About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study Investigating the Combination of Everolimus With Pemetrexed in Patients With Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Previously Treated With Chemotherapy

This study will evaluate the safety of everolimus in combination with pemetrexed when used as treatment in patients with non small cell lung cancer.

Being tested
Everolimus, Pemetrexed
Keywords
Lung cancer, Non small cell lung cancer, NSCLC, RAD001, Everolimus, Afinitor, Pemetrexed
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • EverolimusDrug

    Also called RAD001, Affinitor

    RAD001 will be supplied by Novartis as tablets in 3 different dosage strengths, 2.5, 5 and 10 mg. All proposed dose levels in this study can be given as a combination of these dose strengths.

    Daily doses of 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 mg of RAD001 will be given alongside the standard 21-day cycle of pemetrexed.

  • PemetrexedDrug

    Pemetrexed was supplied to the sites in 500 mg/m2 was administered on Day 1 of each cycle as a 10-minute continuous i.v. infusion in 100mL normal saline

What is being measured

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

  1. Establish feasible dose levels/regimens of everolimus combined with pemetrexed chemotherapy through estimation of the End-of-Cycle 1 DLT rate.

    Measured: Over 18 weeks of combination treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assess the ability to deliver the standard pemetrexed treatment (relative dose intensity) Assess the pharmacokinetics of everolimus and chemotherapy Evaluate the effect of therapy (RECIST)

    Measured: Over 18 weeks of combination treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Everolimus and Pemetrexed in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 5 sites in 3 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 6 inclusion and 6 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 21 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Australia, Germany, Belgium. 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 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.

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?

Establish feasible dose levels/regimens of everolimus combined with pemetrexed chemotherapy through estimation of the End-of-Cycle 1 DLT rate. (time frame: Over 18 weeks of combination treatment). 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 21 Dec 2020.
