About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Study of ABT-751 in Combination With Carboplatin in Patients With Advanced Lung Cancer

Primary Objectives:

The primary objectives of this study are as follows:

Read more
  • To determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of escalating ABT-751 in combination with fixed dose carboplatin in patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • To evaluate the efficacy of the combination with ABT-751 and carboplatin in patients with advanced NSCLC
  • To determine the median survival in the study population

Secondary Objectives

The secondary objectives are:

  • To characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of ABT-751 given in combination with carboplatin in a subset of patients, treated at the MTD or recommended doses for Phase 2.
  • To determine the pharmacodynamics of ABT-751 as a single agent and the combination of ABT-751 and carboplatin as evaluated by cell cycle analysis of buccal mucosa cells.
Read the detailed description

This primary objective of this Phase 1/2 study is to evaluate the DLT and MTD of escalating oral doses of ABT-751 given BID (twice daily) on Day 1 of each cycle for 7 days in combination with carboplatin given on a 21-day schedule. The carboplatin dose is fixed at AUC 6 and will be administered on Day 4 during the first cycle to facilitate the pharmacokinetic analysis. During the subsequent cycles both agents will be administered on Day 1. ABT-751 is administered at the following dose levels using the Simon rapid dose escalation model: 100, mg, 125 mg, 150 mg, 175 mg and 200 mg BID.

Initially, 1 patient will be enrolled in dose level 1. If the patient experiences a Grade 2 toxicity, an additional 2 patients will be enrolled at the same dose level. If 1 of the 3 patients experiences a Grade 3 (or higher toxicity), the cohort will be expanded to 6 patients. However, if 1 patient completes one cycle at the assigned dose regimen without experiencing a Grade 2 toxicity, enrollment in the next cohort (dose level 2) can begin. This rapid dose escalation scheme will apply to cohorts 1 through 3.

Initially, in the 4th cohort (dose level 4), a minimum of three patients will be enrolled. If 1 of the 3 patients experiences a Grade 3 (or higher toxicity), the cohort will be expanded to 6 patients. However, if 3 patients complete one cycle at the assigned dose regimen without experiencing a Grade 3 (or higher toxicity), enrollment in the next cohort (dose level 5) can begin. This scheme will apply to cohorts 4, 5, and 6 MTD is defined as the highest dose of ABT-751 given in combination with carboplatin at which fewer than 33% of patients experience DLT. MTD will be evaluated at the end of the first cycle (21 days). Toxicities will be determined also at the end of cycle 2 to evaluate the safety of combining both agents on day 1. If the MTD has not been determined after completion of the 6th cohort (dose level 6), based on an overall review of toxicity at each cohort, the Investigator may select a dose thought to be the recommended dose for Phase 2 studies. Six patients treated at MTD will undergo PK (pharmacokinetic) and PD (pharmacodynamic) evaluation. An additional cohort of 14-20 patients will be enrolled at either the MTD or at the recommended Phase 2 dose level administering both drugs on day 1. During this portion of the study patients will be withdrawn from the study if any of the following occur:

  • Patient or patient's legally acceptable representative decides to withdraw consent.
  • Patient's response to therapy is unsatisfactory, as evidenced by progression of disease as defined by RECIST Criteria for Tumor Response (within 2 cycles)
  • The patient experiences toxicities deemed possibly or probably related to drug that have not resolved to at least Grade 2 or lower within three weeks.
  • The patient requires more than one dose reduction because of toxicities attributable to ABT-751.
  • The patient requires during the study period alternate antineoplastin agent, concurrent radiotherapy or surgery of the only measurable site(s) of disease.
  • The patient becomes pregnant or begins to breast-feed.
  • The investigator believes it is in the best interest of the patient to discontinue study drug administration.

If grade 3 or higher toxicities develop in 2 or more out of the first 6 patients who receive both drugs on day 1 on a dose level at which no such toxicities were noted on the ABT-751 day 1/carboplatin day 4 schedule, the additional patients for the second portion of the study will receive the latter schedule.

If toxicities characteristic of carboplatin (myelosuppression and others) are observed at the AUC 6 dose, carboplatin dose will be lowered to AUC 4.5 and the following dose escalation schema will be employed, beginning at the same ABT-751 dose as the one at which the toxicity developed:

All patients should receive antiemetics prior to carboplatin. A regimen of dexamethasone 10 mg and dolasetron 100 mg IV prior to carboplatin infusion may be used.

The study enrollment will be limited to patients with advanced NSCLC. Treatment will continue until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicities or withdrawal of informed consent. Male and female cancer patients will be selected to participate in the study according to the selection criteria.

    The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of escalating ABT-751 in combination with fixed dose Carboplatin AUC 6 in patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Initially, 1 patient will be enrolled in dose level 1. If the patient experiences a Gr 2 toxicity, additional 2 patients will be enrolled at the dose level. If 1 of the 3 patients experience a Gr 3 toxicity or higher the cohort will be expanded to 6 patients. However, if 1 patient completes one cycle at the assigned dose regimen without a Gr 2 toxicity, enrollment in the next cohort (dose level 2) can begin. The rapid dose escalation scheme will apply to cohorts 1 through 3.

    Measured: 21 Days (end of cycle 1)

  2. Objective Response Rate of Participants Using A Combination of ABT-751 and Carboplatin

    The effectiveness of the combination with ABT-751 and carboplatin in patients with advanced NSCLC as measured by objective response rate. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) for target lesions and assessed by CT or MRI: Complete Response (CR), The disappearance of all known disease determined by two observations not less than four weeks apart.; Partial Response (PR), At least a 30% or more decrease in total tumor load of the lesions that have been measured to determine the effect of therapy by two observations not less than four weeks apart.; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR

    Measured: 42 days (end of cycle 2)

  3. The Median Survival in the Study Population

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ABT-751 and Carboplatin in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer and Lung Cancer, run by Konstantin Dragnev 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 12 inclusion and 16 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 12 Oct 2018. 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 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 12 Oct 2018). 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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of ABT-751 in Combination With Carboplatin (time frame: 21 Days (end of cycle 1)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00735878, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Oct 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
