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

  • Cytologically or histologically confirmed small cell carcinoma of the lung that has progressed post first-line therapy. Mixed small and non-small cell tumors are excluded.
  • Prior chemotherapy for small cell carcinoma. Up to 2 prior chemotherapy regimens for small cell lung carcinoma are allowed. No prior therapy with an m-TOR inhibitor (e.g. CCI-779).
  • Unidimensionally measurable disease (RECIST criteria). If the only site of measurable disease is in a previously irradiated area, the patient must have documented progression of disease in this area.
  • ECOG performance status 0-2.
  • A minimum of 4 weeks should elapse from prior chemotherapy. Patients must have fully recovered from the effects of any prior surgery or radiation therapy or other anticancer therapies, including immunotherapy and investigational agents.
  • No progressive brain metastases. Brain metastases should have been previously treated with surgery and/or radiation.
Show all 16Show fewer
  • Patients with a prior malignancy should have at least 3 years of disease-free survival. Prior curatively treated squamous cell or basal carcinoma of the skin or in situ cervical cancer or other in situ malignancies are allowed.
  • No other coexisting medical condition that would preclude full compliance with the study.
  • Required laboratory values (obtained < 1 week prior to enrollment):
  • ANC >/= 1500/mm³
  • Platelets >/= 100,000/mm³
  • AST and ALT ≤ 3 x ULN (upper limits of normal). In patients with liver metastases AST and ALT should be < 5 x ULN.
  • Total bilirubin up to 1.5 x ULN (upper limits of normal).
  • Age >/= 18 years and capacity to give informed consent.
  • Patients should be advised to discontinue drugs that interact with CYP3A4 (see list of examples in Table 3.1 of the full protocol), if medically safe.
  • All patients must have given signed, informed consent prior to registration on study.

Who cannot join

  • Prior treatment with any investigational agent within the preceding 4 weeks.
  • Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical disease which could compromise participation in the study (i.e., uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, severe infection, severe malnutrition, unstable angina, or congestive heart failure - New York Heart Association Class III or IV, ventricular arrhythmias active ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction within six months, chronic liver or renal disease, active upper GI tract ulceration).
  • A known history of HIV seropositivity.
  • Impairment of gastrointestinal function or gastrointestinal disease that may significantly alter the absorption of RAD001 (e.g., ulcerative disease, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome or small bowel resection).
  • Patients with an active, bleeding diathesis or on anticoagulation (except low dose warfarin).
  • Pregnant and lactating women are excluded from the study because the agents used in this study may be teratogenic to a fetus and there is no information on the excretion of the agents or their metabolites into breast milk.
  • Women of childbearing potential and sexually active males must agree to use an accepted and effective method of contraception (hormonal or barrier methods, abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of the study.

About this study

Read the detailed description

This is a phase II, two-stage, open-label, single-agent study of the experimental drug RAD001 (everolimus) in patients with previously treated small cell lung cancer. Patients may have received up to 2 prior chemotherapy regimens for small cell lung carcinoma, but no prior therapy with an m-TOR inhibitor. RAD001 will be administered orally at a dose of 10 mg daily. A cycle will be defined as 3 weeks of study drug administration, and patients will have tumor measurements every 2 cycles. Study participation will continue until disease progression or intolerable toxicities. In addition, in patients who consent, archival tumor tissue (paraffin block from original biopsy) will be collected for research purposes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing RAD001 (everolimus) in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Ahmad Tarhini at 19 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 16 inclusion and 8 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 19 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Feb 2014). 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?

Determine the Proportion of Previously Treated Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) Patients Whose Disease Has Not Progressed Following 6-weeks (2 Cycles) of Treatment With RAD001. (time frame: Two cycles of treatment with RAD001 (~6 weeks)). 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 Oct 2017.
