About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Irinotecan, Carboplatin, and Sunitinib in the First Line Treatment of Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

This proposed Phase II trial will investigate the combination of irinotecan and carboplatin followed by sunitinib in the first-line treatment of patients with extensive-stage SCLC.

Read the detailed description

Irinotecan/platinum regimens are emerging as standard treatments for patients with extensive-stage disease. The irinotecan/carboplatin doses that will be used in this study have been used in two previous Phase II SCLC trials, and were found to be extremely well tolerated (Thompson et al. 2005; Spigel et al. 2007). Adding a novel, minimally toxic agent to this regimen may further enhance efficacy in this patient population without contributing to toxicity. This trial will evaluate the use of sunitinib following 6 cycles of treatment with chemotherapy in the treatment of SCLC.

The trial will be performed under the leadership of SCRI, a community-based, multi-center, clinical trial organization.

What participants receive

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

  • irinotecanDrug

    Also called Camptosar

    irinotecan 60 mg/m2 intravenously (IV) on Days 1, 8, and 15

  • CarboplatinDrug

    Also called Paraplatin

    carboplatin AUC=4 on Day 1

  • sunitinibDrug

    Also called Sutent

    sunitinib 25 mg orally (PO) daily after initial chemotherapy

Study groups in NCT00695292
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
InterventionExperimentalPatients in the study will receive the following for the duration of the study: irinotecan 60 mg/m2 intravenously on Days 1, 8, and 15 and carboplatin AUC=4 on Day 1. The study will consist of 28-day cycles, to a maximum of 6 cycles of therapy with irinotecan and carboplatin. After treatment with irinotecan and carboplatin, sunitinib will be given alone as maintenance therapy in all patients who have achieved study entry hematologic criteria and who do not have progressive disease or severe toxicity. During sunitinib maintenance therapy, patients will receive sunitinib at 25 mg orally daily. Sunitinib maintenance therapy will continue until progressive disease or irreversible toxicity occurs. Re-staging will be performed every 2 cycles (every 8 weeks) during the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. One-year Survival, The Percentage of Patients Who Are Alive One Year After Completing Protocol Treatment

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR), the Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment

    Objective benefit is defined as substantial (30% or greater) shrinkage in tumor volume per RECIST 1.0.

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Time to Progression

    Time To Progression (TTP) was defined as the interval between the start date of treatment and the date of occurrence of progressive disease

    Measured: 18 months

  3. Median Overall Survival

    Overall survival was defined as the interval between the date of study entry until the date of death.

    Measured: 18 months

  4. Number of Participants Experiencing Treatment Related Toxicity

    The toxicity assessments were made according to the common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE version 3.0) of the National Cancer Institute. Number of participants with Grade 1 to 5 adverse events are reported here.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing irinotecan, Carboplatin and sunitinib in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC at 10 sites 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 9 inclusion and 9 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 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites 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 15 Feb 2013). 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?

One-year Survival, The Percentage of Patients Who Are Alive One Year After Completing Protocol Treatment (time frame: 18 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 Nov 2021.
