About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Sorafenib in Combination With Carboplatin and Docetaxel in the First Line Treatment of Stage IIIB/IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This is an open-label, single institution, phase II study of Sorafenib in combination with docetaxel and carboplatin in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Docetaxel and carboplatin will be given on day 1 of every three week cycle. Patients will take Sorafenib twice a day on the 1st day of treatment and continue to take the medication every day until progression of disease, prohibitive toxicity, or patient withdrawal from the study. Chemotherapy courses will repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity for a total of four cycles.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be monitored after every two cycles (6 weeks) for tumor response, stability, or progression by radiographic imaging studies. The primary goal of this study is to determine the clinical response rate of this regimen in patients with advanced lung cancer. Secondary endpoints include time to progression, overall survival, and toxicity. Blood levels of ERK-phosphorylation, activated caspase 3, cyclin D1, anti -cIAP2, p-Akt, and Mcl1 activity will be measured at the beginning, middle and end of therapy to help identify predictors of drug response and toxicity during the first cycle of treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Number of Patients With Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC Response Rate to the Combination Therapy of Sorafenib and Docetaxel/Carboplatin

    The response rate from the combination therapy of Sorafenib and Docetaxel/carboplatin for patients with Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC.The best overall response is the best response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started). The patient's best response assignment will depend on the achievement of both measurement and confirmation criteria (see section 9.3.1).Tumor Response: Evaluation of target lesions Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions Partial Response (PR): a) At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD.

    Progressive Disease (PD): a) At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    Measured: 30 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Participants the Progression-free Survival (PFS) .

    Disease progression is based on RECIST documentation. Progressive Disease (PD): Appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions

    Measured: 30 months

  2. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events

    Assessment of adverse events related to the combination infusion, These include a Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is an adverse event occurring at any dose that results in any of the following outcomes:

    1. Death
    2. Life-threatening
    3. Persistent or significant disability/incapacity
    4. In patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
    5. Congenital anomaly/birth defect or • blood dyscrasia without inpatient hospitalization
    • convulsions without inpatient hospitalization
    • intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm without inpatient hospitalization
    • development of drug dependency
    • drug abuse
    • overdose with an associated serious event, or required intervention to prevent impairment/damage

    Measured: 30 months

  3. The Number of Participants With Biomarkers of Sorafenib Activity and Toxicity

    Monitored at designated timepoints.All patients will be evaluable for toxicity from the time of their first treatment with SORAFENIB.

    Measured: 30 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sorafenib + Docetaxel/Carboplatin in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine 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 5 inclusion and 3 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 22 Oct 2019. 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 22 Oct 2019). 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?

The Number of Patients With Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC Response Rate to the Combination Therapy of Sorafenib and Docetaxel/Carboplatin (time frame: 30 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 22 Oct 2019.
