About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of SB-715992 in Recurrent or Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck

This phase II trial is studying how well SB-715992 works in treating patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as SB-715992, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the antitumor activity of SB-715992 in recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck using objective response rates (partial and complete responses).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the duration of objective response, rate and duration of stable disease, progression-free, median and overall survival rates of SB-715992 in recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

II. To document the safety and tolerability of SB-715992 in recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

III. To characterize the population pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of SB-715992 including an assessment of significant covariates on SB-715992 PK and an assessment of the potential relationships between the pharmacokinetics of SB-715992 and relevant safety and efficacy endpoints.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, nonrandomized, multicenter study.

Patients receive SB-715992 IV over 1 hour on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed for survival.

Being tested
ispinesib, laboratory biomarker analysis, pharmacological study
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Antitumor Activity of SB-715992 Using Objective Response Rates (Partial and Complete Responses)

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesion

    Measured: Up to 18 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Duration of Objective Response

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesion

    Measured: Up to 18 months

  2. Number of Participants With Clinical and Objective Stable Disease

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Stable Disease (SD), neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for a Partial Response nor sufficient increase to qualify for Progression of Disease.

    Measured: Up to 18 months

  3. Median Overall Survival of SB-715992

    Overall survival is defined as the time from enrolment until death due to any cause. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate overall survival.

    Measured: Up to 18 months

  4. Median Time to Progression

    Time to progression (TTP) is defined as the time from enrolment onto the study until progression or death. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate TTP.

    Measured: Up to 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ispinesib, laboratory biomarker analysis and pharmacological study in people with Metastatic Squamous Neck Cancer With Occult Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Recurrent Metastatic Squamous Neck Cancer With Occult Primary, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in Canada.

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 23 inclusion and 20 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 6 Mar 2017. 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 Canada. 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 6 Mar 2017). 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?

Antitumor Activity of SB-715992 Using Objective Response Rates (Partial and Complete Responses) (time frame: Up to 18 months). 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 6 Mar 2017.
