About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase II Trial of Single Agent Motexafin Gadolinium for Second Line Treatment of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of MGd in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) when given alone, and to evaluate the difference between two dosing regimens.

Read the detailed description

Outline:

Two-arm, open-label, randomized, 2-stage Phase II trial. Patients will be randomized on the first stage to 1 of 2 treatment arms:

Arm A - 10 mg/kg MGd once per week

Arm B - 15 mg/kg MGd once every 3 weeks

Patients will be treated on 3 week cycles, up to a maximum of 8 cycles (24 weeks). Patients with either objective response or stable disease after 2 cycles will receive up to 8 cycles of therapy. Patients with progressive disease will be terminated from the study.

At the end of Stage I, both treatment arms will be evaluated, and only the arm(s) that demonstrate at least one response (Complete Response or Partial Response) will proceed to Stage II. If both arms demonstrate a response, then both will proceed to Stage II.

What is being measured

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

  1. To estimate the response rates of two different MGd dosing regimens for the treatment of NSCLC

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To select the most effective regimen based on tumor response

  2. To estimate the time to progression

  3. To estimate survival

  4. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2 dosing regimens of MGd in NSCLC patients

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Motexafin Gadolinium in people with Adenocarcinoma and Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by Pharmacyclics LLC. at 16 sites in 2 countries.

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 6 inclusion and 22 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 20 Aug 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in United States, 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?

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?

To estimate the response rates of two different MGd dosing regimens for the treatment of NSCLC. 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 Aug 2008.
