About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Non-Randomized, Multicenter, Three Stage, Phase 2 Study of S-1 as 2nd Line Therapy for Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (Stage IIIB/Stage IV)

The purpose of this study is to determine whether S-1 is effective as 2nd line therapy in slowing tumor activity in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The study is also looking at the safety of S-1.

Read the detailed description

Advanced non-small cell lung cancer is relatively unresponsive to chemotherapy. This is true for the nucleoside analogue gemcitabine, with a response rate of approximately 10%, as well as for 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Even when gemcitabine is combined with other chemotherapeutic drugs or biological agents, the overall tumor response rate remains basically unchanged. S-1 is a new generation oral fluoropyrimidine that combines Tegafur (5-fluoro-1-(tetrahydro-2-furanyl)-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione [FT]), an oral prodrug of 5-FU, with two modulators, Gimeracil (5-chloro-2,4-dihydroxypyridine [CDHP]), which inhibits 5-FU degradation by dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) inhibition, and Oteracil potassium (Oxo), which inhibits 5-FU phosphorylation in the digestive tract. This combination of 3 compounds is designed to achieve enhanced antitumor activity while decreasing gastrointestinal toxicity.

This is an open-label, multicenter, single-arm, 3-stage, Phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of single agent S-1 as 2nd line therapy for patients with advanced NSCLC. The 3 stages of this study correspond to a futility stage (stage 1), a decision stage (stage 2), and a stage for improvement of precision of ORR (stage 3).

What participants receive

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

  • S-1Drug

    All patients will receive S-1 orally at a dose of 30 mg/m2 twice daily (BID) for 14 days followed by a 1-week recovery period, repeated every 3 weeks. The study may go to the second stage only if the stage 2 criteria are met, where 3/30 (10%) or more patients must have achieved a confirmed response (CR or PR) in stage 1.The study may go to the third stage only if at least 8/50 patients (16%) must have achieved a confirmed response in stage 2

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall tumor response rate (ORR - the proportion of patients with objective evidence of PR or CR)

    Measured: Each cycle will last 21 days (14 days treatment, 7 days recovery) until death or removal from study for any reason. Tumor assessmentswill be obtained at baseline and at the end of every even cycle

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To evaluate the duration of response (DR), and progression-free survival (PFS)

    Measured: Each cycle will last 21 days (14 days treatment, 7 days recovery) until death or removal from study for any reason. Pts will be followed for survival every 2 mos after PD for up to 12 mos from the date of enrollment of the last pt.

  2. To evaluate the safety profile of S-1

    Measured: Each cycle will last 21 days (14 days treatment, 7 days recovery) until death/removal from study. AEs reported through f/up; blood/urine collected at baseline, Days 8&15, w/in 24 hrs of drug on Day 1 of each cycle after Cycle 1, at end of treatment.

  3. To investigate the relationship of S-1 plasma levels (components and metabolites) with safety and efficacy parameters

    Measured: Each cycle will last 21 days (14 days treatment, 7 days recovery) until death or removal from study for any reason. s Blood samples to be obtained 1.5 ± 0.5 h, 5 ± 1 h, 7 ± 1 h postdose on Day 1 of Cycle 1 only.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing S-1 in people with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Taiho Oncology, Inc..

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 10 inclusion and 24 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 3 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Overall tumor response rate (ORR - the proportion of patients with objective evidence of PR or CR) (time frame: Each cycle will last 21 days (14 days treatment, 7 days recovery) until death or removal from study for any reason. Tumor assessmentswill be obtained at baseline and at the end of every even cycle). 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 3 Sep 2024.
