Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 19 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed non-small cell lung carcinoma, Stage IV (distant metastases), stage IIIB with malignant pleural effusion, or recurrent disease
  • Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as >= 20 mm with conventional techniques or as >= 10 mm with spiral CT scan
  • Prior therapy: no more than 1 prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen for their Stage IIIB/IV or recurrent disease; no previous irradiation to the only area of measurable disease, unless that site had subsequent progression of disease; radiation therapy must be completed at least 3 weeks prior to initiating study drug
  • Stage IV patients with brain metastases are eligible providing the brain metastases are clinically and radiologically stable 4 weeks after treatment with surgery and/or radiation therapy, and they are not taking steroids
  • Life expectancy greater than 3 months
  • ECOG performance status 0 or 1 (Karnofsky >= 70%)
Show all 18Show fewer
  • Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
  • Leukocytes >= 3,000/mcL
  • Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL
  • Platelets >= 100,000/mcL
  • Total bilirubin within normal institutional limits
  • AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) =< 2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal
  • Creatinine within normal institutional limits OR creatinine clearance >= 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal
  • Peripheral neuropathy =< grade 1
  • Caution needs to be exercised when using SAHA with medications or substances known to affect or with the potential to affect the activity or pharmacokinetics of SAHA; since grapefruit juice is known to interact with the CYP450 enzymes, it is recommended that patients abstain from consuming grapefruit, grapefruit juice, and other grapefruit containing products during this study
  • The effects of SAHA on the developing human fetus at the recommended therapeutic dose are unknown; for this reason and because HDAC inhibitors are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
  • Patients should not have taken valproic acid, another histone deacetylase inhibitor, for at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have had chemotherapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) or radiotherapy within 3 weeks prior to entering the study
  • Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to SAHA
  • Any other active malignancy in the past 5 years except non-melanoma skin cancers
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with SAHA, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with SAHA
  • HIV-positive patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with SAHA; in addition, these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy; appropriate studies will be undertaken in patients receiving combination anti-retroviral therapy when indicated

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA) in Patients With Relapsed Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

This phase II trial is studying how well suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid works in treating patients with stage IIIB, stage IV, or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the response of non-small cell lung cancer to SAHA in the second line setting by applying RECIST criteria.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To estimate the time to progression and overall survival in this patient population.

II. To examine the toxicity profile of SAHA.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the molecular activity of SAHA by evaluating its effect on histone acetylation, upregulation of target genes, generation of reactive oxygen species, apoptosis and correlation with P53 status.

II. To explore gene expression profiles that predict response to SAHA.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid once daily on days 1-14. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 1 month and then every 3 months for 1 year or until disease progression.

Being tested
vorinostat, laboratory biomarker analysis

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Per RECIST Criteria

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors and assessed by CT: Complete Response(CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response(PR),>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response(OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: Time from treatment initiation until the end of treatment. The median number of cycles was 3 (range 1-27)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to Progression

    Time to progression per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors and assessed by CT: Complete Response(CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response(PR),>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response(OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: From start of treatment to progression (average was 3.7 months)

  2. Overall Survial

    Overall survial of subjects from the start of treatment to the time of death

    Measured: From treatment start to time of death

  3. Toxicity

    Number of participants experiencing adverse events possibly related to SAHA from first dose of treatment until 30 days from the last dose of treatment.

    Measured: From first dose of treatment until 30 days from the last dose of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing vorinostat and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Stage IIIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 5 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 18 inclusion and 7 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 30 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 May 2014). 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?

Response Per RECIST Criteria (time frame: Time from treatment initiation until the end of treatment. The median number of cycles was 3 (range 1-27)). 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 30 Jan 2018.
