About this study

Official title: Phase II Combination of Pemetrexed and Oxaliplatin in Patients With Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer After Failure to Platinum Based Adjuvant Chemotherapy

The purpose of this study is:

  • To find out if the chemotherapy treatment using Pemetrexed (Alimta) and Oxaliplatin (Eloxatin) given together will kill the cancer cells in the patient's body and shrink the size of their tumor. This may allow patients to live longer or decrease the frequency and/or severity of the symptoms caused by the cancer. Pemetrexed has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat Lung Cancer. Oxaliplatin has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of Colon Cancer. The combination of these two drugs has been used to treat patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in Italy but not yet in the USA

Other purposes of this study are:

  • To better detail the toxic effects of this chemotherapy combination.
  • To determine whether the level of specific gene and/or gene products (genes are genetic material that allows cells to make proteins such as enzymes) are useful to predict if this chemotherapy combination will work or not.
Read the detailed description

Treatment Plan:

This is a non-randomized, two stage design, open-label Phase II trial in newly diagnosed patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have previously received and failed adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy for early stage, resected NSCLC.

Correlative Studies; Molecular correlative studies (genomic and proteomic) are included in this protocol. Prior to chemotherapy, all patients will undergo a biopsy of the safest and/or most accessible site of tumor in order to obtain tissue for mRNA measurements. Additionally, patients will undergo blood sampling prior to the start of chemotherapy and after 2 and 4 cycles of therapy in order to obtain plasma for the mass spectrometry analysis.

Patients, whose second and/or third specimen cannot be collected for any reason, will remain in the trial, and treatment will continue as outlined in the protocol.

Expected Number of Patients:

The number of patients was calculated according to the procedure described in the Sample Size Calculation section of the protocol. It is estimated that up to 50 patients will be enrolled to obtain the 43 evaluable patients needed to meet the statistical design of the study.

Method of Treatment Allocation:

A patient number will be assigned sequentially to each patient upon registration. The patient number and the patient initials are to be entered on each page of the Case Report Form.

Duration of Study for Each Patient:

All patients will be treated with up to 6 cycles of chemotherapy. However, at the discretion of the treating physician and principle investigator, patients may continue chemotherapy, beyond 6 cycles, until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or the development of any study removal criteria. Patients will undergo an evaluation for extent of disease after every other treatment cycle.

Patients will be considered to be on-study for the duration of their treatment and during the 30 days following treatment discontinuation. Treatment discontinuation is defined as the last day of study treatment. All included patients will be followed up until recovery or stabilization of all adverse events or return to baseline condition. Patients who discontinue from the trial prior to experiencing disease progression will be followed monthly until demonstration of progressive disease.

Study Centers:

The H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center will conduct this trial through the Moffitt Clinical Research Affiliate Network. Patients will be evaluated and the biopsy will be performed at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center. Since all the chemotherapeutic drugs used in the protocol are FDA approved, and phase I and II safety data regarding this regimen has been published30,31, the chemotherapy may be administered at the patients' primary (referring) oncologists' office. Documentation of the administration of the chemotherapy will be obtained for record keeping purposes.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Premetrexed and OxaliplatinExperimentalPatients will be treated with oxaliplatin 120 mg/m^2 i.v. over 2 hours and pemetrexed 500 mg/m^2 i.v. over 10 minutes on Day 1 of a 21day cycle. Cycles of treatment will be repeated every 3 weeks. Folic acid and B12 supplementation is obligatory.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients Who Responded to Treatment

    We planned to determine the Overall Response Rate (ORR = CR+PR) of this regimen according to RECIST Criteria.

    Measured: Patient will continue study treatment until death, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal, or treatment delay > 3 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time to Progression (TTP)

    We planned to calculate the median Time to Progression of all participants.

    Measured: Patient will continue study treatment until death, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal, or treatment delay > 3 weeks.

  2. Number of Participants Who Experienced Toxicities

    We planned to determine the safety of the regimen (Drug Toxicities) assessed by NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0 (CTCAE v3.0)

    Measured: Patient will continue study treatment until death, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal, or treatment delay > 3 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Oxaliplatin and Pemetrexed in people with Lung Cancer, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research 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?

The sponsor lists 19 inclusion and 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 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 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 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 20 Apr 2011). 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?

Number of Patients Who Responded to Treatment (time frame: Patient will continue study treatment until death, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal, or treatment delay > 3 weeks.). 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 23 Mar 2017.
