About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Trial of Fixed Doses of Daily Gefitinib With Escalating Doses of Daily RAD001 in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Gefitinib and everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Giving gefitinib together with everolimus may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects, best way to give, and best dose of giving gefitinib with everolimus and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage IIIB or stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of everolimus when administered with gefitinib in patients with stage IIIB or IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. (Phase I)
  • Determine the efficacy of this regimen in these patients. (Phase II)

Secondary

  • Assess the pharmacokinetics of everolimus, alone and in combination with gefitinib, in these patients. (Phase I)

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, phase I, dose-escalation study of everolimus followed by a phase II study.

  • Phase I: Patients receive oral everolimus once on day 1. Beginning on day 8, patients receive oral gefitinib once daily. Beginning on day 22, patients receive oral everolimus once daily. Both drugs are then given concurrently for the rest of the treatment. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of everolimus until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which no more than 1 of 6 patients experiences dose-limiting toxicity.

  • Phase II: Patients receive oral everolimus at the MTD determined in phase I and oral gefitinib once daily. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Objective Response

    Determine efficacy of the combination oral daily gefitinib and oral daily RAD001 in patients with advanced NSCLC. Response and progression will be evaluated in this study using the international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing everolimus and gefitinib in people with Lung Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering 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 21 Jan 2016. 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 combined 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.

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 21 Jan 2016). 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?

Overall Objective Response (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00096486, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Jan 2016.
