Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Either histologic or cytologic documentation of recurrent small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC)
  • No more than 1 prior chemotherapy regimen; must have recurrent disease after treatment with a platinum agent (either cisplatin or carboplatin); prior chemotherapy must have been completed ≥90 days prior to documentation of relapse
  • >= 4 weeks since prior radiation therapy; prior radiation therapy is allowed either in the context of curative intent combined modality treatment for limited stage disease, prophylactic cranial radiation or palliative radiation (to the chest, brain, or other sites) initially or at relapse
  • Prior surgery is allowed provided patients have completely recovered from effects of procedure and >= 2 weeks have elapsed
  • No prior treatment with depsipeptide
  • No history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to depsipeptide
Show all 31Show fewer
  • No current treatment with any other investigational agent or drugs known to have HDI activity (HDAC or histone deacetylase inhibitor) such as sodium valproate
  • Patients with treated/controlled brain mets (defined as no need for further radiation and no requirements for steroids to control peri-tumoral edema) are eligible for this study; however, patients requiring treatment with enzyme inducing anti-convulsant drugs are not eligible; these include, but are not limited to, phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, felbamate and primidone
  • All Patients must have Measurable Disease
  • Measurable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension; the longest diameter of measurable lesions must be >= 20 mm with conventional techniques or >= 10 mm with spiral CT scan; lesions that are not considered measurable include the following:
  • Bone lesions
  • Leptomeningeal disease
  • Ascites
  • Pleural/pericardial effusion
  • Abdominal masses that are not confirmed and followed by imaging techniques
  • Cystic lesions
  • Tumor lesions situated in a previously irradiated area
  • ECOG Performance Status 0-1
  • No significant cardiac disease, including:
  • Congestive heart failure that meets New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III/IV definitions, history of myocardial infarction within one year of study entry, uncontrolled dysrhythmias, or poorly controlled angina
  • History of serious ventricular arrhythmia (VT or VF, >= 3 beats in a row), QTc >= 500 msec, or LVEF =< 40% by MUGA
  • Evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy by echocardiographic criteria or by EKG criteria (Cornell voltage criteria):
  • For Men: S in V3 plus R in aVL > 2.8 mV (28mm) For Women: S in V3 + R in aVL > 2.0 mV (20mm)
  • Patients may not be co-medicated with an agent that causes QTc prolongation
  • Patients with immune deficiency are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy; therefore, HIV-positive patients receiving combination anti-retroviral therapy are not eligible because of possible pharmacokinetic interactions with depsipeptide
  • No current treatment with potassium wasting diuretics (e.g., hydroclorothiazide); patients on such diuretics should be switched to a potassium sparing diuretic or another antihypertensive medication prior to registration
  • Granulocytes >= 1,500/μl
  • Platelets >= 100,000/μl
  • Total Bilirubin =< 1.5 x ULN
  • AST (SGOT) =< 2.5 x ULN
  • Creatinine ≤1.5 x ULN OR Calculated Creatinine Clearance >= 60 ml/min

Who cannot join

  • Non-pregnant and non-nursing because of significant risk to the fetus/infant; the effects of depsipeptide on the developing human fetus at the recommended therapeutic dose are unknown; for this reason and because histone deacetylase inhibitors are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to and for the entire duration of participation and for at least 6 weeks after completion of treatment

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Single Agent Depsipeptide (FK228) (NSC 630176; IND 51,810) in Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer

This phase II trial is studying how well FR901228 works in treating patients with recurrent small cell lung cancer. FR901228 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the response rate of patients with histologically or cytologically proven small cell lung cancer (SCLC) treated with depsipeptide in the "sensitive" relapse setting.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To describe the overall survival and failure-free survival of patients with histologically proven recurrent SCLC treated with depsipeptide.

II. To evaluate the toxicity of depsipeptide in patients with relapsed SCLC. III. To evaluate surrogate biological markers from peripheral blood mononuclear cells and buccal epithelial cells: p53 acetylation, histone acetylation, p21CIP1 expression.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive FR901228 (depsipeptide) IV over 4 hours on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for at least 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who have continuing tumor response or stable disease after 6 courses receive 2 additional courses beyond best response.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 3 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing romidepsin 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 31 inclusion and 1 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 10 Apr 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?

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?

Objective response rate (time frame: Up to 4 years). 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 10 Apr 2014.
