Trial summary

RATIONALE: Erlotinib hydrochloride and celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Celecoxib may also stop the growth of lung cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving erlotinib hydrochloride together with celecoxib may kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Phase II Clinical Trial of Combination Erlotinib (Tarceva) and Celecoxib (Celebrex) Versus Erlotinib (Tarceva)/Placebo in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients

RATIONALE: Erlotinib hydrochloride and celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Celecoxib may also stop the growth of lung cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving erlotinib hydrochloride together with celecoxib may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well giving erlotinib hydrochloride together with celecoxib works compared with erlotinib hydrochloride alone in treating patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Comparison of progression-free survival (PFS) in patients receiving erlotinib + celecoxib vs. erlotinib + placebo for advanced NSCLC.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Objective tumor response rate as defined by RECIST Criteria for subjects receiving erlotinib/celecoxib treatment arms.

II. Categorize the change in e-cadherin expression from baseline to week 8 in a subset of subjects.

III. Evaluation of overall survival (OS). IV. Measurement of COX-2, EGFR by immunohistochemistry and EGFR amplification by FISH, and EGFR mutation status to correlate with clinical response.

  1. Measurement of change in urinary PGE-M and correlation with response.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive oral erlotinib hydrochloride once daily and oral placebo twice daily on days 1-28.

ARM II: Patients receive oral erlotinib hydrochloride once daily and oral celecoxib twice daily on days 1-28.

In both arms, treatment repeats every 28 days for 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival

    Estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST), as 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: Until disease progression, up to 5 years.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Participants With Overall Response

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: 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: 16 weeks post start of treatment

  2. Progression-free Survival - Elevated PGEM

    Estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST), as 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: Until disease progression, up to 5 years.

  3. Progression-free Survival - EGRF

    Estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST), as 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: Until disease progression, up to 5 years.

  4. Progression-free Survival - Low PGEM

    Estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST), as 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: Until disease progression, up to 5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing erlotinib hydrochloride, celecoxib and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Stage IIIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by City of Hope Medical Center at 2 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 10 inclusion and 21 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 29 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 1 Mar 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?

Progression-free Survival (time frame: Until disease progression, up to 5 years.). 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 29 Mar 2017.
