Who may be able to join

  • All patients must have histologically or cytologically documented small cell carcinoma of the bronchus

About this study

Official title: Cisplatin, Irinotecan and Bevacizumab (NSC# 704865) for Untreated Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Phase II Study

This phase II trial is studying how well giving cisplatin and irinotecan together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of small cell lung cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving cisplatin and irinotecan together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the percentage of patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer treated with cisplatin, irinotecan and bevacizumab who live longer than 12 months.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the response rate of patients treated with cisplatin, irinotecan and bevacizumab.

II. To evaluate the toxicity and tolerability of the combination of cisplatin, irinotecan and bevacizumab.

III. To determine the association between VEGF/KDR complex expression and VEGF plasma levels and tumor response.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive cisplatin IV over 60 minutes and irinotecan IV over 90 minutes on days 1 and 8. Patients also receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

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

Being tested
cisplatin, irinotecan hydrochloride, bevacizumab, laboratory biomarker analysis

What is being measured

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

  1. Survival time

    Described using Kaplan-Meier curves.

    Measured: The time beginning at randomization until death or last known follow-up, assessed up to 4 years

  2. Failure-free survival

    Described using Kaplan-Meier curves.

    Measured: The time between randomization and the occurrence of disease progression, or death, whichever comes first, assessed up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Frequency of toxicity, tabulated by the most severe occurrence

    Graded using the NCI CTCAE version 3.0.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cisplatin, irinotecan hydrochloride and bevacizumab in people with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 2 sites 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 0 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 17 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Survival time (time frame: The time beginning at randomization until death or last known follow-up, assessed up to 4 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Jun 2014.
