Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal SN-38, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Liposome Encapsulated SN38 (LE-SN38) in the Treatment of Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal SN-38, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well liposomal SN-38 works in treating patients with small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the response rate in patients with small cell lung cancer treated with SN-38 liposome that is dosed according to a UGT1A1-specific genotype.
  • Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.
  • Determine, preliminarily, overall and progression-free survival of patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine the quality of life of patients treated with this drug.
  • Correlate UGT1A1-specific haplotypes with toxicity of this drug in these patients.
  • Correlate UGT1A1-specific haplotypes with outcomes of patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to length of time since prior treatment (previously untreated disease OR chemosensitive disease and ≥ 3 months since prior treatment vs refractory disease OR chemoresistant disease and < 3 months since prior treatment).

Patients receive SN-38 liposome IV over 90 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving a complete or partial response or patients with stable disease (SD) who were previously treated before study enrollment receive up to 4 additional courses of treatment. Patients with CNS-only disease progression receive whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT). After completion of WBRT, these patients also receive up to 4 additional courses of treatment. Patients with disease progression to sites other than the CNS or patients with SD who were previously untreated before study enrollment are removed from the study.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline, before each treatment course, and then annually for 3 years.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 73 patients (40 for stratum I and 33 for stratum II) will be accrued for this study within 16-19 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing liposomal SN-38 in people with Lung Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology.

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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Tumor response measured by number of responses (time frame: Up to 3 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 20 Jul 2016.
