About this study

Official title: Determination of the Toxicity of Standard Dose Cetuximab Together With Concurrent Individualised, Isotoxic Accelerated Radiotherapy and Cisplatin-vinorelbine for Patients With Stage III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A Phase I Study

To determine the MTD toxicity of standard dose cetuximab together with concurrent individualized, isotoxic accelerated radiotherapy and cisplatin-vinorelbine

Read the detailed description

Phase I trial with escalating doses of vinorelbine and standard doses of radiotherapy, cisplatin and cetuximab.

Eligible patients receive 2 cycles of carboplatin (AUC 5) day 1 and gemcitabine (1250 mg/m2) days 1,8. One cycle duration is 21 days.

Patients without progressive disease (PD) according to the RECIST criteria (appendix 1) will be entered in the phase I dose-escalation part of the study. Chest radiation is given concurrently with cetuximab, cisplatin and vinorelbine. The latter drug will be escalated in three steps until dose-limiting toxicity occurs.

On day 43, i.e. 14 days after the last gemcitabine delivery, radiotherapy is started.

Radiotherapy: In all patients in every dose-step, the radiation will be given as follows: first 3 weeks: 1.5 Gy BID to a dose of 45 Gy in 30 fractions, then 2 Gy QD to a mean lung dose (MLD, this is related to radiation-induced lung damage) of 19 Gy. Maximum dose: 69 Gy given in 5.5 weeks. Maximum dose to the spinal cord: 50 Gy.

Cetuximab: All patients will receive a starting dose 400 mg/ m2 7 days before the beginning of radiotherapy (i.e. day 36), thereafter a weekly dose 250 mg/ m2 during the course of radiotherapy for 5 consecutive weeks. Cetuximab will be delivered at the same days as chemotherapy.

Cisplatin: In all patients in every dose-step, cisplatin will be given as follows: Step 1, 2 and 3: 50 mg/ m2 days 43, 50; 40 mg/m2 day 64.

Vinorelbine will be escalated in three steps:

Step 1: 10 mg/ m2 days 43, 50; 8 mg/m2 days 66 and 73. Step 2: 20 mg/ m2 days 43, 50; 8 mg/m2 days 66 and 73. Step 3: 20 mg/ m2 days 43, 50; 15 mg/m2 days 66 and 73.

What participants receive

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

  • CetuximabDrug

    Eligible patients will be given 2 cycles(of 21 days) of carboplatin (AUC 5) day 1 and gemcitabine (1250 mg/m2) days 1,8. Patients without progressive disease will be entered in the phase I dose-escalation part of the study. Chest radiation will be given concurrently with cetuximab, cisplatin and vinorelbine, which will be escalated in 3 steps until dose-limiting toxicity occurs.

    14 days after the last gemcitabine (=day 43), radiotherapy is started : First 3 weeks: 1.5 Gy BID to a dose of 45 Gy in 30 fractions, then 2 Gy QD to a mean lung dose of 19 Gy. Cetuximab: 400 mg/m2 7 days before radiotherapy (= day 36) and during the course of radiotherapy a weekly dose 250 mg/m2. Cetuximab will be delivered at the same days as chemotherapy.

    Cisplatin(all steps): 50 mg/m2 days 43, 50; 40 mg/m2 day 64.

    Vinorelbine:

    Step 1: 10 mg/ m2 days 43, 50; 8 mg/m2 days 66 and 73. Step 2: 20 mg/ m2 days 43, 50; 8 mg/m2 days 66 and 73. Step 3: 20 mg/ m2 days 43, 50; 15 mg/m2 days 66 and 73.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cetuximab in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Maastricht Radiation Oncology at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 16 inclusion and 8 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 19 Jul 2011. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) 3 months after the ende of chemo-radiation (time frame: 3 months). 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 19 Jul 2011.
