Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Irinotecan and Carboplatin in Metastatic or Relapsed Small-Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving irinotecan together with carboplatin works in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the response rates in patients with metastatic or recurrent small cell lung cancer treated with irinotecan hydrochloride and carboplatin.
  • Determine the median survival of patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to prior chemotherapy (yes vs no) and disease stage (metastatic vs relapsed).

Patients receive irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 90 minutes and carboplatin IV over 15-30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

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

  • carboplatinDrug

    Also called Paraplatin, Paraplatin-AQ

  • irinotecanDrug

    Also called Camptosar®, Camptothecin-11, CPT-11

Metastatic SCLCExperimentalIrinotecan 200 mg/m2, every 21 days (intravenous) + Carboplatin AUC = 5 mg/ml x min (intravenous), every 21 days for 6 cycles

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria for target lesions and assessed by radiographic techniques. Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: Up to 36 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Median Survival of Patients Treated With This Regimen

    The length of time from the start of treatment that half of the patients in a group of patients diagnosed with the disease are still alive.

    Measured: Up to 36 months

  2. Number of Participants With Toxicity

    All adverse events were graded according to the National Cancer InstituteCommon Toxicity Criteria, version 2.0. All 80 patients were assessable for toxicity at least for the first cycle.

    Measured: Up to 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing carboplatin and irinotecan in people with Lung Cancer, run by University of California, Davis 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?

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 10 Jan 2018. 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 1 May 2017). 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?

Overall Response Rate (time frame: Up to 36 months). 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 NCT00387660, 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 10 Jan 2018.
