Trial summary

RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses a drug, such as HPPH, that is absorbed by tumor cells. The drug becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light. When the drug is active, tumor cells are killed. Read more about this study

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Biopsy confirmed carcinoma in situ (CIS) or microinvasive bronchogenic non-small cell lung carcinoma

  • Stage 0 (CIS or microinvasive) disease, meeting all of the following criteria:
  • Lesion must be radiographically occult and not definable by conventional CT scan of the chest
  • Lesion may or may not be invisible on white light bronchoscopy, but is definable and photographable on laser-induced fluorescence emission (LIFE) bronchoscopy
  • Biopsy of the lesion must indicate no evidence of invasion beyond cartilage on histopathology, but may be invasive through the basement membrane (microinvasive carcinoma)
  • No evidence of major pulmonary vessel encasement on CT scan of the chest

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Karnofsky performance status (PS) 50-100% OR ECOG PS 0-2

  • Alkaline phosphatase (hepatic) or SGOT ≤ 3 times ULN
  • No porphyria or hypersensitivity to porphyrin or porphyrin-like compounds
  • No severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, that in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude multiple bronchoscopies or partial central airway obstruction from mucous/debris formation
  • Patients with underlying lung disease must be judged (by the principal investigator) able to withstand mucous or debris formation at the site of treatment
  • No contraindications for bronchoscopy

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study Light Dose for Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) Using 2-[1-hexyloxyethyl]-2 Devinyl Pyropheophorbide-a (HPPH) for Treatment of Non-Small Cell Carcinoma in Situ or Non-Small Cell Microinvasive Bronchogenic Carcinoma: A Dose Ranging Study

RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses a drug, such as HPPH, that is absorbed by tumor cells. The drug becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light. When the drug is active, tumor cells are killed.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of photodynamic therapy using HPPH in treating patients with stage 0 non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine the maximally tolerated light dose (MTID) in patients with bronchogenic carcinoma in situ (CIS) or bronchogenic microinvasive carcinoma.
  • To identify the systemic and normal tissue toxicity resulting from photodynamic therapy using HPPH in these patients.

Secondary

  • To study tumor response in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive HPPH IV over 1 hour on day 1. Approximately 2 days later, patients undergo photodynamic therapy (PDT) using laser light passed through the biopsy channel of an endoscope. Patients undergo endoscopic debridement on day 5. If viable tumor is found outside of the initial treatment area, patients may receive another dose of laser light without additional HPPH at that time.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 4-6 weeks, 6 months, and periodically thereafter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HPPH in people with Lung Cancer, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute at 1 site 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?

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 4 Aug 2023. 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 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 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?

Toxicity as measured by NCI CTC v2.0 (time frame: Daily while in-house, weekly after discharge, at 4-6 weeks and at 6 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 4 Aug 2023.
