What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Objective Tumor Response

    Objective tumor response by investigator was assessed for patients who completed at least two courses of BI 2536 treatment. Tumor images from CT (computed tomography) scan and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) were evaluated using Response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) criteria to determine best tumor response. Objective response (OR) was defined as either: complete response (CR, disappearance of all target lesions) or partial response (PR, at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum longest diameter).

    Measured: Scans during screening (day -28 till day 0) and day 1 of every other (even numbered) 21 day treatment cycle. Up to 40 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression free survival (PFS) was defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression (or death any cause). Patients who did not experience progression or death during the trial were censored at the date of last tumor assessment visit at which the patient was evaluated and did not experience progressive disease. Patients who dropped out before any evaluation of response, radiological, clinical, or pathological, were censored at the start of treatment. Progressive Disease (PD) was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    Measured: Scans during screening (day -28 till day 0) and day 1 of every other (even numbered) 21 day treatment cycle. Up to 40 weeks.

  2. Overall Survival

    Overall survival (OS) was reported as number of participants with event. Overall survival is the time from first treatment to death. In case there was no occurrence of death or progression during follow-up, the time was censored.

    Median survival time was not calculated due to the low number of deaths in the trial.

    Measured: From the start of treatment till death or discontinuation, up to 36 weeks.

  3. Duration of Overall Response

    The duration of overall objective response (OR) was measured from the time measurement criteria were met for complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) (whichever was first recorded) until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease was objectively documented (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started) or death any cause. OR is defined as either: CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum longest diameter).

    Measured: Scans during screening (day -28 till day 0) and day 1 of every other (even numbered) 21 day treatment cycle. Up to 40 weeks.

  4. Occurrence and Intensity of Adverse Events Graded According to CTCAE

    Occurrence and intensity of adverse events graded according to common terminology criteria of adverse event (CTCAE) version 3.0.

    Measured: From the start of treatment till the last infusion + 21 days, up to 36 weeks.

  5. Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicity

    Number of Participants with Dose Limiting Toxicity. Dose limiting toxicity was defined as:

    • drug related CTCAE Grade 3 or greater non-hematological toxicity (excluding untreated nausea, vomiting or diarrhea)
    • drug related CTCAE Grade 4 neutropenia for 7 or more days or complicated by infection
    • CTCAE Grade 4 thrombocytopenia.

    Measured: From the start of treatment till the last treatment + 21 days, up to 36 weeks.

  6. Number of Participants With an Increase in CTC Grade Classification for Hematological and Clinical Chemistry Laboratory Measures

    Number of participants with an increase in common terminology criteria (CTC) Grade classification for hematological and clinical chemistry laboratory measures. Changes from Baseline in laboratory measures were classified according to CTC Grades 1-4. Results summarizes the number of patients who had a change in laboratory value that represented an increase in CTC Grade classification during the study (based on maximum Grade).

    Measured: From the start of treatment till the last treatment + 21 days, up to 36 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BI 2536 in people with Carcinoma, Small Cell, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 10 sites in 2 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 12 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 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States, Canada. 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 31 May 2022). 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?

Number of Participants With Objective Tumor Response (time frame: Scans during screening (day -28 till day 0) and day 1 of every other (even numbered) 21 day treatment cycle. Up to 40 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 22 Jun 2022.
