About this study

Official title: A Two-Cohort Phase I/II Trial of PTK787 and Pemetrexed With or Without Cisplatin in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancers and Malignant Pleural Mesotheliomas

This is an open-label, two-arm, multicenter Phase IA/II dose-escalation study of PTK787 in combination with Pemetrexed alone (Cohort 1) or Pemetrexed and Cisplatin (Cohort 2).

This study is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of PTK787 when administered in combination with Pemetrexed or Pemetrexed and Cisplatin, and to characterize the safety, tolerability, biologic activity, and PK profile of PTK787 in adult patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancers and mesotheliomas.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, two-arm, multicenter Phase IA/II dose-escalation study of PTK787 in combination with Pemetrexed alone (Cohort 1) or Pemetrexed and Cisplatin (Cohort 2).

This study is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of PTK787 when administered in combination with Pemetrexed or Pemetrexed and Cisplatin, and to characterize the safety, tolerability, biologic activity, and PK profile of PTK787 in adult patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancers and mesotheliomas.

In cohort 1, PTK787 will be administered orally every 12 hours on days 2-42 of a 42-day cycle. In addition, Pemetrexed will be administered on days 1 and 22.

In cohort 2, PTK787 will be administered orally every 12 hours on days 2-42 of a 42 day cycle. In addition, Pemetrexed will be administered on days 1 and 22. Thirty minutes after Pemetrexed administration, Cisplatin will be infused on days 1 and 22.

In the current study, initially patients will be treated on Cohort 1 (Pemetrexed + PTK787). Once an MTD determination is made on this cohort (or PTK787 has been escalated to the maximum dose of 750 mg Q12h enrollment will begin on Cohort 2. At the MTD dose, both cohorts will be expanded to a minimum of 20 patients to determine additional safety of the combinations.

What participants receive

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

  • PTK787 and Pemetrexed with or without CisplatinDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and Dose Limiting toxicities (DLTs) of a combination of Pemetrexed and PTK787/ZK222584 (Cohort 1) and a combination of Pemetrexed with Cisplatin and PTK787/ZK222584 (Cohort 2) in patients

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. To determine the preliminary evidence of safety of the above combinations in patients with non-small cell lung cancers and/or mesotheliomas (in the expansion cohorts)

  2. To determine the pharmacokinetics of PTK787/ZK222584 in combination with Pemetrexed and Cisplatin

  3. To determine the pharmacokinetics of Pemetrexed in combination with PTK787/ZK 222584

  4. To determine the effect of therapy with the combination on plasma levels of VEGF A, B, C and D and on plasma levels of soluble VEGF-R2.

  5. To determine the relationship between PTK787/ZK 222584 and Pemetrexed pharmacokinetics and plasma levels of VEGF A, B, C, D, soluble VEGF-R2, and exploratory chemotherapeutic response biomarkers.

  6. To determine the baseline expression of VEGF-R2 by immunohistochemistry in patients where paraffin blocks/slides are available.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing PTK787 and Pemetrexed with or without Cisplatin in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Pleural Mesothelioma, run by Nevada Cancer Institute 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 2 inclusion and 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2012. 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 combined 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.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Suspended due to data issues revealed at DSMB meeting. Planned amendment but was never submitted. Study was then closed.). Results are not available in the source record.

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 determine the Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and Dose Limiting toxicities (DLTs) of a combination of Pemetrexed and PTK787/ZK222584 (Cohort 1) and a combination of Pemetrexed with Cisplatin and PTK787/ZK222584 (Cohort 2) in patients. 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 19 Mar 2012.
