Trial summary

Pemetrexed is an FDA-approved treatment for advanced lung cancer but the response rate is still very low. Bortezomib is currently approved to treat myeloma in patients who have already been treated. Currently, multiple studies are actively investigating how well bortezomib works with other drugs. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Clinical Trial of Bortezomib (Velcade) + Pemetrexed (Alimta) in Previously Treated Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Pemetrexed is an FDA-approved treatment for advanced lung cancer but the response rate is still very low. Bortezomib is currently approved to treat myeloma in patients who have already been treated. Currently, multiple studies are actively investigating how well bortezomib works with other drugs. This study is testing how much bortezomib can be given to advanced lung cancer patients who have already received one treatment. This study will also see how well bortezomib and pemetrexed work together to treat lung cancer patients.

What participants receive

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

  • bortezomibDrug

    Also called Velcade (bortezomib), Alimta (pemetrexed)

    MTD of bortezomib administered Days 1 and 8 plus 500 mg/m2 pemetrexed on day 1, every three weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. (Phase I)Maximum tolerated dose of bortezomib

    Measured: Within 6 three-week cycles (18 weeks)

  2. (Phase II)determine response rate, time to progression, one-year survival, and overall survival rates

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing bortezomib in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Aptium Oncology Research Network at 4 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 11 inclusion and 17 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jan 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 combined 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

(Phase I)Maximum tolerated dose of bortezomib (time frame: Within 6 three-week cycles (18 weeks)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Jan 2010.
