after previous first-line chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the objective response rate in patients with limited or extensive stage small cell lung cancer that relapsed after prior first-line chemotherapy when treated with rebeccamycin analogue as second-line therapy.

II. Determine the duration of remission and survival of patients treated with this drug.

III. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive rebeccamycin analogue IV over 1 hour on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed annually.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-39 patients will be accrued for this study within 15 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate Estimated as the Proportion of Responders

    Response and progression will be evaluated in this study using the new international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Committee. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD; Progressive Disease (PD):At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions; Stable Disease (SD):Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started.

    An exact binomial 95% confidence interval will be calculated for this proportion.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  2. Progression Free Survival

    Median time of patients without Progressive Disease (PD):At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Duration of remission will be analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  3. Overall Survival

    Median time of patient survival. Duration of survival will be analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression Free Survival

    Percentage of patients that are progression free at 6 months.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Overall Survival

    Percentage of patients alive at 1 year

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing becatecarin in people with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer and Limited Stage 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 35 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 23 May 2014. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Jan 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Objective Response Rate Estimated as the Proportion of Responders (time frame: Up to 4 years). The study lists 3 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 23 May 2014.
