About this study

Official title: Phase I Dose Finding Clinical Trial of Combination Paclitaxel, Carboplatin and Temozolomide for Subjects With Solid Tumor Malignancies.

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerable dose of temozolomide in combination with fixed dose of paclitaxel and carboplatin and to determine the overall tumor response rate with this combination and to determine the duration of response.

Read the detailed description

The objective of the research study is to test a combination of drugs to treat small cell lung cancer which has spread beyond the lungs (extensive cancer) or come back after earlier treatment (recurrent cancer).

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose of Temozolomide in Combination with Fixed Doses of Paclitaxel and Carboplatin

    Temozolomide was administered at different dose levels (see Cohorts 1-4) until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was reached. MTD is the dose at which 0/6 or 1/6 patients in the cohort experience dose limiting toxicity (DLT) during the first 4 week cycle with the next higher dose having at least 2/3 or 2/6 patients experiencing DLT. DLT will have occurred when the patient has 1 or more Grade 4 hematologic or nonhematologic toxicities. A DLT must occur in the first cycle of the combination and must be at least possibly attributed to the treatment regimen. Toxicities will be graded according to the NCI CTCAE Version 3.0.

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Tumor response rate

    Tumor response is evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.0 as determined by the investigator. Complete response (CR): Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. Partial response (P): >= 30% reduction from baseline in the sum of the longest diameter of all lesions. CR and PR criteria should be met again after 4 weeks and before 6 weeks after initial assessment. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient increase to qualify for PD nor sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR. Progressive disease (PD) for target lesions: >= 20% increase in the sum of diameters of the target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum on study, and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered . PD for non-target lesions is defined as unequivocal appearance of one or more new malignant lesions or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

    Measured: 7 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Combination Treatment - Cohort 1, Combination Treatment - Cohort 2 and Combination Treatment - Cohort 3 in people with Lung Diseases and Cancer, run by New Mexico Cancer Research Alliance 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 15 inclusion and 10 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 Jan 2016. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose of Temozolomide in Combination with Fixed Doses of Paclitaxel and Carboplatin (time frame: 4 months). 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 Jan 2016.
