Trial summary

PI-88 is a new experimental drug that inhibits tumour growth by reducing the formation of new blood vessels into tumours. Docetaxel is a standard second-line treatment offered to patients with non-small-cell lung cancer who haven't responded to first-line therapies (platinum-based drugs or radiotherapy).

About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Docetaxel With PI-88 in Patients With Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

PI-88 is a new experimental drug that inhibits tumour growth by reducing the formation of new blood vessels into tumours. Docetaxel is a standard second-line treatment offered to patients with non-small-cell lung cancer who haven't responded to first-line therapies (platinum-based drugs or radiotherapy). Of this group of patients, only 20% remain progression-free 6 months after starting docetaxel treatment. The PR88202 study has been designed to compare two different cancer treatments (docetaxel only, and docetaxel plus PI-88) and to work out which is more effective against the cancer. It is hoped that the combination of PI-88 with docetaxel will allow patients to extend the time it takes for their disease to progress, and also to improve their quality of life.

Read the detailed description

PR88202 is an open-label randomized study. In the initial phase of the study, patients will be randomized to receive weekly docetaxel alone, or PI-88 in combination with weekly docetaxel. Both groups will receive docetaxel (30 mg/m2), administered by intravenous infusion on days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28-day cycle. The second group only will receive PI-88 (250 mg/day) in addition to docetaxel; PI-88 will be administered by subcutaneous injection on days 1-4, 8-11 and 15-18 of each cycle. The primary efficacy endpoint is the non-progression rate at 6 months. In the extension phase of the study, patients in the combination arm who have stable disease or an objective response after up to six treatment cycles will remain on PI-88 alone as maintenance therapy. Patients who initially receive docetaxel alone and who have disease progression or unacceptable toxicity before the completion of six cycles will be eligible to receive PI-88 alone as third-line therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing docetaxel and PI-88 in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Cellxpert Biotechnology Corp. at 13 sites in Australia.

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 5 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 27 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Australia. 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?

Progression-free survival. 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 27 Jun 2022.
