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

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed extensive-stage SCLC, which is c-kit-positive by immunohistochemistry. Extensive-stage is defined as disease that extends beyond one hemithorax and regional lymph nodes (ipsilateral or contralateral hilar, mediastinal or supraclavicular lymph nodes), or with cytologically positive pleural effusion.
  • No prior chemotherapy for SCLC. Patients who have started therapy with cisplatin and irinotecan, at the dosages mentioned in the protocol, prior to registration can be registered on the trial if done so within 21 days after the start of the first cycle of chemotherapy. Prior palliative radiation therapy will be allowed as long as radiation was completed at least 2 weeks before starting protocol therapy.
  • At least 18 years of age
  • At least one uni-dimensionally measurable lesion or an evaluable outside the field of any prior radiation therapy.
  • 5. Adequate organ function
  • 6. Patients must sign informed consent that details the investigational nature of the study according to the institutional and federal guidelines.

Who cannot join

  • Symptomatic or history of untreated brain or leptomeningeal metastases. Treated patients should be neurologically stable for 2 weeks after completion of appropriate therapy.
  • Previous or concurrent malignancies, with the exception of adequately treated squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma of the skin, in situ carcinoma of the cervix, or any other malignancy treated and in clinical remission for more than 3 years.
  • Major surgery or radiation therapy within 2 weeks of enrollment.
  • Peripheral neuropathy of NCI grade greater than 2.
  • Symptomatic edema from any etiology.
  • Therapeutic anticoagulation with warfarin. Patients can be eligible if they are changed from warfarin to low molecular weight heparin or heparin at least 2 weeks prior to starting Gleevec.

  • Serious concomitant medical illness, including, but not limited to, uncontrolled congestive cardiac failure, uncontrolled angina, myocardial infarction and/or stroke within 3 months, or HIV infection.
  • Acute or chronic liver disease (e.g., chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis).
  • History of dementia, active psychiatric disorder or any other condition, considered by the treating physician to impair the patient's ability to take oral pills on a daily basis or comply with the protocol requirements.
  • Pregnant or lactating females. All pre-menopausal and peri-menopausal women should have a negative urine pregnancy test prior to enrollment. All patients, men and women, of reproductive potential should agree to use an effective contraceptive method for the duration of the trial and for 3 months after discontinuation of study treatment.
  • Patients should not participate in other investigational agent study while taking part in this trial.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Gleevec (Imatinib Mesylate, STI571) Maintenance Therapy After Induction Irinotecan and Cisplatin in Patients With C-Kit Positive, Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

This study involves being treated initially with a combination of drugs called irinotecan and cisplatin (induction therapy), followed by treatment with a drug called Gleevec (maintenance therapy). The main purpose of this study is to determine if this type of treatment will delay the growth of the tumor and if so, for how long. The investigators also want to find out how the tumor is affected solely by induction therapy with irinotecan and cisplatin, what side-effects occur when Gleevec maintenance therapy is used, and if this treatment (induction followed by maintenance therapy) will improve the duration of survival

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • GleevecDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor assessment should have been done within 28 days of starting Gleevec. Tumor assessment will be done every 8 weeks while on Gleevec.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Clinical assessment, labs, and toxicity will be done weekly from weeks 2 through 8. Evaluation may be done more frequently after the first 8 weeks if required, but should be done at least every 4 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gleevec in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center at 1 site 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 6 inclusion and 11 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 16 Nov 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Tumor assessment should have been done within 28 days of starting Gleevec. Tumor assessment will be done every 8 weeks while on Gleevec.. 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 16 Nov 2010.
