What participants receive

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

  • topotecan, vorinostatDrug

    Also called Merck Vorinostat

    Phase I study: vorinostat will be administered daily for a number of days per cycle variable from 7 to 14 according to the level of dose escalation; topotecan will be administered I.V. for 5 consecutive days every 3 weeks.

    Phase II study: Patients will receive treatment at the recommended dose established by phase I part of the trial, for a maximum of 6 cycles or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient's refusal.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Vorinostat/TopotecanExperimentalVorinostat/topotecan dose escalation regimen. vorinostat is administered orally once a day for 7 to 14 consecutive days, according to the dose level.Topotecan is administered I.V. for 5 consecutive days every three weeks. Vorinostat dose levels go from 300 mg/day for 7 days to 400 mg/day for 14 days. Topotecan dose levels go from 1,2 mg/m2 to 1,5 mg/m2
Receives: Drug: topotecan, vorinostat

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose of the combination as the recommended dose for phase II trial [Phase I]; objective response rate of the combination [Phase II]; toxicity and safety profile of the combination [Phase II]

    Measured: Limiting tolerated dose (Phase I); efficacy/toxicity after the inclusion of the last patient (Phase II)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To assess the antitumor activity of the combination in terms of time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) [Phase II]

    Measured: After the follow up period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing topotecan, vorinostat in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Armando Santoro, MD at 1 site in Italy.

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 8 inclusion and 7 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 29 May 2013. 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 Italy. 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 combined 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.

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 was stopped early (reason given: insufficient enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Maximum tolerated dose of the combination as the recommended dose for phase II trial [Phase I]; objective response rate of the combination [Phase II]; toxicity and safety profile of the combination [Phase II] (time frame: Limiting tolerated dose (Phase I); efficacy/toxicity after the inclusion of the last patient (Phase II)). 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 29 May 2013.
