  • Establish a recommended phase II expansion dosing of LBH589B and erlotinib in patients with advanced aerodigestive tract cancers.

What participants receive

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

  • Panobinostat (LBH589)Drug

    Also called histone deacetylase inhibitor, HDAC

    Panobinostat was taken twice weekly, for 2 out of 3 weeks of each cycle. Each cycle was defined as a 21-day period. Four dose levels of panobinostat in combination with erlotinib were planned: 1) dose level 1 (DL1) = panobinostat 20 mg by mouth (PO) twice weekly for 2 out of 3 weeks + erlotinib 100 mg PO daily; 2) dose level 2 (DL2) = panobinostat 30 mg and erlotinib 100 mg; 3) dose level 3 (DL3) = panobinostat 30 mg and erlotinib 150 mg; and 4) dose level 4 (DL4) = panobinostat 40 mg and erlotinib 150 mg. Doses were not escalated over the course of treatment of an individual participant.

  • erlotinibDrug

    Also called Tarceva, quinazoline

    Erlotinib was taken daily without interruption. Each cycle was defined as a 21-day period. Panobinostat was taken twice weekly, for 2 out of 3 weeks of each cycle. Four dose levels of panobinostat in combination with erlotinib were planned: 1) dose level 1 (DL1) = panobinostat 20 mg by mouth (PO) twice weekly for 2 out of 3 weeks + erlotinib 100 mg PO daily; 2) dose level 2 (DL2) = panobinostat 30 mg and erlotinib 100 mg; 3) dose level 3 (DL3) = panobinostat 30 mg and erlotinib 150 mg; and 4) dose level 4 (DL4) = panobinostat 40 mg and erlotinib 150 mg. Doses were not escalated over the course of treatment of an individual participant.

Study groups in NCT00738751
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Dose Escalation Followed by ExpansionExperimentalEligible participants were enrolled in a 3+3 dose-escalation design to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of twice weekly panobinostat plus daily erlotinib at 4 planned dose levels (DLs).
Receives: Drug: Panobinostat (LBH589); Drug: erlotinib

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    Determine safety and tolerability of erlotinib and LBH589B and establish a recommended phase II expansion dosing of LBH589B and erlotinib in patients with advanced aerodigestive tract cancers.

    Measured: 4 Months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    DCR: The percentage of patients with advanced or metastatic cancer who have achieved complete response (CR), partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD) to a therapeutic intervention in clinical trials of anticancer agents. CR: is defined as disappearance of all target lesions. PR: is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD. SD: is defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD taking as references the smallest sum LD since the treatment started.

    Measured: Up to 48 months

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS) by Cancer Type

    Progressive Disease (PD) is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions taking as references the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    Measured: Up to 48 months

  3. Overall Survival (OS) by Cancer Type

    Overall survival (OS) is the duration from date of randomization to date of death from any cause.

    Measured: Up to 48 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Panobinostat (LBH589) and erlotinib in people with Lung Cancer and Head and Neck Cancer, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute 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 20 inclusion and 23 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 4 Feb 2015. 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 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.

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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) (time frame: 4 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 4 Feb 2015.
