About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of BAY 43-9006 (NSC-724772) in Patients With Platinum-Treated Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer. Sorafenib may stop the growth of small cell lung cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor and by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the efficacy of BAY 43-0006 in previously-treated, platinum-sensitive and platinum-refractory patients with measurable disease and extensive stage small cell lung cancer (E-SCLC) in terms of response rate (confirmed and unconfirmed, complete and partial).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the qualitative and quantitative toxicities of BAY 43-9006 in this patient population.

II. To assess overall survival in this group of patients treated with BAY 43-9006.

III. To collect specimens via the Lung Cancer Specimen Repository Protocol (S9925) in order to perform exploratory analyses of the relationship between selected markers and patient outcomes.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to platinum sensitivity status (platinum sensitive vs platinum refractory).

Patients receive oral sorafenib twice daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for up to 2 years from study entry.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response (Confirmed and Unconfirmed, Complete and Partial Responses Per RECIST)

    Complete Response (CR) is a complete disappearance of all measurable and non-measurable disease. No new lesions, no disease related symptoms. Normalization of markers and other abnormal lab values. Partial Response (PR) is greater than or equal to 30% decrease under baseline of the sum of longest diameters of all target measurable lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-measurable disease. No new lesions. Confirmation of CR or PR means a repeat scan at least 4 weeks apart documented before progression or symptomatic deterioration.

    Measured: 8 weeks to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Patients With Grade 3 Through 5 Adverse Events That Are Related to Study Drug

    Adverse Events (AEs) are reported by the CTCAE (NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) Version 3.0. For each patient, worst grade of each event type is reported. Grade 3 = Severe, Grade 4 = Life-threatening, Grade 5 = Fatal.

    Measured: Patients were assessed for adverse events after completion of every 28-day cycle.

  2. Overall Survival

    Measured from time of registration to death, or last contact date

    Measured: 0 - 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing sorafenib tosylate in people with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer and Recurrent Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 26 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 21 May 2014. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Sep 2012). 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?

Objective Response (Confirmed and Unconfirmed, Complete and Partial Responses Per RECIST) (time frame: 8 weeks to 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00182689, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 May 2014.
