Trial summary

This proposed phase II trial will investigate the combination of irinotecan, carboplatin and bevacizumab along with radiation in the treatment of patients with limited-stage SCLC. This study differs from our "maintenance" bevacizumab trial in that bevacizumab will begin with the initial chemotherapy treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Irinotecan, Carboplatin, Bevacizumab, and Radiation Therapy in the Treatment of Patients With Limited Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

This proposed phase II trial will investigate the combination of irinotecan, carboplatin and bevacizumab along with radiation in the treatment of patients with limited-stage SCLC. This study differs from our "maintenance" bevacizumab trial in that bevacizumab will begin with the initial chemotherapy treatment. Irinotecan/platinum regimens are emerging as standard treatments for patients with extensive-stage disease. Adding a novel minimally toxic agent to this regimen up front may further enhance this doublet's efficacy without contributing to toxicity. This trial will be one of the first clinical trials to evaluate a combination of targeted therapy and chemotherapy in the up front treatment of a common solid tumor.

Read the detailed description

Eligible patients will receive 4 courses of irinotecan, carboplatin, and bevacizumab. Radiation therapy will begin concurrently with the third course of systemic treatment. The intervals between chemotherapy courses will be 28 days.Patients will be completely restaged approximately 2 weeks after completion of chemotherapy prior to beginning treatment with maintenance bevacizumab. Those with progressive tumor or serious toxicity will come off study. Those with stable disease or objective tumor responses will continue treatment with restaging every 12 weeks for a minimum of 6 cycles (6 months).

  • Induction chemotherapy regimen Irinotecan: 60mg/m2 IV on days 1, 8, and 15 Carboplatin: AUC=4 day 1 only Bevacizumab 10 mg/kg IV days 1, 15 Cycles are repeated every 28 days for four courses
  • Radiation therapy 1.8 Gy, single daily fractions, concurrently with the third course of chemotherapy e to a total dose of 61.2 Gy (34 fractions). Patients obtaining complete remission or near complete remission will also receive prophylactic whole brain radiotherapy, given within one month after all therapy is completed (total dose 24Gy in 2Gy daily fractions).
  • Maintenance Bevacizumab Bevacizumab alone at a dose of 10 mg/kg IV days 1 and 15 each cycle, for a maximum of 6 additional cycles (6 months) with restaging every 12 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing irinotecan, carboplatin and bevacizumab in people with Carcinoma, Small Cell Lung and Lung Cancer, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC at 4 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 7 inclusion and 17 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 22 Jun 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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?

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?

progression-free survival. 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 NCT00308529, 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 22 Jun 2010.
