Prior to study enrollment, women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must be advised of the importance of avoiding pregnancy during trial participation and the potential risk factors for an unintentional pregnancy. In addition, men enrolled on this study should understand the risks to any sexual partner of childbearing potential and should practice an effective method of birth control. All WOCBP MUST have a negative pregnancy test within two weeks prior to first receiving investigational product. If the pregnancy test is positive, the patient must not receive investigational product and must not be enrolled in the study. In addition, all WOCBP should be instructed to contact the Investigator immediately if they suspect they might be pregnant (e.g., missed or late menstrual period) at any time during study participation. The Investigator must immediately notify BMS in the event of a confirmed pregnancy in a patient participating in the study.

Who cannot join

  • CNS lesions which are symptomatic and/or requiring escalating doses of corticosteroids.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Prior cetuximab or panitumumab. Prior severe infusion reaction to a monoclonal antibody.
  • Current grade 2 or greater skin toxicity on erlotinib therapy
  • Radiotherapy ≤ or = to 14 days prior to enrollment
  • Any investigational agent or therapy ≤ or = to 30 days before enrollment
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Systemic chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, or experimental or approved proteins/antibodies (except erlotinib) ≤ or = to 30 days before enrollment

About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Trial of Cetuximab in Patients With Lung Adenocarcinoma Receiving Erlotinib That Have Developed "Acquired Resistance" to Erlotinib

The purpose of this study is to test if cetuximab (Erbitux) can shrink lung cancers that initially became smaller after taking erlotinib and then started to get bigger despite continuing treatment. Cetuximab is a medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug administration for treatment of head and neck and colon cancer. The goal of the phase I portion of this trial is to find out the highest dose of cetuximab that can be taken together with erlotinib. This study will also give an idea of how well cetuximab shrinks lung cancer when given with erlotinib.

Cetuximab is a medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug administration for treatment of head and neck and colon cancer. The goal of this phase is to determine if cetuximab given with erlotinib causes lung cancers to shrink in size.

What participants receive

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

  • erlotinib with cetuximabDrug

    The phase I portion will accrue as many as 3 cohorts of 3-6 patients; receiving erlotinib 100 mg daily along with escalating doses of cetuximab administered every 2 weeks beginning at 250mg/m2 IV without a loading dose. Subsequent cetuximab dose levels will be 375 mg/m2, and 500 mg/m2, administered IV every 2 weeks. Patients will have baseline CT, labs and ECG done within 2 weeks of study entry. Three patients will be enrolled per dose level. Patients will be monitored for toxicity weekly for the first 5 weeks, and every 2 weeks thereafter. Patients will be monitored for response by CT in the fourth week of combined therapy and every 8 weeks. All patients in this portion of the trial will receive intravenous cetuximab every two weeks at the MTD (to be determined in phase I portion) and daily erlotinib on an outpatient basis and will obtain clinical re-evaluation and radiographic re-imaging on a schedule similar to that followed in the phase I portion

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1ExperimentalIn the phase I portion, patients will be enrolled in cohorts of 3-6 patients;receiving daily erlotinib 100 mg along with cetuximab given every 2 weeks beginning at 250mg/m2 IV. Following the initial dose, for dose levels 1 and 2 (250 mg/m2 and 375 mg/m2) patients will receive treatment every 2 weeks with cetuximab over 60 minutes. For dose level 3 (500 mg/m2) patients will receive treatment every 2 weeks with cetuximab over 120 minutes. The infusion rate of cetuximab should never exceed 10 mg/minute (5 mL/min). The dose may subsequently be reduced for individual patients, depending on a patient's toxicity.
Receives: Drug: erlotinib with cetuximab

What is being measured

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

  1. The Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Cetuximab Given Every 2 Weeks

    To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of cetuximab given every 2 weeks in patients with lung adenocarcinoma receiving erlotinib that have developed acquired resistance to erlotinib (phase I portion)

    Measured: At conclusion of study, up to 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing erlotinib with cetuximab in people with Lung Adenocarcinoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 5 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 13 inclusion and 11 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 30 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Apr 2015). 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 Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Cetuximab Given Every 2 Weeks (time frame: At conclusion of study, up to 24 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 30 Apr 2015.
